I have just not had the opportunity to post lately.
Update for those of you who've read the "ghetto stories" thread, I'm in my new place now, and still getting situated, forever organized, figuring out just how much stuff can fit in my one room apt. and what should go in storage.
Spent last weekend at two swap meets, got some cool stuff. Down to three bikes (attempted simplification of my life), my coaster brake, my banana seat bike, and my Cannondale, which I'm still trying to sell. Rebuilding a fixed gear road bike currently. (Schwinn LeTour)
Anyway, got a bunch of cool stuff at the swap meets. Two free frames (both girls, but still cool, and hey, I guess I could pull it off), a black two speed (originally 2 speed kickback) Schwinn frame from the 40's, and a blue and white Schwinn Spitfire cruiser from the 50's. Also got two big boxes of assorted new forks for $10 (approximately 50 forks), some seats, cranks, stems...I think I spent more money on food those days!
Debating doing a mohawk again.
Getting ready for my summer of commuting a few days a week (if laziness doesn't set in) about 3-4 miles one way. That's not to work, though.
Love my new place.
Stressed but happy.
Almost have a B.A. Almost..... !!!
Becoming a poet?
Sometimes my bike sleeps next to me. We love each other.
Why am I telling you this?
