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 built up a new bike from jdgesus only to realize one of the wheels was flat.
I realized that Michael Chacon managed to get signed by leader.

Yesterday I went to Dark Lord Day and bought Dark Lord, drank beer, and ate tacos and BBQ in the wonderful sun. And got wicked sunburned.

Today I opened the package containing my Schwalbe Duranos to find I was sent the wrong size. Thanks Schwalbe. FFFFFFFML.

edit: Today I also discovered that mounting a 25c folding Gator Hardshell on an Aerospoke is one of the most physically and mentally exhausting things I've ever done in my entire life.

I was riding home and some guy yells at me "They killed Osama. They killed Osama!" I then say, "This bike kills terrorists!" I thought he was just some weirdo screaming stuff until I got home and read the news.

The lady and I are watching all the seasons of Law and Order SVU. We started watching at the beginning of this semester and are now halfway through season 8. Luls.

We do and fuddruckers as well; but your regional selection sounds much better. Nonetheless I do not normally go to those establishments for healthier little guy indie alternatives. On another note, this has been my 3rd month without meat.

And the osama thing too; it only took 10 years!

I haven't gone that long, nor do I care to, but ever since I moved to live by myself I never cook meat. It's not intentional, I just don't think about buying meat. I think I will go buy some ground beef and make burgers this week. Not eating meat has made bacon 1000x more amazing than it was before
