Today I was looking forward to getting up really early Wednesday morning to buy a Blacksheep jersey.
Today I found out that they don't sell the limited edition jerseys alone but that you have to buy a whole kit. I don't want the shorts.
Today I received an email from Blacksheep reminding me about the new release but it had all kinds of cursing and sarcastic condescension in it, as if that is going to make normal people want to buy their products. I realize that they sell out and really don't need to cater to the majority of people but still. It's just infantile. If the guy at the pizza place talked to me that way I'd go somewhere else.
So yeah, I was planning on spending some money but have decided to donate $100 to a hospice run by the Dominican Sisters instead.

Buddy of mine in NH just sent me some maple syrup for Christmas yesterday. Tapped from his parents' backyard
For sure, but I have had much better deals in the past on bikes the same size with better tubing. The size isn't hard to come by, I just liked the color. I dont feel like I'm missing out.

Today I got a 1964 silver quarter in change from the convenience store.
Apparently that is the last year they were made and it is 90% silver. Only worth about $3.50 but it is cool to look at.

I got one two weeks ago. Only noticed it as I dumped a bunch of quarters into my bowl for laundry money. Made a different sound. Dug it out and saw that it was a 64. Currently sitting on my dresser now so I don't accidentally use it.

Today I did 42 miles. Almost ate **** once when I hit a patch of dirt and lost control of my front end in the middle of a turn, but quickly righted the ship for a good Fonzie moment. Yelling obscenities seemed to help.
The space coyote lied.

Trouble is, they broke on my at the nose bridge after only a few rides. I've done this to a few pairs of nice shades, a real shame. I don't know if it's my fat head or what.
Hopefully Chain Reaction Cycles has good customer service and doesn't give me too much trouble. I'll be finding out tomorrow... Wish me luck!

I bought a pair of these, thanks for the suggestion. The prizm lens really is great, noticeable quality of life improvement while on the bike.

Today I have entered the final days of having the steamroller. The new project is replacing it.

Two pinch flats on my ride today. got some #roadbikesoffroad action in, and I guess 90/95 psi isn't enough for my fat ass at 69 kilos taking terrible lines.
Pinched the front going downhill and the rear going uphill.
