Remember, when your cat misbehaves, the quickest way to correct the behavior is squirting the cat with a squirt bottle while firmly saying, "No!" "Bad cat! No! Put down the Glock! (squirt-squirt) No!"

Anyone know of an on-line retailer still carrying any stock of Cobras? I found a Brit page last week, but can't locate it again - looking for size 38/38.5.

I've got a Cordless which I like for its density (now Revolution) - I'm not sure how the redesign with the velco closures will hold up - I prefer the metal hook/buckles on mine. I understand that the Globe pad is similar in quality and density to the Cordless, for a bit less, although it has some nice detailing like reinforced corners. I did notice a Pagan pad on Overstock.com for $100 - It is a bi-fold design, rather than a taco-fold, so will have the flat spot at the seam between the 2 pad halves.

Get a different doctor. I had ACL work done a few years ago in January, and was climbing in June-July. Seriously, tho' - if you haven't gotten set up with PT, do so now. I don't remember the exact dynamics of the healing/ligament replacement process, but about 3 mo. out is when your body is building a new ligament from the donor tendon in the knee, so working on knee stability and overall balance now is critical. Besides working strength and balance, the most important thing that PT can do is help your body-mind trust the joint so you don't overcompensate elsewhere, creating other injuries, or re-injuring the same location. So get a referral to a PT who knows active sports well and can pace your recovery and get you healthy for the season.

Gators?

That explains the infestation of avacado trees in my backyard.

"The new Honda and Suzuki twins will, without question, put a smile on your face, no matter which one you pick. They've got such an amazing amount of torque right from idle, it takes a lot of self-control (and practice) to keep the front wheel down. That goes double for the TL, which is simply a brute with no manners. It needs to get some, though, in order to compete with the SuperHawk for best street bike. The TL has an awkward riding position, reminiscent of a GSX-R, that makes you feel like you're riding right over the front tire. The Honda, on the other hand, goes through corners with a very neutral, lightweight feel, albeit not quite as quickly as the TL can, but so what? You shouldn't be going that fast on the street anyway. Not really flickable, but easy to point in the right direction, with a comfortable seating position to boot. Add to that a beautiful look, and the choice becomes that much easier to make: The Honda will treat you with some manners, and deliver your day's riding in style."

A few more shots from the Peninsula. Sunbathing, Washington-style.

Monkeynursing?

Don't know if it was posted before, but here is a use survey for the Squamish area. Survey

Thanks. Gotta keep up the photoassaults since Distel's out of pocket.

Hit the peninsula for some beach time. WTF, 60's and sunny -

A locksmith is sent to an asylum for the insane to change some cell locks. While he is changing the lock in the first cell, he notices the inmate is making motions like a baseball player about to bat. The locksmith asks the inmate what he is doing, and the inmate says: "I'm Babe Ruth! As soon as I hit a homerun, I'm out of here!" The locksmith goes on with his work. In the next cell, he sees the inmate making motions like a golfer. Again he asks, and the inmate says: "Don't you recognize me? I'm Tiger Woods, as soon as I score a Hole-In-One I'm out of here!" The locksmith shakes his head and goes on to change the lock on the last cell. In the cell, he sees a naked man with an enormous errection and peanut balanced on the tip of it. The locksmith is puzzled and says: "And what are you doing to get out of here?" The naked man says: "Get out of here? I'll never get out of here, can't you see I'm fucking nuts?!"

Every day at the office, a male co-worker walks up very close to a lady standing at the coffee machine, inhales a big breath of air and tells her that her hair smells nice. After a week of this, she can't stand it anymore, takes her complaint to a supervisor in the personnel department and states that she wants to file a sexual harassment grievance against him. The Human Resources supervisor is puzzled by this decision and asks, "What's sexually threatening about a co-worker telling you your hair smells nice?" The woman replies, "It's Keith, the midget."

a "Lost Weekend" - a beer chased by a fifth of Jack Daniels.

Single malt Isley scotches: Laphroig, Lagavulein, Bowmore, etc....

That's okay, but if you really want to be cool, you can pick them out a gift from their bridal registry at Macy's. Dammit, someone already snagged the pickle dish.

Nah, my dad had the album. The TJ Brass rock.

Exactly.
