i cannot meditate. I do chi gong sometimes but even then I cannot clear my mind. there is always something i think about whether i want to or not. i guess i'm just thinker; not something of which i can accuse anyone else in this thread.

Been a pretty nasty day in Addiction. Maybe some drugs would help.

Make sure you post some pics. Awesome looking place. Around here it is gray and brown and wet and depressing and cold and foggy and unending in all these qualities.

No one called you gay, and even if you were we would all still like you.... well at least those who don't loathe you for other reasons.

Curiosity question: have you noticed that the alcohol percentage in beers and "malt beverages" has been creeping higher over the years? In the late 80's, early 90's, one had to leave the US to find beer over 3.5%. Today, grocery stores carry micro brewery stuff with 7-8% alcohol, and 5% seems very common in mass produced stuff. Why? If everyone is drinking within the legal bounds, higher % would mean less consumption. I am honestly curious.

I don't know, but I would guess that it has to do with the brewing process - I think that they're aiming for a certain flavor profiles and the higher alcohol being fermented is a byproduct of that flavor goal as opposed to being a goal in and of itself.

Read it or don't, but I find that it's always interesting to see how the world views US events and policy -

I noticed my BB was loose (bought the bike from an unmechanical friend who thought he'd become a cyclist), so I decided to repack everything (hub, headset, BB) before any corrosion set in. Easy enough to do. Bearings are a standard size and should be easily attained at your local better bike shop or automotive supply if you need them (get Grade 25 or better). I used Phil Wood grease, but there are many effective and cheaper grease out there. Come to think of it, its about time I break the hubs open and take a look again. The wheels still spin nicely though. I had recently retired the BB due to a crank swap. The headset was replaced when I went threadless. Ironically, this bike has become my primary rain bike.

Yeah, mine still spin pretty well. But, I can't remember ever having them done and I feel like learning how to do it.

i had a mild fever last night that broke this morning, and a lingering sore throat and cough from a chest cold.
mr. ts is annoyed that i wont go out and shovel the driveway because "being outside in the cold doesn't make you sick, germs do".

should i feel bad for not doing it? (because i'm not doing it today, even if it all turns to ice, which wont happen if the forecast is correct and it's 36 tomorrow.)

Mr. ts should shovel the driveway. He should feel bad for not doing it for you while you're sick.

The crazy broad told me yesterday to not read into this too much, which is a frightening prospect, that maybe she is already plotting her return. The drama I bring here might just be turning up a notch. I might just see if I can't find another woman or two to throw into this mix.

Sounds romantic.

he's forgiven that, because he's out of town for the week for work. his legitimate concern is that the driveway is a bit of a hill, and when it gets icy from poorly cleared snow, it gets hard to navigate.

Why? I think it adds an air of sophistication.

Everyone politely tells me not to go near the bearing maintenance, but you're about to do it.
