What? Those are amazing/awesome :lol:
|
Today I:
Painted my nails in honor of our alleycat and poker race, which is Saturday! I really hope people come out and have a good time. http://distilleryimage5.instagram.co...38105d6b_7.jpg Found out I'm likely working the race checkpoint at Bangers and Lace, a bar/restaurant focusing on sausage and craft beer. This diminishes my disappointment at not being able to ride in my own race. Drinking beers and signing manifests? Yeah, I think I can handle that. |
Borrowing a friend's wheelset for the 722 before i can get my own set of nicer ones, Strapped them onto my backpack, and biked a couple miles home. I passed a group of kindergarteners, and they told their leader, "Hey! He looks like Captain America!"
"That's because he is!" I got a chuckle out of that. http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...g/IMG_2168.jpg |
Today I:
Wait until you get to ride around with a whole other bike strapped on. You just get stupid comments at that point
|
today I (think) locked down a nice big prize for our drag race. very excited

Seems about the same as it is here :\

Is there a program or script that automatically leaves feedback on ebay once feedback from the associated auction is received by the other party? I'm asking this because I left feedback and less than a minute later, I received feedback in return from the seller.

Also found an outlet with $1.50 pounders of PBR the other day. Seems like $2 + is becoming the norm. |

Today, after riding brakeless for a whole year, I put on brakes. I went out for a ride and got hit by a car for the first time. Dented my top tube and broke brand new tektro R200's. :/
|
Brakes kill!
|
Today, I am seriously in the best mood I've been in in months. I haven't been in this good of a mood since I went to Madison or Austin on vacations, but this time I don't know why.

Mechanic asked what was wrong and when the guy gave his answer about the problem the mechanic says, if it is just a flat tyre you could have just brought in the wheel. |

http://brimages.bikeboardmedia.netdn...crankset02.jpg This made me feel better. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2246/...76448688c7.jpg |
today my wheel slid forward again from a dead stop~>start (resulting in the chain dropping and me holding up a ride for 5 minutes). my fat ass is too much for stupid ass allen key hubs. About to get a new rear wheel built, I feel like I can't trust this damn AC-Sheriff
of course I was paranoid the rest of the ride too, which is a real good way to ride brakeless at an avg moving speed around 20 |
took my first clipless biff when i got to work today: unclipped both feet, but managed to clip one foot back in while straddling the bike and getting off, don't ask me how.
i'm sure i had the Wiley E. Coyote look on my face on the way down. heard the 'click' and knew what was coming. luckily no one saw! WIN! cut a flap of skin off my knee with a pocket knife, treated it with some hand sanitizer and covered it with brown paper towel and Scotch tape. *so ghetto*. thank you ladies and gentlemen, next show is at 10pm, try the prime rib...... :/ |
Yesterday I decided to take my severely neglected caad9 off the wall, pump up the tires, and ride it, I get a block before I hear a loud hiss. Thank you state college partyers for the broken glass.
Today my project at work is actually working (unlike most research projects), which is awesome! |
