I just broke a tooth. Don't got no dental insurance. There goes this month's social security check. Was about to place a big bike parts order. Oh well.

I got my fingers crossed until the end of the year. But I already have zero expectations.

Just called my dentist's office, and it's closed until next week. Gotta htfu and hope I don't get an infection or abcess until it gets fixed.

Ha, no I'm just a cat 6 :-P the race was on Sunday, yeah? I climbed it on Saturday. I go on Wolfpack rides occasionally though, I think we met there once.

No, but he came in 4th. He didn't lead me out. I pretty much used some other random team's sprinter that was led out too early as my lead out

Maybe not fast, but not slow either. You would have beaten most of my friends that I rode up with. I was one of only a few to be under 2 hours in our group of 8.

Oh whoops, I got my days mixed up because of the long weekend. I need to make it out to wolfpack again one of these days. I got to take off work then make sure it isn't in the East Bay on the last Monday of each month.

Yeah I don't get out to it as much as I'd like either, lately. Just checked out your Strava for the Hamilton race, damn! Nice work!

Yeah I improved like 10 min off my previous time, so I'm sure I can do it. I forgot to take the time at the bottom of the climb, so I didn't know how much time I had left.

Today my demented nearly blind elderly woman neighbor accused me of being the cause of all the dirt on her back yard pavement, claiming that I had caused it when I cleaned mine, which I did years ago with a pressure washer. She also called me a liar and said I had done this recently using chemicals, and was going to hire a lab to prove the point. She threatened to get a lawyer and sue me if I didn't pay the cost of cleaning her pavement. Man, I am really pissed off.

Thing is, she is probably crazy enough to hire a shyster lawyer to take me to court, which could force me to spend money on legal representation. Otherwise, she could get a default judgement if I didn't appear. Either way, I lose.
