Bye Jonny.

Happy Birthday Iain!

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday, Peter!

You cooked??!?! What kind of dowdy kitchen man are you?

I'm afraid of the consequences of fucking it up. Seriously. That and I showed the recipe to Maura and she just looked at me.

Chili is in the crock pot, cornbread just came out of the oven.

I turned yesterday's leftover 45-day-aged top sirloin into breakfast.

Yeah, I knew it was a whore when I bought it, but at least it was a cheap whore (relatively speaking). I know what I want, I can't afford what I want. (Scott Genius)

Connection w/ Cannondale is gone - she was a clothing designer for them and they canned/outsourced the entire department 5 years ago. 2012 Cannondale Jekyll 3 - fork is a Fox Talas 32, rear shock is a Dyad RT2. Replacement options are insanely limited and expensive if replacement is required. Stupid non-standard fork diameter and pull shock for the rear. I looked at replacements and the fork alone for anything close to what's on there now is $600 to $1000. Rear shock appears to be $1000. Woof.

First estimate in, minimum $300 to service/upgrade the fork, not including shipping it to the nearest service center in NY. My mechanic also recommended servicing the rear shock, which is at least another $200. Plus I need a new chain, front sprocket, and cassette. All in, I'm probably looking at $700 + some labor to reassemble it, all to be riding pretty outdated tech. I don't like that math, but I'm not sure I dislike any more than $3k+ to replace it. #firstworldproblems

Condolences to you and your family, Craig. RIP Sue.

I may see how much my local guy would charge to do that - i couldn't tell you the last time it was serviced.

Ouch, Ken, sounds painful. Had a couple near crashes this morning but nothing serious thankfully.

Agreed.
