Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Oh yea, today I got yelled at and chased by a couple in an SUV for not stopping at a red light during a protected turn signal when I CLEARLY stopped, got off my bike, waited for turning traffic to stop before going. I blew the second stop light just to get away from them.

Probably not a good idea to blow stop lights, but oh well.

It means, f#ck it dawg, life's a risk.

Stupid, but funny. A good explanation for me running lights as well.

Last night I went out for a friend's birthday. It was a good night involving some cyclists/cycling, but I didn't get to sleep until 7am, and I woke up still drunk at 930 to go running around for work. Fantastic. Plus some **** went down last night involving people knowing things they shouldn't, and now I have to figure out how to deal with it.

The only risks were getting caught by the police and being chased further by that crazy couple. There was virtually NO traffic. :/

Been wanting to get a gun for awhile now. A couple of my buddies like to go to the range every now and again.

I have that gun, pocket carry it every day! I love it until I get about 30 rounds in at the range and my hand feels like falling off. Enjoy, it's a great CC piece!

This is more like a last night I...but last night I deliver'd 2 little baby english bulldogs from my dog runt. There both healthy and doing great I was real nervous about the whole thing but everything's great! I know this isn't bike related but i'm a little excited and thought maybe some of you guys would be interested.

I LOVE English bulldogs. This is certainly relevant to my interests. They are adorable.

That is exactly why I chose that one. Its (in my eyes) the perfect gun for CC but still will be fun at the range.

Today I lifted weights for an hour and I just realized that during tomorrow's ride my body is going to feel like sludge.

It's fun at the range for the first half of a box of ammo. Seriously around 30 rounds is a good time to call it a day.

am nursing a serious hangover while attempting to put out the Sunday paper without any stupid errors. Fortunately, greasy bean and cheese taco at the local Taco Palenque made the stomach settle down, but I've already had to drink 2 monsters and eat a stinger to feel functional.

On a side note, do not ever let your wife, girlfriend, or significant other tell you that you're almost positively only on 4-5 beers. I normally will stop after 5 no matter what...in this case I woke up, went to the fridge and was like "WTF! I was 10 beers to the wind last night..." Downside is that I wasn't any drunker than normal, just paying the fiddler a bigger due.

These things made you feel better?

I almost always feel worse if I drink any type of red bull/rock star/monster. That slimy feeling they leave in my mouth just doesn't feel right (pause, or twss).

Sure man, I had 1 boy and 1 girl and I didn't think it was possible for them to mate naturally because the males chest is so pushed out but they proved me wrong. It was an unplanned pregnancy, so after about 61 days she started throwing up a lot 2 days ago. She threw everything in her body up, during the same time her body temp dropped from the norm 102.5 to 99 which means they were 24 hours away or less. 8 hours later she started panting very heavy that lasted about 8 hours until her first contractions during the heavy breathing. I fell asleep laying down with her and woke up at 4:25 am by 4:30 am it was out enough for me to help assist pulling out the sack. I clamped both sides of the cord and cut it then dipped it in povadone iaodine(sp). She continued having heavy contractions until the 2nd one came out at 4:55 and repeated the same process with the cord. I washed both of them out and suctioned there throats right after they came out. Now they've just been nuring and nessled into mommy for the past 9 hours. Both very healthy my dog name is runt so i'm sure you can guess that shes very small only 30 lbs and shes pure bread so I knew it wasn't going to be a big litter. I hope this is the process you were wondering about. She did 90% of the work I just assisted her.

finally got the new tubes and bar tape on the 725 and hit the rollers.

found the local hidden 'goomba' Italian barber shop and got a proper high and tight while watching a poker game and listening to three generations of Italian barbers talk about women/food/politics/sports.

now making Pollo Oreganata for dinner.
