TWW Spy Cam Working Overtime

I know I said the blog would likely be on hiatus for the holidays, but when the TWW Spy Cam catches a photo like this, I couldn't resist posting it.

Lloyd says I dyed my hair blonde... silly boy. Again, oV was nice to you and Pshopped you out. But I got my hands on the original and here it is in its full glory.

Who's next?

It's been a good year!

It was just over a year ago that I started this blog (this is one of the early posts and is appropriate for the time of year). Wasn't sure what it was going to be but hopefully it has been fun for y'all out there. It certainly has been for me, and I met a bunch of new people as a result of it. Thank you Al Gore for the Internet.

This blog is likely to go on hiatus for the holidays - so have a wonderful and safe holidays!!!

And Jeni, you have until the New Year to get your Pshop in order.

More join in on the Pshop war

Jeez even Cyclingnews.com is getting in on this Pshop war. Can't believe they edited my photo. Here is the original.

They did a pretty good job, but with just some rudimentary analysis of the pixel structure, you can see some Pshop hack modified my photo. I mean come on, at least put a helmet on the guy. Like der.

Well, at least they didn't put me in any compromising positions...

So you VB's drooling over that photo - keep in mind who was in the original shot. :)

Game, set, and match

I told you not to mess with me. Sorry brutha Kyle, but she drew first blood (and you guys were just grossing us out Saturday with the schmoopfest).

Wondering where Jeni has been?

Now you know. Sorry hun, the cat's out of the bag... I hope your parents don't read this blog. TWW is such a bad influence.

Pass the extra hot salsa puh-leeze

Gotta like a burrito joint that's got a menu like this...

Turning Wheels for Kids a Huge Success!!!

Wow, what a great day!!! Amazing to see so many people out helping to pull this off. The TWFK folks did a great job and all seemed to go smoothly. What a great thing to be apart of.

TWW and the Fox folks kicked some serious arse. Between the two groups, we may have built 100 bikes. And we did most of the more challenging 24" and 26" wheeled bikes. The Fox guys rocked - unbelievable how quickly they assembled bikes. The did more than our group with probably 1/2 the crew. Nicely done.

So the 1,000 bike goal was easily reached and we could've done more. Most of us missed out on the free lunch due to the teenagers taking more than one sandwich, but that was cool as we all trotted down to the local taqueria to have a big ol' burrito. Plus we had the restaurant pretty much all to ourselves so we could keep the schmack rollin'.

Some photos to come, but in the meantime, here are some fun quotes:

"You're not helping my reputation." - Frankie when we "volunteered" him to do the bike build contest with the Pro Lacrosse team cheerleaders.

"I just lay there." - Jeni on... well, something about a bed.

"Does anyone have a bandage?" - Lloyd after cutting himself within the first minute of arriving there.

"Mo and Isaias should be here any minute." - Rookie Boy on the impending arrival of Mo and Isaias who are normally late - and in this case a no show.

"You're worse than me!" - Jeni on my oh so clean schmack.

"Who likes to wake up so early on a Saturday?!" - Dawn on the start time - of course she showed up later... :)

"Do not put that on the blog!" - several people - I'll be nice... this time muwahahahahahaaa!!!

"The cables are all routed to one side. Mike's aren't. Who did that? You put the handlebars on." - Loren to Esther already learning how to pass the blame to his significant other (Loren actually put the handlebars on).

"Maybe she's not all that." - Me to Loren referring to Esther and HER installation of the handlebars.

"Should I toe in the brakes?" - Ester working on a bike.

"Yes, bigger usually is better." - Dawn talking about something, can't remember exactly.

"Everything that Mike says has double meaning." - Robert on I guess my habit of double entendre. Not sure what he's talking about.

"Let's go eat. I'm starving. The Donger need food!" - Kyle at the lunch break. Okay, maybe he didn't say the Donger part.

"You can Photoshop that?" - Schlachter to me about some super basic pshop job. Like duh.

While not a quote, Schlachter's inch worm style one-armed pushups were pretty comical.

Probably the only disappointment of the day was not getting a back rub from PF (who for some reason didn't show). But I did try to get one from the Cameron Diazesque cutie - she even said she was a certified massage therapist... daggonit, no luck there either. :(

Thanks again to everyone for their help. Should be a great holidays for 1,000 kids!!! Just think about that... :)

Another Separated at Birth

Not as good looking as our very own Lloyd (as I'm sure the ladies will attest), but there are some similarities there.


Perhaps in about 20 years. Or I wonder if it is just the Asian thing...

Don't try this at home with any ordinary bike light

You think these things look fragile? Guess again.

Video of car driving onto light

BR Lights.

As good as they get...

Endorsed by TWW, Nicknameless, and used just recently by PF in her adventure race. Hell works great as a flashlight too (my current use of the light - soon I'll get out and ride outside of the garage).

Get yours now while he still has some inventory!!!
