Today, I'm tired.
Yesterday, on my 9 hour flight from munich to newark, our pilot had to turn around because they found parts of our landing gear on the runway. 7 hour delay, then we got in at 2am. That was fun.

Today I decided to nickname my new bike out of sheer boredom. I've decided to call it the Rotary for right now, just because the chain is somewhat loud when i start from a stop, but as i go faster it moves easier and get to this nice buzzing sound just like a rotary engine. Although, I'm sure that noise from the chain could be an issue, but I can't seem to figure it out, I've lubed it with the teflon chain lube and it still makes noise.

Perfectly fine, actually. I was hoping we would be lopsided or something but you couldnt even tell there was an issue. I assume it wasn't anything important that fell off, but that it meant something else might be loose.

Today I filed a police report for my wife's bike (stolen from our detached garage). Total waste of time but I need it for insurance. The scary part about the whole thing is that they saw my bike in the house, lifted the screen, and found out the windows were locked. We were in the house, sleeping, and our 4 week old twin boys were two rooms away. Not cool. And they skipped over all of the power tools and stole a 2006 Trek hybrid worth maybe $150.

Does your insurance have a low enough deductible to even cover that? Or do you have a rider for the bike(s)? My homeowners insurance won't give me a rider or personal property policy for my bikes which I find to be really stupid. They'll do it for jewelry but not bikes? Annoying.

you should retake undergrad level physics in your first year of college anyways (imo)
it's kind of important for the rest of your education if you're doing engineering

Probably a better spend then the iphone app. I like how it unsubscribes me from threads after I post with it. Kind of defeats the whole purpose.
