The laptop is dead. Long live the laptop.
I have finally given up on my beloved Toshiba, after weeks of trying to fix the damn thing. By "fix" I mean turning the computer on repeatedly only to have the blue screen of death come on after failing to boot windows. I haven't tried so hard just to turn something on since Dr. Eufemiano Fuentes told me I could gain 15watts in my sprint if I had a boner. It didn't work. With my debilitated laptop, I even sought professional help. Professional Help told me it needed to be put down for good. Now I'm back online (or rather have easier access to the interwebs) and ready to share a few pearls of wisdom that I've learned in my absence from this blog.
One
Banana bread makes a delicious substitute for regular bread when making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Seriously. Try it.
Two
I'm still good at bonking. Riding outside of my abilities would be my middle name, but I think "Idiot Riding Outside Of My Abilities Cyvant" is a sixth-grader's misspelled, incomplete sentence. Sentences don't make good names. Just ask me about the kid whose parents named him "Hey Throw Me The Ball."
Three
I'm finally building my new race bike, which brings the total count up to six. But not to worry, I've decided there is a bike that I can part with and plan to sell in the near future. It took a lot of work to convince myself that I don't need to keep three road bikes. At the top of my list of reasons for selling the bike was "Can use money to buy a different bike."
Four
James Huang must be my brother from another mother. His review on the 7900 Dura-Ace is pretty much my first impression after riding and playing with the group for 5 minutes times 44,640 (or whatever number of 5-minute intervals there are in five months).
