n mount a spike where your foot was ?
I read this CHOH nonsense at Backpacker where grabbing a cold one sells mags Here, distorted realities weakens your positions on all safety concerns. CHOH is not noticed in USA sea kayaking nor rock climbing AFAIK |

BIKE CONTENT: Cannondale is giving me a new CX frame. Not exactly what I wanted, but it's free. Now I have too many bikes. Maybe I'll sell the frame. -- Jay Beattie. THE NEW BIKE IS AN IMPROVEMENT OVER THE CANNONDALE ? please describe Good question because I haven't built-up the bike or even seen the frame. Compared to the old CX frame, the Search has a lower BB, longer head tube, longer TT, slightly lighter, and it has a better front-end feel. Very planted but not dead. I like it, but it's no sports car. The steering angles on the CX bike plus the pepperoni forks gave it a pretty heavy steering feel. The Search also has new parts. The old CX bike was a mishmash of old parts, and I'm not exactly sure whether I want to hang them on a new bike. But I could -- particularly since 9sp chains last longer. The new bike should be BB30 (per web specs) and not BB30A -- Cannondale's new PITA standard (standard 30mm ID, 42mm OD but a bottom bracket shell that is 5mm wider -- so you can't use a standard BB30 crank, but you can use Shimano Hollowtech with Wheels Mfg adapters). I wish it were threaded English.. The new frame also has flat-mount rear disc mounts -- meaning some sort of adapter for the BB7 or new rear brake (I haven't checked), and it has internal "tube" routing -- and I assume that works for ordinary cable housing. I'll need a new headset for a tapered steerer. It doesn't have through axles, so the other stuff should work. It has fender mounts -- but no through hole in the fork, so dyno light would have to go on bars unless I do some "under-crown" mount. -- Jay Beattie. |

My local store has an awesome selection: http://www.rainydayportland.com/2012...multnomah.html Here is our Marco's Cafe, in the middle of this page: http://www.gonewiththewynns.com/gold-country-ca Great place. Food is mediocre at best but good brews and good live music. With dancing. Beer is passe. There's a brewpub or brewery on every Portland street corner. http://www.portlandbeer.org/breweries You can get good Oregon brewed bottled IPAs at Costco. That is a major line-up. We don't have quite that selection but it's adequate. However, since I started brewing my own it only matters during rides. On some MTB rides far off civilization I take a home brew along.

Peer pressure to try "cooler stuff" - harder drugs - hardcore addiction - death. The closest one I knew was the 26 year old son of the owners of my apartment.

Permanent disability but still decades to have to go on with whatever "life" they had left in them. Nobody will convince me that liberalizing drugs is a good thing.

Marcos is kind of a dump (but about the only place you could buy espresso drinks 30-40 years ago in PDX). I was posting the picture of the dumpy market down the street with the massive beer collection. They have a zillion bottles and some really arcane stuff. Even the store that is about a third of a mile from my house has a good beer selection. There is a growler fill place across the street from that. You have to like to home brew as a hobby because it is super-easy to just walk down the street and buy a good beer. I have too many other chores to spend time home brewing, but maybe I'll try it when I retire. -- Jay Beattie. |

J, no diff tween alcohol n 'drugs'
people are alcoholics n die from what is SPECIFICALLY a poison. Marijuana, heroin, morphine ...my knowledge list ...are NOT poisonous. people cannah hold their liquor nor drugs some die some recover. itsa spectrum of human nature not morality. however the cannah hold is extremely accelerated with 'drugs' lab developed near immediate blown effects for medicine where as CHOH esp scotch n soda, southern comfort ....require some hard work to arrive its 75mph vs 160 ..... right Phillip Morris ? morality for the Civil War farmers n tobacco Co millionaires. Pity. prob with altered consciousness drugs ... I assume opioids rank way high here ... relieve OR ameliorate experience. Ritalin is a workable bottom line for 'ameliorate.' |
