dont care.

also as far as i'm concerned/care everyone (at the protour level) is still on some form of PED.

cycling becomes more and more dirty the more elite the level. even your p/1/2 local crit monsters are taking PEDs, racing dirty, crashing ppls out etc.

Today I started shopping for vid cards. I've decided it's finally time to get an nVidia with a 3-digit number.

20 fps is getting to be a drag.

3x 690 or bust!

It just seems like yesterday that I was using a 8800 through... those were the good old days when nvidia didn't knock your card off the top overnight.

I think the black & red doesn't look too bad. If it was up to me I rather have the one you received.

Must be time for a bike ride here.

Today I went to get the road bike, but found out that it's not the correct size. Sucks, but oh well, the search continues.

53/54. It was a 56cm, which I just can't make it work.

Edit, was also nearly taken out twice today, first by a guy on a comfort bike salmoning up a climb and going the wrong way on the road. Second time by someone in a chevy impala who wasn't looking before making a left. Gave the comfort bike the benefit of the doubt, but gave the impala an insanely dirty look.

Today was a good day just tooling around town for hours. Having keys to the co-op is great, it's like a second home when I need to take a break and chill/nap/wrench and be all alone. I'm enjoying brakeless but I dont know how much longer I can keep it up.

Thought about starting a tattoo thread, then I got scared. Too much potential for threadcrapping.

building that wheel will seem like it took 5 seconds by comparison, hope you got a lot of grades of sandpaper and some polishing compound








and like ten years of free time

Oven cleaner + 200/300/400/600/800/1000/2000 grit sandpaper + brown/white cutting compound + buff wheel + an entire saturday = shiny ass rim.
