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)

i used to do the same weight when i had time for gymming, i miss that torture device

you know you did good when you have to go very slowly and hold the railings when exiting via the stairs at the gym at the risk of legs giving out under your own weight

Today my sqrl asked me to come out to Puerto Rico with her and her family for spring break. Warm weather, beaches, and amazing food here I come!

Today I woke up with super sore knees from playing two games of netball last night, then went to uni to discuss the uses of the Chilean equivalent to f***/s***/dude/balls for an hour. Then as soon as I walked out of class on my way to my car it started bucketing with rain. Then it stopped as soon as I got under some cover. Hoping my day improves a little!

I think it's to show customers how to use index shifters.

I think.

That's a cool toy.

On another note, I've always admired how smooth the welds are on a schwinn varisty. butr.

That just might be happening! If things go ok with this sqrl who lives in Chicago, I might end up spending some time there to visit her. Playing bieks would be rad if I'm around.

Today was a long day. after classes, had to help a friend set up for her event. Then a meeting for another class, and then the event itself. I stood outside in 20 deg. weather in a hoody, getting pied in the face to help raise money for a women's shelter. And the rest of the even was rad too. A bunch of our student musical groups performed, along with our dance team. There was so much pink stuff everywhere. And I still have shaving cream in my nose and a little bit in my ears from the pies. Overall, there was a touch over $500 profit thats being donated to the shelter, along with most of the leftover tshirts that were being sold to promote the whole thing. Really proud of the friend who did all this, because she's only a freshman, and did 95% of the whole thing on her own. In like two weeks.

One hell of a Wednesday.

Popped 162.5grams worth of percocet (half of my 325mg pill), feeling pretty good right now. Wife just called and she's going to buy a bike, YAY! I've been harassing her since I got my bike for her to get one. I want to get her a FG also but I dont really care as long as she gets one and will ride it. Beautiful weather right now too, pretty damn good day, minus the whole face hurting from having my wisdom teeth pulled, but thats why I have meds.

Very nice, and if I am correct it is a valuable bit of Schwinn history.

Today I'm spending some time in the hospital like I have been the past six days. My mom has been ill the past year and a half or so. And today will be the hardest thing ever. She will be disconnected from life support, if she doesn't die before then.

i know that exact feeling man, its a one of the most difficult situations to deal with

same scenario with my mom in 2006, its rough and the hurt never goes away

if i learned anything from it, its that life gets taken away from you before you know it and you should enjoy the time you have

just stay strong and remember to live your life while you still got it
