First bike commute of the year for me. It felt SO nice this morning. Had a nice dinner out last night for cheap as crap due to an internet coupon I found.

I will never buy another computer that the OS doesn't run on solid state storage. Too spoiled by it now.

Today I rode into work. Took a new route which put me on sidewalk for most of the ride, but it was amazing not dealing with all the idiots in cars.

Just sent my house mate to the emerg... he had to be told that epidermal necrosis was not a "wait until morning" issue and that he needed to get his ass in to the hospital yesterday.

Brother is flying in today, family will be gathering at my house as it is 3 blocks from the hospital and it looks like I will be doing a lot of visiting... am staying occupied by f'ing with computers. Did fresh Win7 Ultimate installs on my desktop and net book, got everything networked, and am running backups.

My new old box is supposed to be here on Friday... this is my nephew's current bit of hardware which is barely fast enough for what he does.

Hope your mom gets well quick!
Hmmm I spy a ATI 5950 & a corsair force SSD?

Duuude, get yo'self a bike! There are a couple companies along the lake front path that rent (Bobby's Bike Hike and Bike and Roll Chicago being the two I can think of). Get a silly tourist bike and ride the lake front path!

Jaytron 03-20-12 03:04 PM

Today I traded KiloTT's with Mucky. We're both pretty happy. Except I'm now brakeless, and his Affinity fork is not drilled for a front brake. I'm going to die.

RGNY 03-20-12 03:12 PM

started to pack a jacket for my ride home from fencing practice. checked the weather and it'll be 64F at 9pm. wow.

still tossing a base layer in my bag, just in case.

Why so?

Why did we trade, or why will I die?

We traded because he wanted to size down and I wanted to size up a bit.

I might die because I've never done brakeless. I mean I rarely use my brakes when riding fixed, but I think just not having the option freaks me out a little.

Hmm we haven't much of this guy after that one video... I guess he decided to end it in the back of a cable car or muni bus?

I think last week Muni actually ran some cyclist over that had fallen.
