Thread Drift

[AuntieK]

We saw a team car for Team-Will.org from California with a big sign on the back that said "bikes ahead" on I40. Anybody know them?

I just had to jump on this thread to say, "WOW!" because I saw the team car traveling down I-15 in Utah a week or two back. Hadn't really thought much about it 'til I saw this thread. I'll have to watch the website for progress now.

I'm sorry, you can not just jump in like that. We only allow the discussion of birds, chocolate and Lises dates on thread Drift

I saw some great birds on my cameraless ride today. A huge flock of cattle egrets, a sandhill crane, an ibis, some dark heron.

There aren't any mosquitos here because it hasn't rained. When I am sitting out at night, there are gnats. On some rides, more to the south, I've been bothered by deer flies if I stop. Not too bad right now. I'd rather have rain and mosquitos than none.

Aaaahhhh - the day is almost over. The kids just got out of the pool (we went to the BBQ instead of pool this morning). The little one is passed out on the bed. The not-as-little one is changing clothes. We're headed out to dinner with the other family. I've had a lot more fun on this trip than I thought I would. Made new friends and eaten a lot of good food. Too much perhaps. At least they're not jumping on the beds anymore. I think they're worn out It made me smile to hear that y'all would've been going crazy, too.

AuntieK - cool that you saw the team, too. They're finishing up in the next day or two. They've raised something like $47,000! Wow! They're ending up in VA - I know we have people from there on here.

Here's my chocolate discussion requirement - had some good brownies today

Off to dinner - talk to y'all later tonight!

[DrBee]

Oh yeah - Nanci we have mosquitos every month of the year. Drought or not. We're surrounded by rice fields

They also talk a lot about wine. I just whine. I say, jump on in, especially if you've got a really nice, pretty well educated, currently unmarried, >5'9", employed, reasonably active guy friend who's not intimidated by a woman who is pretty smart and likes to ride her bike really fast.... Even if you don't! Thread drift is open to all comers. It would be a good idea to arrive with chocolate...

I ate a lousy brownie today--I made these brownies around Christmas and froze the leftovers. 6 months later, I found them. Microwaved one for 10 seconds and ate it. That was not tasty. The things I'll do for chocolate.

Photo guy is being very polite and friendly, but not taking up my hints that I'd like to see him again, so his status is now "in the wind", alas. and the beat goes on...

I'm at work, one lady laboring away, another lady on her way in, so I hope to have at least one birth before my shift ends. I plan to bike down to the lake tomorrow evening for a seminar on the beach. about wetsuits and open water swims. Should be fun.

Dear Trek,

If yer workin', how come yer on TE?

I wish my work was like that....

Still have no chocolate, no wine, no birds, and no guys. (can I substitute "gorgeous hotties" for "guys" in that order? and can I supersize that?)

going out grocery shopping in a bit. Can remedy the first 3 with enough $$. Have no idea what to make for dinner. Maybe just nachos.

oh no you don't

I am going to have to ride a loooonnnnggggg time when I get back. I've eaten way too much food over the past 2 days. We've had pizza 3 nights in a row. 1st night - gourmet pizza....2nd night Papa Johns ...tonight - something in between. Then I had Marble Slab ice cream (chocolate mint with almonds - yummmmmmmm). I feel like such a glut. Tomorrow I sit in the car the whole day. I won't get to ride until Tuesday. I think I'm not eating much tomorrow.

Lise - that's too bad about photo guy. Maybe he's just dense. Either way - maybe there'll be a perfect guy sitting next to you at the seminar.

Trek - what's your job again?

Big kid - passed out on the bed. Little one - still moving around.

Just got home from seeing Bonnie Rait and Keb'Mo - man they rock. Hard to believe their ages. Apparently, if rock n roll doesn't kill you young it keeps you young. They were serving some nice wine and the concert and it is such a beautiful evening that we had the top down for the ride there and home. All in all a perfect evening.

Lise, sorry photo guy is being a dolt.

fish, why is that they never manage to pass out at the same time? a question that has haunted parents since the beginning of time.

well, better get off to bed, I am meeting a friend to ride at 7 am.

Went to the farmers market today - as usual, I bought too much. Oranges, apricots, teeny little japanese eggplant, summer squash. A wonderful gazpacho, a nice salmon filet and some tilapia filets. Guess I'm cooking dinner almost everyday this week. Oh I forgot - the tricolored bag of little potatos - yukon golds, reds, and purple!

Now to decide....salmon or tilapia tonight?

[KnottedYet]

WHIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE

I'm stuck in bed again. Dang cold! Can hardly breathe, can't stop coughing, nose is a mess.

I need to go for another bike ride!

My bike is calling to me.... "ride... let's ride.... nice day... you don't need to breathe... just ride"

or maybe it's just hypoxic hallucinations

Ooooh salmon! Have that first, tilapia will keep better and the salmon will be awsome while it's fresher...you!!
