Today I paid off my new bike, and will be picking it up from the LBS tonight, then riding home! Stoked to be back on a bike, not stoked about the high of 54 and rain forecast for tonight.

Today my burrito turned into a taco salad within two bites. It was like magic.

I learned that the only new cantilevers I can put on my bike are Paul cantis.

Well it's a local bike shop. We have a bunch down here. Anyhow it's the act that counts and supporting local businesses FTW.

ran shop for the first time at my new job. polished my fuji frame on the in-between time of working on customer bikes that came in. its fun being in charge lol
i need to do a second polish session because im sure there is more dirt that can come off, being almost 3 years of riding w/o one.

Finished rebuildling my IRO. I had to file the canti posts down on my replacement fork in order to get the bolt tight enough to remove slop. It was equally terrifying.

Had a closer encounter with a raccoon in my backyard. Thought it was my cat, so went about the "Aww, come inside little guy," routine while making dumb cat noises. Flicked on the light and realized it was about the size of a nice dog, went "OH ****!!!" and it fell out of the tree and ran away.

The spring holes aren on the outside of the studs, opposite of practically every brake (thanks, Raleigh!). I have been looking for anything that doesn't use the spring tension holes. I didn't even think about SRAM, thanks

Today I got into an accident with another cyclist and almost jacked him in the face for being an idiot. Close call. 
But now my SLR is very scuffed up and I'm upset.

today a good friend of a friend came by to give me some tips on installing flooring.
he then proceeded to explain how the original[and in my opinion, destroyed] 3/4" 1940s hardwood that was under my old carpet could be restored. he starts mid next week for half the price of what i was going to spend on flooring in the first place.
im about to start putting up my ceiling and all the wallboard but i think i had too many tallboys this afternoon to be effective. good thing someone who knows what they are doing is coming over.
