it can be kinda hard if you have a set 9-5 or whatever.

i'm full time, but as long as I get my **** done and be present for bi-weekly meetings, I can come and go as I please, at all hours of the night or on the weekend if I wish. If it takes me 44 hours to get all of my **** done or if I start drinking beer and chilling with only a 36 hour week, no one cares around here. I enter the exact same time online everyday.

Yeah, I do 9-5, but my commute to SF from SJ is like an hour long train ride with weird schedules. So I really do more of a 7-7 day. On salary too so sometimes I'll be at the office late. I'm thinking of just getting off at different stops to ride part of the way home or something.

Thanks; darn nothing came up :cry:

Yea I couldn't find anything either. Everyone always asks me if I made it, and they're always surprised when I tell them some company actually produced them.

Build a steampunk alarm clock.

∞ times more uber. Still, I love when it when I actually see some of the mechanical operations on the outside. Soooo ****ing cool.

Last night, I finished two papers for two different classes. Marketing exam tonight, which should be a joke. Its shortsleeve weather outside right now, so I'm hoping I can catch a ride tonight.

I'm also giving my friend a bike that's too big for me. It's his first road bike; an old geared Shogun. I told him $150 and pay me back whenever, it whatever incremental amounts. He was reluctant at first, but finally came to. Makes me feel good though. It shows he actually plans on paying me back.

Yummy can probably make it steam punk by raiding the pluming section of his home depot; the closest steam punk thing I have is my mechanical switch keyboard.

Today I: had awesome lunch, discussed some business stuff, got a set of drops (goodbye bullhorns), a new stem, some tape, and test rode a couple bikes. 2011 60cm Cannondale Capo, and 2011 61cm Specialized S-Worksj Langster. I am in love with them both, but I think I prefer the Capo. Tonight, put new stuff on the bike, drink good beers, spend time with the lady, and mourn the end of my mini-vacation.

The only smart post so far.

Lenovo ThinkPad x120e if you just need something for carrying around and surfing the tubes.

Slap a SSD and 8gb of RAM in that *****, ****'s good to go.

Install a linux distro, too, so you can look like a hacker.

Today I got in a soggy 34 miles.

Today my garage caught fire. Came home and smelled smoke, but it smelled like a camp fire and like someone was making s'mores. So I went into my house and had something to eat, played my drums from a bit and then I noticed that the smell was getting worse. I checked the stove and all that, and then I started hear little explosions in my garage. I looked outside and saw that there was smoke coming out of the door, so I called the the fire department. Had 5 fire trucks here. They tore down the garage door with a circular saw (it was pretty cool to watch, if I do say so.. shh..). Most of our bikes are beat up either from the fire/smoke or from the firemen getting them out of the way to put out the fire. :( They said it started from inside a bucket where my dad had all his car cleaning stuff. They said something must have soaked into a rag and mixed with some other chemicals and combusted. It turns out the s'mores I was smelling was my dad's A&W Root Beer burning away, haha. Good thing the fire was caught quick, because it didn't reach the 110 octane gas we had in the corner or my RC car racing fuel. But the insurance company took my bikes :(

Damn that blows, you were just finishing up your pake too

So [yesterday] at practice a kid who I have ridden with before over the summer decided to join the cycling team. He showed up in gym shorts and a 20+ pound road bike with worn-down tires. He then proceeded to hang on to my coaches wheel for 15 minutes at 23 mph. He was the only kid on our team who could do it.

I love it when a guy with ****** gear, an open mind, and a positive shows up and kicks butt.

LesterOfPuppets 02-29-12 07:15 PM

That's pretty rad, except for the wasted tires bit. Don't wanna follow him too close in the paceline.
