HAHA! i like it

RE!

the different approach is to kill the bill and "start over". duh. if they wanted to do something, they would have done it during the 8 years of the last presidency. they're perfectly content with the status quo

agreed. i know im out for a while. my garage needs cleaned out and i need to get rid of some junk

yeah. i figured if/when i do it, i'll park my car at the end of where i want to go, and put my car top carrier on my g/f or someone elses car and go to the start. its a universal top and i think i can easily fit it in the kayak to carry it with me

ive canoed hocking via one of the canoe places down there. i mentioned hoover for the fact its <3 miles from my house. once i get the feel for the kayak (only been out on a couple for very short amounts of time), i want to go do big walnut from about morse/stygler down to main/270. stopped by last night and found a spot i should be able to stop and unload, but there are 5-6 rock steps down to the creek that might be a bit of a PITA to get out of the creek. i heard the kokosing river is nice too...someone online even mentioned riding bikes up the trail then kayaking back down to where you started the ride. sounded like a good time

its a good thought...im really going to try to focus on getting out more this summer and being active, instead of sitting around all the time. did 22mi on my bike yesterday, bought a kayak friday so i can get out on hoover and do some paddling, a hike sounds great too.

give me a little more notice and i'd be down like a motherfucker. unfortunately, i just woke up, and ive got some spring cleaning to do. if its on a weekend and you can give me a couple days notice, i'd even be down for like a 10mi hike.

i heard some of those bikes guys like him ride are easily $15-20 g's.

if you end up getting one chad, let me know. riding solo isnt horrible, but its nice to have a couple people http://columbus.craigslist.org/bik/1645423714.html http://columbus.craigslist.org/bik/1643934308.html http://columbus.craigslist.org/bik/1642055977.html just depends what size you need. you can find something cheap if you're not going to get too serious...but when i hit the trek store last year, the cheapest thing i saw was like $800, and they went up to $5000-6000

i just wore some ohio state basketball type shorts, a long sleeve white myrtle beach t-shirt, and some tennis shoes. im no where near hardcore enough of a cyclist to wear lycra. a guy on another forum im on though is, and he said if you're not down for lycra, you can get mountain biking shorts which is that stuff underneath, but has a loose outer shell, so you dont have the spandex look. nothing fancy though. hit craigslist for a bike. you can find good deals there

its a 2002 (i believe) jamis ventura. i picked it up off a guy in wooster last year for like $325 and with new pedals (he had clipless pedals), and all the other stuff i mentioned, ive spent maybe $200 on it. part of that was a pump for the garage, a portable one, carry bag, extra tube, tire changing tools, all the stuff i should have gotten last year and didnt

i found a similar thread from a while back but it was locked up anyone here? spent the last couple weeks getting stuff done to my bike for this summer. got my brake cables switched around (were backwards from previous owner), new handle bar tape, new tubes/tires, etc. got out today and did 22 miles. started at my place by easton, took the alum creek trail to shrock, over to the bike shop at state/schrock, back down to trail, up cooper, down cleveland to sharon woods, did the long trail in sharon woods, back up cleveland to main st, over to alum creek and back down the trail was a nice day out, shit load of bugs stuck to me off the trail. all in all took 1h 33m. me and the guy i work out with are talking about going out to mt vernon and doing the kokosing trail later this summer after we get some more seat time. 14 miles each way...supposed to be a nice trail out there in the country, and sounds like its fairly easy since its built on RR tracks, its doubtful theres many big inclines.

i got a guy i work with who used to work at discover and his wife is still there...i guess they have some good returns and then bonus periods where you can get double and triple rewards on certain things. the only thing i would be weary of is that some places may not take discover/amex like they do visa/mastercard. i know at my work doing collections, we can only take visa or mastercard for payments, no disc/amex...and we do financing for like over 100+ different stores (VS, express, crate and barrel, lane bryant, etc etc etc)

i live at morse/sunbury, right behind evan's automotive. if you want to stop over, PM me and i'll send you my address.

on like a door? i got some stuff from a buddy of mine who details high end cars (ferraris, bentleys, porsche, audi, landrover, etc) i think the brand is "car brite" and its just an adhesive label remover. the can i have is probably 5 years old and i just used some last week to remove the double sided sticky tape i used to seal up my house windows for the winter and it came right off if you have a microfiber cloth and you want to stop by and try it, ive still got about 1/2 can left

depends what you spend...i get $50 check every time i spend $5,000, but that takes me a while. i usually only use it for big purchases i plan to pay off immediately. i.e., i just bought kitchen cabinets for $2800, but paid it off 2 days later

wow...just funny thinking of it coming from tiger woods being that up until a couple months ago he projected that "good boy" image. hahaha

might want to re-word that as "$1.75 each if you buy all 140 DVDs"

i didnt see any that cheap tonight. i went and picked up my kayak today and realized i wish i bought the wratcheting ones. i got 2 single straps w/ wratchet for 5.39 each (regular price marked 17.99) and a 2 pack of bigger ones with a rubber grip handle for 17.99

lol. its cool. im just ready to do some fishing. when you get an open spot and know about a week or so in advance, let me know. luckily i make my own schedule at work so im down for just about whenever
