  1. Peter seems to have gone missing. I know he was going to switch from
    AOL. Anyone heard from him?

    Poor [censored]. He was last seen slumped at his desk, face down on a
    tear-soaked keyboard, blubbering "I just want to get to NEWSGROUPS; why is
    that so hard now?!?"

    He'll be back.

    Eventually.

  3. Anyone heard from him?
    i thought of him two days ago.

    There were unsubstantiated rumors, published in "The Daily Camera,"
    that Peter had been abducted by Steve Case and Kozo Shimano.

    The story goes on to say that Case and Shimano--dismayed by what they
    view as blatant disdain for their products--have been injecting
    Chisholm with thiopental sodium for several days. Langley is also
    rumored to be involved.

    I would expect Peter to be back within a day or two, feeling chipper,
    but under a new screen name and feeling oh-so sanguine about the new
    DA10 group.

    In an ominous foreshadowing of what bike rides will be like once the Moots
    in in his mitts, Brooks mops the floor with Sornson on Usenet.

    Sigh.

    Yeah - soon he'll start telling us that Hollowtech is great, tapered
    cranks are inherently dangerous and he actually likes STI cabling
    because it provides somewhere breezy to peg out your underpants on tour.

    Actually, that last one's not a bad idea...

  7. he's fixin snowmobiles.

    Hi gene -

    Would it be okay if I sent you a list of other people about whom I'd
    like you to think?

    John, you a truly a wiseass, but assuredly a very literate wiseass.

    And I'm enjoying the fixie I built up with the Surly hubs you sold to
    me. Thanks for being here.

    Now you must think about me, at least for a moment.

    Peter is out greasing tapirs.

    Is this to practice wrestling with greased pigs (or pig-like creatures?)
    I've been advised not to do this, as I will get dirty, and the
    pig-creature will enjoy it. Sort of like arguing on usenet. Besides,
    Campignolo recommends against greased tapirs.

    I don't think a greased tapir would be easy to wrestle judging from
    these pictures.

    Perhaps we have all grossly underestimated our friend Mr. Brandt. I have
    long suspected that he gets a special pleasure from watching all of the
    gyrations and shouting that his style and content spawn here. This post
    would seem to indicate that he is letting us in on his sense of play.

    Seriously though, does anyone know where Peter is? Out Skiing perhaps?

    Does the white part of the tapir connect to the bottom bracket spindle,
    and the dark gray part to the crank, or is it the other way around?

    Careful. The snout angle on these Asian (Japanese standard, JIS) tapirs
    is slightly different from the other types. And make sure to wipe that
    grease of the backs of them (see photograph), before assembling. /Robert

  16. john-

    i'm flat out booked
    but if there's money in it send the info and i'll tackle it?
    lose any children?
    que para is in italy as there's no biz in colorado this winter.
    did yyawl see the photo of jeb with the latest ford?
    what do you make of it?

  17. dacey's query reminds me oif several 'funny' stories-

    one-first time thru miami in years, was there pre mariel back tomthe
    '50's. nice.
    stopped for gas and restroom just inside the city limit. went ot
    restroom then went right back outside and found the window's were
    getting jimmied open. 5 minutes.

    then walked away from the volvo to the muffler shop office, turned
    around and found an underrack midget with a long crowbar stuck up my
    volvo's manifold...

    during the last palm beach storm much of miami evacuated-here to the
    west coast boondocks. they, young hispanic moderns driving spiffy late
    model asian coupes with stolen 'mag' wheels were lined up at the few
    gas stations along one of 'our' more fashionable blvds and looked 20
    degrees out of phase across the fiberglass.

    every coin operated machine in town stopped working.

    wonder who dacey's looking for?
    dasong?

    He's waiting for his DSL stuff to arrive. Once he gets it, it'll take
    him another month to figure out how to use it!

    Remember, plenty of grease on the tapers (and the tapirs).

    Not enough snow in the Denver area for a snowmobile when I was there
    over the weekend. The Arctic Cat dealers were pimping their ATVs like
    mad.
