What's up Tex?  How are the feet today?  Getting that trench-foot cleared up yet?

Nada mucho, Sprint. My feet still look the same but I did get fitted for Superfeet insoles last night. Maybe that will help the situation? Spokes - HOLLA!!! Long time no see.

Hope the insoles help so that you don't end up with corns or something.  That would really be gross.

Would corns be that much worse than what i already have going on? ha. I need to stop wearing flip flops and cover these bad boys up.

Yeah, they are a lot worse from what I understand.  Take forever to heal and can reduce blood flow.  Even worse if you're diabetic...although I don't know of many TANners who are.

N0pe, not diabetic although I'm probably headed that direction with the amount of sugar that I eat on a daily basis.

1). Cut the refined sugar out of your diet as much as possible.
2). My older brother is diabetic.  It's not a fun life.

Carp, I don't know that I can. I'm wicked addicted to it...

Just focus on how much stronger you'll be for your IM without all the sugar.

Just think how pissy I'll be until Ironman without all the sugar...

That's going to happen anyway.  Or did it already?

Bcart: You're going to race a bike this weekend that you haven't finished putting together yet?

Yes. And I will be racing it on wheels that aren't mine. New post is on, just gotta wrap the bars tonight, and tune her for the other wheels. Ain't no thang.

Fair enough. 

Now, if you asked me to autocross in a friend's 911 Turbo vs. my little BMW, I would be a little antsy. I'm in my element with this bike stuff.

Don't fear the 911. They're not THAT great. OK they're pretty frickin' great but the MR2 with H&R Springs and Tokiko 5-ways could outhandle the 911 on the road course. Plus if you're autocrossing, turbo cars SUCK. Especiall ones with big turbos and itty bitty intakes.

What, you don't like to have a turbo spooling up right as you get into a corner?

You can.  It just really sucks for the first couple of weeks.  After that you get used to it and it's not so bad.

Hi Fish!!

If only ... I used to be the king of the heel/toe and could keep the turbo spooled through the corners but eventually, when you get to a certain point, you have no boost. Physics and such. ANd then you gotta wait for it to spool and then go fast. Turbo cars are not good for AutoX.

I always wanted to tack a crack at riding one of these .  Turbo motorcycle sounds interesting.

Psshhhhh...Please.

HIYA, A!

What's shakin' Sprint?

Sick since Saturday...teh suxxor. I am off to take Little Fish to the Ortho.

2 Goggs--> any message for Little Fish?
