I spent $10 on a monthly subscription to Beats Music on Sunday. Today, I'm wishing I had my $10 back.

Today I: in the matter of less than 30 seconds I reduced a roadraging motorist from anger to tears.

Idiot wanted to pass me while I had the slow lane and pulled over to cut me off from the completely empty outer lane and call me an idiot. I looked back at him and replied that his mother was the real one for giving birth to him. His red face turned 3 shades redder and he slumped his head to his steering wheel.

Jokes on him he made my day/ week.

Moments like this I wish I had a go pro.

This is why I have one, although recently I moved it to chase camera position. I'm getting suspicious of the drivers behind me.

Today I put some old bar tape on bullhorn bars I never really used. Going to test these out over the next month and see if I want to get some much nicer bullhorns or stick with risers.

today I dropped a knife on my foot, 3 stitches.


The biggest pain was cleaning the trail of blood on my hardwood floors from the living room to bathroom.

Sorry to hear that, but I keep thinking that at my place the dogs would have "cleaned up" for me.

I dropped mustard on my dog's nose last night. I couldn't stop laughing to get a photo before he licked it off.

Been there, done that. If only the knife blade had fallen parallel to my toes, instead of perpendicular...

I played chicken with a car today and got a soft right hook(I just had to turn with the car), saw it coming from a good bit away but traffic was slow enough that I knew it wasn't going to end badly.

I also want to ditch SPD and go back to cages because I forgot how comfortable skate shoes are. Only problem is I will need to buy another bike.

The black one turns 5 in May, the yellow I'm not sure, dog sitting, but I think he's around the same age.
