Surf, party, club, etc.

Those are about the only jobs here.

I'm stationed here, so it's not like I had a choice.

I was just talking to some kid outside at the smoke pit. He asked me what ship I was stationed to, so I was like lolwhat'saship?

He basically said he was jealous I had shore duty because he is stuck on subs, is leaving sometime soon and has to live in Guam for three years.

Ahh, the easy life.

EDIT: post number 1234 and I use it to complain about my sore vagina

To be fair, only two of them rode the TOC brakeless. Hope your knees feel better soon.

Read my post.

Note that it was also a carefully chosen photo.

Today I did what you're supposed to do and filled my tires before heading out... and must have tugged on the valve stem too hard because I flatted my back tire. Dammit! Luckily I had enough time to change it.

hamfoh 02-08-12 09:13 AM

I've done that before. damn you delicate ass presta valves

yummygooey 02-08-12 10:08 AM

One time I was 15 miles away from school and I ripped out the little presta tip with my mini pump.

Thankfully both my riding buddies were carrying spare tubes.

No **** man. They're ****ing awesome. I poach those little bastards in butter and then saute them with bacon and it's heavenly. Or pickle them. Man, that **** rocks too.

Also, I'm surprised Kaz didn't post about the Brussels. I think she may be the only person I know that likes those things more than I do.

But... but... your streed cred! It's all about the street cred.

hamfoh 02-08-12 01:36 PM

I actually had a doctors appt yesterday and they looked at one of my knees because I had mentioned pain in it (started before going brakeless, back in the bball days). I should've paid more attention, but apparently there's some muscle or tendon or something or nother that extends from my thigh down to my knee (just outside the joint is where it stops) -- and it's in rough shape and really tight or something. she mentioned needed to excercise it (I guess she saw that I'm a ****** and don't ride a bike everyday). I was scheduled physical therapy, she mentioned lasers and ****. I really didn't pay attention if you can't tell

but she didn't give me any drugs

hamfoh 02-08-12 01:38 PM

What's the TOC?

jdgesus 02-08-12 01:45 PM

shiiiit. BRAKELESS!?

Jandro 02-08-12 02:56 PM

Today I: rode my road bike for the first time in two weeks. It was a fast ride and I did a lot of pulling/inspiring sprint shenanigans.
-Coasting is weird.
-I feel much faster. (possibly placebo)
-My bars are too narrow - the ones on the fixed are much wider and actually feel a little better.
-I missed descending at 40+
-woosha woosha woosha (<3 the sound carbon rims make)

That is all.

p.s. Strayvee

jdgesus 02-08-12 02:57 PM

some dood tried to fly around the world in a ballon.

takes all types

IT Band?

Roll that **** out with a foam roller.

jdgesus 02-08-12 03:33 PM

everytime i hear the word "IT band", i think of a buncha computer guys at working playing rock band at lunch

zoltani 02-08-12 03:35 PM

rock and roll that **** out

hamfoh 02-08-12 03:38 PM

I had to google that. the name doesn't sound familiar but the wikipedia description does. have I really been dealing with this for multiple years when I could've rolled it out? why would a doctor fail to mention that? ($$$$)

zoltani 02-08-12 03:45 PM

If you put your palm on the outside of your knee do you feel a popping or clicking when you bend it?

hamfoh 02-08-12 03:54 PM

yeah there's a popping but it's not like the joint itself, it's something else. if i ride brakeless for a while (and I have to stop a lot) it'll be sore a while when I get home. if i cross my leg when sitting a lot (especially if it's the super comfy under the leg for lounging) then I have to readjust because it feels like I'm going to tear it off

the pop occurs when I bend it in, not when I extend it, fwiw
