What's the weather in Vegas in January/February?

About 60 degrees, according to weather.com. March/April average 70-80 degrees.

Ho's are good.

So I spent today stripping my old bike from when I was 10 down to the frame. My god it weighed a ton. I almost dropped it on my parents car as I took it off the ceiling hooks in their garage. Not much to salvage, other than a nice steel frame, fork and chrome handlebars. I'm going to leave the tape off so they're nice and old school. The bike is from like 1984 or something ridiculous. The frame is a bit small, but with a raised seatpost I'll be fine. Going to make it a fixed gear for my winter commuter. It's a freakin' Columbia bike. I had to google them to figure out who they were: http://www.columbiabikes.com/detpages/10009.html

Currently I think I'm high from paint fumes. It'll be a rough morning

Beta, you're not really going to ride with an untaped bar are you? That might be dangerous. I don't recall untaped bars as ever being a fad or "old school" or used by anyone who cared about their bike or their safety. And I'm a lot older than you.

I just got off of the phone with my mother, who surprised the heck out of herself by following my dad to the beach on her hybrid (about 18 miles.) I'm very proud of her!

She's having saddle and shorts issues (sound familiar?) We've covered what she hates about her saddle, but when I asked her what she didn't like about her shorts and chamois, and she said very hopefully, "there are other kinds??"

She's going to get bike clothes for her birthday! I'm such a helpful daughter. Any excuse to buy bike clothes...

Here's a picture of me with my niece, Maya, at Kiddieland last night. She is fearless!

I think we'd need Harry Connick, Jr. for serenading purposes.

I approve of just about anything involving umbrella drinks.

The stuff we got at the Ferry Building yesterday - absolutely yummy.

Don't tell Lee, he might get jealous, he luuuves hot dogs.

Had dinner at Cattlemen's tonight. Best durn ribeye I've had in ages, with deep fried onions and mashed potatoes (into which I mixed in a bit of blue cheese dressing).

Ahhhhh. transcendent.

But my doctor would slap me. My cholesterol came back on the high side from my recent blood test - 218. oops. But at least my "good" (HDL) cholesterol came well on the high side - yay for salmon and omega-3/fish oil supplements.
