Donating blood right now. Yeaaaaaa free ice cream and cookies.

today my nutrition consisted of a bowl of honey nut cheerios and a small piece of gluten free chocolate cake, and i still managed to hammer the crap out of my ride home

got my first pr since summer, feelsgoodman.

On vacation today. Got hooked on 'Curiosity - what's inside the freakin cube'. I think the cube is growing. Don't touch the Facebook icon or you will lose your coins.

Today I started my first day working at a daycare for kids 6-12.....holy ****. Looking after kids is hard work. They're either jumping, fighting, yelling, or picking each others noses. Before leaving one of them came up to and begged me to come back tomorrow. It felt pretty awesome.

Ahhh man. I been there. After school tutoring for elementary school kids. If you ain't yellin at them every five minutes, you ain't doing it right.

They can get pretty attached to you too. Makes a whole lot of sense. Don't discredit yourself in that type of job, people who do that play a huge part in raising and teaching them.

The rear fender on my bike just up 'n' broke. About 1 year old. Thought my bike was getting noisier than it should, and when I stopped and looked, the fender was in two pieces. Took the shards to the LBS, the manager talked to the SKS distributor and they're sending me a new fender! Woot!

finished clear coating a customers Dawes lightning 1500 frame from BD.
color scheme and paint was actually fine, but he wanted a Texas A&M theme for his wife.

AFTER:

Nice job! That fork looks awesome in the two tone. Texas A&M brings back memories...

Today I drilled a brake hole in my Alien track fork. Frame, fork, headset, and bb cost as much as a nice predrilled fork would, so I just went for it. Scary with no guidance, but I had access to a drill press which made it all possible. I didn't have a jig or anything of that sort, but I managed to make a working system with no issues. I've been carving a lot of trails in my bike mechanic diaries this month, with just the help of bikeforums research. Feels good.

Today I had a decent session on the dmr.

Today I learned from my Asia bike industry homie that the brand Dawes is pronounced "Da Wes" instead of "Daws." Go figure.

Pake is pronounced Paw Kay

for some weird reason i always pronounced pake like that ^^^
and for the longest time i didnt know mavic was pronounced mah vic and not sounding like maverick without the er.

do you guys say keelo tt or kih lo tt?

Kee lo fo sho. Gotta rhyme it with the song "Comin' into Los Angeles, Bringin' in a couple o' keys, Don't touch my bags if you please, Mr. customs man"

Just got off the phone with the same friend. It's pronounced "Kai-Lo Tay-Tay."

Slow day on BF eh?

Wasted pretty much my whole evening on the internet. Time to buckle down and get some work done.

Today I dropped by my in-laws who are hosting this year to help do some preemptive-thanksgiving'ing.

Never thought I'd own a Mac. Better sell it quick.

Whenever I need to convert my bike into cash and a macbook I know the guy to call.

What generation is that macbook?

Don't worry haha. I'm reselling it. Too much of a PC guy.

2nd Gen

I can't wait to see the CAAD10 all built up

I cant wait to get rid of this goddam mac, hahaha.

I would be completely incompatible with a mac.

I'm not a fan of them. Although, this one is kind of impressive.

Nice, you sold it! When shall we expect your new build now that you have more funds?

Soon! The frame shipped friday, and I plan to take advantage of what ever scrod has planned for friday.
