i dont have a threshold temperature where i switch to pants but we'll see how it goes as winter progresses

ah ok so i wasnt wrong technically

i wouldnt say its a threshold on the thermometer but it seems to be around there i say to myself "lets just put pants on"

that number is obviously higher if its raining, though snow is lower since it doesnt totally soak you to the bone. ive done shorts in snow a few times

I can put off replacing that hot water heater until next year, right? Car tires will last a few more months, right?

From the pic and price alone I was about to call foul until I saw this

You can stand to lose a couple pounds by skipping a couple meals too

Nine day vacation is over tomorrow, can't wait to get back on my bike even though PDX is still underwater.

I learned this trip that las vegas has the best vegan donuts ever.

I was fortunate in that regard. I am self employed and it happens to be the slow season for me, so I had no gigs to shoot. Just a million photos to edit. Had a buddy/colleague contact my clients and give them a heads up on the situation. Luckily, every client was understanding and totally cool.

Ha! That would be 'pushing' it.

Better get your naturalization completed before Donald Trump takes the oath of office.

Nagrom_ 12-20-15 08:21 AM

How do I go about unnaturalization once that happens?

Trump would probably favor deporting the whole cycling community, since we're all obviously anarchists.

Who won?

It went fairly painlessly, although it was cold out so my hands kinda hurt.

Lyzene tire levers and a pdw shiny thing took care of the situation real quick.

I am looking for new levers, my commuter set-up is a ***** to deal with. How are those levers on cold hands?

Why all those gears?



Actually, I love having both a geared and SS MTB, it makes trail much more interesting to ride repeatedly.

I want to enjoy a more casual mountain bike ride and go longer distances. One day I will be able to have two mountain bikes...

I got my wisdom teeth out on monday and just ran out of painkillers. I'm hoping I don't have to deal with opiate withdrawal. I think there might be a risk even though I've been taking them for less than a week, because I was taking a lot.

They hurt cause they're so rigid. Theyre ****ing indestructible though.

I am guessing you will have no problem finding a job. Then, new bike day!

Glad you are out and relatively ok! Those ICE facilities are so f'ed, just a fancier modern internment camp.

Hopefully you get some good relaxing rides in and find a good lawyer to sue the sh't out of ICE. The National Lawyers Guild might be very interested in your case and might be able to help out and they have chapters all over

Good luck with everything!
