I know a high school art teacher that shows off some of her ink when in her work clothes.

I'm jealous of you guys. I don't have the palette to appreciate craft brews yet, and just binge drink on light piss beer.

Today I found out that my rear hub has a goofy splined cog, and being fixed/free, I can't mount my DA cog+lockring. I'm not going to run a suicide hub. I was pretty irate when I first figured out it wasn't going to work, mainly because of how OCD I am about aligning the rear wheel and how long it takes me to put it back on. This process takes me forever, along with any kind of adjustment I do on my bike.

So now it looks like my options for changing gearing are:

a. Buy another formula splined cog
b. Buy new chainring/crankset
c. Buy a new hub/wheel

Assuming the Formula spline pattern is like a Shimano freehub spline pattern, Surly makes freehub cogs too. Oooh, and Chris King's got stainless freehub cogs if you wanna spend more

Today picked up the wheels and put in a street session, soooo much stiffer setup than the dtswisscheese rims I used to use.

Early this morning I watched them taking turns running down to the ground and coming back up with mouthfuls of leaves to insulate their nest.

That's a cool story (I'm saying this without a hint of sarcasm). I wonder if the other neighborhood squirrels are waiting for that spot to open up. It's like prime real estate I bet, and they're all jealous of whoever is shacked up there.

My wife was at school once, and she was sitting on a bench outside eating a snack. A squirrel came up on the bench, right up to her leg, put his (or her) hand out and touched her leg, then scampered off. A lady who was walking by was stunned and said something like "I have never seen that before".

There goes that idea. I've seen some BMX stuff with similar splines, stuff probably doesn't match, though. Proprietary junk is junk.

It's funny how completely fascinated with them I've become. :lol:

I've noticed that every now and again, other squirrels do try to get into their house - there a particular blonde squirrel and a pair of little red squirrels that are particularly persistent - and they always end up getting their asses handed to them and chased off.

That rules. I love when that stuff happens. Just the other day, I had the male squirrel sitting next to me on my front stoop eating Brazil nuts from my hand when the mailman walked up and was blown away by how calm the little guy was.

Many years ago when I was in college, my friends and I were sitting outside the student union building, and watched a squirrel run in, go behind the counter of the little sundries shop, steal a Snickers bar, run out and up a tree with it, and start unwrapping it. Hilarious.

So you say... without the testimony of the squirrel it is a matter of your word against it.

Sherblock 12-13-11 09:42 PM

My teacher mentioned something about one today... not quite sure. Maybe a fancy word for the last day of school?

jdgesus 12-13-11 09:43 PM

welcome to the southern tundra.

Nice to step away from -14F into 35F which still brings a little chill due to the wind and higher humidity.

A little wool and a few fingers of the whiskey and it' all good.

Sherblock 12-13-11 10:04 PM

Oh yeah, while running in a PE class today a guy told me some advice our towns crappy bike store gave him. They told him instead of buying clips/straps he should go to a pet store and buy some dog collars :lol: Needless to say he left to go buy some clips at another store.

finals painting for Acrylics Technique when we made small studies all semester
finals critique in post studio class - a "real" critique on a body of work rather criticizing individual pieces for 2 seconds at a time

heh - My Acrylics instructor tried to trick the class into thinking there would be a written exam
