OMG. I do that all the time. Don't tell her.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! Hee hee!

I'm also a forum junkie when Mr. Fish goes out of town. What better thing is there to do???

Nanci - only 4 more days. Just think of how much quality time you're getting with the critters and us here on TE

I did look at her link to the tour of PHX and according to that her speed was 18.3 mph for a 26 mile ride.

...

This was a 26 mile ride!! WTF?

This sarcastic thought just came to me....Uhhhhh ..... maybe her bike computer is off and is reading artificially high when she rides at home. Now that would be ...well... amusing.

Yeah, maybe it is set for the wrong size tires. PP's computer on her small road bike seems to still be calibrated for normal sized tires. I can't break it to her that her ride length, pace, etc. is not what's shown. Need to find out how the heck to reset the thing!!

Crappola. Flat tire tonight. MP, when is Mr MP coming back up for the TT. Ramped it up just right and was starting to fly when fffffffft.

Crap.

I told you I was going to bed. Oh, man, did I have some wierd dreams. Very strange. Can't even say what was happening, but I know my grandparents (who are dead) were there, and I was sort of hiding in the wilderness, and being in both worlds, of the currently and formerly living... and I was on call. Which is a drag when you're communing with the dearly beloved yet long departed.

OK, only 11 hr, 52 min to go on this call shift.

Do you think it's bad to eat a lot of salmon in one week? I made salmon salad from canned salmon, then bought this big piece of "wild Alaskan" salmon on sale, broiled it, realized it's 5 meals' worth for me...maybe I should freeze two of the cooked pieces. I mean the heavy metals etc issue.

SK, sorry about your flat.

I can't believe that I'm not hearing more fireworks around here tonight. Probably because it's kind of chilly. Thank heavens.

Brina, thanks for the explanation about G-d. I thought it was a prohibition against writing the name, not against erasing it.

Going to read a bit and go back to bed, hope the pregnant ladies let me get a couple more hours of sleep.

I'm sure you've thought of this (I have a tendency to state the obvious - I'm working on this) ...do a hard reset on it and then set everything again. That's what I did when I switched my computer from my hybrid to the roadbike. I couldn't figure out any other way.

[DrBee]

Ah ha - she's awake. I knew you couldn't stay away for long. That sounds like a seriously weird dream.

I would freeze some a couple of servings of the salmon. I asked Mr. Fish (who has one of his degrees in fisheries oddly enough) and he said that if you suddenly have the desire to swim upstream and spawn (errr uhhh you know what I mean, recreationally) that you might start to get worried. They only spawn once then go belly up. Gill slits, scales, or tail/fin formation could also be an indicator

[DrBee]

Pie was good. Heading to bed. Good night all! Talk with you in the AM.

[Lise]

uh, yeah, I am just psyched that I actually fell asleep and stayed asleep for a few hours. I have one heck of a time turning off the mind when I am on call. Sleeping is not my forte.

OK, then I'll freeze some of the salmon just so as not to get sick of such tasty fish. I am generally up for recreational spawning, but am far too selective to be a fish. As it were. L.

That saddle is su-weeete!!

Just had to say it. Full review later.

[KnottedYet]

Went to look at pretty dream bikes. Mmmmm. Need more money.

bought a water bottle.

One of those polycarbonate-whatevers like a Nalgene. Pretty cool. I've been assured that it won't grow cooties like the soft sqeezy bottles. (and it's sold by Soma, who makes the bike I want, so it's one step closer to glory... right?)

I really have to go to bed. I forgot to pay my rent, so will have a fine to pay. Sheeeeeee-oooot. Hard to sleep when you know you just blew bike-money on a late rent fee.

[salsabike]

It was a great post, actually. As were the other responses to that poster (who was also quite unpleasant in the thin=unhealthy? thread).

We Seattle types will stand you all some lattes (or whatever you like) any time you get out to this area!

Song currently rolling around in my head for no apparent reason: The Beatles' "You're Gonna Lose That Girl".

The Magnuson quote was perfect.

I just got done with the doctor, and I had to dip my toe into the ring of fire that is the "speed" post. I'll tell you, the Tour of PHX or the one I race have nothing that we'd call a hill. Sure, there are hills around PHX, but asking people to strive in their everyday rides for a MPH based on what is probably a pretty flat race is pretty silly.

I hope my post came off okay. I wasn't trying to be boastful about my own time - just to call her on her facts.

MP,
I just got a mountain bike so I think the flume trail and Mr. Toads might still be a bit advanced. I was planning on going to Sports LTD and asking what they recommended. I will look for when I am there and report back here when I am back. Now for the very long drive. Jones

[Nanci]

Boy did I sleep well!! I am riding my bike tonight- riding to where my group, the Strays, meets, then riding back toward home, then abandoning them and going home. (That way I don't have to drive!) Actually I'll be riding with the pres and VP of the cycling club. They like to go slow. :-)

I never read thin=unhealthy. Just a few posts at the beginning, but didin't get into it. (Since it's obviously osmething I will never have to worry about again!)

I have a code for 10% off at performance- 6001707 good till August 4th. I need some more Friction Zone!

I couldn't make it even halfway through Twin Peaks ep 4. I poured out the disgusting Shiraz.

This is the baby docs' first day...The girl one already grabbed me in the hall and said "Teach me all you know!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And all our inpatient medical peds are moving to another branch of our hospital, so the techs from there, who have never done peds, are coming today and tomorrow to learn.

And my new student would rather sit and read a book (fiction not school) than stock or even clean up!!
