This would never happen on Postjack's forum. Happy birthday!

This.

This. Chimneys can be fixed.

I think this Thursday could work but I'm pretty flexible after Tuesday night week. Nights are definitely best.

Awesome!

That is pretty incredible. I looked at it this morning and it was a little over $300 at the time.

I spent some time working on the Calfee last night, specifically changing out the existing cassette (11-25) for an 11-28 to hopefully provide a little relief on the hills that I'll be facing in two weeks. I really wanted to give it a good shakedown ride to work today but sadly it was raining pretty hard when I got up at 5:45 so I bailed. Hopefully the weekend will provide an opportunity to get out for a bit.

This. Rest in peace, Matt.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean about one chance to get it right? My CO2 inflator has a trigger so you can meter out how much you put in and after filling one of my road bike tires there is certainly a lot of capacity left in the catridge. MTB might be a different story with larger volume but that comes at substantially lower pressure. Even pumping a road bike tire up with a small hand pump is no fun in my book.

I think this is the best advice. Pick up some cheap POS off CL or something like that and let the iPhone sit till you get back. As Marc said there's not guarantee the rice is going to work regardless of how long it sits for. I'd also plan for the phone's useful life to be severely shortened even if it does come back after the rice treatment. I wonder how much Gazelle will give you for a water-triggered 5?

My vote is 2 as far as # of keepers is concerned. 3 sounds like a lot and limits turnover year to year. Draft date doesn't matter a whole lot to me. I'm guessing we won't start before 8pm EST if not later which is better since I have to get kiddos to bed.

Epic win.

A very happy birthday to Penelope's dad.

Ouch, Marshall.

That's dedication, Holmes.

The guidance staff goes back a week before the teachers, who go back back a week before the kids.

Feel better, Brent. Me - stayed home with Lily since Maura had to go back to work this week. We took Andrew out for breakfast before dropping him off at school and will be packing for a picnic lunch at the ocean shortly.

Auction makes it tough for those of us with precious little time to dedicate to draft research and potentially not being able to attend the draft at all. I had no issues with the scoring format last year. I had issues scoring, but hardly think it was the fault of the format...

Sorry for your loss, Wayne. RIP to far too many lately.

Nice. I did the trip to work and back again today (41) which puts me near 160 for the week. I'm shagged.

Colin, You might try riding it as-is for a little while to see if you can adjust some. When I first started riding the Calfee it felt way too long but through a combination of riding it more and making some fit adjustments I've got it pretty comfy.

You know my thoughts on this, Ian, but you gave her the best life that I can imagine she ever would have gotten. It would have been wonderful if there had been more time, but such is the nature of these things in that I'm not sure we ever get as much as we would have liked to have.

I decided to kick my own ass yesterday. 76 miles, 4300ft of climbing including a half mile long section at +10% right in the middle of the ride. I did a bad job hydrating and consequently ended up cramping badly for the last 11 miles. Still managed the whole trip at a bit over 16mph which is a lot slower than I'd hoped but by the end I was just happy to survive.

Day late, but Happy Birthday nonetheless!

All of this.
