today i tried to deliver a "test" cake with my P.T.V. (pastry transport vehicle)
it didn't make it so well... regular pastries/cookies are just fine, but cakes, still haven't figured a good way to get fragile cakes around town with a bike.

Whip up a suspension for it! :lol:

Today I went to a chinese tea house for dim sum with my friends; ended up racking over a $100 tab, figures since it was my treat. :lol:

^Damn! How many friends do you have?

Oof; a lot. This time was a party of 11 including me; all bros and their wives.
I happen to be returning to San Diego by the end of the week.

On another note, me and some friends are going for a night ride tonight along the Oakland hills.

Someone OT'd the pipecutter. Even with a pipecutter, never rush it, rushing it, leads to over tightening. Over tightening leads to failed pipe cutters. Go at it again with a another pipecutter and an 1/8th of a turn for every full rotation until the blade cuts through.

Specific place? Even though I live here I never ride there lol.

No place in mind; we'll hit up top dog in berkeley through for some good dogs & for me, memories as an undergrad.

Alright, I'll give it another shot. I definitely admit to rushing it.

Today I bombed a midterm and as a result I'm drunk.

tonight while riding Ride With No Name my fixed side of the hub decided to strip on a downhill. Me being a brakeless dumbass had to rotafixed the cog onto the free side and prey to get home alive. A Sqrl chilled with me. I feel like I have beer goggles on.

Tonight I went on a sporadic ride at midnight, leaving base heading through Cannery Row. I followed it all the way down and around, ending up at Asilomar beach. The road there seemed a lot longer than usual, but there was not a car in sight, no lights blinding me, much warmer weather than I expected. It was a really nice ride, chilled at the beach for a while. Then, I had to find my way back, cut through some housing, eventually found my way heading down Central.

Also, almost had my bike stuck in one of those turning metal gates that people can go in and out of. I didn't want to go all the way to the other side of base to leave, attempted to put bike through gate, wheel was caught, sad times were had until I wiggled it free. Not really sure how I would have explained that one.

I've never used anything but a fine-toothed hacksaw and a file. As long as you're careful, you'll be fine.

Today I officially put this guy up for sale. :(

turns out it probably was the angled "seat" as the cakes layers did slide.


i'll try to level it out before i get all "engineer-y" on it :lol:

Hey, where do you work? I should stop by your restaurant and say hi. We need a BFSSFG secret handshake or something.

Why? Didn't like it? Seems like you only had it a few months?

hes got to downsize the department of redundancy department.

as i did in cyclocross division. now i just have to do that for the track dept.

speaking of cyclocross, i'll be posting back about how i did. gotta get out there. riding to the race!

Have fun!

Nice. My friend vacuum formed some pie holders (at least he had planned on it, dont know if he ever did) to attach to his front basket. He runs the Piecycle out U-district, don't think he's doing right now though.

I'm at Kitsch'n on Roscoe for the moment. Chef-Consultant, but my contract expires on the first so if you're gonna come in do it before then. And yeah, a secret handshake would be rad.

It's the only way to go about things.

I ****ing love Maker's Mark.

Today I'm beginning my first wheel build! 20h radial front, 28h 2x rear. I'm using a fork and a repair stand to get started, and the guys/gal at my LBS will let me use a truing stand for adjustments. Now I need to get rid of my B43's and Phils.. Hint hint.. PM me. :p

Today I rode to the bike shop and picked up a co2 pump and a patch kit. Debating if I should head out to Santa Monica for c.r.a.n.k.m.a.s.

20h is my favorite h except when radial.

Today I did some sprint work and am tired.
