Hi gang! Me again.

The dinnerware is up on my site - see link above (same as remodel stuff).

Be gentle... I did this stuff as therapy

It's good spazz! Nice sense of color.

[CorsairMac]

wow spazz - I Love the dishes! You should consider going into that professionally! Awesome sense of colour and design! Kudos to you hun!

[spazzdog]

Thanks Corsair!

I've done several large platters for gifts... very abstract.

Thought about doing some custom order stuff... but I do stick to the kind of "southwestern primative" or "abstract" styles.

If you or anybody else is interested email me off-list and we can discuss.

Spazz, if you're not marketing that stuff, you should be! It's beautiful! The gecko spoke to me, I swear.

[spazzdog]

thanks eg!

I might could be corn-vinced to do a commissioned piece. email me off-list to discuss... to anybody else the same applies.

I like the turtles. They remind me of Hawaii.

I've wanted to post here several times but the posts just didn't seem right enough until now! Well or rather last Wed when the site was down! I started riding right after Labor Day as a commuter biker and last Wed night my cyclometer rolled over 1000 miles. I was about a mile from home and saw that I only had 3 miles to go to roll over so even with rain and 8 mph head winds - I tooled around the neighbourhood until that sweet little number rolled over on my screen! I wanted to do the TdF double arm pump, I wanted to scream, I wanted to just keep right on riding rain, wind, no food so what! But instead I came home and very proudly recorded my miles in my journal! It was Such a day!

1000 mile! This calls for a special message.


Chapeaux CorsaiMac!! as they say in France.

This literally translates as ' Hats Off '. Used loads in the French world of cycling as an all round Bravo!

OR....

Complimenti ..

...as they say in Italy. Means the same thing but more conversational. Used to congratulate someone or compliment their quality as a rider.

Congratulations, Corsair !!!!
You must have had one HUGE smile on your face when you finished that
ride! Just an awesome milestone number of miles.
And it only keeps on getting better.............

Way to go Corsair! I just might have to build a snowgrrl in your honor

[CorsairMac]

Thought I'da revive this coz I was sooo stoked today and had to share it with my cycling friends!

So I'm climbing the last big (icky) hill to come back to work and I decided to watch the inclines. As I start the climb I keep gearing down until I ran outta gears. I even looked back and sure enough the chain was on the biggest gear I had in the back!. So I just sucked it up and watched the inclinometer. The grade was 6% for the most part with one section of 7% and the last climb at 8%. oh...and 19 mph crosswinds. (total gain of 357') Whew.....am I glad That's over with. As I turn for the final long flat stretch to work I reach over to shift to the big chainring in front and OMG???!!!! I just climbed that bugger of a hill IN the BIG Chainring!! Man did that change my whole persceptive about that hill!!

[spazzdog]

GOooooooooo Corsair, you animal you!

Hey gang!

Come on grrls... drive that hit counter up! And please leave me a note in the guestbook. Sign with your TE name so's I know who you are

It's lots of photos, so you dial up folks beware.

p.s. If anyone else would like their ride photos (from any organized ride) put up, send them off-line. I'm not labeling with "real" names, just TE names so your privacy is safe. Include your TE handle and the name/date of the ride in your email.
