Today I got out of work and went to unlock and realized I did this:

Or how about leaving the key in the lock? Done that. (My lock will not engage unless you insert the key first. A good idea, so that you don't lock the bike first, then discover you don't have the key with you. But I think you're supposed to take the key with you when you walk away from the "locked" bike)

I do have two framesets though, so selling both of them, and getting another caad or something comparable doesn't seem too hard.

Benched my body weight today for 2 sets of 3. Squatted my body weight for 3 sets of 3. Happy to have reached that benchmark.
I guess I have a seized/cross threaded cog on my budget wheelset. I couldn't get it off with a chain whip or the rotafix method, LBS broke a chain whip and still couldn't get it off. 17t fo life I guess.

I once watched a guy lock up his bike and I had to inform him that he hadn't actually locked the bike to the rack.

I got the lesser saphenous vein removed from my left leg with a laser. This is the last one of 4. I am glad to be done with it. Now all I have to do is wear this stupid stocking for 2 weeks and keep my hear rate below 125 or so while I ride. Just as well as my fixie is at the powder coaters.
Ride safe,
Joe

After a week of interviewing and discussion, today I received an official job offer to wrench in Alaska next summer. I'll sign the contract after the holidays. So stoked! Guess I won't be finishing school any time soon.
