I'm thinking of getting a bike for exercise. I'd mostly ride on bike trails but would occasionally do light trails. I'd like a smooth ride so front and rear suspension is a must. Does anybody have recommendations for bottom of the line suspended mountain bikes. I'd be looking for used bikes so I guess mostly I'd like recommended brands (both for and against).

Please let me know and I'll head south.

הצערים שלי. קרע את אנכלי רונית. Condolences, Todd. Hope the translator worked OK.

If you really want to go light, check out Ray-Way products. With lots of help from a friend, I made one of their sleeping quilt kits. I like it much more than any sleeping bag I've ever had.

Hope you feel better soon, Brent.

Congrats, Wayne. That's a great honor.

Puget Sound says that they have 2 EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB ACX in stock. Price is $366.47. See here.

Here are Mazda sales according to goodcarbadcar.net, both the Mazda3 and CX-5 are outselling the Mazda6 so far in 2014 (1st column is ytd July 2014, 2nd column is ytd July 2013, 3rd column is 2013-2014 change, 4th column is July 2014, 5th column is July 2013, 6th colum is 2013-2014 July change): #46 Mazda 3 61,529 61,937 -0.7% 9381 9236 1.6% #50 Mazda CX-5 59,384 45,880 29.4% 9109 7825 16.4% #85 Mazda 6 31,967 25,115 27.3% 5049 3447 46.5% #149 Mazda CX-9 10,931 16,756 -34.8% 1678 2084 -19.5% #157 Mazda 2 10,032 6394 56.9% 2075 800 159% #170 Mazda 5 8762 10,023 -12.6% 1547 922 67.8% #211 Mazda MX-5 Miata 3062 3812 -19.7% 399 663 -39.8% See table at http://www.goodcarbadcar.net/2014/08/usa-auto-sales-rankings-by-make-model-july-2014-ytd-sales-figures.html for information of all brands. Edit: I agree with your analyses on the Mazda6 and the Mazda3. While being smaller than the Mazda6, the Mazda3 is much sportier. For me, the Mazda was the best combination of efficiency, sportiness, luxury, and cargo carrying ability of all the cars I looked at. It won my my heart. Congrats on your choice. It seems the best for what you were looking for.

Happy Birthday, Wayne! :prettyprincess: Hope it's nice and relaxing after your long trip.

Happy Birthday, Steve! :prettyprincess: Keep them coming!

First figure out what car, trim and options you want, then get an internet price via something like edmunds.com. Next either buy that deal or take it to the dealer of choice for matching. Lastly, say "no" to all the extras that they try to sell you at the end. It also helps to shop near the end of the month when they are desperate to make quotas.

Happy Birthday, Jim! :prettyprincess: Hope that you are having a great one.

Congrats Chris and Chris and huge congrats to you, Ian.

Happy Birthday, Andrew! :prettyprincess: Glad you're having a nice one.

Happy Birthday, Deepak! :prettyprincess: Hope it's been a great one.

Happy Birthday! :prettyprincess:

RIP Jaws! Just a slight correction. His name is Richard Kiel. This made me google Roger Moore. He is 86. I didn't think he was that old. So I checked on Sean Connery and he's 84. I would have never guessed that Connery's replacement was older than he was.

You mean CraigBuckingham isn't NwAvGuy? I thought for sure that he was.

I thought that the pancakes were the sides.

Looks good, Birgir. Instead of using 4 3-pin connectors for input and output, wouldn't it be easier (and maybe cleaner) to use 2 4-pin connectors?

RIP Boyfriend.

Happy Birthday, Jack. :prettyprincess: Hope it was a great one!

Ric, my condolences to you and your family. RIP Miko. Good kitty.

I'll bet that it's almost as good as the Premium Bose system that came with the trim level I chose for my Mazda. I think that this is the only Bose equipment I've ever bought. I sure hope so.

Is Russian River closed? Oh, the horror.
