yeah, that sounds about right. I am working on a body suit (only the legs remain), but I usually don't put pictures up.

Nice! It would definitely become a ****ty thread, but it's worth a shot...

Today I raced this course in 37 minutes with 71.4" gearing. Came in two minutes behind a paceline of roadies.

Spin for life.

I'd be all over a tattoo thread. There's one on ChiFG with close to 2000 posts and it's gone fine from what I've seen.
('scuse me while I be a hypocrite after complaining about all the some-ecards posted on FB and post one here.)



ETA... Also: today I was supposed to ride my bike to Milwaukee but I bailed because I haven't trained enough and kinda just wasn't feeling it. Instead I have the house to myself all weekend and am going to see Premium Rush and might paint the office a new color.

That's the fun part. Now I just get tattoos that I think are dumb to begin with.

eh, the best thing is to not give a ****. and/or get a really great artist. i mean i don't think my pieces are ever gonna look dumb - they are pretty and well executed. not that i'm opposed to dumb tattoos, i just haven't gotten any yet.

Two out of my four tattoos are pretty ****ty. One is meh due to the subject, and one is awesome. It's just the way it goes.

Today I spent an 1 1/2 ****ING HOURS at the Post Office and left without completing the transactions I was there to do because there were two new people there and no one knew how to add insurance to an International Priority Mail package. As of this moment, I am not in a good mood.

Just found out that my buddy Ian fell off of something (not clear on the whole story), got his leg impaled by a metal stake, and may never be able to walk again. Awesome.
