Today I woke up to the sound of a woodpecker hammering away on a car hood, the honking of geese, the chirping of frogs, and a cacophony of other bird sounds just as the sun came up.

After making coffee spent some time cleaning up the shop then finished up a dropout replacement before I got a lift home... had 10 sets of vintage rims and 2 bike frames that would not have fit on my bike.

Will ride back out tomorrow morning at the butt crack of dawn.

Figure that I earned myself a cold beer or three.

My special somebody has decided to stay the week with me; I haven't eaten this well or had such a clean and organized living space in a long time.

Lol I know how this one goes... I'm terrible at cooking and too lazy to put effort into food, and the lady is neither of those. I'll help her out all the time when we're together, but if I'm alone I'll just eat pizza rolls and hot dogs.

Butthash 05-12-11 04:47 AM

Today I came home, got my front Rando from my friend finally(also a pair of pedals and cages), I put the tire on the rim(Label being in an uneven spot, quite frustrating indeed), tried to take it off and put it back on the way I meant to do it, but Randos suck and take way too long to take off or on. I put my wheel-build up on my bike(photos soon) Franken-f*cked my polo bike together with old wheels and other crap I had around,, broke my chain breaker, bought a cheap one from CVS and broke it as well, was late to polo at that point and it was raining, so I went straight to Taco-night so I didn't get there late, hung out with friends there, had a couple beers, went home, went online, tried to sleep, took some Percocet for my back, and got back on here.

Today I was woke up by a bunch of drunks arguing in my driveway at 2:30 in the morning, advantages of living in the country? So here I am functioning on 3 hours of sleep, sort of, still need to build my new frame, want to go for a ride when I get home because it is beautiful out, but all I really want to do is go home and take a nap in my gazebo.

misskaz 05-12-11 08:23 AM

Today (and most Thursdays) I get to work from home. Nice weather has me contemplating a lunchtime bike ride.

yummygooey 05-12-11 09:15 AM

Today I'm going to the bank to take care of some business for my summer internship! And then I'm having lunch with a professor, and hopefully going on a ride this afternoon. Maybe I'll head to the co-op tonight to rebuild the Track for my pops.

Today I am nursing a drug induced hangover... blech.

Today I have my last final. This summer I'll hopefully make/save enough money for some sweet bike goodies.
