And yeah the weather is amazing today. My knees are feeling mangled but with weather like this the fact that they're still attached is good enough for me. I don't think the weather is gonna be this good again until March...

I never went back to AE. It was a fun time, but I think I'd rather either ride in my basement or do a spinning class (i.e. have someone yell at me to work harder). But it was a cool event.

Seriously I've been out of work since June after finishing my Masters so no UI for me and its getting a little thin. But it is nice to pooch off for the day and go disc golfing or what have you, though. It was amazing on the island today.
But the life of poverty/freedom is coming to an end 'cause it looks like I'll be working in Ottawa for the next 9-12 months. If anyone knows anyone interested in an inexpensive two bedroom apartment (I'm talking $680 w/o parking + utilities - I think parking's $30) for Dec 1 let me know. I'll be giving notice on Monday. Second floor of a low rise with quiet neighbours at the intersection of two bike lanes (jones and Dundas) in the fortunately overlooked but amazing east end. Walking distance to amazing coffee, amazing chicken shwarma and a beer store. Right in between LIttle Chinatown and little India. PM me with any questions you may have.

Take over. If it was a couple of months, I'd sublet but for a year, that's a little excessive. I'm paying month to month now with no lease, so as long as the person isn't a total freak, the owner would likely be okay with it.

Hey, not sure if this counts for self-promotion, but I'm selling my Pista on craigslist. Have a look see.
I'm interested to know what you guys think of the price, if anyone cares to comment. Or buy it...

Hey, remember this crazy *****?
The police pulled her off the road and took her car (again) after she almost rear-ended a cop and then made a run for it.

I wonder if I've ever seen/been passed by this kook while I'm going up Keele - kinda scary, heh.
Changing my chainring became infinitely more difficult when I found I couldn't remove one bolt. Cock sneeze. So I'll have to drill it out, the chainring is toast anyway, but I don't want to damage the cranks - my alternative is to pull the cranks off altogether and swap them too - I don't have a drill or puller right now, so I'll have to get one tonight I guess.
