Thanks dude! Here's how she turned out in the end!

Big thanks to Keith for getting that wheel together in such a short timespan after I embarrassingly bought a 36 rim to go with a 32 hub... which I guess I should get back from you at some point, maybe I'll grab a rim and try my hand at wheelbuilding with that hub/those spokes?

With the old one the spokes are already properly laced, so re-building with a new rim will be somewhat easier. Learning to build yer first wheel with a Deep-V is prolly a good choice. It would be pretty hard to do any real damage if you mess up a little. Having the spokes all pre-stressed will help as well.

Call me The Breeze
Someone stole a couple blinkies from my bike, right outside the shop. Probably the same kids that like to blow my air horn every day as they walk past...
All I know is next time a ball gets kicked into my yard, I'm keepin it.

Story time:
So some guy walks into the shop the other day and immediately asks where the hampsters are.
"Sorry, what?"
"The hampsters. It smells like hampsters in here. You guys don't keep hampsters here?"
"Err, no ... not that I'm aware of."
"Oh weird, 'cause it definitely smells like hampsters."
Tadah!

Nice job with Lucy, Matt - she's gorgeous (can't freaking wait for my Rob Roy group buy).
+1 for the Superflash, awesome light for the dollar value IMO. I've had it stop working on me once in some serious rainstorm coming down the Niagara Escarpment, otherwise it's been faultless. I bought another soon after
I had my MTB taken from my backyard one Sunday afternoon last year, it was locked frame/rear wheel, but not TO anything. Anyway, they dragged it across the street I later found out, and took my saddle (not the seatpost though). I had a saddle bag on the bag with some basic tools/repair kit - get this, they took the tools and kit, all but the patch glue and LEFT the saddle bag on the floor with the bike. WTF?! There are some 'special' people in my old area... special like crackheads, that is.
I'm just super glad I bought an OnGuard lock the week before, as my supercycle piece of crap fell apart on a ride.

For the light I'm loving the double LED turtles, and they were selling extra batteries at the display at MEC. I got two red for the back and will getting some new white ones for the front.
Nice looking ride there Matt!

well, i wouldn't really compare the theft of my lights to an entire bike. It was the pettiness of stealing a $4 and $9 light that actually bothered me. like, if you really wanted them that bad just buy your own. don't touch my bike! and my front light had a little toy attached to it that i got in Tokyo 
i want knog frogs. You has them? Good? Bad? Or should i get another standard blinky from mec?

they stole the battery but not the light? a conscientious thief? Right now he's at home with his ill-gotten battery, writhing his hands repeating "take what you need, but need what you! mwahahahaha!"
...no?
anyways, i ended up getting one of these for the front and one of these for the back. I didn't know they made a "turbo" turtle.
then i ate an entire gandhi roti in one sit. so bad but so good.

Someone popped the hood to my Honda in the summer and stole my alternator cap. Even if things are locked up, you have to be vigilant in this city. Sucks kinda.

Someone took apart the solar path lights in my neighbors' yard and stole the bulbs the other evening.

a lot of clients at my work are "crack heads", so i hear the other side of the story, but it's still hard for me to reconcile the two perspectives. for example, there's one homeless guy who got run over as a kid so he has a brain injury etc etc, but he kept trying to bring his "friend's" bikes around here... the last one we saw had a kid's seat on it, which really upset me and the other staff. he's been locked up in the don for a few months now.

Seriously though, as high-larious as the situation is, I figure what someone does to an inanimate object in privacy is their own business. I mean, me and my inflatable sheep have had a lot of good times together. Speaking of eff'ed up situations... https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7096814.stm

The batteries on the Frog Knogs are the same as the MEC Turtles (CR2032, replaceable). Ebay them for $1 each, NIB energizers. The Lifu batts that come with the knog/turtles are garbage. But they will last for a bit before dying.

These are depressing stories and I think to myself "Thank god I live in Canada" but then there are stupid things that happen here too, like that confused and non-English speaking man who is tased and dies in Vancouver airport:

I feel that if there hadn't been someone nearby taping the encounter, this story would have gone-by unnoticed. Sucks.

Yeah being a sex offender and humping a piece of steel are two different things. For shame britain, for shame... I mean give me booze (just like this dude) and an oversize seat tube...
And those tasers... they're being used in a preemptive fashion, before signs of real danger. Just like Irak. Very sad.
