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 [...]
Seriously, my life is pretty dang good right now. I have a wonderful fianceé that I’m wildly in love with, and in 24 days, we’re tying the knot. I’m very excited about this. I’m excited about the new family I’m going to be a part of, excited that Kate will be part of my family, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Last night was a busy night on the wedding prep front. My first stop was mom’s place where I picked up a whole slew of childhood pics of me. Second stop was at my dad and stepmom’s place, for the same reason. I got a pretty solid stack of photos, and tonight I’ll have to [...]
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.
It’s Thursday, but it’s my Friday1, as I’ve got tomorrow off for wedding preparations. We’ve got a few things to address on Friday and on Sunday, including passport application for me (my old one expired some time ago, and I shredded it), and our food-tasting. Things are plugging along here. I was up in Princeton [...]
Crazy times. Things have never been more chaotic in our household — TempCat™ coming and going, social and wedding planning schedules that are utterly insane, financial planning, honeymoon planning, plus both our jobs, my framebuilding thing, and all that jazz. You’d think that this would be the causation of some pretty interesting arguments. In reality, [...]
