  1. So, after surgery on Monday, here are my observations, what is your experience? Percocet One kick ass pain killer! After vicodin failed to keep up with the pain curve on the day following, this stuff really did the trick. Definite drowsiness, but not as much of the drugged up fog I experienced with vicodin. Vicodin Fair to good pain relief, but I found it could not keep up with the pain the day after the surgery and all local anesthesia had worn off. Much more of a "high" than percocet, perhaps not as good at pain relief, but you may not care as much! _________________

  3. Only thing I can think of is perhaps making sure the VCR tuner is set up for antenna reception and not cable? Probably not since you say all other channels are good, but just a thought... Otherwise, a foil hat, grab the antenna cable, a little to the left, raise your right arm... there. Don't move!
  4. Depends on the type of terrain you will be riding on and the equipment the competion will be using. Hard tails have an advantage on climbing due to less energy loss, (some power absorbed by the rear shock) and weight. You can get full suspension with lockouts that will minimize this, but again, you are adding weight. (And cost!) I would see what the competition is using, and decide accordingly. I love my full suspension (especially the knees!) but I am strictly x-country doing technical single track. _________________
  5. Its not a bad idea to run a couple of different spyware detection programs, so in addition to AdAware, try Spy Sweeper as well. I find it catches some that AdAware misses. The initial installation and update are free, after that they ask you to subscribe for updates if you choose. http://www.spysweeper.com/ _________________
  6. Dave, Check out Ebay if you know what you want, I found an awesome Cannondale Raven (about $4k new) for $1100. Now if I can just find a good price on a Prophet...! _________________

  8. Not so painful right now, but the longer I wait, the worse its gonna get, and I have met the deductible for my insurance already for this year. If I wait until after the new year I start from scratch again... so its really best from a physical and fiscal point of view to get it over with. _________________

  10. Well, my doc informs me that I need to go in for bunion surgery on my right foot to solve some issues that it is causing. He says two weeks off my feet, six weeks before I am walking normally. The soonest they can schedule is mid November, and I want to be able to land on it for the Eloy Boogie at the end of the year. Anybody had to have this done? What kind of recovery period did you have? Really appreciate any info out there... damn, this sucks. _________________

  13. It removes also! You have one free spyware update when you download the trial version, after that they want you to subscribe to receive updates. _________________
  14. You might want to also try Spy Sweeper, there is a free version available and it found and removed all sorts of stuff that AdAware did not detect. It has gotten great reviews both on the web and in this forum as well! http://www.spysweeper.com/ _________________
  15. Yeah, like anyone would dare to use them against you... _________________
  16. Good god, I found there is a personal alcohol consumption level that makes Karaoke go from "I'd rather stick needles in my eyes" to "Dammit, give me that microphone!" I never thought that would be possible for me, sorry for any auditory distress I may have subjected you to. At least I didn't get banned!
  17. Yep, donate every 4 months when the blood truck comes to our data center, and have sponsored a cyclist and a marathon runner this year for cancer and leukemia research. I also support the Marine Mammal Center and Sea Shepard. (Gotta help our marine mammal cousins!) _________________
  18. Should have called me! I went right by the Jelly Belly factory on my way back from Lodi. Four jumps Saturday, including a ten way with Willy's dog, Otis the Pug, strapped in to his own tandem pouch on Willys stomach. _________________
