WOW. You're going from turtle to apollo saturn rocket speed here. Better buckle up. No lie.
Wait a minute before you go running off and picking up one of these potentially pricey cards; what speakers are you planning to hook up to the machine? I have to ask this as considering you're coming off of a PI machine, onboard audio has come a LONG way since that time. If you're just going to be using your old run of the mill desktop stereo speakers/ headphones and no plans of expanding to surround audio, than there's absolutely no need. The performance is parallel in that aspect.

Just got a new HD LG tv / monitor that has surprisingly good audio, a fairly decent headset, and plan to pipe my sound out through an amp into my home speakers when all I want to do is rack the tunes and jam on my guitar.
A better than average sound card won't be a waste here.

went back to my high-end LBS, asked for a 1/2x3/32 chain:
"how many speeds?"
"uh...one."
"then you mean 1/2x1/8."
"no, really i just need a 3/32. it's for my fixed commuter." then showing him the panel i tore off the box from the last chain.
"fine (rolls eyes), i guess." finally handing me a chain from behind the counter...
......why. so. difficult.

Yesterday I found out I need a new headset cuz mine got damaged in shipping, and my chainring and cog are worn down to the point of needing replaced. I'm debating just getting a new bike, or buying a frame and building it with a combination of stuff I've already bought and things I need.
Last night I averaged 19.85 mph over my 7 mile commute and peaked at 26.5, running 46/16. Not bad, especially after working for 13.5 hours in a kitchen.
Today I'm surrounded by a sea of drunken ******** wearing green and smelling of cheap booze. Kill me now.

Because you asked for the wrong thing, then argued with him about it.

yes. typo......fixed it.
funny part is i was warned about the shop, but it's the only bike shop w/ actual bike stuff out right now.
the owner likes to -tell- people what they need, rather than suggest.

You can skip the pitch info when buying chains, BTW, unless you're shopping for chain on a bike older than your grandmother.

Went for lots of miles of riding last two days with a friend; found out we are going to be co-hosting a bit of a touring ride in a month and that we're setting up a mountain bike/CX-style race.

So first I did this:
https://app.strava.com/rides/5320708
Really tough. Held on until mile 16.5, then went with a group of slower guys. Pretty much every guy there was in their 30's; I was the youngest guy there by far.
Then I lifted weights for an hour.
Now I don't want to move.

Rained in; spent some quality time on my kinetic trainer in front of the TV. Had no idea the new season of south park started; associating the TSA w/ the toilet = genius.
