First med school acceptance. Fuckity fuck fuck yeah.

Hah! I finally got to be the first at something. It is officially your birthday day John, have a great one.............. I was not able to find any pictures of a Oswald Mills Birthday cake, or a JP Numbs birthday cake but Google found this for me. If you hate the picture blame Google not me.

Just get an iPad 4 Dinny. You have an iPhone 5 so you only need a mini if your head is as big as Brent's.

that and "don't give a shit" compared to other companies upgrade cycles is a bit nuts. Apple tends to upgrade slower. Sometimes the market forces their hand.

So Ian and I got back out to Fort Rock today for a little cold weather ride through the woods. Much fun was had with one exception. We saw a hunter on the trail actively hunting. Not cool. While I don't wear brown when I ride I don't (or didn't) wear blaze orange either. You have to understand, much of what we're riding here is within a mile of one major highway and several residential areas and major secondary roads. From where we saw the guy you could see traffic on the highway through the trees. WTF? Anyway, something bright and orange will be procured. Other than that the bike performed very well. If I hadn't had a minor off causing me to put a foot down in a puddle during mile one I'd have loved the whole day. As it was my foot was fairly frozen after the loop despite wringing my sock out before proceeding. We also tried a new section of trail called HIllzilla on the southern side of the loop. It was pretty freaken crazy. Much walking was done as there was no way I (or Ian) was going to try riding some of this stuff. We both agreed that a video of the loop needs to be taken at some point. We also agreed that next spring is going to be a lot of fun. Ride Data Screen cap from the short video that Ian shot of me acting like a 10yr old. The vid isn't that impressive but holy shit this section of the trail is a lot of fun. [edit]Wow, Raffy, those were some sweet bikes to take a spin on. Not sure I'd want to do that for the pain of knowing what could be.

Been traipsing up and down hills at the Austin Grand Prix. Sunburned but happily enjoying fast cars and good food and drink, mostly back in the Temple area where we are staying. And apologies to Fitz as I have not been able to connect with him due to the fact that we have both been basically wiped out after track activities so far.

Happy belated birthday Joanne!
