Month: July 2003

Powerless to do anything…

July 13, 2003

At least I’m not the only one with awful power. For the last few months we’ve been experiencing random brownouts and blackouts. Normally this would just be annoying except for the fact that I run around 20 domains off my home DSL line and my servers get quite unhappy when there’s no electricity to fuel […]

An all-time low!

I’m extremely pleased this morning…down to 234.8 pounds with a percentage of 33.0%! The weight is the lowest it’s been since I was 18…quite an inspiration to myself!

Lovell and Freeman fatally injured during Oregon Trail SCCA ProRally

SCCA has issued an official press release regarding the accident: HILLSBORO, Ore. (July 12, 2003) – Subaru Rally Team USA superstars Mark Lovell, 43, and Roger Freeman, 52, both of England, were fatally injured Saturday during the first special stage of the Oregon Trail SCCA ProRally event. The first car away from the starting line, […]

Two crash during Oregon Trail Road Rally

July 12, 2003

No names have been mentioned, but it’s fairly safe to assume this is Mark and Roger. I really have no idea how to feel about this. The Associated Press 7/12/2003, 7:45 p.m. PT HILLSBORO, Ore. (AP) — Two men participating in an Oregon Trail Road Rally event died Saturday morning when their car struck a […]

Fatal accident…

There have been unconfirmed reports that Subaru driver Mark Lovell and co-driver Roger Freeman was involved in a fatal accident during stage one of the Oregon Trail ProRally. I usually leave the motorsports postings to Trunkmonkey.com but, if this is true, it will effect me greatly. This will be the second fatal accident in less […]

zero_sum

Chelle has struck again with a gift of 1250 shares of zero_sum. I’m not sure why I’m all of a sudden receiving these…artificial inflation of stock prices by hoping that gift recipients will link back? Who knows…

Zoomtard is the fastest!

With the purchase of a new helmet, Nicole now rides the short bus. She’s got a helmet…but she isn’t on the team! On a more serious note, I’m glad to see that some riders are serious enough about their safety to grab a youth helmet because the adult helmets don’t fit. I’ve seen too many […]

The gift of NerveTattoo?

How completely odd! A random BlogShares user gave me the gift of 725 shares in NerveTattoo, an Italian culture and philosophy site. They’re not a trader on any of my blogs, so I’m not quite sure where they came from. Unless it’s just some tactic to gain readership or linkage…in which case it worked.

  • The Angels’ Share: Single Malt and Singletrack
    Back in November an amazing video popped up in my Feedly called Angel’s Share: Exploring Scotland’s Singletrack and Single Malt. I’m a big fan of mountain biking. I’m a big fan of Scotch. And I’m a fan of Ben Howard whom I’ve heard a few times and was chosen for the soundtrack. But a couple […]

  • When counting calories watch out for reporting loops in your Apps.
    Weight loss isn’t magic. Simply eat less calories than you burn. Easy peasy. That is unless you inadvertently sabotage yourself by getting too geeky and try to use too many nutrition and weight loss Apps to track and manage your progress. I found out the hard way that it’s best to Keep it Simple (Stupid). […]
  • Trunkmonkey Racing Ghetto Wheel Truing using Zipties
    After 10 miles of rough trail riding on the old 1992 GT Karakoram Full Rigid my slightly out-of-true wheel became a significantly out-of-true wheel with a bent spoke; it was rubbing brake pad in four locations. I guess my fat ass bombing a downhill full of fist-sized loose rocks and small boulders was a bad […]
  • Airborne Bicycles gives a sneak peak of their new Guardian 29
    It’s just a single photo, but Airborne Bicycles has posted a sneak peak photo of their new Guardian 29 on their Facebook page. Since the caption reads “A sneak-peak of one of the new models coming soon~!” there are probably more fresh designs in the pipeline! Speculation is running wild, but so far the consensus […]
  • Trunkmonkey Racing and Airborne Bicycles?
    In my search for new Mountain Bikes I ran across Airborne Bicycles, a company that has an interesting offering of value-packed bikes (follow them on Facebook and Twitter).
