  1. Nice work Brent. I'd be in. Hope we can sort something out.
  2. I placed an order for an 800 in silver with 0.7mm lead on amazon. I figure I can return it if I don't like it. Will take a while to get it though.
  3. Considering the 800 in silver but as yet undecided. I don't really have a need but I am tempted. I barely take notes in the meetings I attend, not that I shouldn't start.
  4. I forgot that. Have a safe trip. Shop ride for me then . This incorrect line break crap in tapatalk is driving me nuts.
  5. Good job on the PRs Jeff. Want to do a long cruise on the W & OD tomorrow? 20 miles? That would total out to 46 or so for me. Dan's suggestion is a great one.
  6. Have a great ride Jeff. We are going south to the house for the day. Going to ride on Sunday.
  7. I have seen those but the non-retracting tip is a no-go for me. I've become too used to that now. You can just clip your pencil to your notebook and there is no maring on the page. Edit: I see the 800 has the retractable tip.... Interesting
  8. I have been using a Pentel Graphgear 1000 mechanical pencil (0.7mm, H or 2H) for the last 10 years or so. I love it because the retracting tip means you don't poke holes in stuff. The latest revision even fixed the issue with snapping clips that plagued the design. That said that Blackwing pencil looks pretty awesome....
  9. Congrats Shelly! Hope the last steps go smoothly.
  10. Yeah, you are right. Of course I can't ride daily though, I have way too many other commitments.
  11. You should learn to make stewed guava. It is one of the things I miss a lot from my carribean youth and I still love it whenever I'm home. Example recipe: http://its-our-life-for-six.blogspot.com/2009/11/guavasguavasand-more-guavas.html Though my family's recipe is slightly different in that we strain off the seeds.
  12. Finished up a 18+ mile lunchtime loop with the group that rides here at the base. Lots of climbing and hard. They do it everyday and are in much better shape than me. Was a lot of fun other than feeling guilty for holding them back.
  13. Nice rack Jeff. Those Kuat racks are beautiful. I half regret I didn't choose to do a rest on type rack for my civic but did a more standard hanging rack.
  14. Awesome ride! Looks like a lot of fun. Trying out riding during lunch hour with the riding group based at the lab I work at. Should be fun!
  15. Raffy just tried "there is no try". It was awesome! Edit: Ken, my apologies for the delayed concern but I am glad your niece is doing ok.
  16. Nice Nate! You're a beast! I can't even believe how powerful the pros are, they averaged 27+ mph for Paris-Roubaix.
  17. Jeff, I'm game-ish. Wakefield?
  18. Jeff you did great man. I've been where almost where you are. I've lost over 100lbs from my max and I've got a lot of miles in my legs over the years (not enough). I'm a no-drop person myself when riding with friends, it's not hard to make a workout out of basically anything.
  19. Awesome Ari! Great shot too!
  20. I don't know if any of you are into pro racing but tomorrow is Paris-Roubaix. The cobbled classics are the awesome. This is my favorite race of the year. Hope to do the cyclosportive before I die. Edit: it's on NBC sports! Awesome!
  21. Great day of hanging out with my wife and kid. Also got a bunch of stuff off my to do list. Now I am waiting to hopefully watch Michigan make it to the finals.
  22. Okay. We're on. Should be fun. 9:15. I will text/call if I am running late.
  23. Jeff it's not serious. I am referring to the loop with the climbing that we met up and did. Or we could do something different. There are lots of options.
  24. Nothing planned Jeff just mileage. I was planning on my usual shop ride but happy to roll out the trail and do that loop we did together. 9am meet up? I would dump your shop like a hot potato if I was you.
