today I bought a piece of crap track frame off craigslist. no idea what the brand was but came with everything but a wheelset, chain and saddle for $85. It's a pretty purple so will either sell it to a girl~friend at cost or find a cheapass wheelset and finish it (have a saddle and chain in my box)

Yeah it was listed for 2 days before I even saw it, I guess people were lazy or something (plus when ppl use stock photos instead of real photos crap tends to linger). It's even the perfect hipster size (51cm). If anyone has a cheap wheelset they want to sell me, I'm all ears, just missed out on a pair of orange (eh, but not my bike) deep vs for $50
the hipster tax here is what made me confident I could get rid of it if nobody I knew wanted it.

Today I sanded down the Raleigh and sprayed the frame and forks a dark burgundy color, I also ordered some new original white stickers for it, excited to get it back together tomorrow.

Today I am waiting at YEG for my flight to leave and came in early on the shuttle as I was not planning on sleeping anyways and the early shuttle would have cut things too close for comfort.
Will be having brunch in PDX tomorrow and enjoying the company of my girlfriend and fiancee for a week... after that I will get to enjoy the company of my wife.
They are all the same person...
Just ordered a Timmy's and might have to play a little Minecraft to entertain myself here.

800mg Ibuprofen every 4 hours with food. That's what was prescribed to me when I did something similar. And by something similar I mean catching my collegiate cheerleader girlfriend when practicing stunts because I was jealous of her partner looking up her skirt all day.

Today I pulled the trigger. Somewhere in Arizona a neon orange Dawes Deadeye has my name on it. In other news, people on craigslist are swarming my old mtb like none other. A lot of places have a hipster tax on track frames. In the PNW we have a hippie tax on mountain bikes.

Today I had one of those random days at work where you just want to throw all your work on the wall and stomp out all the while screaming obscenities, charlie sheen style. Anyhow, I ended up totally messing around the entire day while mass transferring back up files that I've acquired down here to my mac pro server back home which has been in sleep mode for the past 3 months; gotta love osx WoL from a 3 month dormancy and university fiberoptic internet.
But the following bicycle ride and dinner out with my wife brought me back down to earth. Best part was when my wife surprised me with bianchi celeste painted nails.
