Been carrying it since I got it. Makes sense. I ain't tryin to mount a 23c gatorskin or rando on the road. A saddle bag helps.

Today I went to Sheldon to solve the tiny chainring wobble and intermittent "GOMP-GOMP-GOMP" vibration that was robbing me of the buttery-smooth FG experience (in spite of running my chain slacker than most.) Turns out my bottom bracket spindle is slightly bent -- hopefully the new one arrives before my cups get trashed.

But srsly, both bikes are ace.
Today I caught a flat on the townie, not even halfway through the commute. Had to hop on the L train and be 'that guy' with a bike during rush hour. But i still made it to work on time so i win. So far.

Propagandhi show tonight, been waiting years to see them. Comeback Kid won't be too shabby either. Building some bikes at the co-op before hand and watching Man United at the bar before that.

Man, I love Propaghandi.

with the exception of possible studded tires, i think i have all the parts i need to make the Nature Boy my winter commuter. if it's like last year, i won't need the studs.
the ribbing related to being the only bike commuter at work continues. today i was wearing my Surly wool cap: "oh, isn't that nice, he got himself a little riding hat." as i'm not about to be the one to punch a 50+ year old nurse in the mouth, i responded with "how nice you feel so free and safe that you can share your opinion." all i got was a confused stare, but i felt better....

mall management doesnt call carting for a week and everyone else decides to be an inconsiderate prick, gj all involved.

then my lazer was waiting for me at my door when i got home, yay safety!
now to bake kickass protein muffins
/edit: no muffins, aparently this is the day my dad decides to use the oven for the first time since ****ing may.
now im pissed and im gonna do angry reading for sociology.

I saw The Perks of Being a Wallflower and The Master back to back. Both good for vastly different reasons.

Central NY? as long as you don't mind living about 10min from "the hood" a three story Victorian w/ leaded glass entryway, maid's quarters in the attic, finished and root celler, walk-in pantry, Shaker cherry woodwork, fireplace and detached garage goes for around $50-60k. our post-war 3 bedroom cape? $48.5k. it's wild, but here unless you work for the state you work for Walmart.
