You can borrow my "you have died of diarrhea" long sleeve shirt. It is very stylisch.
But no pants.
Conversation I just had with my boss
Boss: I'm supposed to be finalizing goals right now....I was looking through them yesterday, and there's a ton going on
Me: No shit
Boss: And you're doing more than half of it.....in case you didn't know that.
There are 6 people in our group. Time to ask for a raise methinks.

Caught two moar Chipmunks this morning. It’s a good day for murdering the evil, little bastards. Muh ha ha ha.
It sounds like you're in a position you don't need to ask, but more demand.
Just caught another one.
For what might be the first time ever (but probably not), I had to hang up mid phone call with the local bike shop.
Me: I'm looking to see if you guys have elixir brake pads in stock
Kid: what are they?
Me: Avid/Sram elixir disc brakes. I need new pads.
Kid: hold on let me get someone that can help
*On hold for 2min*
Both kids: did you say they were disc brakes or rim brakes?
Me: disc brakes. Elixir. Pads.
Kid: is that Shimano or SRAM?
Me: *Click*
Sorry, but this is why people buy everything online these days.

I would have hung up on you when I realized you were running Elixirs.
exactly. I was just lamenting this to my wife. Kid need skates and dick's doesn't have them in stock...you know who does? hamazon.
Great, now I want a ham sandwich sent to me with Prime.
Make that four
I'm thankful to have a very knowledgeable and well equipped LBS.
Also.
There are a couple very knowledgeable and well stocked bike shops, but both are 45 minutes away in opposite directions. This one is 5 minutes down the road from my house and have tried two or three times to give them my business, but this has been the result.
My LBS doesn't stock tires meant for wet conditions.
I too am eternally grateful for a competent and semi well stocked LBS.
They bad or something?
Actually I had a pair back in the day. Not horrible, wooden feeling, also not reliable.
These are from like 2011/2012, on my trail bike. Pad contact adjust actually works well, barely ever needs a bleed, plenty of power (for trail use) with my fat ass and 6" rotors.
Maybe I got lucky.

I trashed the master cylinder seals after grabbing the levers too hard while aligning the calipers. I think I would have been fine otherwise. I know others had similar problems, not sure if they too ham fisted them.
That is pretty ham fisty, unless you were still trying to get it to align with the caliper bolts tightened down. That is the only scenario that much squeezing force would be needed.
THIS GUY GETS IT!
Are those the light bluish ones in color? That's what I have

I've still got Juicy 7s from 2008 in service on the hardtail. Still work, and have without any complaints.
I will however be swapping them out for the Guide Rs I have in my parts bin, once I swap out the swollen plunger.

Had a kid at Performance quiz me on the various types of cable housings after I specifically requested a short section of SIS shifter housing. Wanted to know if it was for a brake or something else. I told him to never mind. Been riding and wrenching longer than he’d been on the planet.
Penis Massacre is pretty solidly set at this point, but album title suggestions could work. Cockamamie and Three Hole Punch are currently in the running.
i still have one too.
sis shifter housing... how is that not crystal clear?!
For god’s sake, it stands for Shimano Index Shifting.
I would have figured you for a Butt Trumpet fan. Unless of course they were just too similar in sound to the Circle Jerks.
