I guess I could've taken those off those bars, tried to move them over and all that, but I've never installed cables or anything on road brake levers

Nicest weather of the ****ing year this weekend, stuck moving furniture. A massive wall of furniture exists on my balcony, and behind it all, my bicycles. I wish this was a ****ing metaphor.

Today I went to my local Performance Bicycles and walked around for entirely too long, took advantage of their 20% off clothing sale and bought a nice pair of shorts. Also decided I'm too fat for jerseys at this point.

when I wear jerseys it looks like I'm trying to smuggle marshmallows across the border.

Today was a perfect day in SF, but now the allergies are killing me. That's what I get for walking around the park for 4 hours.

Yeah, get a job you hippie. HAhaha.

Today, I didn't ride at all really (few miles, not even worth Strava). I feel kinda dirty about it.

Well, today, I'm getting ready to check in to the hospital on Monday to get 2 electric shocks. 1 to stop my heart, and the second to restart it, to hopefully restore normal heart rhythm, and start a new heart drug for my arrhythmia. Wish me luck! I'll be in til Thursday.
