Relocating there in January.....

Ran over a dead racoon riding to work in the dark this morning and managed to stay upright. I need a better headlight.

It's the 3rd world series I missed out on since moving here :P
I don't think the padres or chargers are gonna make it to the world/ super anything any time soon.

They'll prolly make it before the Rangers or Cowboys do though.

Fortunately for me I've always been an SF fan over SD, even though I'm from SD. The niners and giants are often pretty good.

I prefer SF over SD because of family from the yay area, and because of SD sucking and stuff

Today I:
 

Got a KMC K710 (non-SL) chain in the mail, on the advice of many BF posters. There is conflicting info online about how many links are included for the non-SL version, so I counted mine and got 112 including the connector. Good thing, since my bike has long chainstays and needs more than 100 links!

Not sure how I feel about the two-piece "non-reusable" Missinglink, though. I ran a SRAM PC-870 (same style connector) on this bike a couple years ago before I knew any better -- even removed it a couple times to clean the chain -- and had no issues, but since then have read dire warnings never to use this type of connector on a fixed-gear. I'm not sure what removing the thing does that riding it for thousands of miles doesn't, either, but I'm all ears.

You could just not use the master link.

today i just peed my pants at work, and have a serious need to play gta again.

gonna go home and change my pants and bring a tv and my ps3 in

Dire warnings? :lol:

There's absolutely nothing wrong with KMCs two-piece master link. I've even (gasp!) re-used them on several occasions.

Actually, I've found that omitting it and joining those chains back together by pushing in one of those flanged pins actually causes a weak spot in the chain that often makes an audible click with each rotation. Whatever you wish to believe, though...

See, this is the kind of feedback I was hoping to get. I prefer using quick-links rather than rejoining chains the old way, and was hoping that any problem reports were overblown. And if you trust them -- brakeless -- then I feel pretty good about them. :thumb:

Those dire warnings are crap. You'll be fine.

The worry is that the link will get compressed and pop loose. This will never happen because when the chain is under compression those forces are spread out evenly across the chain (the chain bows). That said, if you're truly paranoid, new links are cheap.

Yeah, you'll be fine.

After 4 months I finally heard from the company that I applied at in San Diego. I had to take an online psychological exam; I assume if I "pass" the next step will be an interview or a job specific test.

The way this NFL season is going it might be the Chargers and Cowboys in the Superbowl.

Today I made my semi-annual pilgrimage to my urologist, and this is one case where negative results are positive news. :thumb:

Also, I just returned from relocating another trapped possum into the country. That makes 7 possums this year, along with 13 feral cats and 2 racoons.

Those shrink tests are a joke. I've worked with guys that were totally certifiable who passed them.

IDK about the Chargers, but Romo is just one more hard hit away from his career being over.

USPS broke my **** yesterday. More than anything it's the let down that hurts the most.
What's astounding is both items were professionally packed separately and they still managed to do their hand to both items. :notamused:

I'm beginning to think it's a bad idea to ship expensive and heavy hifi gear that's susceptible to a postal worker's wrath.

Thankfully the seller, a friend of mine, has a technician friend here who put me to the top of his list, while he foots the repairs and wrangles with the claim.

I agree wholeheartedly. Hell, I'm questionable and I pass them, haha. I wonder how F'd up you need to be to fail one of those.

Actually, it's the people who are 100% sane who fail them. I guess they figure that we're all somewhat neurotic, and if we answer all the questions correctly then we must be lying. So, I would deliberately give some questionable answers, just to appear normally effed up. I passed every one I ever took that way.

Today I laid in bed until noon, got up did 33miles and now I'm going to move to Portland, Maine. Smell ya later MA.

That's the wrong Portland.

Last night I got a Halloween tattoo of ash from evil dead, tomorrow and Sunday I have cx races. Should be interesting with a fresh tattoo.

I have always suspected that because I never get hired at places that use these psych tests.

get some tegaderm from cvs/wallgreens/duane reade and pop it on there, its a lot harder to get off than youd imagine from something that just looks like saran wrap
