    I sent off a very special jersey that was a person gift (hand delivered) from the owners of
    Gekko Gear ( www.coldlizard.com )they gave me last year (along with my FOMBA team jersey) to my
    Penny for alterations. All I can say is WOW! Finally I can wear it and not look and feel like a
    stuffed sausage.

    Is that a smile on your face there, John? C'mon, you can admit it here.... ;-)

    Looks good - kudos to the seamstress (nicer word than "sewer" if mis-pronounced)

    Penny also altered my short track speedskating skinsuit by relocating the knee pads, but I'm too
    modest (read: chicken) to post pics of me posing in it.

    Anyway, this is another plug for Penny's skill as in the area of making / mending / altering
    sports clothing.

    Thanks, Penny. --dt

    I am sure it wasn't pretty. For example, his bicep measures 18" and the shirt sleeve opening was
    13". Can you say "uncomfortable".

    Yes, yes, yes. very interesting. You actually look about 30 years younger than what I remember of
    some of your other pics.

    I find that strange, yes very strange indeed.

    Wonder if it's due to Penny's handy work?

    Peace, Bill(seriously thought you were some old dude)Wheeler The mind serves properly as a window
    glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind should give an immediate view instead of an
    interpretation of the world.

    Been there, it's not pleasant. I've had the oposite problem lately, due to excessive cycling my
    wasteline has shrunk so much that I'm having to buy a new wardrobe.

    Good man, John. I used one package of the gum, but forgot to note date of last (eighth) piece (I was
    milking it at the end! 🙂

    I actually quit smoking in May of '91 -- 5 yrs before first mtb -- but then Carla sent me those
    damned Cubans when I bought the X-fly, and before you knew it...
