Bike babe, classy ride, great rack, nice architectural lines, and fall colors on a beautiful day.
Been some time putting the wheels back on, but the machine is rolling as it should. Back to building and pushing at Riehl Industries. The tiny snowball is growing.
Insert rack joke here...
This rack of lamb has such a nice flavor. A delightful mixture of herbs gives it a simple yet wonderful taste, while the mint yogurt sauce is a perfect tangy complement to the savory lamb.

ENGLISH
The rack railway was inaugurated on 6 October 1892, and it soon became the most popular railway in Catalonia, taking its place among the country's most prized traditions. Its popularity was enhanced by the many processions - some 200 per year in its heyday - that used it on their way up to Montserrat.
The train was an improvement on the stagecoaches of the day in several respects: it could carry more passengers, more frequently, and in a shorter time. It cut the journey time between Monistrol station and the monastery to a mere one hour five minutes.
But the greatest novelty for the time was that the rack railway and its link with the Ferrocarrils del Nord meant that the return journey between Barcelona and Montserrat could be accomplished in a single day. The railway also had a dynamising effect on the economy of the surrounding area. In Monistrol an entire district -Viserta- prospered and grew in its shadow.
The twenties were the rack railway's golden age. But it was not until 1947, during celebrations for the enthronement of the Mare de Deu, that it was to carry its highest number of passengers: a total of almost 274,000.
Throughout the first half of the rack railway's life it was being constantly expanded. However, in 1931 the operating company suffered its first financial setback, which also left its mark on the railway line. In the years that followed including the period of the war, the railway had its ups and downs until a serious accident on 25 July 1953 signaled the start of its decline. The line was eventually closed for good on 12 May 1957.
The old Montserrat rack railway made its last journey in 1957, but the dream of seeing it back in action one day was never lost.
During the 1980s this desire, coupled with the increase in visitors and consequent congestion of vehicles in the natural park area, led the Generalitat's Transport Authority and the FGC to commission various studies and alternatives with a view to resolving the problem.
This culminated in 1991 with the drawing up of a project that would form the basis of the current railway. The project was presented in 1999 and then updated and adapted in 2000 following two serious inundations in June of that year.
In July 2001 work began on the new rack railway, which already had five trains earmarked for the service.
Finally, on 11 June 2003, the new rack railway was opened. With this the dream of recovering this means of transport, kept alive since its closure back in 1957, came true at last.
The Montserrat rack railway, the second in Catalonia (after the Vall de Núria), with its state-of-the-art facilities and technology, is light years away from that first steam train, which chugged its way up to the monastery in 1892.

El cremallera se inauguró el 6 d'octubre de 1892 y en poco tiempo se convirtió en el ferrocarril más popular de Catalunya, formando parte de las tradiciones del país. A esta popularidad contribuyeron las numerosas romerías (unas 200 anuales en la época de más apogeo) que lo utilizaban para subir a Montserrat.
El tren suponía varias ventajas con relación a las diligencias de la época: permitía transportar un mayor número de viajeros y con más frecuencia, así como reducir el tiempo del trayecto. Desde la estación de Monistrol hasta el monasterio, se llegaba en una hora y cinco minutos.
La gran revolución de la época fue que el cremallera, enlazando con los Ferrocarriles del Norte, permitía ir y volver de Montserrat desde Barcelona en un solo día. El cremallera es convirtió, asimismo, en un dinamizador económico para su zona de influencia. En Monistrol, un barrio entero, el de Viserta, vivía y creció al amparo del cremallera.
La década de los veinte resultó la de más esplendor para el cremallera, aunque fue en el año 1947, el de les fiestas de entronización de la Virgen, cuando transportó más viajeros, casi 274.000.
La primera mitad de la vida del ferrocarril cremallera estuvo marcada por constantes ampliaciones, hasta que en 1931 la compañía sufrió una primera crisis financiera que afectó a la línea. A partir d'aquel momento y con la Guerra de por medio, el cremallera tuvo sus más y sus menos, hasta un desafortunado accidente acaecido el 25 de julio de 1953, que marcó el declive de la línea y su cierre definitivo, el 12 de mayo de 1957.
El antiguo cremallera de Montserrat hizo su último viaje en el año 1957, pero la ilusión de verlo circular de nuevo nunca se perdió.
Este deseo, junto con el incremento de visitantes y la consiguiente congestión de vehículos en el ámbito del parque natural, propiciaron que en los años 80 la Dirección General de Transportes de la Generalitat y Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya llevaran a cabo varios estudios y alternativas para resolver el problema del transporte.
En el año 1991 FGC redactaba un proyecto que sería la base del actual cremallera, que se presentó públicamente en 1999 y que fue actualizado y adaptado en el año 2000 como consecuencia de las intensas lluvias habidas en la zona en junio de aquel mismo año.
En julio del 2001 se iniciaron las obras del nuevo cremallera, teniendo ya adjudicadas cinco unidades para darle servicio.
Finalmente, el 11 de junio de 2003 s'inaugura el nuevo cremallera, convirtiéndose así en realidad el sueño de recuperar este medio de transporte, que se había mantenido vivo desde su cierre en 1957.
Este cremallera, el segundo existente en Catalunya (después del de Vall de Núria), tiene poco que ver, por lo que a equipamientos y tecnología se refiere, con aquel ferrocarril de vapor que subió por primera vez al monasterio en el año 1892.

A westbound Union Pacific auto rack train passes the railfan park in Rochelle, Illinois, on a summer evening.
I’ve had a few people ask what my basement server rack looks like. Since I’m about to reconfigure the rack, I thought that this would be a good time to document a bit of the “before” and “after”. This is obviously the “before”.
The reconfiguration will include replacing a cranky, ten year old Tripp Lite SmartPro 700RM UPS (the grey device at the very bottom of the rack) with a pair of brand new, slim line APC Smart-UPS 750VA units. I also need to find room to stuff a second Power Macintosh G4 and an Xserve in there somewhere.
Much to my chagrin (and silly pleasure) this photo has been featured on several geektastic sites over the past week or so, including:
Thanks for the linkage, folks.

Ok this store is the absolute best!! After getting up the nerve, I spent about 45min in the store and absolutely love being there. I was so nervous but no one cared. I tried on a bunch of shoes and dug through racks and racks of dresses looking for a cute holiday cocktail dress.
Wish I had gotten a better pic of my outfit, but this is all I have. I was going for a more professional woman out for lunch look. Black pencil skirt from INC. Banana Republic pink cardigan, Hanes Silky Sheer tights, Amazon patent flats, Allegra K peacoat.
