Some of the more polite nicknames I've received have been
'Universal Daddy', 'Bicycle Repairman' & 'HBD'. Recently the added facial growth has spawned some new ones such as 'Waco Darc'. It's probably a side-effect of building a single-speed bike winkeye

On usenet & other forums I tend to stick to DaRC I find having multiple net personalities just too schizophrenic cdouble

Oh yeah I'm also a Heathen Bard of the OBOD cheers

Returning wanderer

Got stuck in a busy rut - work projects, cycling, gardening, druidry and then all the family stuff

Just got a propagator so I'm back here searching for stuff on growing from seed, storing herbs and other such stuff...

Long time...
Sep 1, 2005

away - the real world and the other world took me away.
Did I panic...nah I went all Yogic zen . The Androids ufo caught me but fortunately the chip has been rejected. Probably a career limiting move but I'm still me, not a corporate shell biggrin .

Cycling well after a decade as a Lance Armstrong fan it's time to move on. Here's my final LA TDF Haiku...

TDF 2005
========
Zabriskie TT,
Der Kaiser demoralized
by leg strong Armstrong.

The Belgian Quickstep:
Boom-boom Boonen's first salvo,
green jersey hunt starts.

Normal tour day.
To Tours; the peloton cruise
to the Boonen two-step.

Tailwind from Tours;
Disco very best time trial,
Zabriskie tailspins.

Rainy Loire Valley:
After the headbutt,
Oz champ gets revenge for DQ.

Mengin's hairy end;
Vino strikes, Bernucci wins
leaders are late in.

Wegmenn's Deutsche road;
the binary showers stop.
McE eats the sprint.

Long lean Weening wins.
The Vosges leave Lance lonely
to Three T's attacks.

"Chicken" Rasmusson:
suffers like a dog to win,
then dances a polka.

The rest day defense:
Voigt protects his Maillot Jaune
by loving the moment.

The Disco Train tune:
Iles pipers, Valverde wins,
Lance plays Courcheval.

Madeleine escape -
Disco Telegraph to top:
'Vino Galibier!'

Quatorze Juillet!
Super solo Moncoutie
storms to Digne-les-Bains.

Post Alpine sprint.
Escapees lost to Lotto
Robbie trusts team; thanks.

Some like it hot.
Totschnig, Lance, Basso: flavour
Pyrenees hot-pot.

Hincapie hangs on!
Attrition leads Armstrong and
Basso to podium.

Pau: It's a rest day.
Dane in Polka Jersey
preparing strategy.

Last mountain affray.
Pereiro overcomes Evans;
revenge for Sunday.

Il Falco revels;
Vino attack - rivals fraught,
Ullrich still has naught.

Scorching hot Serrano;
Spanish pepper wins in Mende
Ullrich chases third.

'Turbo' Guerini;
Massif Central makes his day,
Le Puy-en-Velay.

It's all about today:
It was all Lance, all the way
Tour victory.

Wet day en Paris;
Vino surprises sprinters,
wins en Champs-Elysees.

Which was celebrated with a dinner of "Big Tex's Tequila Chicken Burritos" (recipe available on request) and Margherita's.

the 3 C's
Oct 4, 2002

Hmmmph cycling not going too well at the mo' due to lower back pain. I know it's my own fault (too much cycling not enough stretching/Yoga)
but it's very frustrating. Although I'm building a Specialized Epic FSR now aka Bike Porn for those in the know... See
http://www.singletrackworld.com/

Cooking - haven't done a new recipe in ages. Still I've got a load of Tagine spices from Morocco so time to try a Tagine!

Cocktails...now that reminds me I must pick up some Margherita mix winkeye

Yes my next journal will have recipes and coktails cheers
