Hi midget.

Hi mzeffex. whatcha up to?

Bored and tired. I don't get a weekend. Working at old shop tomorrow, new shop sunday. It's fun (kind of) but also really tiring. I got sun/mon off before, now I'll get fri/sat off. Don't know what's better, probably the new one.

I know what bored and tired feels like... I'll be working all weekend with the 'rents on our house. Last weekend we ripped out and put in three pre-hung doors, and two storm doors in 2 days without any sleep.

No they shouldn't

So you expect the manufacturer to give you a similar replacement helmet at approximately 30% cost? That's nuts.

The tables have turned. I just found out that my tax refund was sent directly to my bank account. Woo!

Nice!

That reminds me - did you do your own taxes, or did you pay to have someone else do it for you? I've been doing a lot more IT work and I really should get legal about this whole thing.

I did my own, it's easy. Plus my tax refund was only $78

Still, it's a bit towards the new ride.

I just read this craigslist ad and I expect you to do the same.

I'm trying to change the style on my blog and now it's all messed up.

This thread is Idiot Flypaper.

Are you doing this work freelance? If so, you should have someone do your taxes - it'll pay off. Start keeping copies of expenses - hardware, software, trade magazine subscriptions, travel... everything - let the accountant sort out what can be written off and what can't.

That's what she said

Yeah, sounds good. The last thing I need is to have the IRS coming after me...

The next time we launch a BF Witch Hunt, we should hire this character.

I think supper last night made me fatter today.

The TennisVols have advanced to the Elite 8.

It's raining and because of this I'm not riding. I know, I know, but just not feelin' it.

80 miles this AM. Felt good on the climbs. That is all.

I took Pcads advice to do a 100 miler today and just got on the bike and rode. No big deal . Pcad is the frigging Oracle of BF !

Don't show him respect. He'll get all sassy.

I knew you were going to say that.

Some guy in a Westwood jersey was chasing me up Gate Hill Road near the end of my ride today. I put my head down after the steep part and rode a pretty good tempo up the considerably mellower top half of the climb. Never saw him again. Really did feel surprisingly good on the hills today. Good sign.

Hey pcad, do you know if any of your team is down in the DC area for whatever reason? Specifically Alexandria, VA? I swear I saw a guy in your kit ride by, he was on a white bike. Didn't catch the brand.
