yeah, so confused, its just like this:

English as a second or foreign language. Since I'm in the U.S., just ESL I guess.


I was actually talking about driving. So the sweating was kept to a minimum. Still 25 minutes driving from bed to classroom is insanely good. 25 minutes by bike is impossible. Maybe if there were a magical bridge that was somehow all downhill with no signals or stops...which would be AWESOME.


Me too. It's just better to let some things go...

I did that upon first viewing. I just thought "Meh, that's gross"

Now that I'm fully fed and have free time, it looks like it's a brush-on "paint" that has the transfer qualities of Silly Putty. Do your nails, dry, then go nuts with the Kroger circular.

Still kinda gross. From a distance it looks like when my big toe's toenail separated from the nailbed then I went swimming.

Happy bday Sherblock!

Rock on.

Looks like it automagically converts from 130mm spacing to 120mm spacing as well!

Today I noticed a weird feeling coming from my drivetrain. Since I just flipped my hub to fixed a couple days ago, I'm hoping it's just something that fixed gear bikes do instead of something more serious that would need work.

I don't feel it when I'm actively pedalling, but when I'm slowing down and not really pedalling, just letting my legs spin, I feel a slight rhythmic...something with each turn of the pedal. Wish I could describe it better. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Happy B-day sherblock.

Nylock nuts are another avenue if the washers don't work out long term.

Nice lookin' fab work.

Chain too tight?

good heads up, didn't even think of nylocks!

EDIT: I might get these anyway, even before testing... nylocks, lockwashers, and loctite..... thats a lot of lock.... lol

thanks man!
only spaces it to 125mm sadly, a 3/32" spacer in between the two dropouts would space perfectly to 120mm. Or if I used 11/32" dropouts instead of 1/4"

Wow... I've missed a lot. I'll take it one at a time:

Fast food rocks. I've eaten at/worked in some of the best restaurants in the country and still chow down White Castle and 3am taquerias on the regular.

I used to be stupidly fat too. I started working 12hrs/day, using "illegal stimulants" to stay awake, and not eating. Not the healthiest way to drop 100lbs in a year but it works.

Today was my first ride in snow, the coldest ride I've ever had, and my first ride with a rack and panniers. Riding through slush and snow is like a roller coaster. It's horrifying and awesomely fun at the same time.

My new tights finally came in the mail. They're rad. Comfortable as hell.

We should be friends IRL and eat the above foods.

Done and done. Come to the city and hang out with me and Misskaz and our friends. We are hella rad.

friend stood me up. b

FUUUU winter break is over... back to the cornfields! Mebs spring break?

For sure. I can't guarantee that I'll have a lot of time off. Chef's life and such, ya know?

Right on.

And if you ever make it down to Shampoobanana (Chambana)...

if i woulda known, i woulda taken you to dicks first, then the world class brew pub second

Next time we'll eat dicks before beer.

for most, its beer before eating dicks......

You dunno what you're talking about dude.

you're right, hard liquor works better.......

Today I:

Tried my hand at my first Sprint... FFFUUUUU light tension pedals! I clipped out on my second or third rotation, and it took me another 2 or 3 to get back in. Would have caught the guy if I didn't fumble, but it was a 1x1 race and in life, you don't get a second chance.

Either way, I had a great time, and met a few new people!

BTW: Brassknuckle, with 44/14. Topped out at 32 on my first practice, but during the race I only hit 28. Man I wish I could have remembered to tighten the damn things up before the race!

dick's a restaurant, man.
