Yesterday was the final Tour De Fat event for this year, in Austin. I went last year but this was my first time riding the parade. I hung out mostly behind one of the mobile sound bikes. With the tunes and the bells and the yelling…it was pretty loud for a bike ride. Highly recommended.
Lots more pics over here.

Massachusetts senator Paul Tsongas said:
“Nobody on his deathbed ever said, ‘I wish I had spent more time at the office.’”
So I took a day of vacation. Managed to keep it at 15 minutes on email and a short conference call. Not bad!
Last week in Waikiki
We were making some beeritas (half frozen margarita, half beer, discovered on a trip to Chicago of all places) yesterday. Our old Kitchenaid (model KSB5WH) blender stripped out the rubber coupling on the motor. Bummer. This was an expensive blender back when we bought it, before there was enough internet that you could read 100 reviews before any purchase.
A little googling and voila..the coupler is a 9701057 and can be ordered from these guys. There’s even directions for removing the old coupling (Hint: It’s reverse threaded, so think righty-loosey.)
