Well, I just get one fixed, and now the other pedal support snaps! Only this time, I can't just bolt the pedal in, even though it's o.k. the threads in the crank are badly stripped, so I have to see if there is enough meat in the crank in order to tap a threaded hole for the next size up standard bolt...... Fooey. またね

So how long will the media chew on this one: bigoted Tirade Not long, if at all, you can bet your booties. They are still chewing on Gibson for saying something while smashed out of his head. But that is because he is Mel Gibson, conservative who dared make a movie about Christ which wasn't made according to the left leaning Hollywood elite view, this one will vanish quickly, just watch. The mainstream media are such hypocrites.

I had one of those slap myself in the forehead moments earlier today. I have been looking for replacement parts for my exercise bike for a couple of weeks now, with no luck. The company that made it went buh - bye a few years ago. And I was under the impression that the pedals (the broken bit) were custom made - since the local bike shop didn't recognize the design (oddly, and poorly designed, I might add) - but today I took a wrench and vice-grips to the broken pedal - lo and behold, it comes apart, the pedal part is a standard bike pedal, and NOT broken, there is an intermediate adapter thingy between the pedal and the bike, still no joy, that appears custom machined. But wait, I decided to try and thread the pedal right onto the bike, the way it would be on any ordinary bike. A great big slap myself in the forehead moment, it bolts right in place! No cardio attachment to the pedals, but I don't use it anyway. I had my first stationary bike ride in several days tonight, it felt good. じゃまた。

Let's hope that the police really do have their man this time around: JonBenet If this is the resolution to this case , and I hope it is, the MSM and the smaller creeps (you know the ones, the "newspapers" you see at the grocery store check out stands, with all the stories about aliens, Elvis sightings, etc) Owe the Ramseys a VERY BIG APOLOGY. They've been blaming the family itself for years. じゃまた。

So much happening in the world, and all this with fanatics wanting to blow up innocent travelers crossing the Atlantic in Airplanes. If I had the time when going to Japan next year, I'd go by freighter, I hate airplanes! 飛行機にのるのが大嫌いですよ! But, since I don't have the time (unless I somehow, mysteriously wind up with 42 mil this w/e - yeah, right - like that's gonna happen ;-() I have to fly to Japan next year. Air travel sux. All these new rules, no liquids (I can live with that, as long as I can buy bottled water on board) maybe not bring all my electronics as carry - on, yeah, and leave them to the mercy of the 800 pound gorillas slinging the luggage around? Yuck. Yup, pretty soon we will have to fly starkers.... mmmm no thanks, I just lost my appetite. ;-) Speaking of which, guess I've been a little too vigorous on the exercise bike, I sheared one of the pedals off a few days ago, do you realise how difficult it is to get replacement parts for these? Standard bike parts don't fit, and the bolts on the pedals have "extra" bits for attachments. Blargh. A week so far without my bike. Not good. じゃまた。
