Any ideas? I was thinking Garmin mount, but I already have two.

Edit: Maybe bottle cages?

I'm doing a casing for a cheapo headlight. My manufacturing for design class is doing the same thing

If I had 3d printer I'd be popping out spring holders for mid-90s Shimano cantilever brakes. Those things are always cracked.

I'm working on 31.8 x 1" quill action ATM. So very ugly.

This is true, but it seems like an inherently inelegant problem.

Could I make SPD-SL cleats?

I love asking myself "I wonder if I'm gonna die?" every pedal revolution.

Oh, you do that too?

Also, today I preordered a Tile. Not gonna ship til spring, but once I get mine I'm putting it on/in my bike. If anybody steals that shii I'll be able to track it down on my phone and bring whatever various torture devices for the wrongful owner I feel like employing. revenge *****.

Thinking about gluing it inside my seat tube or something, but I don't want it rattling around, etc. or generally being a nuisance.

Busy Day:
Bought tickets to see this guy play in Brooklyn this month.:

What course?

I plan on going back to school for ChemE MS (I have a chemistry BS), and as such I will need to take some core undergraduate engineering classes as well. Mass transfer, Heat transfer, Fluid dynamics, blah blah blah

Wait, are you in HS?

johnnytheboy 11-06-13 11:30 AM

today i found out the pixies will be playing a small venue in my city in a few months.
bought tickets immediately.

Today is a rough day. Yesterday I went to court to finalize my divorce (which is fine actually, needed to be done and was a relief to be over, but still emotional and stressful). Today, the buyers under contract to purchase my house backed out because they are ******* investors who put offers on houses sight unseen and then wait til the last possible minute to back out. Apparently they don't even consider houses with brick foundations, but never asked if that's what I had so they took my house off the active market for 2 weeks just before the holiday slowdown season starts... I kind of want to murder kill them.

Later today I will be drinking all of the beers. Everything will be fine, my relationship is amazing, eventually someone will buy the house, bikes are still awesome, etc. Just got my hopes up about a new apartment and better neighborhood and a more sustainable budget and whatnot...

Engineering principles.

I'm in college now.

Today I bought tickets for both nights of Not So Silent Night.
Should be fun.



Left my helmet in a buddies car, so today I had to do trainer intervals. Man, those are the best, especially when it's 72 degrees outside with an ever-so-slight breeze and not a cloud in the sky. <___<

I hear you. I am dealing with a split up with my spouse and have returned back to my home state to deal with "our" home foreclosure, which will seemingly never be done. Been way more stressful than I expected.

The house will get sold. At least you've had an offer. My mother just went through the same thing a few weeks ago (house was "under contract" for a week), and is on pins and needles right now with another offer she is navigating.

Houses man...why?

Dude. Shut up. It hasn't been 72 here in I don't know how long. I woke up to a layer of frost on everything a couple days ago.

In other news, shot my first .22 today... .22 caliber nail gun. Not as cool, but still.
