Ina word, insanity.

Samsung GS3 phone, Gene. It does very well outdoors. It was taken at mile 14, in North Hampton on 1A, where I stopped for a snack.

Got up this morning, looked at the weather and saw a big green blob about 5 miles from the house. What the heck. So I rode in in the rain, which was actually quite nice since it was 70+ out. Made good time and it felt damn good to be back on the bike. So much so that I decided to take the long way home down the coast and get 30 in. That decision had mixed results. The scenery was excellent, the 15mph headwind not so much.

Happy Birthday Ben!

If you had more lead time I'd send you a pair of the Radioshack cans to use but I don't think I could reliably get them there in time.

Radio shack used to carry some that were small and intentionally inefficient to limt volume exposure. I used a pair with my niece and nephew with good results. It'll all depend on rhe kid if they stay on their head. And Reks, WTF man?

x^4 - you have dropped some serious weight!

This!

Good luck Jeff. Drink more than you think you need to and have fun.

The twonky issue resolved itself but it still won't see my other NAS drive, which is pretty annoying.

I would love to have a dead flat, 20 mile stretch of road to ride to see what I could cook up for an average speed but there's nothing even close to that around here. My fastest solo ride (about 30km) is just a tick over 20mph but includes multiple stop signs, stop lights, intersections that I have to slow for, etc. I do know that I wouldn't really want to push any harder than I did on that ride. I almost never get to ride in a group or even with a partner so I have no clue what sort of speed I might be able to push in a group setting. One of these days I'll tag onto the local shop ride and see how fast I get dropped.

The mini ruck would probably work just fine, Dinny.

Happy Birthday Miguel!

I would think that the side pockets would handle the bottles just fine. I'm not positive about the center taking a 13" MBP but I'd take Gene up on the loaner. I love my mini Ruck and use it everyday and haven't ever really wished I'd bought the bigger one.

Eh hem. Real backpacks represent.

Sounds uncomfortable Ken, glad you're ok.

Don't forget the one on loan.

Have Colin make a run to the corporate store for you, Jeff.

I think they'd look great in a Cmoy.

Shelly, somehow my BP remained pretty reasonable despite normally being on the high side. The worst it got was around 150/90 and once I got comfortable was back down in the 130s. And yes, they prescribed Flomax, hopefully that allows the stone to pass more easily although there's limited (if no) science behind that. Looks like you had a nice walk in the park, the weather here today is gorgeous so I'm hoping to get outside for a little while since I've been pain free for about 12hrs. Their opinion was that anything up to 6mm should pass on its own. I don't know that I support that assumption but we'll see what happens over the next day or so.

Cheers, although today I'm limited to water it's the thought that counts.

From 4:30 to about 9am this morning was by far the most painful experience of my life, I hope that it stays that way and that the rest of the trip out is nowhere near as bad.

Spent the morning in the ER - today's lesson kids, kidney stones suck. Back home now in semi-comfort but until the 4.5mm stone passes life isn't going to be much fun.

Nice to hear the glasses are working well, Jeff. I plan to pick up a pair soon as the Zeros, while offering excellent unobstructed vision, do not deflect enough wind - for my eyes anyway. The weather broke this afternoon for a few hours which meant spreading mulch. I may get up at the crack of dawn tomorrow and try to get a ride in before the holiday nonsense sets in. It was a stressful week and I could use the distraction/release.
