No real reason considering my helmet usually leaves the house on my head BUT free stuff always makes things nicer.

Today I went clipless. It's awesome my pedal stroke is so much more efficient and smooth. I thought i was gonna fall on my ass all night but I didn't fall once I got crank bro's tho so i had 4 chances to get that s.o.b in there.

So this is what i got.

I like them so far seems like good entry level stuff.

Those Aerospeeds are good shoes for the price.

I ****ed up while trimming my beard, so it's 29 degrees out and I have a naked face. ****.

Let me say this about that... i put SPDs (cheapo Wellgos) on my fixed... previously had run them on MTBs and always set up the tension light. And all was well til i really "went for it" sprinting out of the saddle and a pedal pulled out (collapsed my weight onto the still-clipped-in leg, went around one pedal stroke like a rodeo, reclipped). You MAY want to jack up the pedal tension a little. Downside for me on my pedals is it's a lot harder to clip in than it used to be now that i've tightened them.

i have no idea if Crank Bros pedals are susceptible to this problem, but mine were.

I hope not. That sounds like a brutal crash.

no crash, i saved it through dumb luck not talent, but potential horrific event. maybe try a sprint surrounded by soft surfaces and not in traffic first?

oh and by "problem" i meant "it's hard to clip in" not OMG i pulled out of the pedal.

I ate some of my homemade duck prosciutto. Then i had some gravlax. A good day.

I love the Eggbeaters! They are on all my bikes.
Simple adjustment = there is none.

If you want less float, you install the cleat backwards

Today i 4.5 hour CADD class final.

today i still dont know how one needs or fills up a tb hd, unless it consists of porn or someone who is in the photography/film industry.

Today I'm bummed I missed out on the mtb FG conversion thread. Almost sprayed my drink out my nostrils.

Back up drive or piracy... I happen to have a friend who only "acquires" movies in 1080 and he has a synology NAS that's 8x3Tb's.

Do you use your computer?

It's 2012. Not too hard to fill up a TB.

That thread literally blew my mind.

I just finally filled up my first TB drive. Dug up my blank DVD stash and have started burning. Seems like it would be easier to just go get a 2.5 TB, though.

I have a 50 gig Linux Partition, a partition that houses an image of my work computer and then my WinXP partition. I've come up with a different backup method for work comp so I guess I can drop that chunk now.

Lotta graphics files, but mostly small CorelDraw vector files. Maybe 100 movies, about 4.5 GB apiece max, and a buncha race D/Ls from cyclingtorrents.nl.

Today I took my last exam for the semester, just finished season 2 of arrested development, and I'm going home in 3 hours or so. Good day.

Exactly...

I have a 100gb Windows 8 partitition. Probably gonna format it and re-extend my main drive though.
Cause... it sucks...


Today I took my last exam. I think i'm gonna change majors. Probably mathematics.

Today I learned the hard way that when you're using google image to find this image:

You'd better be damn sure you have safe search on. http://i.imgur.com/E26XQ.gif

Hahahhhaha, the good ol' Cleveland steamer.

Eeee. In hindsight. . . .

**** math. Broadcast/English is the place to be.

i currently have my feet under my hair dryer to bring them back to life after i had to cut my ride short

lungs burn

toes numb

Today I quit my shop job, losing my awesome discount, pro-deal ability and access to all sorts of free stuff. :(

Tomorrow I start a new job:

I worked at a place that had one of those. Endless jokes, haha.

I just got six bottles of Westvleteren 12 and two bottles of Fantome Saison, both of which are extremely rare beers. I'm stoked. Also, new haircut looks good. Between that and the accidental shaving, I look like I'm about 21.

Not a bad day.

Today I got this far and started wishing I had some barend shifters.

A friend in NY offered to buy a bottle and ship it for me, but I'm terrified that I'll lose it in transit. How were you able to acquire such a quantity?

not avail in WA :(

they're selling a "brick" gift pack with six bottles plus two glasses for $85

Well, DM me your address, send me a bottle of Pliny The Elder, and I'll send you a bottle of Westy. Also, Half Acre is releasing Big Hugs (Imperial Coffee Stout made with Dark Matter coffee) Sunday, and I'll snag you one of those if you have something else you wanna trade (Pliny The Younger would be acceptable, for comparison's sake haha). Also, haven't we had a beer-trade conversation before?

A joint down in portland. Was hyping the fact that they got that westy brew. Im OTW so just said meh.
