I've got a big meeting starting at 9a (PST), and I've been working away since quite early to get stuff developed for it - didn't get to listen to the game, just sporadic text updates from a live blog.
holy cow.

Even "WE" bandwagoners could enjoy that game. I get to still be a fan for another week.

The next door neighbor Khan would be more useful; Hank has a push mower, Khan has a riding mower.

But Hank is a lawn genius. I would trust Hank much more.



This one would work pretty well. Except for that part where it flips over and explodes.

yeah, it's a field adjacent to an elementary school, and probably gets mowed 2x/year. Never watered.

I'm watching one of the longest tennis matches ever. Ridiculous. It's 6:28 or something so far. Longest of all time is 6:33.

It's 31-31 in the 5th set. They just keep trading serve. I would go ride MTB, but I've got a really bad crick in my neck.

I jumped up so quickly when the ball hit the back of the net I sent my laptop flying. It finally booted back up but I have a white shaded band running down the far right side of my screen and I don't care.

Onward to the knock out rounds.

I think my right (rear) sram rival shifter broke today. wtfff. It just goes right past the click. I have to take it apart a little later and see if it is just the cable, but I don't think so. I'm going to contact sram and see if I can get a replacement. I doubt it because this was a neutral support bike, but it seems silly that the shifter would break for no reason.

Now if Lance can win the TdF all will be right in the world.

My left knee hurts. Odd. I can tell it's from this morning's session on the trainer.

This tennis match is still going on. 41-40 in the 5th set.

The 5th set has taken 5 hours so far. I'd kinda like to see how this ends, but I've got errands to run before the Germany game starts.

This year, more so than most years, I've been really really impressed at how well the unseeded players are playing at wimbledon.

Switched the brifter on my race bike with my fuji. Shifting is fixed, but I'm still dumbfounded as to why/how the other one broke.
