It's my day off, it's going to be 60 degrees, and I have a cold!!! :mad:
I have to miss my first group ride of the season, which conveniently is starting right by my house.
Oh well. It's an excuse to miss class tonight. I have to get better for tomorrow night. It's restaurant week and we are going to my favorite place in the North End.
I'm happy to report having had an idea "stolen". Remember when I proposed a bike ride "To H€ll and Back", or maybe it was "H€ll on Wheels"? Well, I mentioned the idea to a neighbor (the guy who invented "Trampe" [Stomper] the bike lift: http://www.trampe.no/english/), who mentioned it to the local chapter of the national bike club ... and next weekend they're gonna do it :D http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=327417146729 The head of the chapter sent me a special invitation to join, but it's still snowing out, too cold for me to ride. No way I'll be in shape for this by next weekend. It's 26 miles each way, and some serious hills :eek: Still ... if the sun is shining, if it's warmed up by that day, if my guts are in a good mood, then maybe, just maybe I'll tag along as "pigtail". After all, I can always cross-train the hills, and I can catch a train back.
Hi all, I've signed up for a charity ride and put a link to my fundraising page in my signature. If I want the link to say something like "my fundraising page" instead of the literal url, how do I do that?
No dumb questions.Quote:

Then select that text and click on the WWW link icon above the text box (the one that looks like a globe and two links of chain).
Insert the URL in the box that pops up and click OK.
If you want to be sure of it, click Preview Signature and try the link from the preview pane to make sure it works.
I hate photoshop, scales (map) and computers..Thank goodness for smart architecture students in the computer/plotter lab...
It looks like i'll now be riding a red Titus..but not sure when..Interesting developments on that end :rolleyes: Gotta love distributors...
Thanks, Oakleaf!
It is snowing heavily and gusting 40 mph winds. This is really sapping my motivation today. To do anything.

Edit: this morning I was motivated to go out and buy a Kurt Kinetic Road Machine.
Nby-I hate to tell you this but when i lived in Edmonton, we used to get snowstorms in July....:rolleyes:
Those were the days...:o
When DH got home tonight, I told him Christmas came early so I bought the trainer.
Christmas in July? No sweat. :cool:
Kills the vacation budget for this year, but I'm a proud owner of a new central air conditioner / gas heater system for my house. Had to replace the former system as it's been repaired to the extent of it's life span. In this part of the muggy deep south, and the architecture of my house (ranch, not high ceilings), one just doesn't do without air conditioning :rolleyes:.
So now all I need is new patio furniture, an icy drink, and the vacation will be at my house! :cool:
Enjoy the air con! I guess down in the swampy south you need it!
Speaking of Evap air con...
There was a large industrial fire in a Perth locality this morning and I found something a bit off in one of the news reports I listened to. FESA (fire & emergency services Western Australia www.fesa.wa.gov.au) suggested that people in the area close all thier windows & turn off any evaporative air conditioning.
It's not summer, it just rained & we have nice cool temps...why would you have your evap air con on??? Why would they mention the air con at this time of year?
Odd..very odd...:confused::rolleyes: I had to laugh...
