Tomorrow is the first anniversary of my first Century!

Happy Anniversary!! I find that absolutely amazing. One year after your first century and you'll get your R12 and have done a whole brevet series complete with 600k. Next year RAAM!!

Fish - glad the house, dog and child are well. And of course you're keeping your name - I wouldn't expect anything else from yoU!!!

BMo3 - a moose and a duck! Ha! That's great! CWR - where do you find all these amzing photos and liks? Very cool! I don't think I mentioned it, but those photos you posted on the other thread from your home were AMAZING!!

Lise - poor J headboard - but that is just so cute that you're bringing him cookies!! All together now: "AAAAAAWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!"

Salsa - I am totally in on the shelter. If we wait 14 or so years, we can even use the PP as our vet!! (I've got my fingers crossed on that one, trying to guide her there somewhat gently because I can just see it's what she'd want. No I'm not an overbearing, calculating mom! Anyway, SK, maybe you can keep an eye on her while she's in school because I think she wants to go to Davis. They do have a great vet school.)

For those of us who've never seen the film, can ye explain?

from wikipedia:
Bill S. Preston, Esq. (Alex Winter) and Ted "Theodore" Logan (Keanu Reeves), simply referred to as "Bill & Ted," are teenagers in San Dimas, California who are in danger of flunking out of high school. A guitar-playing guru named Rufus (Carlin) arrives from a future San Dimas to help them pass a vital history test, because their garage band ("Wyld Stallyns", pronounced "Wild Stallions") holds the key to world peace and ultimate truth. However, they will not achieve this destiny if the duo fail the exam and Ted's authoritarian father carries out his threat to ship him to Oats Military Academy in Alaska. Rufus lends them a time machine disguised as a phone booth, which they use to meet—and "collect"—various historical figures: Napoleon Bonaparte, Socrates (mistakenly pronounced "So-crates", and given the surname "Johnson"), Billy the Kid ("Mr. The Kid"), Sigmund Freud ("frood"), Beethoven ("Dave Beeth oven"), Genghis Khan (Bob Gangus Khan), Joan of Arc ("Miss of Arc", carried on in Clone High), and Abraham Lincoln, to help them with their vital history presentation.
The phone booth is in front of a Circle K( a convenience store chain(think 7-11). I always think of the movie. it's a cure movie and it's also a great ride. you go up into the Angeles National Forest, climbing besides a reservoir. You downhill a Little bit, and reach the end of the road a Ranger station. I usually take a break ( and occasionally ogle the Rangers ) before heading back. Great Day!
From the movie
Ted: Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K.

I am getting the biggest kick out of the "No Stank You" anti-smoking ads on tv!

Anybody else seen 'em? SKnot likes them, too.

[Xrayted]

Holy crow you ladies like to write!! Well, all I gotta say is>>>
I'm sorry to those who are having a bad time right now. My heart goes out to you. I'm happy for those of you who are having a good time now. For those who are in need of a deep meaningful relationship, may you find "the one". For those of you who just need laid, I hope ya get some. For those of you who can't get laid, go on ahead and have some chocolate!
Happy and safe riding ladies. (There, I think I got everyone. )

Wow, X-Rayted, well done. =)

I'm back to proliferating all over TD because my work week started again. Weekend's never long enough!

To welcome me back, we had a chem spill this afternoon. Marvelous. At least the guys know what they're doing.

Watch out, ladies, you fluff Knot's ego much more, she won't be able to fit her head in her helmet anymore! But to add to it, (mom never told me not to throw gas on flames...) she's got a really, quite graceful neck/shoulder line. Most worthy of a dedicated sketch artist or somesuch, and don't even start me on her personality!

Group hug everyone! Now lets eat our carob-chip whole, raw cookies sit sukhasana and sing Kumbaya And if anyone feels the love, pass it this way, man!

I want a deep meaningful relationship, to get laid, AND chocolate!

Only cuz you fixed that picture WHICH NO-ONE ELSE WILL EVER SEE ('cept maybe the next Ms. Knot). Ain't posting that one, cuz I caused enough trouble with my nekkid abs, imagine the world would stop spinning if all could gaze on the loveliness of my nekkid shoulders! (it was very tasteful, and actually once Kit photoshopped it, it was rather pretty)

But I ain't no Jessi Stensland! When I get shoulder/back like hers, you bet yer buns I'll be posting a pic of me holding Flossie over my head just like the nekkid pic of her with her bike over her head.

HA! AH! HAHAHAHAHA*snerk* HA*cough*HA!! Don't we all?! Can I say I want to have a deep, meaningful relationship with someone covered in chocolate? Can I say that?
That or a short, meaningful relationship with somone *made* of chocolate. If they get ****y or mouthy, I'll just bite their head off. As for l@id... um... hey, chocolate's good, right? Almost that good?

Shucks. I shoulda said "If you won't say anything, I won't." Besides, to say I "photoshopped" it greatly overstates the little I did. All the fundamentals are just there, I just tweaked the size and lighting, really.


As far as photoshop stuff goes, if SKnot has a mac, see if you can have him look into GIMP. Most of the fun and utility of Photoshop, with none of the $350 price tag (or the "need" to... yar... pirate it from Limewire, matey!) I think GIMP is open source (and free). I know it works with Linux, but since OSX is a form of Unix anyway... hey!
Start 'em young and interested...

[Xrayted]

Nope, nope. I agree with Kit and all the rest. Graceful line there. Now get out there and find someone who will understand how to appreciate it up close and personal. Unleash your true redhead, woman!

[Kitsune06]

uh-huh. And what is that true red-headed nature, Xrayted? A certain affinity for rich beers and richer women? Redheads! Ugh. Difficult! Freakin'[strike]hot[/strike] nothin' but trouble. Hmph. Redheads.

*dons her bandanna and whistles innocently*

[Xrayted]

Ah, but the good ones are worth it!

You guys should listen to Podcasts. You get all the NPR you want, _plus_ I just heard an interview with Jessie.

I laid a trap for my Patio Toad last night, and he is now in my possession. He's bunking down with Koko and Buttercup for now- they have no interest in having him for dinner.

Then, an hour into sleep, a friend called and said he'd caught a toad and what did I want him to do with it? I'll be picking up Number Two after the Century.

If Koko and Buttercup want to stay in their burrows all day, at least _someone_ will be out!

Choco shed, came out starving last night, ate _two_ servings of dinner, and then was annoyed that I made him go back to his viv. (They can't be handled for 48 hours after eating or they may regurgitate, which is very serious.)

I _tried_ to get Addy to eat- what a fiasco. All I had was a microscopic frog that a doc at work caught. I let it hop around the feeding container, then the _plan_ was to put Addy in, she would be hungry for the frog, and I would just switch her onto the thawed mouse pink when she had her "feeding response" going. Well, first of all, every time the frog hopped frantically past- she'd recoil in terror and spread her hood and hiss. If it would actually touch her she'd flinch like she'd been hit with acid. Second, it's impossible to hold a mouse in a tweezers. I need the proper equipment. I finally put Froggy back in his home and left her with no hope that she'd eat. She didn't. I'm going to try toad scenting in a couple days. I don't think she's nearly settled enough.

Looks like great weather for the Century- starting out at 70F, high of 82F, 20% chance of rain, 70% cloud cover, and a lovely 98% humidity, dropping to 50%. I'm starting an hour before the mass start- that way I get to see everyone pass me.

That's what I'm sayin'.

Bill and Ted. I loved that movie. Amazingly, I appear to remember NONE of it.

Nanci, I'm with everybody. You're an amazing rider in a short time.

I've had a lousy night. Two c-sections, two vaginal births, one lady ended up needing a hysterectomy! All babies are OK, all moms are stable. That's the goal, after all. So why in The Heck am I on TD at this hour? Decompressing? Going to nap now before doing paper work.

[Bikingmomof3]

Good grief. I don't even know how to respond. "Sorry to hear it, I'm doing great, dating a wonderful man, take care" ? I mean, the guy's not capable of being my "friend", so it sure sounds like he's checking out my availabilty, no? Wierd.

If you must respond to him, tell him to move on and have a nice life.

Poor J. called. They can't get his headboard in the door. I've made him chocolate chip cookies. MWBR.

OMG, how cute is this? You are baking him cookies.
