Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Bro, if you just started college you just entered a world where finding someone new and exciting is extremely easy. Build a bike (of course), but you need a clean break from old flames and light new fires.

Harvested more ghost peppers from the garden. So far I'm up to 350grams and just getting started. I expect 5 or so lbs, possibly more if the weather doesn't get too cool too quick and kill the plants.

So far I've found some sour things taste really sweet like a lemon, a beer and clamato.

Yeah, dude! It's no big deal. People have sex, go find someone exiting to sex.

Today was my first day back from a trip to visit family and consequently the first day I have been on the bike in over a week. Of course it was raining this morning. Regardless, it was glorious. I am currently working on excuses to take a half day at work for more bike time.

Truck got broken into, luckily I have nothing of value in it, lost my rear light and had a serious allergic reaction to something at the cross race last night and my whole body was swollen with hives. The last 24 hours haven't been kind.

Dang, dude, after you showed me yer arms I started freaking out a bit. Thinking "are my arms itching more than the normal wet grass itch? I think they're burning more than normal. What the hell did they spray on that grass???"

Hope you recover from that.

Your truck didn't get prowled at PIR, did it???

Nice! I just made some ghost pepper vinegar the other day, sooo good on chicken strips last night. Think I'm gonna throw one more ghost in there and then a jar of Crystal peppers then top it off with vinegar.

No, right in the drive way, granted its not difficult to break into my truck but they broke the back sliding window so there's that. I felt fine this morning though, a hot shower with a scrub brush and some benadryl set me straight. Hopefully that was just a one off thing cause I haven't had that level of an allergic reaction since I was like eight.
