Perhaps it is language thing, you being a foreigner and all! <br /><br />I shall sleep sound tonight, rather than if I had upset you- then I would've slept like a baby. (Waking up every two hours crying!)<br /><br />I exaggerate so I can add that lame joke!ChipSealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07095195723481694050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872160824662825730.post-9528853325752692622009-07-18T23:51:54.458-05:002009-07-18T23:51:54.458-05:00No hurt.

You were joking, and I knew it, so no sweat.<br /><br />If I seemed a little too serious there, it is I who should be sorry!RANTWICKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394479078513545568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872160824662825730.post-72019260663982364202009-07-18T22:58:55.961-05:002009-07-18T22:58:55.961-05:00"Now, as to your criticisms of my content: I ...<i>"Now, as to your criticisms of my content: I am discouraged to find that your definition of quality content does not include contests or little people."</i> -Rantwick<br /><br />I am alarmed by this statement, dear Rantwick. I fear that my attempt at humor has been taken seriously. I hope you would see the jab as friendly teasing.<br /><br />I have really enjoyed all of your posts! In my defense, I have highlighted only ten blogs on my blog page, and you are in no danger of being removed. (Nor is anyone else!)<br /><br />I hold you and your blog in highest regard, and I apologize if I have in any way hurt you.ChipSealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07095195723481694050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872160824662825730.post-67374210312735341052009-07-18T22:17:49.143-05:002009-07-18T22:17:49.143-05:00I agree with both Doohickie and Steve A this is no...I agree with both Doohickie and Steve A this is not an EGO blog... it is somehow cool to see some of the details about people's rides and roads.<br /><br />Now, as to your criticisms of my content: I am discouraged to find that your definition of quality content does not include contests or little people.<br /><br />Lastly, I am seriously disturbed that anyone, man, woman or ChipSeal, could possibly long for any more pictures of my butt.RANTWICKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394479078513545568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872160824662825730.post-32523279147672264462009-07-18T01:18:37.185-05:002009-07-18T01:18:37.185-05:00Steve, Steve, Steve. (ChipSeal shakes his head.)
...Steve, Steve, Steve. (ChipSeal shakes his head.)<br /><br />This is not a contest to produce the most blog entries! It should be about good quality content, like that found at Commute Orlando or Cycle SMART Dallas. (ChipSeal would have included Rantwick, but come on- a CAPTCHA contest? Racing dwarfs in flip-flops? Sock carpets? It makes me long for photos of his butt again!)<br /><br />Let me knock off two of them now. <br /><br />"I've never seen a Planet Bike Superflash with a black body before. Custom?"<br /><br />Sharp eyes there dude! I can answer that with one word: Sharpie!<br /><br />"When thirsty, has ChipSeal ever had an "accident" and drunk the dog repellent absent mindedly"<br /><br />No. In practice, I doubt I could get it to my lips without noticing. I have, in the heat of the moment, and while switching hands, had a few droplets of ammonia strike my face. I am a lot more cautious now. Go ahead, open a bottle of ammonia and sniff.<br /><br />The rest I am thinking of using for a post over at Beginning Bicycle Commuting, about what I carry around and why I chose the equipment I do for transportational cycling.ChipSealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07095195723481694050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872160824662825730.post-85546216711521159332009-07-18T01:14:47.954-05:002009-07-18T01:14:47.954-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.ChipSealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07095195723481694050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872160824662825730.post-60853017778472042142009-07-17T20:31:03.292-05:002009-07-17T20:31:03.292-05:00Now wait just a minute, big boy. There's a wea...Now wait just a minute, big boy. There's a wealth of info we want to hear just from a first perusal of these photo gems. Spread the posts out over time.<br /><br />A partial sampling: I've never seen a Planet Bike Superflash with a black body before. Custom? And which Cateye headlight is that? And details, please on the choice of that bag versus the racks that Doohickie favors. And the story behind chosing a triple chainwheel on that Giant instead of a double. And, when thirsty, has ChipSeal ever had an "accident" and drunk the dog repellent absent mindedly. And just how slick IS that wooden bridge when it gets wet. And, you get the idea.<br /><br />BTW, my compliments to the Ellis County road guys if these are representative of typical roads. It's good to see they haven't gone totally "ga ga" over double yellow lines as have their Tarrant County counterparts.Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872160824662825730.post-10436158808410261362009-07-17T11:49:18.140-05:002009-07-17T11:49:18.140-05:00Nice views.

This is NOT an "Ego Blog" post, it leads to better understanding of where ChipSeal's frame of reference originates.<br /><br />Think of it sort of like "Ginger's" for PM Summer.Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.com
