Today I realised while i understand what sqrl means I have no idea where it comes from or what it means :l
I'm also unsure as to whether or not I should go for a ride today, my knees have been really sore for a few weeks. My physio said I have short quads and I need to stretch them out every day, they're getting much better but the strain on my patella ligament has caused some tendonitis in my knee and I'm scared it will hurt it more. What to do?!

Kilo. Going to the Intro to Racing session at the track. I'm in San Jose for school anyway, so I'll just hang around until it starts, so I don't have to commute twice.

Today I had an awesome cookout/potluck with friends. And the weather was halfway decent, so I rode over there in the early afternoon. Riding home tonight was a bit sketchy, because it was colder, and I was a little drunk, and damn was it dark. At least there weren't that many cars out that late on a Sunday night.

Today I had 3 meals, and didn't feel like hell. Thats a good thing.

Today I realized the Seawall is officially too busy for riding now. Just last week I could comfortably go out at around 7-8pm and not have throngs of people to share lanes with. Alternate road routes from here on, at least until the fall.

Today I rode a pretty decent 14 mile loop with a new riding buddy I met yesterday. Stoked on this weather, not stoked its quickly going away again.

Listen to your doctor.

Today I spent my day in my shop... am heading south in a week and have a ton of stuff I needed to get done.

Installed some new v-brake bosses on a frame as well as the new guides...

Took myself out for dinner, decided to gamble a little with the V.L.T. and made $130.00.

It was a very good day.

Quitting smoking right before tax day was a bad idea.

Today (well, earlier in the night) I started off my taxes thinking I was a ******, then I realized otherwise... :(

Freelance work is cool because you don't have a boss. Then you have to pay taxes and it's not that cool anymore

Do you have an S Corp set up? I hear there are all kinds of cool things you can do with those.

I ended up not going for a ride. The problem was that the doc said I could still play sports and stuff I just needed to be careful with it.

What does sqrl stand for/mean?!?!!?!

You sure it was your quads that are too short? (I guess it would be hard to straighten your legs completely.) Tight hamstrings aren't uncommon, and one of my knees doesn't track properly if I don't stretch out my legs enough. Also, girls.

Yeah it's my quads. The quad tendon that attaches to your patella, which attaches to the very top of your shin (that bony lump just below your kneecap) gets a lot of stress put on it when your quads are short. That's what hurt a lot originally but now my quad tendon has a bit of tendinitis, possibly from trying to stretch too much.
I know it means girls haha but where does it come from?

I just locked up the kilo for the first time in its life. I hope it won't be mad at me.

And I hope to god it's there when I get back, haha.

You can't bring it into class with you?

Not my current class. Cramped ass class room.

Alright, it's back in my possession.
