cleaned my apartment cause my mom is coming in town tomorrow. i had a lot of cleaning to do!

...tossed the fixie, put on a helmet, lots of spandex, a stupid smile, and went for a pleseant ride on a hybrid bike with big knobby tires, full suspension, and a shock-absorbing seat post.

Cried.
Got a mountain bike. (free)
Rode my geared bike.
Rode my fixed geared bike.
Volunteered at the bike co-op, including fixing a coaster brake.
Listened to my friend talk too much.

Now I'm here and things are back to normal.

lay on the couch pissed off about the money i wasn't making because i threw out my back.

YOU SURE PICKED A GOOD DAY NOT TO WORK, BIKEFORUMS

Lucid dreaming
Espresso
Rainy commute
More espresso + really good day at work
Liquor store
Home for a 20min stop
Had 2 nice biker girls teach me to play Mah Jong while I drank some of the beer
Home again, check to see if bikeForums is up...

Post this.

Did a half day at the shop.
Raced at the velo.

Tight fcking day.

nothing much different than usual. worked, rode all afternoon, ate a bunch at home and played around on the internet...which mostly invovled hitting refresh a lot. and the "stumble" button.

Programmed. sigh.

26 deliveries, 1 triple rush, 3 rushes, 4 oversized, waited a total of 45 minutes paid, and probably rode around 60-70 miles. Drank some too.

hah. 42 deliveries, numerous super hots...no break till 4:30 pm... 6 beers in the park. oh, and i think i'm finally and truly understanding black sabbath.

and i think i'm finally and truly understanding black sabbath.
thank god someone did something productive around here!

Best

hey, thanks. i just meant , you know. .... i've been a fan for years but one day it all comes together: the songs you've heard for years, over and over again...they just click. or some obscure lyric jumps out at you and makes TOTAL ****ING SENSE TO YOU. right at that moment. of course riding very fast at the same time maybe helps...

yeah - i have been on a rediscovery kick lately of sludgey proto-metal. Sabbath took the cake. Their first four albums contain some of the best riffs and sounds of any music from that era.
Incredible.
"The Wizard" alone, damn. I first heard that in its entirety in CO while riding roads to nowhere and drinking a few beers at my old job. It still remains as great now as it did then.

actually did some work.... and wasted more time than anyone should on youtube

got some task accomplished on my "to do list"

Showed up and shilled for Whitey.

For shame, you've turned your back on the velodrome..

wish i'd stayed in bed.

worked, worked, and then, worked some more, YUCK

Realized what crack bikeforums is. Now I'm both a junkie and I know it.

Did work at work. Things are back to normal now.

watched world cup
raced at the 'drome

still early and having coffee. it's gorgeous in s.f. it's a recovery day for me, but yesterday:

on the geared, started in bernal heights, up the central peaks, out to the sunset, up to golden gate park, thru the haight, deboce triangle then back home thru the mission to get ready for work.

then fixed commute to job downtown. 8 hrs. of hustlin'. then back to the neighborhood, took a different street and found a bike shop (heavy metal) and another muddy waters coffee joint sitting right behind the nearby safeway (29th/tiffany).

yeah!

I'm new here (kinda, I'm an expert lurker), but I'll bite:
Rode three miles to school and sat through 2 very boring summer classes. Then, road "downtown" and got some coffee, and a CD for the rekkid store. Then road back home, after picking up some sushi for lunchin and started lurking here..

then I posted somfin.. it's 98º outside is all I really learned today, frickin' college.

I went to west town bike collective and learned bottom bracket overhaul (thanks Kisha!). Rode around aimlessly all day, looked for jobs, starting drinking at 9:30pm, chain smoked. All the usual ****.

I can quit anytime I want to, okay man.

Stripped a Motebecane Metropolis 3spd, that I bought at a cop auction for $5, and converted it to SS.
I bought the bike for the full-cover chainguard.
Now that it's done I'll start looking for another bike....16 and counting...

Awesome, dude! thanks for the beer!

I worked, did some collective bike fixin' for way too many hours, late night ride to Hyde Park. Overall productive day.

ahhh dueling threads! I waited for the North ave bus for an hour went to Yojimbo's to pick up one of my bikes that was sick and needed some love and then tried to teach myself photoshop for the n-teenth time...to no avail.

photoshop is the easiest graphics program ever. what are you stuck on?

I don't want to hijack the thread, but I've been trying to do some of the tutorials on the Computer Arts Projects website and I get fluster when things don't turn out right

rode my ss in the morning, then commuted to work on it.

tried to log in repeatedly, no dice.

rode home after work. took a nap.

went on a community bike ride.

ate italian ice.
