Well, I was sitting there thinking, "hmm...I can't leave the house today, but still want to do some daily good Samaritan work..." and so long story short, I came here and decided it would be a good deed to inform people about my bodily functions! 
Anyways, I guess I came down with something...really lamex10/

"I have a stomach thing that kept me in the house all day." would have sufficed

I lounged around all day. Too hot to ride.
I just pressed some coffee. Loading up Arrested Development on Netflix. About to ride the trainer for an hour or two.

On Friday I rode a 500M time that was 0.05" faster than the Elite Women's National Championship time.

Today I:
Received a beautiful front rack (Made by a fellow forum member) and shortened syntac stratos... if only I could figure out what to do with the setup (on the hunt for an Eno Eccentric hub for the C'Dale or perhaps a cheap frame lacking in the fork department.
Still need to get some fork mounting hardware, but its looking great!

Any good idea's? I have a few up my sleeve as far as the final big picture, but I just don't know what to base it off... Part of me wants to find the cheapest frame I can (under $50), another says to get an Eno hub for the C'Dale and not even paint it...
If only a certain someones new frame was 1"

Or I have a fun idea being a cdale track owner... strip the rest of the paint off the cdale and have a shop paint/ replicate it cdale glacier blue and I'm pretty sure you have the capacity for the vinyl decals. Profit? But that rack would not belong.

Today I woke up at 5:30am, ate some chorizo & eggs and went for a long ride along the coast while the sun came up. Was tempted to jump into the ocean but my feet told me the water was only about 45 degrees so no dice. Swung by the shop where I occasionally work as a tech, got my hands dirty doing three tune ups and building two bikes. Went across the street and bought a roast beef sandwich. Ate said roast beef sandwich while thinking how much I ****ing love roast beef sandwiches. Didn't feel like riding home with a belly full of meat so I got on the train with my bike and got off two stops later near Retrogression HQ. Packed up a bunch of orders, answered a bunch of e-mails, made some calls and waited for the mail pickup. Shot the breeze with our mail guy Jim (I swear it's the same conversation every day). Packed up my computer and rode home (about 5 minutes). Drank a beer on my back porch. Came inside and took a nap with my cat Syd. Woke up when Angie got home, fired up the grill for dinner and made some awesome teriyaki chicken, corn on the cob and sweet potatoes.

Of course, Rojas bumped into his bars when he tried it the first time. Great pull by Hushovd too.
