I’m so tired. Today, I am only doing 7 hours at the office, which means I get to leave at 2:30, but more on that later. I feel like I’m at the cusp of the marathon. For me that usually happened around 17-18 miles: “I’ve come so far, but I still have so much further [...]
I should never be allowed on the Internet before my morning coffee. Ever. I said some harsh shit on a framebuilders’ mailing list that came across much more biting than I had intended, and then I ordered the wrong type of fork crown for a project. Of course, this means I’m in a shitty mood. [...]
So yeah, it’s promising to be another long/busy night. I have to clean and prep for the bachelor party weekend. I want to make some tweaks to Bike612, but that’ll probably get back-burnered. I also want to go for a ride tonight. Fuck “want” — I am going for a ride tonight.
So last night after work, I scrambled over to Penn and picked up a tire to match the one I already had. Then I scrambled home to build up the bike for its first test ride. The build itself went very smoothly — the only issues have encountered are corrosion inside the bottle cage mounts [...]
Hell yeah, what a day. What a weekend, really. Been rocking the bike stuff hard. Friday night started with Minnecycle 2010. Showed up and had an awesome time. Hung out with Paul and Vincent, met Curt Goodrich and had a good chat with him after a bit of a go-’round on a mailing list. Took [...]
Item number 102 for the “101 Things in 1001 Days” project: stop taking shit too far. Just because a joke is getting laughs doesn’t mean it needs more laughs at the cost of someone’s feelings. I’ll let you chew on that one without being specific. The important part of this post is Kate. Yesterday, she [...]
Because of the impending closure of MplsBikeLove, I’ve opted to set up Bike612. I’m hoping that it will eventually be as awesome as MplsBikeLove is/was, because the Twin Cities community will be poorer without a dedicated resource. This wasn’t intended to be a dick move or anything like that. I think Jeremy Werst is a [...]
…I hope there’s a lot of stuff like this. Tooling around on my Cervelo with Mooch and my other cats on penny farthings sounds like a pretty awesome time.
Hey there, Internet. Hope you’re well. Things are pretty good here. The dental appointment yesterday went very well, esp. since I hadn’t been in over three years. Only two tiny cavities. Cleaning went well, got fitted for the whitening trays. Go back to get the fillings and trays on Friday the 16th. Rock on. I [...]
The Talbot Manual is available as a series of scans. The previous edition of the Paterek Manual is a good starting point, and also a free download.
