Hello, my friends. I had a nice 25 mile ride on the douchebike last night. Windy as hell though...I went nice and easy for 10 miles into a headwind, then gunned it when I turned south and had a tailwind for 10 miles. It is really fun to be down in aero, way up on the saddle, and hammering. WHEEEEEEE!!!!! 18.9 mph avg.
Stayed up way too late trying to track down an annoying creak on the Mt Bike. New BB, found a lose pivot bolt and a loose chainring bolt tightened them both. still no fix. Going to toss on some spare pedals and see if that does the trick. I did go over the frame looking for any cracked welds etc none found.
Also still tring to track down an electrical gremlin in the trucks trailer hitch. new relay should get delivered today. I'm hoping that fixes things.
They did a new software roll out yesterday, half the field units trip computers won't work on it so they are purchasing newer ones with the latest OS. in the meantime its paper run sheets and text messaging
Need way moar coffee

that stuff is definitely choice. we worked with an artist a few years ago who cnc'd it for the parts that made up the framework of the hemispheres of this commission:

Woman-child has torn through the first three harry potter books in the last two weeks, so wife wants to take her to Universal Studios to do that whole thing. That's a long way of saying it looks like were going to LA this weekend, which means I gotta pound out a whole bunch of chores and house shit today. Oatmeal, coffee, and poop first. Not necessarily in that order either.
do you ride clipless? sometimes the cleats will cause a small creak when clipped in.
also saddle rails.
But the frame is only 2.5lbs!It's a Trek. There's a crack in the frame he hasn't found yet.
Morning. Wife's leaving for the old country tonight, I shall be a single man for the next 10 days. I am hoping for much riding in my near term future. Also, warranty replacement RF dropper is in the mail. I've seen some rumors that a whole early batch of Easton posts was bad and many people had air loss / slipping issues, I hope they fixed it.
Is it Friday yet?
But he is skinny again.
How is the douchebike in crosswinds?
Hello folks.
Our scheduled NetApp installation for today is cancelled due to the gentleman from North Carolina getting severely sick from some food. Bummer.
But, this also means I won't have to stay late and can join in on the first group ride of the year tonight. I'm going to be sucking wind the entire time, but I am excited.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

Soccer after work with the boys, then laps in the park and then more soccer this morning and a ride to work. How lucky I get paid to sit down and chill at work!
Can I have it then?
No aero wheels so it's not bad...no worse than a road bike.
Damn. I'm still stabbing meat-bags in Dallas. I'll be home Sunday night. Please tell me you'll be staying through Monday.

Two days of classes are over. Today we practice. They brought the Orbitron this year and I'm excited to see people ride that beast.
You too, eh?
Finally spoke with Race Comp. Even though Bilstien denied the warranty, RC is going to give me two front struts for two bills. Not bad considering they retail for north of $700 for a set...
Can't wait to get them back. These stock struts are rather marshmellowy.
you need to kick R Kelly out
All's good in the hood! All day meeting/"training" for our software implementation. Easy transition from vacation.
So I just got back from a lunchtime run down to the bike shop... wasn't expecting a $320 hit to the wallet 
was picking up my LEV that I had sent for a service: $131. Three derailleur hangers at $32 a pop (NSB). $45 chain. One bottle of Rock N Roll Extreme... that shit adds up quick. Add that to the $50 for the cassette (which admittedly is cheap for a cassette), and $75 for my RadR cage from OneUp... this is an expensive drivetrain renewal and spring tuneup. Good thing I already had my new Zee derailleur and WolfTooth chainring from a couple of seasons ago.

When I was a kid I would poop with the bathroom door open. I would now too but I close the door to keep the cat off my lap.

If I can do it, you can, too.
Success on the Truck: wrong relay was in place (previous owner or shop) and a blown fuse. replaced both and I have power to all the hitch electrial connectors.
Success on the bike, on more lose bolt found plus some lubeon the cleat and the bike is silent
Lunch break well spent
Wrench on your own bike? I am. That's just the parts. except for the dropper post - I sent it back for a "factory" rebuild. They replaced the stanchion and cartridge, so now I have a spare should the first fail.
Dude just went up on one chest hook. Damn.
