Today my debit card was declined, so I went online to check my balance: $4.21. And I get paid next on the 15th.

Lean times for kaz. Good thing the show I want to go to tomorrow is free.

Ouch.

lol

I hear ya. I'm at about $2 right now.

If I even mentioned doing anything for our anniversary, my wife would laugh in my face. We have a hard time just remembering the date. My wife is awesome.

I hate the low balance blues. Just got done surviving a week @ $1.89. Today was first day with dough and now I have eaten so much it kinda hurts a little.

I bought my first fixie bike today. Going to be using it to commute.

I need a new big chainring for the CAAD. There are teeth half gone. ****.

hed belgiums came in.

i can't put old busted hubs on these things, they're too pretty. ordered some new 105 hubs, should help keep it all black without breaking the bank.

A lot of road rings come stock with a handfull of teeth half gone - makes shifting faster, smoother.

They are ramped.

Finally.

You're ballin now, congrats.

Time for CAAD10 goodness.

Today I: am back at work and recovering after an intense weekend + monday + tuesday of cycling in LA. Legs, surprisingly, are feeling pretty good. Random things:

-Mt. Baldy was ****ing epic. Bring lights next time. Maybe think about not doing it in winter when it snows.
-LA Wolfpack Hustle is brutal. One of my highest average watt rides to date - felt like a proper race complete with nutty pace lines, attacks, and sprints. Have to incorporate some of this style into our SF chapter.
-LA is actually a beautiful place to ride if you know where to go (Palos Verdes, Griffith, Santa Monica Hills, parts of Long Beach, etc).
-LA drivers are ****ing oblivious to cyclists.
-LA has amazing food/beer.
-The Marathon Stick (aka " Jandro's flexy dild' ") was the MVP of the trip and was shared amongst our crew after every ride. If you don't have one, get one.
-Being back at work sucks.
-I'm happy to see my gf, I missed her (queue "d'awwww").
-If you have a chance, go ride in LA, you wont regret it. If you think you can hang, do Wolfpack. Even if you get dropped, it's a hell of an experience.

Over and out.

nice ive always wanted to go to that wolfpack ride in la... its only a 2-2.5 hrs drive for me

seems like a regular roadie hammer ride but with a funner, younger crowd. id have fun

You'd have a blast! There was a guy running (I think) 46x15 on a VISP beastmoding it, keeping up with all of us on road bikes. Strava track, if you're interested in getting an idea of the pace.

Today I broke up a fight between two 12-year old girls on the street corner near the shop. They were afraid of me, acting as though the Creature from the Black Lagoon just crawled from the harbor. It was awesome.

Wait, that's not you?

For sure I would be drafting the entire ride. It was always a treat to get on Roadblock's wheel because he is one of only a few guys taller than me in the LA "scene". Everybody needs to come out for the Marathon Crash Race. I probably wont try to race again but it still a blast.

my ex girlfriend won

i made a wrong turn off the front a few meters

Got a Wabi Classic on the way, my first Fixed Gear. I've been lurking for about a year, couldn't stand it any longer.

It's winter. So....ask me again in March.

Today I cleaned my room because last night I found one of these in it. Freaked me out so much that I had to kill it and whiskey myself to sleep in the living room.
