drove across the state and back. placed 3rd out of 42 in my fencing tournament and had about 20 years on 1 and 2. my dinner companions afterward were a retired SAS explosives instructor, turned food critic, and a NSA interrogator. little weird.

one of my buddies at the tournament just bought a Trek Crossrip to pull his kayak or child trailer.

first week of the wife's unemployment. plan on having beaujolais and bail money on hand.

looking forward to setting up the bike for commuting tomorrow. ate/drank too much this weekend.

Was once again reminded how incredible a wife I have, after breakfast she said we should go to the Leatherman Store here in Portland to look at getting me a new one.

Picked up a Surge and an extra hacksaw blade for it.

Picked up 3 Sidekicks to give away as gifts and so my wife would have a spare while her PST was in for warranty service.

Wives are awesome. Mine let me drop a chunk of cheddar on co-op parts, and we had a nice shopping spree together to celebrate paying off a line of credit.

She set up her own computer today so I could focus on homework too.

You know the best way to celebrate paying off a debt?

more debt, hahahaha.

Paid cash for the swag, friend.

well **** me, good on you!

Today I did a bunch of yard work and got an easy ten mile road ride in. All in all, a good day.

new bike day!

Today I can't find my electrical tape so I can't put my newly acquired stubby Cinelli stem on. May actually have to ride bike all the way to Home Depot.

Today I did Muddy Buddy with a few friends. I was a little scared since I had not ran in almost 4 years, but in the end my friends were the ones having a hard time keeping up.

mmmmmm

i wanna see whats up with these mud runs but cant really run anymore..mabye CX is the answer?

Yesterday they had a "Color Run" here. All the runners were coated in colorful powder like that Indian holiday.

friend of mine from school just did one of those, never heard of it before he started posting phone vids

not sure i get that one

sigh... I think I'm gonna sell my camera and pick up a Olympus PEN-PL1.... They're dumbass cheap on amazon... Only a little over what I spent on mine.[h=1][/h]

Since I didn't read the first half of this book for a class which was due on Friday, I have to read the whole thing tonight. Started 3 hours ago, and I have about 70 pages of the full 200 left. Also wrote a paper this morning, slightly hungover, and then I have to formulate a survey about homelessness and then write a 3-5 page paper about it for Wednesday. I hate when professors have assignments due at the same time.

I was just playing with one at a store Saturday. I pretty much can't resist.

same here. That big ass sensor, man.... They're only $265 on amazon, along with a lens.

I think I'm going to buy one for my sqrl for her bday, they seem like a good deal and using my five year old Sony dsc h10 is getting old

That took way too long. We had to keep waiting for a guy that brought a fg with a 48/15 ratio. And they refused to eat while we were still moving. We has to stop everytime someone got hungry.

You guys wanting an oly pen; get it already! How many more pics do I have to post from mine? :lol:

~~ALSO, if you happen to live near a Ritz/ wolf camera, go there, the entire chain is going out of business and all things M43rds related can be had new at a steep discount. I managed to pick up a epl3 for dirt cheap.

how cheap is that?

Hahaha.

Today I rode to the grocery store. As much as I'm no longer in love with this gigantic Chrome bag, it definitely comes in handy on my grocery runs. Pasta, beans, spinach, broccoli, potatoes, onions, bananas, bagels, cream cheese, olive oil, beer, and room to spare. The X-strap rules when you actually need it.

of course when im done with my photo classes and im pouring all my extra moneys into things with wheels on them..
maybe ill check it out on my first day off in a month tuesday and see if they have any hasselblad stuff

Did I mention he was brakeless, and we had to go down some pretty bad hills in SF. :l

>4 bills w/ necessities & kit lens which I'm going to flip for ~1+ bill back

Today i got free rollers from Hellyer and a silver medal.=D

What route did you guys take? From the 4th and King Caltrain station along the bay trail to Mountain View is almost entirely flat with minimal obstructions. Totally doable at that ratio even if brakeless.

They're still racing?

We got off the train at 22nd street for some reason, and we had to go through mission and through the hills. They wanted to follow the SF2G directions word for word.
We effectively did this: http://app.strava.com/activities/sf2...ource=sf2g.com

I think it was Junior State Championships today.

Rad, I think I see you on my friend's photos on my instagram feed. hah
