More busy days behind me. Training goes well, though we still have trouble getting the rest of the house healthy. Indiana weather is just not agreeing. A few nice rides, including tandeming with my favorite stoker, aka Mom.
Made some nice additions to bicycle logging system, and will start looking for feedback prior to marketing.
All for now.
60 Days until TOSRV,
Lifetime Mileage ... 135,813
Since purchasing my first tandem in 1975, I have enjoyed talking and writing about tandems as much as riding them.

And I was doing so well. . .
Okay, right after that last weekend of January, a plague was put upon our house. SonOne went though a miserable two-week cold that was finally diagnosed has Whooping Cough! Mom and SonTwo suffered through colds, complicated by Mom's mild asthma. As for me, just a persistent sinus headache and cold, complicated by the lack of sleep while assisting everyone else in the household.
Finally, normalcy is returning, while I enjoy the 3-day weekend. Taxes to finish, 1 dry (but cool) riding day, and time to work on taxes. So I will try to catch up some postings, including another article off to RTR, the CIBA swap meet, an evening with Sheldon Brown, (again courtesy of CIBA), and some more fun with mapping software.
More later.

TOSRV Rider 257 and ???
It was a good week.
I finished a Sunday with 22 miles, for my 50 mile weekend.
A well deserved rest day on Monday
4 great evening workouts, (okay, 1 was interupted by 2 calls for CIBA Ride schedules).
Work was great and my Apple stock was up almost $5. (It nice be a stock owner and former Mac Genius).
SonOne and I are signed up for TOSRV, or at least PayPal says so. SonOne came though, but mine is still hanging in web limbo. Hopefully I will get my number in a day or two. Otherwise the whole process, from registation to information packet was handled seamlessly, without SASE.
I thought we might we get roadable weekend, but more snow is coming tonight. So another trainer weekend. I will be adding the AirStrykes before the next session.
We have sound system for the tandem now, a TDK I'mASpeaker, a powered mono flat speaker built into a flat CD case. It will get a spot on top of the rack trunk, with a 10Gb 3G iPod. First test will be in few weeks, obviously. It may be moved to a mid ship position on the stoker bars, but we will test in the rear first. The solid state iPod shuffle may be better choice, than the hard drive based 3G; it would be nice to have backup battery option for the shuffle, which charges off USB 2. But shoes and new riding glasses are higher priorities right now.
Aside from riding, I have an RTR article to finish this weekend.
Lifetime mileage 135,380.
