Hope you have a great day, Ian, and hope you and family are all well!!

Once again this year I'm prepping to ride a century in support of the Kelly Brush Foundation. Between indoor Zwifting, the MTB, and multiple road bikes I've been pounding (or is it prancing?) on the pedals this year. I've amassed some 2,600+ training miles already with a goal of getting as close to 3,000 before the event as possible. This year marks a return to the in-person ride up in VT, with friends mostly coming from near by to do this as a group as safely as possible. For me this is the 10th century that I've done in support of either Northeast Passage or Kelly Brush and I'm looking forward to enjoying it. A bit about KBF - they are a non-profit organizatio…

Have a fantastic day Todd!

Boy oh boy, what a skin this is. It's dark but way cool. I am useing Helios_Multi. And beyond that even, once it is setup you can go to the top of it and change the color highlights, boarders ect. I am in the Red Gray and Black mode. The gray block on the end is really a chrome like silver blue. I will do that next. Yellow was a chrome like gold and cool. The red I am useing is a deep red which looks like gloss paint clear coated.

Happy Birthday, man.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

The homepage said today was your birthday, but I don't believe it. If it were your birthday, you wouldn't gotten a bike for your birthday, but I didn't see Mindless Consumerism or the Bike Thread updated, so what's the deal? On the off chance it is your birthday, hope you had a good one. If it isn't, well, you're a mod, delete it! **BRENT**

Hope you're having a great one Ben! Cheers!

Hey everyone, For those who don't know, Kristen (kids' mom) has worked at Seattle Humane since it opened its new facility about 2 years ago. They've been largely closed to the public and have had most of their animals in foster care during COVID, but their situation is starting to change and they're now able to take in some more surgeries/surrenders and start helping animals and families in this area again. I've gotten to hear some of the amazing work they've been able to accomplish with keeping/placing/helping out, and I'm pretty happy to be a part of it. We've fostered multiple special needs dogs, and even adopted a mostly-deaf and mostly-blind miniature poodle we fe…

That's a milestone for sure. Welcome to the club!

Bad news, last month my employer lost the contract to import Siltech cables from Holland. Since that was all that we did I was sort of out of a job. Good news! I am moving to Pennsylvania and forming a new company (Until the incorporation is completed I won?t release the name). So instead of being an employee of the importer of Siltech cables I will be the new importer of Siltech cables. Same job, only now I can?t complain about my boss. The short-term bad news is that I am trying to start a new company, find a location for the company, find a place to live, and move from Boston all within a few short weeks. Busy doesn?t adequately describe this month.

From avsforum.com: This is a pretty major outage and losing a weeks worth of posts has to suck. I wish them well getting things back up.

For those of you that are familiar with the area, I would love to hear some feedback. The wife and I are looking to go to San Diego for a little trip in the summer during break. A couple of days, nothing crazy. My wife loves the beach and is a stickler for staying in a "clean" area, whatever that means:palm: I was thinking Mission Bay area. Thanks for any thoughts you can share.

Happy birthday, Nate. Hope it's a good one.

Happy birthday to you. Hope life is treating you well.

Have the merriest day

Not a political endorsement or argument by me in any manner, just pointing out something interesting. I've just read through an great essay by my favorite author, David Foster Wallace. He's a post-modern type who's written lots of short stories, non-fiction, and one totally over the top novel called Infinite Jest. His main skill is bogging his literature down with meaningless details only to hit you with simple but seemingly revalatory facts (probably only revalatory based on the general mediocrity of what came before.) Despite that, I still love reading anything he writes. Guess I like the pain . So in 2000, Rolling Stone contacted him to join a media tour for a ca…

I'm in my friends wedding at battery park this weekend. in Memphis airport right now with the GF. we have the rehearsal tonight, and the wedding tomorrow, but we'll have a smattering of free time this afternoon and tomorrow before 5:30. any recommendations for things to do/places for breakfast or lunch, especially in the general area of the Millenium Hilton @ 55 Church St, would be appreciated. thanks!

Happy Birthday David 909

Have a great one Steve! I'm only a few months behind you to 49. Tell me how it is sometime! Cheers!

May your day be filled with several of your favourite things!

Hope the day is as joyous as the Holiday!!

Have the best day!

Happy birthday to you, Jeff!

Since at work this is the last place I can sneak into, post here with any interesting stuff going on in the other forum - copy and paste posts, or summarize an interesting development or news or something. Toss me a bone! Just don't link there 'cause I can't use it! That way I hit the ground running when I get home, and keep sane at work. "Hi guys I'm back from work! I hear that Grado decided to name his new cans JAHN-1000, that's cool! What, they aren't? CURSE YOU, MJG!"
