So cool! Literally this morning some of my girlfriends and I started planning for a bike camping trip this summer.

Today I climbed this, it's a 1/4 mile from the house so pedaled back to it after my ride. After the right hand turn it gets steep.

I know a lot of folks don't follow instructions and don't realize that is a necessary task. I am amazed at the number of components that I find have became loose while my bike is on the stand.

Today I learned I could strip paint with Easy Off oven cleaner.

I thought oven cleaner was for stripping anodizing, maybe does paint too, though, never tried it.

Well my supervisor wanted me to perform a task today that takes 8-10hrs with minimal notice, like he mentioned it during a brief conversation about the delivery schedule for a big order.

Because I was "under-informed" (imo) and unprepared to start it immediately, I showed up at 9:45am after my 4-day weekend (jury duty and PTO) like um... god damnit

I finally got it started at 11:15AM or so. It's gonna be a long one over here...

Huffandstuff 05-20-13 08:43 PM

Worked me a ten hour day and decided that I was too lazy over the weekend so had a 20 mile ride, would of gone the full forty but phone was about to die and didn't want to lose my proof that I biked. Oh yeah, 48x17 like a champ.

Today I learned that kaz is a fat chick and I'm a nerdy guy, and we both don't ride our bikes. Damn this internet.

Muffin Man 05-20-13 11:47 PM

Internets is srs business mang.

Nagrom_ 05-20-13 11:47 PM

I guess the guy's bartape shouldn't have been called "icky."

Cause that really sets some people off.

blondieyo 05-20-13 11:50 PM

Today I sat down to start writing one of 4 essays due in the next week, well here I am, it's not going well to say the least.

Muffin Man 05-21-13 12:26 AM

I just found a boomerang in my room. Wtf. I don't ever remember getting this.

Today I tried to go cold turkey from 5 days on hydrocodone. That doesn't work.

That was probably mine. I can never get them to come back, they always just fly into the distance. Cuz I throw with my left hand or something.
