Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

What are you doing RIGHT NOW?

I'm trying to put together a Powerpoint presentation of "neighborhood assets and liabilities" pictures all taken by a few members of a particular neighborhood. However, the only rolls that came out were taken by half-blind walruses. So I can't.

And I'm drinking a Dr. Pepper, which is terrible.

What are / should YOU be doing?

Just finished fibbing to a client. Just about to cover my ass. Should be covering my ass, but posting on bikeforums. After that I should stuff some letters, make a bunch of calls, pay some bills and catch up on some excel spreadsheets. I am chewing on the end of my sharpie and I'm hungry as hell.

I earlier finished an excel spreadsheet listing all the specs of various camping stoves and pots and created a pivot table that will dynamically add up prices, total weights, total volumes and calculate total burn times, total amount of boiled litres per fuel unit, grams per ml volume ratio, and estimated boil time for any given combination. It has popup images of each product on mouseover. I spent all morning on it. Hooray!

I already made a rack and pannier spreadsheet a few weeks ago.

Next is the tent and clothing spreadsheet.

or underOATH. or whatever.

this is horrible. it's like ian mackaye selling tshirts.

and i should be building a frame for my screenprinting class and observing a middle school social studies class for my 1750-word paper due wednesday.

Really sunny in Helsinki, but still a bit cold - so there was no flux in the shop like last week. Spent the day pricing goods - filling up stocks of spare parts and phoning wholesalers. I am trying to get some track stuff in store but am somewhat skeptical if any of it sells. Probably end up buying majority of the stuff myself

I'm sitting around at my parents house in my PJ's, waiting for laundry to finish so i can go ride.
Might take a nap, I'm in Ultra-Veg-Spring-Break mode, trying to relax before I have to go back home and move. **** moving.

That and I'm eating my parents food. I love visiting home, their fridge has something else besides beer in it.

Just got back from carrying some new servers into the data center. Setting up some new virtual machines for QA and browsing the internet in-between reboots and file copies.

Finishing a inventory of parking lot in downtown Sacramento and finishing a presentation I have to make to city council next week. Mind-numbingly boring work this week. Glad next week is better.

Sitting around eating cheez-its. Should be in the shower, getting ready for work. I hope they figure out how to let me log hours so I can get freaking paid already. Geeze!

Just put on some SKS full fenders, now attempting a pedal switch but starting to wonder if I remembered to grease the threads on the old ones..

Also, polished off some yogurt which should hold me off til dinner...
