Yeah, she did it ahead a little of me but I was going at least 20mph (I try to get out of there fast and today proved why). So I saw her turn in front of me and just braked and tried to turn so I wouldnt collide head on. Still, if I were in my car going 35 I would have destroyed her. WHO DOES THAT!?

Surely you came out of nowhere and had your invisibility cloak on. Happens all the time ;)

this is the first time I actually collided with the right hooker. great fun

that's cool. my girlfriend does not like music when we get busy

LOL. Tristram music i hope

Today I sent a resume for a new job. I've realized recently that cooking doesn't make me happy any longer, so I've been looking for something I could do instead. Found a job as a food buyer for a wholesale specialty food importer. They wanted a bachelor's degree or five years in high-end food service, so I qualify. If I got it, I would net more than my wife and I currently gross combined, and I'd get a normal person schedule. That would be nice. More income + better schedule = more beiks and time to ride them.

Good luck. That sounds like a definite step up.

Yeah, good luck.

I graduated in May and haven't spent any time job hunting. I probably should do so.

good luck, ive spent my entire "day off" applying to jobs just looking for full time, hope i can find something before summer ends :(

least i get to ride my bike carrying my 30 pound bag uphill to work tonight

Today I put the sqrls refinished bike back together

What bike/frame is that? My wife just commented on it walking by and was curious

Its a GT rapid transit, they only made them for 1 year in like 1997, but it does have a nexus 7 speed IGH.

It used to be crap brown but I stripped it down and her dad powdercoated it for her.


In other news, my verbal percentile dropped by 3% and my math dropped by 5% since ETS cannot decide on what the distribution of scores are this year.

Got back from the doc. Bone is still filling in. I'm cleared to ride/walk, but no running/jumping. If it starts to hurt, they gave me a little rigid rubber shoe thing.

Follow up in a month.

This is getting old.

Today I rode my friends Klein Quantum...... SWEET JESUS ME GUSTA!!! I felt like I was in heaven.

Today I:
 

Got electricity back at the house after nearly five days without. I survived the storm with no injury and only minor damage to the house. Dealing with up to 102F heat (~80% humidity) with no fan for the past few days has really worn me out. Got to ride every day, though.

Now eating a roasted beet without butter because the butter did not survive the power outage. Still good. Hoping the grocery will be open and have refrigerated stock by the weekend.

Today I found out my baby mama doesn't have cervical cancer, and I'm through a six pack of blue moons happy as hell.

Today I had a mellow day dirt jumping.

storm blew in while i was at fencing practice, so rode home in a steady downpour. actually felt good after two hours encased in kevlar.

car full of (apparently) drunk 20something girls yelling "tough guy" and passing about 6" from me.

1. i resisted the urge to kick your car.

2. it's just water coming down, not scorpions. it's not a big deal.

Just imagined a storm pouring down scorpions onto a man riding a bike carrying swords.

Tough guy.

this made me LOL

today i did my first real ride at night coming home from work, i kinda loved it

/lonewolfpack

that would be so METAL.... :)

today i drunk

i -love- riding at night. it almost seems safer to me. drivers are so focused on the taillights ahead that i can slide through most situations, whereas during the day they see the bike and act like i'm going to jump in front of them just for fun. i run blinkies on strobe fore and aft, but they just seem to confuse people.

im glad i wasnt weird for thinking that in my head
im pretty sure my strobing flashlight up front made 2 people pull over because they thought i was some kindof cop from far away

Bike, dice, beer, scotch, nerdy game, friends, nice.
