stole your bike
Surgery yesterday, just got home. Didn't go exactly as expected--there was some unanticipated bleeding, so it took twice as long as they'd thought it would. Then I couldn't stop puking despite the barrage of anti-nausea meds in my IV so they wouldn't let me go home, and made me stay overnight in the hospital.
Relatively okay now, lots of drugs, should be back on the bike in about a week.

Broke a spoke on my Ksryium rear wheel last night. Snapped right at the nipple and I have a feeling it may be a real
hassle/expense to get fixed. I won't be too sad,
I've certainly gotten my money out of those wheels.

Huh- looks like a brief dust up on the Tech campus this morning. From the Texas Tech FB page:
"Around 9 a.m. (today), Texas Tech Police received a report of an individual carrying a rifle into the construction area of the former Business Administration Building. Following a thorough search of the area by Tech PD and Lubbock Police Department, the individual was located, and it was verified the individual was carrying an ROTC dummy rifle. The ROTC offices are located in the former BA building. Campus activities are returning to normal."

I commented to my mechanic about how I had always heard that no shops stock those spokes, they cost a ton and take forever to get. His response was that Ksyriums are among the most popular wheels out there and a good shop should be stocking them as a result.

Good luck on the recovery GA.
Did you opt for the 80 year old chain smoking blues-man voice or did you decide to keep your own?

Refer to my answer number 3) I like to have fun.
Also, what I left out was that it was a naked road trip with myself, a girl I was dating at the time, and another lady friend of ours cruising through the west Texas desert sans clothes. That info just wasn't pertinent to the story. See, I like to have fun.

fuggitivo solitario
went suit shopping now that i'm applying for jobs and couldn't really find anything. My criteria were: solid dark grey/charcoal, half-canvassed, size 38, and something less than $400. Found one that fit all four, except the suit looked ridiculously boxy on me.
oh the indignities, i might have to spend $160 or so to get a fused suit that fits. Either that or i have to get a navy colored suit, which i don't like as much as charcoal/dark grey.
who knew that being in shape (actually far from it) means you get penalized when shopping for cloth [/feigned indignity]
OTOH, got myself a pair of these.
Hopefully i'll wear them for the next 30 years

I didn't change the thread title. I'd like to voice my displeasure that it was changed.
I'm in a planning meeting. A bit physically uncomfortable. Deciding, in part, my career trajectory within this organization. So a bit more vulnerable than usual perhaps.
