Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

edit: Congratulations RGNY. Life is better with a good woman.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Elephant here as well. it was a salvage job from a junk pile at an antiques show. lots of t.l.c., but it's a joy now. sucks about your roll, i'd lose my ****.
