Fingers crossed that elimination of townie bars and lame-o adjusta-stem works some magic. Might just have to wait 'til Saturday. Sold a MTB in no time last Sat. Maybe all the Portland hipsters have already moved on from C&V roadies and are on 90s MTBs now ? :)

I like

Dropped a quick pic of the kilo in the post your bike thread. I'm going to take some better ones while I'm out.

Today I buy fireworks. 99 cent mortars and 6-packs of Roman candles. I might stock up this year, it kinda seems like this might be the last year of boom boom party time. Might have to go to the reservation next year.

Today (just now) some jackass came strolling into the shop smoking a cigarette. When I told him he couldn't smoke in here, he got flip and said "I don't see a no smoking sign anywhere". I responded by telling him to get the **** out of my shop. He seemed to be a little hard of hearing so I helped him by opening the door and pushing him outside. Once out on the sidewalk, he did a lot of telling me he was going to kick my ass but not much else. Damn fool.

Same response if he's smoking a joint?

:lol: I always enjoy your stories of confrontation.

Today I am contemplating leaving early (like, soon). Considering my boss snuck out to see a movie this afternoon, I think it would be ok.

+1 on that.

3pm is a pretty standard Friday afternoon leave time around here.

Granted we get to work at like 7 every day...

I get Fridays off. :p

Considering that the rain just stopped and it's beautiful outside, I say go for it. I wish I was riding right now, but I have a ton of running around with Mrs.tango so public transit it is.

damn u

today i am spending hella time in the office (aka the man cave) throwing stuff at my co-workers, talkin' **** and having a beer or two here and there.

I spent the last few days bustin' ass in the lab fabricating and QC'ing a huge order for Trent university and now I have tons of paperwork to do.
I'm still running a process in the lab that will take ~9 hours, but it only requires tending every 45 min or so until the end of the day, so ill be running around typing this and that or helping coworkers wit whatever.

Today I got a sweaty 10ish miles in with the sqrl, and took some decent pics of the Kilo.

6 months looking for used steel frames locally and nothing. ended up with an aluminum Ridley via eBay.

now that i'm building it up, a local guy has an awesome Gunnar he has to get rid of.

wife's gonna kill me man.....

Well that was fun. Got run into a parked car by an ******* in a Mercedes SUV on the way home. I'm fine, might get a bruise on my elbow from where I hit the side of the parked car but maybe not even that. I'm just angry because I yelled as it was happening and he saw me hit the car and stop completely and he just kept going and took his right turn and drove away. Jackass.

I got his license plate # and tweeted it immediately. I do that a lot as practice to improve my instincts/memory should I ever be in or witness a serious accident. It got retweeted a bunch so that makes me happy a little.

Get rid of the damn timestamp hahaha.

That's not a time stamp. That was really there.

The SL marina is one of fav spots ;)

hell yeah. I was like..."sweet, this pipe art thingy makes an awesome bike stand!"

:lol:

It's actually Roger Berry's "Rising Wave" ;)

Great guy, I met him once at a gala, he has a bunch of installations all around the bay area and even Davis for you Aggies around here.

That's sweet. People think I'm nuts for taking my FG off-road or on gravel grinders, but I don't think it's that big of a deal.

today I put my cinelli back together and built up my focus izalco

tonight is my drag race!

Funniest thing about the time stamp, it's wrong... lol
Edit: shooped it for Jaytron the annoyed robot

Glad you're ok. Makes me kinda feel bad for encouraging you to leave work early.

Today I have been running around, couldn't find any new pants I liked, might have to cancel my trip to Milwaukee, found out my mother-in-law tried to kill herself, and may have broken something in my hand by punching a wall out of anger. I haven't done that in five years. I think the stress is getting to me. I need a bike ride.

My next project is definitely fixed MTB. I've been hunting for a nice cromo Horiz Dropout frame but will probably have to start with the Hot Magna.
