But even that's becoming a problem, because now everything but the most rural back country is owned by someone or some corporation or government. It's a crowded world, only getting worse.

Chik-Fil-A is not a corporation, they are a privately held company, so by supporting them, you are supporting the actions of the company.

We can all try to do our best to do what is right.

Today I found out that the blue angels are in town for fleet week some twenty minutes away from me at MCAS Miramar :D

RGNY 10-11-12 05:26 PM

rain pants and spd mtb shoes came in.

apparently my waist has shrunk and my feet have grown. both going back for refund/exchange.

found out that my new overboss (she) is a cyclist and that her boss (also she) has the hots for cycle guys (from hanging out with her aforementioned assistant). i'm up for promotion. they're both kinda hot/cougar-y. this could get bad. wife says as long as i land the job all is forgiven. :)

I can definitely tell the difference. He ****s up the shift coming around the corner every day, then tries to speed away like he didn't.

wrx owners you never can tell.

If it helps, he wears sideways Flexfit hats and white sunglasses. :lol:

Could be that he grinds his shifts just to show off that he's driving a manual. A tool either way.

I'm surprised he doesn't have a BOV to cover the sound.

Today I bought rim tape at iMinusD.

cheaper than I expected.

Dannihilator 10-11-12 08:00 PM

Today I toyed around with the mtb.

RGNY 10-12-12 06:04 AM

because there's no heat at work, per governor's order, the wife made heating pads (rice filled flannel bags that you microwave, stays hot about a half hour) for my office crew.

lovely gesture. only added about 10# to my bag for this morning's commute. good workout. :/

Street rider 10-12-12 08:20 AM

Todays going to be a really long day. Class until 2, call time for band at 3:30, going all the way up to kick off at 8. Games not getting out until midnight, easy.

jimmytango 10-12-12 08:46 AM

Last night I rode down a twisty descent that is technically off limits to bikes. Fun as hell. This morning, I couldn't sleep so I went to work the extra long way. Half century commute, haha.

My god, he does! Did you ever meet UMD in person?

NateRod 10-12-12 10:00 AM

Bored. It's raining. It's cold. I need my other parts to arrive.

Lets get some NOS late 80s / 90s **** and clown it up a bit.

umd called the ambuluance for me when i crashed descending old san marcos road in santa barbara back in 09. his last words: "let me see how you descend..." my next memory: in a hospital bed.

i interened at the materials research lab at ucsb back then. those were good days, although i probably spent more time on my bike on the road instead of in the lab :lol:. i was fit as ****. /sigh

woke up and felt lucky.








my aunt died last night. it was a long battle with cancer and she stayed positive til the end.

eyeomegasquared 10-12-12 10:30 AM

Today I sold my Dura-Ace crankset and my BareKnuckle frame on ebay. Thought I would have got more than $300 for the frame, but at least it's sold and I can get it out of the apartment.

Mumonkan 10-12-12 10:59 AM

today i got financial aid moneys. really fighting the urge to blow it all on a sscx build.

now i go pick all the pumpkins!

MAGAIVER 10-12-12 10:59 AM

Today I rode my bike in some nasty conditions. Had to walk some parts because the wheels got clogged with mud and wouldn't spin.

This is after the ride when I got home.

I have the one on the leftmost as well; is it a spoke card scrod?

striknein 10-12-12 04:14 PM

Sorry for your troubles Charlie. I lost an aunt to lung cancer, it was really tough to watch. My mother-in-law just started chemo for breast cancer, it's tough to stay upbeat when you know how much suffering is about to commence.

RGNY 10-12-12 08:13 PM

enjoyed a bottle of Brother Thelonius. not a bad American dubbel.

used "gay/Takei" in a group that may have taken offense. my buddy and his husband use it freely, so i forget it's still touchy in some circles. just can't win....

got my replacement chainring bolts. chainring is now centered as well as it ever will be. will upgrade in the spring, after the salt has had it's way with my drivetrain.

Nagrom_ 10-12-12 08:29 PM

Got my Shimano R087's today. Pretty please for $35 bucks.
