I'm making my way through Mad Men.

I REALLY love Netflix. No commercials. Episodes playing back-to-back. All TV should be like this.

I love Mad Men too. Currently I'm 1/4th of the way through season 2. It's awesome.

Today it seemed like everywhere I went on my morning ride, I was about 5 minutes behind a garbage truck.

Got my Nashbar bullhorns and put them on, removed my rear brake. Still need to wrap the bars and get a new cable for the front.

today I rode to the jogging track in a nearby neighborhood, ran, realized how terribly out of shape I am, and biked home

I also think I lined up a deal to sell a set of my omnomnoms and am now looking for a new crankset/bb, though I'm tempted to get all silly and try the 2012 omnomnoms

Today, I realize how long it has been since I have ridden my bike, and I became slightly depressed.

I shall cure this ASAP.

today i watched two people steal a rear wheel from an abandoned bike across the street from my house. when the guy finally noticed me in the window he's all "we're not stealing it, we're going to fix it" the bike has been there for a month now so i didn't really care.

strange thing was they didnt take the front wheel... so maybe they are trying to fix it.. who knows

This is the way I do things. Saving money by indecision.

Today I used shoe goo for the first time to rebuild the lugs on my Dominators.

Shoe goo is amazing.
