I tried a recumbant trike once and it's actually funny. The main interest is for big trips because you can load it much more than a recumbant bike. If you don't need a machine that handles big load, you might prefer a recumbant bike because it's much more efficient.
trikes are heavier and the third wheel's friction isn't something you can easily forget.

recumbantDANCE!

How is Diablo3 so far? I enjoyed the first two, but never really cared for the PvP part that most of my friends obsess over. Those guys and their builds.

Just haven't felt any excitement for it, im sure ill play through at some point though.

Oh, you were talking about the desk, and I thought you meant the video of Harper that was playing on his computer ...

You may not like lip syncing, but if I put that big fest on when I asked you to marry me, I think it would be pretty hard for you to say no

It's actually funny, unlike a unicycle which is serious business

We think it is serious


What the public thinks?


Well some community organization tracked me down and gave me a coupon for a free icecream last year for being a good roll-model so they must take it seriously as well.



There we have it. Unicycling is serious business while recumbent trikes are for clowns and circus freaks .

On my old theme of new vehicles and fuel efficiency, I gave up on the idea of buying a brand new vehicle this year in favour of the idea of getting a bike and seeing how I can make my current ride better.

I punched in the numbers from my last 6 fill-ups (since I started keeping track) and was surprised to find that I am already doing about 18% better than the EPA rating on my vehicle



I thought it was bad how it is now, It would really suck if I got what the EPA estimates I should be getting. I think my new challenge is to see how much better I can get it with minimal investment.

Do you shut off your engine to coast down big hills?

no, just do regular maintenance and set the cruise at 105 instead of 115.

It does sound rather good.

You reckon Swansea can get Kenny to come work with them?
Thanx mate, never easy when one of "them" leaves.

Legends are thin on the ground nowadays.

Rodgers did write this letter to the Swansea fans.
I'm beginning to like him a lot.

Best reaction to Kenny's sacking had to be from his granddaughter. When she heard the news her entire face lit up and with a huge smile she asked her mom "does that mean Grandad can come on holiday with us now?"

Perspectives, eh?
