Re: PESO - Snow Day
Yes, loose sand is the problem because they do eternal temp repairs by filling the potholes with soil. Iv'e side-slipped a couple of times but haven't actually come off yet. Like you, I more of less know where the problems are but I don't ride that fast. We now have some sections where there are more potholes than road. The smaller municipalities just can't generate enough income to do the maintenance properly (mostly because there is a culture of non-payment among certain section of the population it is never followed up for fear of losing votes). I have also thought about converting my road bike to a TT bike with more robust wheels and bigger treaded tyres new handlebars. I seldom use the drops in any case.

Nice gallery, Mark.

Check Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_%28genus%29 7dd04701: A representative of the Brassicaceae family. Possibly the same genus as winter cress (Barbarea). 7dd04721: Can't be of much help. :-( 7dd05001: I suspect another kind of lily, based on the number of petals and general look, but I'm not sure. 7dd05004: Not a heather.

My daughter bought my wife an orchid for mother's day about five years ago. It bloomed for a couple of weeks, then faded. It didn't seem to be doing anything for quite some time after that, so I repotted it in a bigger pot with some orchid mix soil -- which is more like wood chips than soil. It had hardly any root. Nursed it along for a couple of years, and it started to grow and send out roots, but it never bloomed. Grace knocked it off the table once when she was playing, and it spilled out on the floor. I stuck it back in the pot, and again it was dormant for a while but eventually started growing new leaves again. Still no blooms. I fertilized it a wee bit now and then as directed and watered it sparingly as directed without success. Eventually, I threw a handful of Miracle Gro potting soil on top of the wood chips and watered it in. That seemed to spur the growth a bit. Last week it finally bloomed. It was so long ago that it last bloomed, I had even forgotten what color it was. It's a common variety I'm sure.

Enablement times two: 2 Tamron SP lenses
I could have sworn I was nearing the end of my lens acquisition phase, but I've now got two lenses inbound that are real doozies: The first is a mere $50 purchase: Tamron 01A SP 35-80 F/2.8-3.8 This is a lens that flies under the radar, but those that have it, LOVE it (and many who had it, wish they had it back). http://www.adaptall-2.org/lenses/01A.html Sample images from Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=Tamron%2001A The other lens is also a Tamron SP (that needs no introduction): The Tamron 60B SP 300mm F2.8 http://www.antiqueauto.org/assets/60B-CL-EDITED.png It looks to be in far better condition than most I've seen for sale and it comes with BOTH matching long lens Tamron TCs, the 1.4x and the 2.0x. These are highly regarded TCs and will give me an effective 420mm f/4 and 600mm f5.6 (or effective FOVs of 450mm, 630mm, and 900mm on an APS-C camera. I'm especially looking forward to see what it can do on the K-5II and K-01 for astrophotography. (with the K-01 I've got Live View focusing). This guy's work gives me high hopes for the lens: http://home.interlynx.net/~bxmas/rpcDigitalImages.htm Other 60B images on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=Tamron%2060B They both could be here Friday (Monday at the latest).

Re: PESO - Snow Day
I just read about a group of bikers in Marquette, Michigan developing trails specifically for 'mountain biking in the snow on 'Fat Tire' bikes. (Salsa - http://salsacycles.com/bikes/2014_mukluk_ti is one of several bike companies producing Fat Tire bikes). Looks like a heavy duty mountain bike with the exception they have 4 tires (2.6X3.8).

PESO At Last!
My daughter bought my wife an orchid for mother's day about five years ago. It bloomed for a couple of weeks, then faded. It didn't seem to be doing anything for quite some time after that, so I repotted it in a bigger pot with some orchid mix soil -- which is more like wood chips than soil. It had hardly any root. Nursed it along for a couple of years, and it started to grow and send out roots, but it never bloomed. Grace knocked it off the table once when she was playing, and it spilled out on the floor. I stuck it back in the pot, and again it was dormant for a while but eventually started growing new leaves again. Still no blooms. I fertilized it a wee bit now and then as directed and watered it sparingly as directed without success. Eventually, I threw a handful of Miracle Gro potting soil on top of the wood chips and watered it in. That seemed to spur the growth a bit. Last week it finally bloomed.

PESO - Doomed
In one corner of the (rather ugly) Penn medical campus is a lovely pocket park, with many trees, paths, and a pond. It is the highlight of my walk to and from work, and an oasis for many who work in the area. Alas, to Penn, it is land without a building on it, and they have been nibbling at the edges of the park for decades--it's about 50 feet smaller than it was when I arrived 32 years ago. Another building is about to go up, and this scene saddened me on my way to work last week. By the time I went home, the 60-year-old gingko and hemlock were gone (along with a huge, wonderful holly tree out of the frame), and only a few logs and a pile of wood chips remained. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=17629070size=lgd or http://gallery.photo.net/photo/17629070-lg.jpg Rick -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

I just purchased two new old-stock still boxed Aux. sheet-feeders for my Apple Laserwriter 8500 for £50 from an outfit in Luton, north of London. They suggested I use Parcel2Go for a quote on getting it to my home in Washington state. The two units taped together total 9.2 cu feet but only weigh 10 Kg. The least expensive shipper is quoting me £141, the most £512. But these are 3+ days shipments, much faster than I need. I am only interested in getting these intact within the next month or two. These sheetfeeters are already almost 20 years old, and a great find, just an ocean away. Could one of you make some suggestions on ways to cross the pond in a more reasonable manner?
