http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=3886955...a semi truck was hauling a 210,000-pound vessel, or pipe, while another semi truck was pushing it from behind. WTF?

Great idea. Too bad I'm on the bike. Just imagine- sitting on top of 1340cc of V-Twin motor, churning up 245° of heat under your crotch and not any opportunity to get it any faster than about 5 mph. But at least it's a dry heat.

Yeah, that sucked large scale ass. Left the office at 6:00, got home at 7:25. 13 miles. No *feces* whatsoever.

Did you finally do that trike conversion? Saw that the other day.   I don't know where I got that number from then. I though it sounded awfully high compared to spacey's bike. |

8:52 PM ftl.  Spacey, I very nearly took I-80 east to I-84 and down Weber Canyon. Only the price of gas dissuaded me. |

8:52 PM ftl. Spacey, I very nearly took I-80 east to I-84 and down Weber Canyon. Only the price of gas dissuaded me. Given the aggravation, it might have been money well spent. To add insult to injury, a southbound accident, blocking nothing but the carpool lane, delayed me almost 30 minutes coming in this morning. *goshdarn* rubberneckers. MFH! |
