Thanks!

Had my first 5k of the season last Saturday. Fighting some issues in my left knee, but finished in 27:31.

Great job man! I skimmed some of your articles...seemed brutal. how far did you go and how long did it take?!

Total mileage was about 56. I was on the course for about 8 1/2 hours, with a total ride time of about 6.

I did the Sub-9 Death March over in Brown County last weekend. Here's the series I wrote on my blog about it, if you're interested.

Lotta posts, but none of them are all that long.

Thanks.

Both still available...

Your kid is a pretty sharp dude.

Is the damper a must-have? I'd just ditch it, if it were me.

Not exactly by the Dayton Mall area...

Or Compton. If I was him, that's where I'd hide. Plenty of sympathetic hosts, after all...

Well, his manifesto read like he didn't proofread it, that's for sure. And that he has a victim complex, but that's to be expected. Still doesn't mean he's a total dummy when it comes to tactics. If he really had the training from the Navy he claims to have, he'll know a thing or ten.

For a guy who had it planned out, his plan kinda sucks. Gets caught up in a shootout, tries to steal a boat and lets rope get tangled around the prop, shoots a couple people parked in a car....I'm guessing from here on out all his moves look suspiciously like a guy reacting instead of following a script.

Or he's crazy like a fox. Too early to tell, but he's doing a fine job of letting the LAPD make themselves look just as stupid/corrupt as he painted them in his manifesto.

Also, I know there's a lot of "internet badass" involved, but reading the comments on the articles about this, particularly from the LA Times, it's interesting how many people are cheering this guy on. At the very least, nobody really thinks the LAPD is squeaky clean in this whole fiasco.

Just saw this on WERA ; http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2013/02/ex-cop-manhunt-newspaper-delivery-women-shot.html

Apparently CA cops are serious about this guy.

And so they start doing what they do every time shit gets serious. They make it worse. Way to go, LAPD. That's not even the right truck...

Holy fucking shit, this guy is fairly serious!

Mohican's on my wanna-do list. I have to get to the next level in terms of fitness and skill first, though. I plan on doing a 6 hour race solo this year, and a bunch of shorter races. Not sure that I'm ready for a full 100 miler though.

Sweet! Love Weimaraners, such beautiful dogs.

I haven't yet, but social media posts like this one have proved very fruitful so far.

Good to hear from somebody else here that does this crazy stuff! What rescue do you work with?

She's gorgeous! Sounds like she might be a great match.

Please note that I can't approve applications through GDLRR, only make strong recommendations. If you're interested in Lily, you should start an application here, so the rescue can get started processing it:

She's great with other dogs. I'd actually prefer if she went to a home with another young, energetic dog that she could play with. It'll help manage her energy. But she plays with our other two really well.

Wasn't sure if I should post this here, or in the Marketplace, so I flipped a coin.

My wife and I foster dogs for the Greater Dayton Labrador Retriever Rescue (and some times on our own). We've had the two dogs here for some time with no real prospects, so I thought I'd try posting them up here, to see if anybody might be interested.

This is Lily. She's a total sweetheart. Very energetic, very people-centric, and very eager to do whatever you ask. She loves to play, has excellent recall, and has the best retrieve drive I've ever seen! She's been with us for some time now, and somebody needs to adopt her before we can't part with her! If you're looking for a great family dog, drop me a line and we'll arrange for you to meet her.

This is our other foster, a local rescue we're calling Tinkerbelle (Tink, for short). A friend of ours picked her up as a stray, and we've been getting her fed, trained and up to speed on her vet stuff for the past few months. She loves to play, to wrestle, and to just hang out and chew a bone (or five!). She gets her stitches out from her spay surgery on Monday, and then she's ready to be adopted! Since she's our own private rescue, her adoption fee is highly negotiable, and only to help us offset what we've spent on her vet bills

Ha! No, I was in KOS for a number of years. Kinda dropped out over the last few, though.

Haven't been riding nearly as long as some of y'all, but I've done my share of stupid/squidly.

First bike, 2002 YZF600R. Never rode anything with two wheels and a motor. Bought it brand new, read the owners' manual, and then rode it off the showroom floor. Did a couple circles and figure 8s in the back lot of the dealer, then right onto I-70 and back to work. Terrified the whole way, going 50 mph between angry semi drivers. Should've died.

Totaled that same bike 6 weeks later. On-ramp from downtown Dayton to US 35, ran wide, target fixated on a curb, highsided myself right into the middle of 35, downtown, on a Friday night. Didn't get run over, but did tear my right rotator cuff and all the skin off my right knee. Should've died.

Got my brand new shiny R6 in September of 04. Did the dump-it-in-the-garage-because-you-didn't-put-the-kickstand-down-all-the-way thing once. Horrified enough at the scratches on my shiny new bike that I could've died.

Went, in full, Yamaha-branded leathers, down to the UD parking lot with my squiddy friends so we could try to drag knee. In 2nd gear. At 30 mph. Mostly trying to impress the token girl among our little group. I was the only one even wearing leathers. Lost the front on a random piece of duct tape and lowsided. Embarrassed enough to have died on the spot.

Out in the middle of nowhere one night, 4 lane highway, racing my buddy on his 05 R6. Winding through the top of 6th, side by side with my buddy. A Cobra in front of us had just finished a race and cut a tire, and was pulling off to the side. The closing speed was so fast it didn't register. Just missed his side mirror at the last possible second. Never let off the throttle. Should've died a horrible, fiery death.

Wasn't long after that I stopped riding on the street...

I love it so far! Very cool build.

I went out with a few guys at John Bryan a week ago in the snow. Good fun, even if it took us 2 hours to go 5 miles!

Can't wait for Spring, though. Anybody else here doing the Sub 9 Death March?

Hoblick is a member here, runs (by all accounts) a pretty awesome bike shop in the CBus area.

Welcome to OR! I'll probably see you at Mid-Ohio this year, if you make it out. And you should. Pronto.
