And today I had some ******** drive past and throw change at me. Not once. Not twice. Three times. On the last one I just started sprinting all out after them. Almost had em too, until they blew a stop sign and started going over the speed limit to get away. The first two times I was with the lady too. Thats what really pissed me off.

Today I went to San Francisco and returned my Chrome shoes and Mission Workshop Sanction.
They both have awesome stores, and awesome people working there. Chrome gave me a huge discount on all purchases for the day (I got an "artist series" shirt), and a free beanie! Mission Workshop was nice as well! I got a look at their messenger, really thinking about picking one up sometime.
The real "news" is that I learned the Chrome store in SF will custom make you a bag with whatever colors you want, even sewing in patches for you
Custom bags aren't a feature on their website, right? Is this exclusive to the retail store?
Lol, just saw the Chrome shoes are 10 and 10 1/2... sigh.

At least... this is how my brother taught me how to ride, and crash.

Today I rode my "townie" bike and ran an errand and ran into my cousin, old high school friend and my good friend and her daughter in a span of 20 minutes haha.
And right now watching No Country for Old Men.

Today I bought a Bell wireless bike computer for the Earl. $20 at Target. I'm curious to see how well it will hold up compared to my $60 Cateye on the Cannondale. It should be fine.

Got my foot stuck in a 'toeverlap' turn coming off the Williamsburg bridge. Fell over and ate it in front of a cute girl on a Vespa. That was awesome.

Today I went for a ride with my wife's gdi2; 48cm is way to small for me; was half way on my usual route back home and I had to turn around as I couldn't stand the crampness anymore. Along the ride I noticed many things changed since the last time I was here in the bay area; the most cool imo was the county swapped out all streetlamps with LED versions.
On another note I'm totally stoked that my wife totally helped me score a $5000 vacuum tube amplifier (a mcintosh mc275) for free today. Apparently the original owner accidentally had something heavy fall on it with the protective cage on and completely broke off one and cracked one of the large vacuum tubes and 2 of the smaller ones at the socket; thought it was toast and put it outside in hopes someone can make use of it/ cannibalize it. My wife sent me pictures and it's a shame the original owner doesn't know the carrot trick to remove bulbs from sockets... I sure feel lucky that I fitted my porteur rack to her via condotti otherwise she wouldn't have had a chance lugging that 50lbs brick back home. She added that she totally looked like a hipster with that thing tied down in front of her!
