I had a lunch, didn't take note how long it was.

The first ten are the slowest, then you get a rhythm. Probably ten minute builds once I get rolling.

My partner and I knocked out almost a hundred bikes today. Wally world is getting ready for black Friday/ Christmas. The money will be good through the holidays.

Almost got hit by some car turning left in front of me today and had to do a sw8 skidz since I couldn't turn out of the way/ground is covered in leaves. I luckily didn't go down but it was close cause I was just about sideways . After I passed the car some cross dork came up beside and told me "Nice recovery on that".

This time of year is just complete death with the amount of leaves/rain on the ground, I don't think I've made it through a fall without falling at least once.

Trust me, I know.
If everything goes right, in the next three years I hope to have an AS in welding tech, and a BS in a science. I'm thinking Chem instead of physics.

Not to get all touchy feely, I do appreciate all the advice you guys give to the younger users here. I definitely take it to heart.

TMonk 11-16-13 12:59 AM

Oh word

LMK if u ever have chemistry questions. I have a chemistry BS and work as a chemist (research associate - nanotechnology).

Chemistry is cool, but I wish I would have done something more electro-mechinical. And engineering too. I'm business/efficiency/process minded (like my father) and always did better in math than science newayz

Anyway you seem smart enough and having a BS will make you eligible for (potentially) more fulfilling and higher paying careers than you otherwise would have, by having high-demand technical skillz

But you already knew that so blah blah blah

edit: also im drunk

I just stared a olive oil/chicken marinade for chicken that I will grill when I return from my 5hrs ride. I googled and there were so many variations that I just kinda winged it. One useful piece of information that I gathered was 1:1 soy sauce to olive oil.

1lb chicken
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tea worschester sauce (did I spell that right?)
2 tea garlic powder
2 tea onion powder
salt, pepper

I wanted to add mustard but I thought it would be too much going on. Perhaps I will try to add mustard in it's next iteration.

Last night I got a flat and swapped tubes. Filled with CO2 and the replacement tube burst. Walked it home.

Today I washed my car and swapped one Rando from my other wheelset. One tan sidewall Pasela, one Rando, don't even care.

SpeshulEd 11-17-13 08:43 AM

Maybe you had something in your teeth.

GENESTARWIND 11-17-13 09:58 AM

today i'm supposed to be meeting someone off craigslist to buy that tarmac frame i got yesterday.
if the deal falls through and any of you guys want it, lemme know. i'll make a sweet deal for a fellow bf'er.
it's literally a brand new, never assembled, never-even-had-a-wheel-installed-on-it 2009 tarmac comp.

Why are bike shops closed on Sundays? It's like my main day to actually get my errands done and the closest 4 bike shops are all closed, I had to go a whole 2 miles from my house to have them not have a 16tooth freewheel. Grabbed a rear wheel/tire/tube/tape/grips though while I was there for my trek MTB turned grocery getter/mess around bike though.
