Today I:
15th wedding anniversary today. still awesome after all these years. couldn't have done it without her.
At any rate I feel less goofy about having ridden to iaido practice with the iaito strapped to my back now.
edit: Congratulations RGNY. Life is better with a good woman.

Watching the Paterek video on building racks and stems. Getting excited to start building stuff.

Today I'm going to see BRAID and Owen play an acoustic show. So stoked.
thanks everyone.
our secrets for a happy marriage: talk! and, don't marry someone thinking you can change them later. last five i saw go down the tubes were just that. "oh, i'll change him/her". never.
quick 4mi walk with the dog. now some lunch before going for a ride in anticipation of a larger than normal dinner at what passes for an upscale restaurant here. although, i'm told they have Dogfish 90 on tap. if there's also a good Irish singlemalt, we have a problem.

today i spent the morning getting my car emissions test (cars man why) and then getting my internet back up and running via HOURS on the phone with comcast. this is not a ***** about comcast though, turns out the problem was caused by my husband handling an account change improperly and it f-ed everything up. i lucked out and got one of those rare really helpful reps on the phone and he got me back up and running AND found a package that saves me $50 a month on my bill. i'll take it.
nice. my go to's right now are my 10" Global and a pre-war Sabatier, but i keep looking at the semi-custom patterned Japanese offerings.
ever cook with a true chisel grind?
the coffee mug thing is just for touchups on pocket knives. i keep a set of waterstones, a ceramic rod and a steel in the kitchen. i was a wanna-be chef, when i used to party with the CIA crew....

Congrats to RG and JD. I'm not sure how fifteen years happens. I've been married for a hair over three, been with her for six, and I'm amazed by that. Up until about a month ago, we had been on the brink of divorce for about a year.
Jared, I hate you right now. I ****ing love Braid. I can't tell you how many times I've seen them live.

Today I decided to just stop reading all the "n33d a fixay" and "what size kilo TT" threads.
Goes to 11.

Yesterday I did a loop and a half of singletrack, and got a flat from a goathead.
Why the extra half? The stupid ****ty clip on my buddy's seatbag broke in half, causing the bag to go flying off his bike and into the brush after a particularly technical section. Of course his keys and cellphone were in there too. We had to shortcut back to the same spot and walk the trail for a quarter mile until we could find the thing again.
In related news, Lezyne glueless patches are the tits.

I have a Global and love it. What marque Sabatier? I used to have a Sabatier Elephant, but it got stolen. When I did sushi, I had a Masamoto Yanagiba. True chisel. Loved it. It got stolen, along with the Sabatier and a few other nice knives and tools in my kit, from the Alinea locker room.
just found out that Dropkick Murphys are playing the Utica brewery, 5min from my house. i'm predicting mayhem and foolishness.
Today I took the rusted chainring bolt out that made the most annoying noise with a power drill
