yeah!

i grew up redneck/country/farmboy/etc., but i haven't been hunting since my teens/college. i've only eaten wild boar once and it was amazing. my parents used to bowhunt boar together, so i'm aware of the behavior/danger, but i can't wait to take one on w/o a gun. i worry about the doggies though, even if they are pitbulls in kevlar vests. i like dogs more than most people. when a dog bites you, you usually know why.... :)

Today I found a thread on 4chan's /n/ called girls on bikes. It was awesome.

Today was spent at City Hall, our insurance agent's office, on the phone with the Dept. of Revenue and ended with painting the ceiling and scrubbing the floors at our new shop. I'm exhausted and can't wait until we're all moved in and fully operational.

I continue to find myself confounded by bike fit. Moved the saddle forward on my IRO like 1cm, and it was like my whole world got turned upside down. No more numb thumb, no hip pain, but now I have a sore ass.

Oh, and made myself a melted ham 'n' swiss. NOM.

How the hell does 4chan work... It doesnt seem to have organization upon first glance...

it doesnt have any at all other than subforums... the thread turnaround rate is so fast theres no need to organizes them.. 99% of them die within minutes and are burried... thats why i prefer ******...

Got my tubular flip flop wheelset...

OT post

KMC K710 or KMC K710 SL?
any difference in how fast the SL stretches due to the hollow pins? idrgaf about weight... i eat chains... sick of it

talked to guy riding 46x13 brakeless. I half jokingly called him crazy.

I aligned the fork on my touring bike with all the alignment tools I didn't know we have at the co-op. No more sitting all crooked when letting go of the bars.

pics?

Today I put on my new wheelset. Took a little longer because I had to change out rim tape too. The cog slipped on me my first time going down to A&M to some goldsprinting. Great night.

Today I am depressed to the point that I had a hard time not walking in front of a bus that was coming toward me. I need to find a therapist. I just don't feel a reason to be alive.

Today I picked up my Rush from the LBS with the installed headset and fork. Went home to insert my Nitto Pearl, but it stops with about 2 inches of headtube to go and I have almost 3 inches of quill sticking above the headset. I went back to my LBS and they said my fork was double butted, so it starts to bulge toward the bottom of the fork and that's what's stopping the stem from going down any further :(

I have a Nitto Jag stem that fits fine because the insertion length is about a inch shorter than Pearl, but the clamp diameter is 25.4mm and won't fit my RB021s. I'll probably call my LBS tomorrow and see if they can cut down the base of my Pearl.

Talk to whoever you need to man. Depression isn't a joke.

Yeah, the problem is that the only person I can talk to about it is also a part of the reason I'm so depressed currently, and this person doesn't want to hear about it, because they're super depressed/hurt from the issue too.

I've always dealt with depression, but for the last few months it's been pretty ok. These past few days though... My god.

Talking to someone really helps. Even if they don't tell you anything useful, it allows you to vent. I've done it before and it made me feel better. I was never on medication, but I was told I had major depression. The past two months have been great though. I feel like a different person than when I was for the previous eight months. It gets better man. Even though it may be hard, try doing the things you really enjoy. Being active helps by getting your mind off the problems.

Glad you got your **** together. I usually hold myself together, ya know? I was gonna go on a long ride tonight as a form of catharsis, but I know I would've ended up doing a century, and I was asked by a friend not to do a solo century in January in the dark after getting 10 hours of sleep in three days. So instead I took a four hour nap and now I'm drinking a beer and watching cartoons.

Yeah man get some more sleep especially if you want to be putting out beast rides.

As I said, I took a long nap. Did I mention that I also have terrible insomnia?

Today I realized England's pretty cool, but the usd-gbp currency conversion is the equivalent of prison **** to your wallet.
Yesterday, I realized the English people fu-king suck. No wonder they use the c-word so much to describe each other.

No matter how bad **** gets, a good reason for wanting to be alive is that you're alive. That's pretty incredible in the grand scheme of the entire universe. Appreciate it.

Especially when you get older and people you know start dying off. Yesterday I went for a bike ride and just enjoyed living and being healthy. Today, I'll do the same. This is my daily therapy, and my body produces all the drugs I need.

:(

Hold it together dude.

Currently dealing with this myself too. Blows so much ATMO.

If more people start dropping off... I lost nine last year. If that happens every year I Wong know anyone pretty soon.

And thanks everyone. I'll be fine. I'm gonna find a shrink. I realized last night that I'm pretty ****ed in the head, and I need some help.

and to keep with the depressing theme, my beard looks like **** today

Today I deleivered a load of bikes my co-workers donated to a place I volunteer at called Recycle Bikes for Kids. We repair bikes and give them away to any kid that wants a free bike.
