settlement came through

I got a call from Allstate insurance today.  I was offered a settlement for my injuries, and it was a goodly sum.  I was pretty happy about it to say the least, props to adjuster arbetman from their north Chicago branch.  Although I was hoping to use this money to pay for my training, since I am beginning graduate school and my brother is getting married in Vietnam next December, most of the money is going to travel and moving expenses. 
However, I did attain a touring bike (pics coming  soon) I've named it black beauty.  It's a 56cm Raleigh competetion GS.  Not sure on the year (think early 70s), but it's in pretty good condition.  All I have to do to get it riding again is tune up the deraileurs and get the seatpost loose (damn thing is stuck like a cow in a choir loft).
In other news, I rode the Janurary critical mass a few weeks ago on jolene, and it was damn cold.  I've still been doing at least 5mi training a day, and I'm doing the Feb critical mass next week, if anyone wants to join me.
