The Never Ending Bike Build

Hello all. Not much new here. A very relaxing weekend; Heather and I pretty much just sat around and chilled. She has been sick now for over a week (some sort of cold). Hopefully she starts to feel better soon.

Vontoux got bit by Birdie the other day. They have been getting along pretty well for the last few months (she doesn't mind when he sniffs her, and he hasn't tried to bite her or anything). But the other day, she was on the floor, and Vontoux went to lay down next to her. I guess his paw was moving too quickly next to her, so she bit him hard right on his paw. He yelped like a frightened school girl seeing Nathan Vasquez for the first time. He was fine though. Just a typical sibling quarrel. :)

In other news, the Madone continues to slowly get built up. I am taking my sweet time with it. All the parts are on it, and I have routed and cut the housing/cables. All that is left now is to adjust the brakes/derailleurs and install the Flight Deck. Maybe I can finish that in the next 2 weeks. ;) I will post pics when it is completed.

Way to go Birdie! Put Vontoux in his place.
Ahh, sibling rivalry... we know what that is about, don't we? I keep waiting for Machine to take a bite out of Mario's lip.

fuck it

A Grand Forks man is in serious condition after the Humvee he manned drove over a roadside bomb in Ramadi, Iraq, over the weekend, according to his father.
Lance Cpl. Ben Lunak, 21, took shrapnel to his stomach and back and may lose part of his leg, his father, former City Council member Duane Lunak, said Monday.
The young man was bound and determined to head overseas, his father said. He traveled with his company, the Lima Company, part of the 3rd Battalion of the Marine Corps, to Iraq shortly after breaking three bones in his ankle, Duane Lunak said.

Wow. Hopefully he doesn't lose part of his leg...he's probably lucky to be alive.
