I just bought a cheap kiddie trailer off eBay. You'd barely notice your lab in it unless you hit a hill. Sometimes though, it's easier to leave the mutt home, not because he's trouble ( he's not) but more because it's just one more thing to worry about. Of course, I could take the dog and leave the kids home :rolleyes:

Yeah, let Jesus watch the kids for a little bit ;) lol

Yep. He had already left our club and moved on to team racing when I started riding with them. I met him the first time the other night at our club's Christmas party; he was the guest speaker. Then he showed up yesterday. He's a good guy with a great head on his shoulders. For the record, I didn't ride with his group ;)

Today I ordered wheels, BB and even remembered cogs. Okay, I forgot the cogs but did a second order for them. Hmm, now I am wondering if the wheels come with lock rings... Oh, well I still have time before the frame is painted up and ready for components.

Pretty excited, this is my first fixie project and it's been a lot of fun planning, polishing etc

gracias, amigos.

car shopping, apartment hunting, winter base miles (especially since i haven't really ridden in like 2 months, school why?!?!?)

and my sister told me she wants her guitar back, so now i gotta go guitar shopping (no more bike money for now)

but i'm thinking the next bike should be a touring rando something style bike with racks and bags and fen-derps.

work starts March 1...!

jimmytango 12-23-12 06:45 PM

Congrats, gooey!

With each minute that passes, I'm getting more irritated. I'm surrounded by dunces.

took the kilo out for a spin and realized how terrible the stock kendra tires are. things sounded like plastic being drug on the pavement when I tried a sweet skid, and they ride like plastic. need moneys please

Stripped down an old Schwinn for the vintage Sugino SuperMaxy cranks. Grabbed a titanium Cinelli stem from the shop parts bin. Enough parts to build up the rest of the Novarra steel frame should be arriving tomorrow.

Merry Christmas to me...

Just nailed a maple brown sugar fudge recipe.

Nice to see you around these parts again tejano!

Today I saw the bad bay area weather and the Christmas time of year as a good excuse to have a lazy day with the sqrl. Ended up watching the robocop, rambo, and working through the LOTR trilogy right now.

Thanks, man. I see that Scrod has passed on his mod badge to you. May the force be with you.

Hairnet too !

Dannihilator 12-23-12 11:45 PM

Reeses 12-24-12 12:53 AM

Leukybear 12-24-12 01:15 AM

Hold the nozzle body not the cartridge itself! ;)

Today(yesterday) I decided to clean my chain, and I some how managed to actually break the link. Now my chains too short, and literally just the other day I threw out my extra links thinking I wouldn't need them any longer. LUCKILY I found a 42 tooth chain ring in my bin which just barely works with the chain, so I installed that in the event I can't find an open shop today. Now I'm running 42x18 instead of 48x18, but I'll be damned if anything gets in the way of me having a chance to bike 3 days in a row. Oh yeah, merry whatever it is you celebrate.

Mumonkan 12-24-12 07:36 AM

Today i commuted to work for the first time in weeks, now im stuck in the mall 6am-3pm

RG isn't technically open today but I'll be there for a little while this morning to take care of a few things. I've got a ton of extra links hanging around. Come by and I'll hook you up.

oh sweet jesus!

misskaz 12-24-12 09:14 AM

Today it's official: I won my fantasy football league! Woo!

And now, grocery shopping (oh god it's gonna be a ****show), booze purchasing (ditto), pie making (woo!) and presents exchange with the boyfriend (double woo!).

Tomorrow, Friendsmas 2012. Let it begin.

jimmytango 12-24-12 09:53 AM

My phone doesn't want me to do reply quotes, so you get it in long-form.

TT, good to see that you're still around.

Leuky, I give. Who is it?

Last night, friendsmas with some of the most awesome people ever. Today, heading out for my three day Xmas adventures. Happy holidays to all of you!
