says Court, on another thread, on this fine December BADWEB day: ...Now, as a pal immersed in artic weather, i command you to take the highly looktractive Denise and dispatch yourself for a ride in your warm clime! says me, thus, in return: COMMAND? well since you put it THAT way. look for pix tonight in the Tale Section. what to do? sheesh, grab the Highly Looktractive Denise and go ride! the pix are being edited as we speak, so stand your bad self by...

Jerry, I'm really looking forward to these pictures! Oh, wait, I just re-read Court's command--maybe he meant you should go ride your bike! Never mind. rt | ||

Hurry up already! | ||

 so Court, i may be Ferris Bueller and all, but even I normally need a little advance notice for a day off. i mean, it's almost Christmas: what if it's too cold??? (Message edited by jerry_haughton on December 21, 2004) | ||

 a mile from the 'Dome and we turned up Hwy. 155 (affectionately nicknamed "The Bostrom" by Arlene 'RLean' Sabatino at Oktoberfast 2003 ). let the games begin. (Message edited by jerry_haughton on December 21, 2004) | ||

I RECOGNIZE THAT THUMB! | ||
| Jerry_haughton |
that thumb sure do get around, don't it???  ...and about another 20 seconds later. Court, we pondered where to ride this afternoon at your behest. the choices were nearly endless, but in the end we decided to signify our unwavering solidarity to you and the rest of our BADWEB brothers and sisters who are already locked up tight in winter's harsh, icy wrath by illustrating that we, too, have to deal with persistent frigid, artic-like conditions, even here in SoCalifornia.

 Dino, Greenhorn Summit was as gnarly as we've ever seen it. (Message edited by jerry_haughton on December 21, 2004) | ||
| Jerry_haughton |
 imagine blazing THIS with a bunch of exuberant Oktoberfast'ers???  Court, the stuff we endure in your name. (Message edited by jerry_haughton on December 21, 2004) | ||

 on the other hand, this very corner gave us our first graphic evidence of the cold, remorseless brutality of our California winters. (Message edited by jerry_haughton on December 21, 2004) | ||
| Jerry_haughton |
 and here we are... (Message edited by jerry_haughton on December 21, 2004) | ||
| Jerry_haughton |

| Jerry_haughton |

| Jerry_haughton |

 Denise worked REALLY hard on buildin' you a snow dude, but at exactly the CRITICAL moment, JUST as D was getting ready to hoist the Dude up onto the saddle for a photo, well, the Dude went dud. (Message edited by jerry_haughton on December 21, 2004) | ||
