    My son's Jack Russell passed away, I hate getting attached to animals. I didn't want to know the details, so I am not sure what happened. I haven't been able to ride my bike all week because of rain. I am going to be on call this Saturday, the first day in a long time that they are not calling for 50 % or more chance of rain. I am not where I wanted to be after a year with this band. I am glad/happy/excited to be closer to that point than further away, but I keep having stupid things like the above paragraph as well as the following paragraph happen to stop me. I ate two stupid bites of a rib last night and it got stuck so I had a PB/Slime attack. I fought it for 2.5 hours before I gave in, God it hurt. Now I am swollen shut again and fluids will barely go down, but I am so freaking hungry that I want to hit something. I know I am going to have to stay on liquids or I will be in the ER again! WHY? I was strong enough to fight the urge to wretch and I carefully pushed it back out. I had a few PBs When I first started eating solids again after my initial surgery, when I was learning how to do this, without this Damn swollen thing happening. This Damn VG band is so freaking tricky. You get sucked into thinking the thing has loosened up because there are times when you can eat as if you have either no fill or no band at all. Then out of no where bam! Locked up! it could even be something you ate yesterday without any trouble. Now I sit here with life in the way of the amount of exercise I require to lose weight, I was at one point 5 pounds away from my goal. I just feel like I am in a fistfight with something I can't even see much less defend myself against. I am not being sarcastic when I say aside from all that, things are pretty good. It's just when I have time to stop and reflect that it gets me down. JC

    I was just in the middle of sharing some of my depression and hit a hot key that closed out the tab. I wish I new which key I hit it was pretty cool. So I am thinking that it was a sign to keep that "downer" junk to myself and focus on the good things. John, barring something bizzare is now an Eagle Scout! This is my one year anniversary with the band and I believe I can call it a successful year to say the least. Whoever decides to shoot BG, if you could save a bullet for me that would be cool. j/k JC

    Too bad the dude had tude. The people you deal with make all the difference in the world. I was happy with this guy's answers. He basically told me I would be able to get a similar ride and feel out of an equivalent manufacturers bike but, these are the things he likes about this brand. That was a nice approach. This is the first time I have been "fit" to a bike by someone using actual measuring devices and not "experianced" eyeballs, I think that makes a huge difference as well.

    J, if I am remembering correctly, you posted a link to some info on shifting and/or gear selection. Would please repost if you have it. Thank you. Oh, I had 237 e-mails waiting for me what a bunch of slackers I thought they would have missed me, I was expecting at least 500! LOL JC

    Have any of you tried a "Specialized" (brand Name) bike? They are some kind of sweet. I have sold one of my recumbents. Have to repair the other before I ditch it, I am keeping my Catrike 700.

    Ok I have put up a couple links. The first is the pics from Indiana and the second is Caladesi Island not far from where I live. Take a good look at that Rattlesnake, it was about 4 feet long. I had to sprint over to it in order to get some pics. What great fun. I will try to get the South Carolina pics up tonight. str8jacket29/Indiana Trip - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting str8jacket29/Caladesi Island - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

    BG, J, you aren't the only two having this problem. As I type this I am taking a break from rewriting a procedure for backup tapes. This was written by a "college grad" who makes more money than me because he has a higher education. Throughout my life I have been told many times that my education in the Southern states was inferrior to a Northeastern education, you could not prove this by the garbage that was placed on my desk this morning. Signed your dumb hick buddy,JC

    Hi guys, well it's Monday and I am getting ready to go back to work. What a awesome vacation. I am so glad that I got to meet some of you, it really made for a memorable trip. It will probably take me a few days to get back into a routine. Wish me luck this is the longest I have been away in 8 or 9 years, so there will probably be a liitle bit of work waiting for me. JC
