4 Hours of Z2 scheduled today. I'll keep you in mind, [MENTION=185471]WhyFi[/MENTION].

Photos or didn't happen!

If I posted a pic, how would you know it's me?

Instead of sanding, try a hand scraper. You'll be surprised at how it reveals grain detail.

I used to build a lot of furniture, including pro audio speaker prototypes -- until it became my job. It took all the fun out of it.

Yeah, I've been meaning to pick up a couple of cards to try it out. How to they work out vs a plane set up for smoothing?

That was my experience with programming. It was great fun when I was in school and could do creative things with it, but I wisely avoided the opportunity to do it for a living. I would've hated it.

Ha. A fun day for both.

first flop threads, now stiff threads.

its a conspiracy.

I would expect you to look like Christopher Lloyd...if you didn't, I'd know you were lying.

...this is the reason I never became a male stripper.

First ride on Nashbar Aluminum project bike. No concerns.

It's never too late to live your dream.

[MENTION=185471]WhyFi[/MENTION] it's easier to set up than a plane. A rectangular card with a stone flattened edge, then burnished with a hard steel rod to raise an edge. Clamp the work, grab the card with both hands, flex it slightly in the middle with thumbs, and the push along the work like a little bulldozer. You'll make very thin whispy shavings and after a while, sore thumbs.

Observation of the day: Not only running is stupid, but it's especially stupid after a long ride. Trust me on this one.

12.1 miles of putzing around today. Got a chocolate cake and only got rained on a little bit.

Spotted Keen's Checker cab on the way home!

Who is Keen, and why is his cab significant?

Apparently you're not a big fan of SPD sandals! Just wait 'til you get a recumbent... :)

I am so missing the point here. I barely have any idea what SPD means; I think it is a type of pedal. I don't know what an SPD sandal is. I don't know what sandals have to do with cabs. I don't know what Keen has to do with sandals. I don't know what recumbents have to do with sandals or cabs. And this Keen guy is a total mystery to me.

Still waiting for ant+ stick and speed sensor from amazon. International shipping makes me sick.

For someone who seems to be an educated and opinionated guy, you fail in the google department. :P

You could always run ATACs, I guess:

There are only a couple Checker cabs around here. A sighting is pretty exciting!

Ya know, that is really a cop out. Man makes an obscure joke, he should be willing to explain it. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

You sure you didn't have too many cups of expresso for brunch?

I'm currently wearing a pair of that Keen guy's shoes. They are not sandals.
