Went riding at Baldpate today, took a spill and couldn't get a foot down. Stiff armed the Earth and lost. Snapped the head off my left radius. Stay tuned for pictures once I figure out how to take a picture of x-ray transparencies. Sent typing one handed from my couch.

Ok, so now that I have found one friend a bike, they all want bikes. Sigh. Looking for another hardtail 26er. Intended rider is less than 5'3", about 140lbs. Approximate budget- $400. I will personally throw in $10 if the bike has streamers on the handles.

I have one of these. Shockingly good picture for an old tube TV. Does weigh about as much as a small moon though.

I thought the X2 was still 2.2? For what it is worth folks- the Droid X is an awesome phone. I wish I could have gotten mine for $75.

I won't be able to do Saturday. Stupid work. Sad face.
