Excellent, thank you.

The wind is still strong in Portsmouth. Today while cycling home I was hit hard by a gust of wind that knocked me off balance enough to have to bail and lay the bike down. The impact twisted the seat around, bent my pedal, and tore off bar tape. Got home and found road rash scrapes on hip, ankle, and elbow that were a little bloody. The whipcord on my N1 has a tiny scuff mark on the elbow that I could barely find, and my 21oz jeans look no different at all. Glad I had clothes on that can take a bit of a beating, might have been worse without them.

Yeah, it's still a complete bastard here.  I hope it dies down before Weds, Pilgrim is coming home….

For a while there was a popular Harley slogan…If I have to explain you wouldn’t understand. Might be similar.

[mclaincausey]

I think I THINK my explanation looks all rational and scientific like that, but in the eye of the beholder it's more like Charlie Kelly spewing conspiracy theories about Pepe Silvia:

Or you could go with a shriek of "Blasphemer!!" then no explanation is necessary

[Giles]

Perfect.

It's like, and  I should distil (and sell) the look Haraki gives me when I ask him a question, that he thinks so far beneath him, to even waste one brain cell thinking of a response….

What I actually said was something like “It looks cool and it pisses off your mother.”

well…the first member of my family was brought home by the police last night ???...our dog decided to wonder the neighborhood after her neglectful/I mean distracted owners forgot to bring her inside.  Whoops. We’re starting to get a reputation and not a good one.  ::) All’s well that ends well and as I often say...we’re trying our best.

I found an A Team van in the parking lot outside my work this morning so I went and found the guy it belonged to and got him to take a pic of me, Abel the barber and a customer in the barber chair…

Sarah and I have and understanding… When I have the spare cash, I either spend it on IH or develop a destructive crack habit. She's pretty OK with the IH option

There's probably like 18 different places I could post this… But I decided to go ahead and soak my old nwt 634SR.

I just checked them and they shrunk over an inch in the inseam in just ice cold water. They are too large to fit in the the tub unfolded so I keep flipping them around. I'll run them through my shrinking machine tomorrow.

I wasn't going to wear these so soon. But I am looking for a little ultra heavy Zimbabwe cotton pick me up..

I put some boot oil on the patch to try an get the leather patch to survive the next few days.

My wife is one of the few people around who loves, like loves loves, when the stock market takes a shit.  She treats it like a shopping spree at a going out of business sale.  She’s buying stocks like they’re garbage in those dollar bins at the front of Target.

Does anyone else think that currency traders are having fun in the City by making the chart of the Rouble to the Pound look like Batman?

Last few shirt releases, we have not sold out of 4XL immediately.  We're getting better, and I am relieved….
