can't. reach. boat. :(

:lol:

This morning I got my first puncture flat ever on my 2 year old Pasela TGs. It was 6:30am, I was about 5 miles from home and wouldn't you know it -my 15mm wrench was in my other bag. Stupid.

Huh? It's right in front of you; hint: look for peanut in arms length. ;)

Today (technically it was today since it was at 1:30 am) I was riding home from a night of beers and karaoke and heard gunshots. I slowed down and paid attention to my surroundings but after a few blocks I figured all was clear. Then I turned west and I see right in front of me a group of guys running across the street and jumping into a car. The guy driving is so anxious to get going that he is moving while the guys are still trying to hop into the car. I see another guy standing on the side of the road obviously talking to 911/the cops and reading off the license plate number. I come to a stop and watch the car continue west across the intersection ahead of me. The light turns red and as I'm waiting, cops come flying down the street and start to turn east. I wave my arms and point and tell them the car went west, they asked what kind of car (white Mazda3, I know because I have a Mazda3 myself) and turned around and flew after them.

The light turned green and I crossed the street but I really had no interest in following a police chase, so I pulled up on the sidewalk. There's a bar right there on the corner and the bartender and a couple customers were out smoking and saw the whole thing. They suggested I come inside for a bit to let things calm down so I did (and they let me bring my bike inside so I didn't have to lock it up).

The bartender bought me a shot of Jameson for "doing my civic duty."

/cool story, bro

Fun times in the city. What area were you in?

Roger's Park, far north side at Broadway and Granville. I've lived in Chicago for 9 years and it's the first time I've ever heard gunshots. I used to live about half a mile south of where all this went down but on the other side of Broadway. East of Broadway and things are pretty sketchy, west of it and it's a nice residential neighborhood.

Today I:
Like all other days, I have my list of dealz to check out. Stumbled on Western Bike Works deal, and was interested to see some other designs. Headed over to Amazon.com to check it out, and found this:

Pretty tempted to get another jersey, but I am not quite sure this is the one. Tho, I am sure someone here will appreciate it.

Been there. Then I'm in that moment where I try to decide whether I should lock up the bike somewhere and run home and grab my vehicle or just walk the ****er the entire 5 miles. I always walk it :/

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.
