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)

Today I did my 5 mile commute on my fixed gear, went on a 5 mile sprint on my road bike, and went on a 5 mile urban/off road mtb adventure.

Today I bought some take out at a popular college restaurant and I had one of those little sauce cups full of sriracha and I put it on top of the take out box and ended up dropping it. Right in front of a girl wearing a pair of rainbow sandals and short shorts, it got all over her and amazingly none over my sidi's amazingly considering the cup practically exploded. What I did next was more questionable. I said sorry and there's napkins there immediately but I all of a sudden had a torrent of laughter that made me rush out the place and hop back onto my bike and ride away laughing like a madman. I only realized afterwards that I didn't help her clean up at all. I'm such a gentleman.

Open office although is free; looks like absolute shiet, you have to be honest, the GUI even on a mac looks like office 1997...

This made me laugh out loud.

Today I helped a bunch of other guys tear down the props for our drama we just did at our church. It literally took all day. I didn't enjoy it very much.

God and Jesus does not appreciate your impiousness.

Today I didn't ride my bike at all. I was going to try to do the wolfpack on my Sputnik cause I said i was going to. But then around 9pm it donned on me that despite the 19/48 ratio, and the fact I likely could not spin fast enough to keep up with them and that I really didn't want to do anything tonight...I don't have a brake. like to my name I own only the brakes on my road bike which are not compatible with my Fixie. and I don't exactly know where my road bike is. So I texted my friend and opted out of zooming down a hill on that ratio with no brakes.

I'm not saying anything about my gender. I'll let you guys be up to it.

Who knows I could be a hermaphrodite...

Today(technically yesterday) I rode my bike across town for the first time since I broke my hip, which is the second time on it since I became broken. It was actually a comforting ride, though I'm not in shape, so I vomited after the ride to and from where I was going, and when I wake up, my calves will probably hurt again for a while. Anyways, I rode to my significant other's house, hung out with her for a bit, than got the call about getting a ride to the show(next town over) Than rode home to wait for the ride. Got a ride, and went to my first show in SO long since I got hurt, it was good to see everybody! Than I came home, talked for a bit with the ladyfriend, and now I'm here!

Any specific warnings? I use it and haven't had too many problems. Except for Outlook, which is a complete s**tshow.

Word and Excel consistently crash. I do pretty heavy data and graphical analysis using Excel, so that could be the problem...? But I still have issues with both programs even when they are the only two programs running on my laptop, plus the lab computers with worse specs running Windows can do the same data analysis in a breeze. My experience with Outlook is fine, but I really only use it for email notifications and the calendar.

Today I wait for my 1337 tarck pedals to come in at my LBS. Trying out a different LBS than usual this time so I'll see how it goes. After I pick those up I might journey to harbor freight and pick up some disposable tools.

Today I received the prototype for our upcoming windbreaker/light jacket (aka the 'Calv'). It was a perfect day to put it through the paces because this morning was misty/foggy and clear but pretty windy this afternoon. I can honestly say it surpassed my expectations. Stoked!

Today I got my package from primalwear, and broke in a new set of tires and am stoked on them and nearly was able to make my own entry for MS Paint your incident.

I just finished the front cxp 22 to formula beater wheelset; saving the rear for tomorrow. Being entirely silver, they look eerily similar to the stock kilo wheelset although I had performance durability and and price in mind XD
