Lise, glad to hear the date went so well! Do you know what Loctite is? It's this liquid that you put on screws (get the removeable strength) so they stay put until you unscrew them. I haven't put it on my cleats, but others do. I used it on my underwater DPV though. (dive propulsion vehicle)

If you lose a screw on a ride, the screws that hold the bottle cage will work until you get a replacement.

fishdr- you think like I do! If I do such-and-such, then I get X piece of bike stuff that I really want! Good luck with the clipless!

You know what I've noticed about shiny fabric? It makes fat rolls stand out. Matte fabric, like the Shebeast tanks, (and especially in prints!) lets you get away with anything.

I'm at work today- OT- will cover the speeding ticket, though it was planned for a new saddle and/or hotel for the next 200k July 1st...Oh well, I'm working next Sunday, too.

I have my SS gift all wrapped and ready to go, now all I need is a box! I'm sure she will forgive me when she gets it, though. I am relieved that we haven't been reading posts about who got what. I ought to be working on July now, before they even match us!!
