Today I (v2):
#4351
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.

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.

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.
