Wife and daughters got me a jacket and pants I can wear when not riding with Traffic Jammer embroidered for my birthday. Can't wait to see 'em, as they are from one of her sports clothing gear suppliers.

Maybe I should go back and see if my bike is there.

Now for something completely different...

Packing two Mr. Potatoheads is a pain in the ass! Only the face bits fit in the butt-trunk, and the hat/arms/feet have to stay attached. How inefficient. Umm... Mr. Potatohead rides fixed gear in my dreams.

Okay, I'm a huge Aphex Twin fan. I just re-found "Melodies From Mars" which is like 11 years old now and was only released on tape back in the day. *rocks out to lo-fi bleeps*

If he doesn't go into retirement, it might be a firesale.

He had a fire a few years ago, if I recall correctly. The front of his current store was ruined and I never really heard what happened but I am sure some of his "stock" was damaged.
