I was supposed to feel up Maizey tonight to see if I thought she might have eggs. No official gender yet. She's to try a rat pinkie Friday night, live...

Torts are good. Buttercup just disappeared on me, causing a minor heart attack, while I was testing the newly-arrived Terry Zero X, less-padded 2005 model, in my PJs. Yes, out on the road...

First impression- it's harder than a frickin' rock!! MP, you must have an older one...How do you stand it? It's like a Brooks! Ok, whoever said that you can tell the perfect saddle when you sit on it and it "disappears" was a freaking genius. The Blackwell Flow- you sit on it, it's cushy and nice, but after 40 miles or so,...I don't know, just not so comfortable. Cut out is nice. Vitesse, the current and historical fav, I sit on it, it disappears. After 250 miles or so, it reappears. But do they all??? Terry Zero X 2005- immediate pressure on all pelvic bones. Sit bones, ok, I can deal with that. The more forward part of the ischiums- um, I don't think I should be feeling pressure there. Cut-out- nice, girly bits are happy. I don't know...Why am I even cheating on Vitesse, after many happy years together??? I am turning into a man. I will take Zero X 2005 on a couple rides to be sure. So should I try the 2006??? I can't afford to test them side-by-side. The styling is beautiful. It weighs nothing. It's just ever so slightly more narrow than the Vitesse. It's hard to mount on my seat post, though, the rails are very close together. It wants to be nose down- I want it slightly nose up. We compromised with level...for now. Why does it have to be so difficult? You buy a set of tires, even if you don't especially love them, they are all right till the next set. Same with a seat post. Same with wheels. I guess it deserves a fair test with bike shorts, not PJs...

Rose Temperanillo- surprisingly dry and very acidic. Tastes like tomatoes, apples, grassy, oniony, maybe very sour grapefruit. I like it. I almost really like it.

Dill is fine. Milly is losing all his feathers, it seems like. I love my Dyson, that's all I can say.

CWR- just don't ever try a stroopwafel. It's like crack. All I do all day is think about them, and try to resist. That's what I'm doing right now. Holy cr*p- I wonder how they compare to the, what are those cookies that everyone is always going on about from Australia...TimTams. I would sell my child for her weight in stroopwafels.

Um, that wasn't the end of my drift, but stroopwafels threw me off.

stroopwafels and timtams all these funny names.

must admit the stroopwafels do look like they could be addicting. are they crunchy?

tim tams i looked those up, are they chewy? seems to be addicting also.

with no sunshine for 2 months all i'm doing right now is craving sweets, not good.

no, not very crunchy. nice cookie texture with that delish carmel in between the two layers. really nice way to eat them is with a cup of coffe. pour a piping hot cup of coffee, then balance the cookie over the cup. the steam from the coffee melts the carmel. mmmmmmm

What's a Tort?? I have a tortoiseshell cat. is that what it is?

are there ANY saddles that you can't feel after 250 miles? come on, you need NOVACAINE for that.

Thank you, Nanci--you made me snorfel into my water ONCE AGAIN.

KY and Fish and others, my mom is having a rough go. Will spare you guys the details, but it's pretty dicey right now. I've been here two weeks. Will go home to Seattle just for the weekend while my sister from Georgia comes up, and then will come back Monday until things settle down. And WHAT TREAT DO I HAVE IN SEATTLE THIS WEEKEND? Well, yeah, we'll go for a long tandem ride on Sunday, sure. But Saturday morning we are meeting with our contractor to discuss the possibility of terminating our contract with him, not because he doesn't do good work but because we are at the bottom of his priority list and weeks are going by while his crews are elsewhere. I think he's just plain overcommitted. So how fun will that be? I'm in the Stress Bowl-a-rama of Life here just at the moment, and if anyone knows the directions to the nearest supersized vat of valium, kindly send those along.

In the meantime, you guys DO look at the Peeps Research website, I hope? This is my favorite, since it has value for future NASA activity and all: http://www.peepresearch.org/vacuum.html
