Chik-Fil-A is not a corporation, they are a privately held company, so by supporting them, you are supporting the actions of the company.

We can all try to do our best to do what is right.

rain pants and spd mtb shoes came in.

apparently my waist has shrunk and my feet have grown. both going back for refund/exchange.

found out that my new overboss (she) is a cyclist and that her boss (also she) has the hots for cycle guys (from hanging out with her aforementioned assistant). i'm up for promotion. they're both kinda hot/cougar-y. this could get bad. wife says as long as i land the job all is forgiven.

I can definitely tell the difference. He ****s up the shift coming around the corner every day, then tries to speed away like he didn't.

If it helps, he wears sideways Flexfit hats and white sunglasses.

Could be that he grinds his shifts just to show off that he's driving a manual. A tool either way.

I'm surprised he doesn't have a BOV to cover the sound.

because there's no heat at work, per governor's order, the wife made heating pads (rice filled flannel bags that you microwave, stays hot about a half hour) for my office crew.

lovely gesture. only added about 10# to my bag for this morning's commute. good workout. :/

Last night I rode down a twisty descent that is technically off limits to bikes. Fun as hell. This morning, I couldn't sleep so I went to work the extra long way. Half century commute, haha.

umd called the ambuluance for me when i crashed descending old san marcos road in santa barbara back in 09. his last words: "let me see how you descend..." my next memory: in a hospital bed.

i interened at the materials research lab at ucsb back then. those were good days, although i probably spent more time on my bike on the road instead of in the lab . i was fit as ****. /sigh

Today I sold my Dura-Ace crankset and my BareKnuckle frame on ebay. Thought I would have got more than $300 for the frame, but at least it's sold and I can get it out of the apartment.

Today I rode my bike in some nasty conditions. Had to walk some parts because the wheels got clogged with mud and wouldn't spin.

This is after the ride when I got home.
