All moved into the new joint and back online. However, the last tenants made a point of never cleaning so we have our work cut out for us. On the up side, the back balcony is bigger than we expected and as such... we got a kick ass bbq - IMHO anywho. That said, there will undoubtedly be some BBQ, beers 'n bikes at the new diggs before long.
And now for the bad news... WTF!!!! My seething rage is about to catch my desk on fire.

Well, then again, I guess that's par for the course on that bike.

Pretty good idea, I've never seen it before.

Those wheels make me throw up in my mouth and/or baby jesus cry, I don't care how good they potentially are.
