Last night my garage door opener broke. This morning I found out the house across the street is for sale, my Realtor is out of town so I can't get on the market til Friday at the earliest, and it ****ing snowed.

Anyone wonder why I'm not glad to be back from my trip? Ugh.

Today I am contemplating selling a customer's bike on craigslist that I did a bunch of work on nearly six months ago. No matter how many times I've called, e-mailed, and actually spoken with him, he won't come pay me and pick the damn thing up.

The message I left him today said that if he wasn't here by the end of the day Monday, it's going up for sale. The disclaimer at the bottom of our repair tickets does say "Not responsible for goods left over 30 days", after all.

That's annoying as ****. We had a similar guy leave two bikes with us and he always had some BS excuse about why he couldn't get them, like he was is China or some other crap.


Today, broken knee blues. I dont know what happened but it feel like I'm grinding cartilage. limping to work and back at 10mph on some low low gears

We had a guy pass away while his car was in our shop, that sucked, think we had to store it for close to ten months while they figured out who was gonna handle it.

i have a torn meniscus in my right knee. feels like this most days. does it ever lock up on you when you stand up from a squatting position?

Today I did some climbs and downgraded to a edge 500. Compared to the 800, it's so slow but the battery life is seemingly infinite.

I don't know what this means, so I guess no? I haven't been doing anything but commuting and I did not do anything that caused any immediate pain in my knee. Kinda just woke up and yesterday with a sore knee and today it is more sensitive. All is fine while off the bike.

I should. This is my bad knee, although neither are very good.

Today I went out for my first ride after a month of off time because of a torn rotator cuff. So slow.

Also wore new bibs for the first time, really comfy but when standing in certain positions a detailed outline of my wang is visible. Don't know if I should keep or not...

Dude, I get major moose knuckle. Ain't no problem.

Today I tracked with Jay and Muff, made a handful of friends. Going back Monday for the Intro to Racing session, then maybe on Wednesday for my first race night.




The younger of the day's two supervisors took pictures of my wheels. I got a kick out of that.
