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.

Today I ploop'd

Went for my first ride in a week since wiping out and hurting my arm. Wrist is still a little tender in the joints so I had to take it easy on climbs and watch out for bumps, but got in a nice 16.5 miles. According to Strava's leader board for segments of my ride, I need to HTFU a lot.

Today I sold the gigantic Nishiki, which I'd been riding for the last 4 days or so. Now I'm riding bike with bars at least a foot lower. I feel like I could lick the pavement if I wanted to.

had banana pancakes for breakfast and they were great

perhaps going to the absinthe tasting was a bad idea (1890's Swiss recipe at a local home distiller's).

now the wife and i keep trying to give eachother charley horses....... :)

legs already sore from hill intervals/CX training, now this. OWOWOW. love her, must not kill.

Today I melted in the heat, but got in a fun 36 miles.

Tonight I'm staying up until I have to go to work at 5 am. Glad its only a 4 hour shift, and I can't wait for this coming week when they put me back on a regular weekly schedule.

wut.why?

if i were u i wudve been in bed at 10

Yeah, sometimes that's easier said than done. Resetting your sleep schedule is hard for some people.

I'm on my way to Milwaukee. Woo.

Didn't really have the option. So I'll kill myself and stay awake all day today, sleep good tonight, and then be better off for being back to my normal schedule. It sucks, but its totally worth it.
