ugh.. I've had a bad bike karma 24 hours.

-when I tried to leave work I realized I had a flat rear tire. replace tube, inflate, yadda yadda
-start riding, hear a new jingly noise. pull over, jiggle bike around trying to locate the source. can't find it. give up, keep riding.
-get to St. Claire and notice back wheel now has a lot of play in the hub. Get off, take out 15mm wrench. Tighten down hub locknut(?)
-get to my friend's place.. decide to try and locate jingly noise again. notice that a metal "sleeve" (spacer?) on the axle between the locknut and the outside "nut" (the part that contacts the inside of the dropout). I never noticed it before, but I think it's causing the noise.
-decide to remove rear wheel again to try and fix things. Put Park 15mm wrench on drive-side nut, apply force, wrench goes through nut like butter totally shearing through one "corner" or the nut.
-give up again, go drink beer and eat steak.
-ride home
-sleep
-go to ride to work.. notice back wheel needs more air, but I've already left the house (and my floor pump). Try to get more air in with my frame pump. Hate life.
-riding along bloor, resist pedals to slow down, pedals slip backwards half a rotation. wtf? check locknut, totally loose. do my best to tighten it using a combination of my hands and the edge of my wrench. use brake (which I might add needs serious adjustment.. guess I don't use it much) the rest of the way.

*sigh*
