Just got back from a good 40 mile ride on my roadie. Just as my wife was back from picking up groceries; not a good combo.

Ha! I was feeling lazy and didn't want to call and wake Angie up so I took the train - two stops. :lol:

So she had to go back out an hour later to get more?

Still applying to jobs, still unemployed. HOOOOORAY!!

Today I. Woke up at 6am as usual. Didnt want to get up (its Thursday and I have rode ~175 miles already)so I smoked some Herb and went back to sleep. Then I woke up again had a penutbutter sandwhich as I made Couscous for B-fast. Then I went for a ride to trader joes and my local LBS where I picked up some much needed gear-handlebar wrap, co2, levers, tubes. Im going to have a lazy day today.

Nah, I'll pick some up tomorrow after work. It's my day off today.

today i did a short 12 miles on the samson with the new gearing (went from 68 to 70) and it was actually harder than i expected. lol.

I went back to the office just to pick up my rb002 end plugs from scrod; installing them was metaphorically speaking, inserting a chode into- a you get the idea.... :p

today i got stuck on the wrong side a bridge as some fighter jets did tricks for a few hours...
i should have just kept riding around the lake.... i guess i didn't need to work today after all

Did you lube them with soap first?

Today I did 20 miles of hills on my roadie

But of course why wouldn't you? Friction kills the moment. :p

Nonetheless I think the last minute switch to lizardskins was a big part of it.

Ain't that just the ****in' best? :/

I have no money to do anything. I literally have 5 dollars in my wallet, it's just enough to buy a decent beer at the store.

I let of the tenants in the building rent a bunch of my art for a couple hundred. Tiem to sell out

Selling out is how you get ahead in life.

today I did a short (6m), slow paced, ride with a friend who just got her bike (previously mentioned). Anyway, outside of realizing I hate riding slow unless it's during CM, I'm using this more to rag on the shop near us. She took it back to get the wheels trued because they weren't, but they quoted her it in the job description for the labor. So I go over and I ask her what they said and if they did it. She said that they did both in 10 minutes but told her the brakes will probably eventually rub the wheel again because they're cheap...? And apparently all the adjusting they were doing were to calipers and not the wheels (wasn't there, going off being told).

I don't think the shop owner knows what truing a wheel means, and apparently this lady was the owner. I think they just spaced her calipers further apart so they wouldn't rub, but I didn't have her get off and look because I only cared so much.

Burn it down.

scrod your new sig is so scary LOL
i'm so confused
love it!

I love how this is your solutions to all bad bike shops haha.

Today I:

Edit: Since I got it for my birthday on June 27th

Ouch, you must be hurting for the early price drop.... I am a believer through of its 3D capabilities; but the lack of games and the intro price...

It was a gift, I didn't have to pay.... PLUS if you own a 3DS by september 1st they are giving away 20 free downloadable games! Tho, to be honest, I haven't even purchased anything for it yet. Thought about Zelda, but I don't really want to pay $40 for a game I beat 10 years ago. But I love it's other functions, and to all you people who say the 3D hurts your eyes? I leave mine of 90% of the time!

Today I watched my portfolio dwindle.

Nice! And that's nice of nintendo..

HTFU we're in recession.
Ironically I expanded mine...

Thought about investing more, as well.

Perhaps tomorrow, if it sinks lower. Buyer's market. Where though...that's the key.

Power Wind.. Stock abbrev is PWND. Seriously green energy is the future.. I made a LOT in the last quarter of 2010 :O

Today I assembled my new bike.. But I need a new tube and didnt realize it until after the shop closed. So I'm gonna ride it with my boyfriend's front wheel tonight.

Oil and gas has such a stranglehold on the global economy, it's hard to invest, even long term in green energy. The smallest hint of uptick in a company and it's bought up and outright by the major oil producers. The technology disappears. Global demand creates a disincentive.

Though, I do like wind farms, even though they kill birds.

And the notion of the stock symbol itself sparks some interest.

Yesterday me and three other bros attempted to eat 70 wings and failed. But now we have leftovers to energize us before we go to Six Flags tomorrow. Too boss.

Today I was told to "get a real bike" by some random choadie in a full kit as he passed me on a climb. About 10 minutes later I see him on the side of the road with a flat tire, talking on his cell phone so I rolled up and asked him if he needed any help and he responds, "That would be great".

"You shouldn't have been a dick to me back there", I said as I rode off.

edit:

today I opened my package from Retrogression, which contained a 1/8th 18t cog for the Mash and a set of rb002s for the Kilo. The 002s are really tiny looking, less reach than I was expecting, but from spending 20 minutes on my rollers they seem really comfortable thus far.

Also, Specialized Roubaix tape is awesome, it's stretchy, has a felt-like texture but has padding like cork, and best of all has no adhesive, just a grippy rubber strip on the back.

The shipping box was of particular interest. It was vertically compliant while retaining excellent lateral and torsional rigidity.
