In looking forward to buying a new bike, for the frame, I dismantled my road bike today. Bye Bye Bikesdirect Motobecane

general or subject?
congrats either way

my chem GRE scores were good. I was instructing a supplemental course to gen. chem at the time and studying so I was well prepared.
My gen GRE scores were avg.

seeing as how im working and have graduate school aspirations I should probably apply before my scores expire....
either way I will re-take the general.

Very very cool! Congrats, man!

Today I: received some SWEET art things from my sister for my birthday. They combine my two favorite things!

I is a happy brother.

That is really sweet. i love maps, im not really sure why

Damn. If your sister was ever out this way, Art Prize would probably treat her well. Those map-bikes are seriously awesome.

Whoah she made those Jandro??

yeah man those r cool.

so you do something interwebz/map related for your job correct?

Thank you for this. My regular reading of the BBC has been substantially improved.

It was the general test, no biochemistry programs require the subject test since it doesn't have good historical precedence.

I jumped from 53% to 80% in verbal, and 77% to 85ish% in math which equals a ~1365 on the old GRE scale, which puts me above and beyond any cut offs that schools have (which is usually 1100-1200)

This coupled with having a really good informal interview at a great university (I blew them away with my sciencing, and they totally want me to go there)... feels good man.

nice man.

i look forward to graduate school for intellectual and professional reasons. currently I plan on going in 2-3 years, but we'll see what happens.

It's nice to be called Dr. :lol:

Today was a good day. Got a free set of Wellgo SPD pedals. A customer got new Speedplays installed and didn't want the Wellgos. Now to get some shows and cleats and learn how to clip in/out. Also, I found out that I'm literally one of two people at my shop that knows how to properly install a cog and lockring on a fixed gear. The rest of the employees (sales and techs) are roadies that have never even ridden fixed. Crazy. Between the commute, an errand, and a quick spin on a Fuji Altamira during my lunch break, I got in a solid 50 miles today.

dbdh party but no race. work work work.

bought some giro privateers for cx season and a concor and hilarious stem/bar combo.

Already scoring deals and free stuff, nice! With the extra miles clipless should serve you well :)

Today i will ride this ill fitting fuji road bike to/from work..i already feel like im cheating

rode across town to help with the collective/co-op yard sale so they can pay the rent.

got the first payment from the buyer of my geared CX bike.

made the mistake of spotting a vintage Colnago roadie on Ebay. *sigh* money come....money go....

I found out today that I can get a Fuji Altamira 2.0 and a Fuji Betsy (wife bike) together for under $2000. Man, I do love employee discounts.

Throw you a hundo if you can get me a Pugsley at cost.

JAYKAYJAYKAY

Today I'm riding in the heat. Refilling hydration bladder ATM.

Vancouver (KVUO)

Elevation

Station Select

I wish. Not a Surly dealer though.

Just realized that the Altamira doesn't come in my size. Gran Fondo 2.0 it is.

Today my work friends have an extra ticket to a Lollapalooza aftershow so I'm going to see Jane's Addiction. :lol: Don't really care about them anymore but the ticket's only $15 and it's not far from me, so why not?

I heard they got Stumptown coffee out at the Loller. Tasty brew, that.

Today I had my first solid crash of the season at the pumptrack. Some scrapes, and a bee sting to the neck.

Nice! I still dig them...

Fixed up some bikes for a local antique dealer. Got 99% done with this jamis full suspension before I noticed the chainstay was about to break in half. That's after it got a new chain, cables, wheels trued and bearings repacked. That and 5 more bikes netted me a benjamin and a ton of momentum that carried over to flipper projects of my own that have been stagnating in the garage.

Today was a good day.

Today I drank beer, went wakeboarding with my brother, then he took me to a beer garden to treat me to a fancy six pack since I rocked my GRE. I'm going to be all sorts of beat tomorrow.

best pic I've seen from lollapalooza so far:
