Wait...are those Dropkick Murphys references?

took the day off to drive the wife to a job interview (looking good, she -hates- sitting home), lunch at the local pub (pork cutlet schnitzel and a stout brewed in-house) and sampled some Knockeen Hills poteen (basically imported Irish grain alcohol). whoa, tasty, danger-danger.

ordered studded snows for the bike and went through my fencing gear to get ready for a tournament on Saturday.

Maybe, possibly.

Yeah, they (unfortunately) are. I ****ing hate that band...

Yeah, in the same type of music, I'd sooner listen to flatfoot56.

....The Tossers....

Today I'm going to Super Oktoberfest at the Tokyo Dome. All the beers will be mine.

I just realized that after I build up my wheels, and put on some ergonovas, there is really nothing I really want to upgrade on my leader other than the brake and fork.

I used to be in a band that was labelmates with them. Played a few shows together. Cool guys.

Yes.

YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT IRISH MUSIC, AND I'M BOTH DRUNK AND IRISH. I'm really drunk though. And all I want ot do right now is pass out.

Today I came to the conclusion I REALLY love my second job, which I want to turn into my primary job.

What an awesome mother****in day. Can't even sleep.

DO you want to maybe elaborate on this second job? lol

hells motha****in yeah! probably saturday

yes. lol. only song by them i enjoy cuz it makes me think of the departed which i though was a great movie

Today I picked up a new workbench for my shop... the tools were not included.

It has been an expensive week... :)

Found this random old gem of a tool in a towel my old neighbor gave me, (along with some other small tools and a patch kit)

This bike is SWEET.

If you are in Boston this weekend maybe I will pop up there as well. Its pretty case by for me. And depending on how long you stay, next thursday I am taking my high school kids to visit Firefly, Geekhouse and Royal H bicycles and get tours and stuff. Theres already a few non class people coming if your interested

So much awesome in those pictures. Looks great.

Today I'm probably going to buy a hot **** Peugeot mountain bike.

Yesterday I got a Windows 7 Nokia. I like it so far. I did not miss having a cell phone for the past 6 months though.

Last day of classes today. Sizing up an OCLV trek tomorrow.

Those multi wrenches came in a lot of low end bike repair kits and maybe they still do... and fenders on a commuter is the way it should be unless you live in the desert.

Yeah, they're junk. Bend really easy.
I wish they made a quality one, that'd be cool. Or if craftsman made a stubby dog bone wrench.


Today I got to weather test a new parka and my MW Sanction. Pass for both.

I was down to go ride fireroads today but the sky decided to rain. Instead I'm here and will probably change the shifters on the mtb for something to do

It was sunny here for a second, so I took off my boots and put on Vans. Then it rained a bit, so thought about putting boots back on, now it's stopped again so Vans might stay on. Think I'll just bring a second pair of sneakers and socks along, I need a break from boots.
