Oops, DNA, not DMV.....sorry....

So who is up for what Sunday morning? I'm meeting Mrs Duck at a ladies' afternoon party in Ashburn, but I'm still up for a morning ride, assuming the third Xmas party of the season the night before doesn't do us in. Can I tag along as the red-headed step child?
 
And BTW, I would love someone to tape me riding so I can see how stiff I am! Peter, can you go get that farkle???

Tea parties?  Bullet cams?  Our evolution is amazing.  
 
Sunday should be good for me.  A ride for pie is in order.  And yes, Dot, bullet cam or no bullet cam, Peter or no Peter, you are welcome.

We've been dis'd.  I represented.

Thanks -- now I don't have to be concerned with having a hangover Sunday and not being able to ride.  OTOH, do they have pies with lots of caffeine in them?

Secrets:
1) use firewire (not USB)
2) Bring in everything in NTSC-DVI format ... and then edit it.
3) Save your edited video twice.  First time with just the video (no soundtrack) ... second time add the music.  This allows the computer to not work so hard (meaning it won't "drop frames").
4) Save your final video to NTSC-DVI (never use a compressed format).
5) Use a separate program to shrink it down to a reasonable size (compress it).  Something like Windows Media Encoder (free from the Microsoft site).

Oh boy! What have I begun?

STN is going down this weekend. Get your ride details soon, people!

[hovmaven]

Sunday, it'll start in the 20's, so pick a start time.  High will be low 50's.

Where did that come from? This is from a guy who can't change his own oil?  I smell a problem.  Where is HOV?  Did SWR kidnap him for his disention in the split Region 6 post?  (NoVa is not a region - it is a thread) Should we expect a ranson demand in pie units?
We might pay up - but not without proof of life (I watch my tv - I know how this is done).

Out - Although playing in the cold with you guys sounds like a blast - I will be in CA for a few days on business.
 
Baby DNA is doing great - 36 weeks down and 4 to go.
Should be an exciting first week of Jan!

The Temple, Sunday, 0900.
 
We'll set the ride(s) there.  My ride will involve pie.  Pie.
 
Oh, and DMV, my daughter changes the oil.  Can Sunny do that?

[DNA]

Change the oil?  No.
Bite through the oil filter? Yes.
And he can eat a lap top.
Must taste like pie...

I will be playing paintball with my son.  He requested to be on the team opposite of me so I guess I've done my job as a parent.

[hovmaven]

I have two suggestions, cover and concealment.
 
Leave the electrics for Stacey.  
 
Sunday, 0900, The Temple.

[Joey Stalin]

Okay!

[hovmaven]

Should be low 30's at 9:00.  We'll see 50's by noon.  

[Riceman]

Yep, after Holiday (Christmas for the traditionalist out there) Cards are done, I think I will knock off the cob webs and take the baby for a strol myself.  

[Joey Stalin]

nice board.
