Bad hangover yesterday from too much beer and Jameson. I spend all day in bed watching season 5 of The Wire.
No such thing as too much beer and Jameson. Just not enough time for beer and Jameson.


Word from new employer that mandatory first week training session is not available the week I was going to start. Looks like I will have an additional 2 weeks fucking off. :thumb:

Last Saturday I ran into a kid and his mom who were pushing a Walmart style bike with a broken weld at the head tube. I recognized the mother from a restaurant we used to eat at so I stopped to see what was up. Basically the bike sucked and she wouldn't be able to get him a new one because of no money. I offered to give her on old Giant NRS XTC from 1999, I told her it was still better than anything she could buy new for $200. She seemed suspicious but took my number anyway. I didn't hear anything from her that day or Sunday so I assumed she was not interested. Today I got a call from her husband, he brought his boy by to see if the bike would work. It was a little large (size M) but with the saddle all the way down he rode it just fine. I threw in a pair of early 90s Suntour bear claws and he rode the bike home.

Now I am down to 6 bikes... in theory that means I get a fat bike in the fall! View media item 2741View media item 2740View media item 2740
This is what I have left: 1989 Serotta, 2004 Gary Fisher Sugar (the bike I ride the most) 2007 Trek Commuter, 2006 Trek Fuel, 2002 Giant XTC and 2008 Electra Amsterdam.

Today I am going to ride my Giant as my shoulder cant handle the road bike yet.

Bunk is one of my favorites on that show.

@Westy I agree I did not have to much actually my friend talked me out of doing even more. This was before the first shots had kicked in. I had the whole drunk man walk going on on the way home completely unable to walk in a straight line.

I have not liked any whiskey since my teenage years drinking way too much Shivas but damn Jameson goes down easy.

It is currently not raining. Time for a nice drive home (the long way) and ready for some soccer action. I picked up a new ball because I can. :fans:

I have no idea where I am
Paused briefly to chat with some of the trail crew and a random rider at a trailhead before riding. Random rider told me I needed to come out and work with them, then told me I needed to do trail work at least once in my life. Started interrogating me about whether or not I work on trails. Never met this guy before. My guess is that he's some novice who has a 2-3 years riding experience and think's he's the shit. This OG is about to start carrying a pimp stick...

Holy hell, the heavy rains of the last two days weakened the rail lines just west of me and the ACE commuter train just had the bad luck to derail and go into Alameda Creek with passengers on board. this is one of two main rail line from the bay area to the central Valley for freight and passenger traffic. Line will be shut for at least two days

Riding the baggage carousel.
Ha-ha I set of the scanner at the airport. The ensuing Pat search is a joke
I have done that a couple of times. Conversely I've been through wearing a big metal belt buckle without triggering anything. The whole ritual is a bad joke.
FSM forbid you try to travel as a fucking airline employee, to anywhere for any reason, especially in uniform on business though. TSA will be so far up your ass they might as well check for cancer while they are in there. The illusion of security.

I think that article said that one woman, who happens to be Puerto Rico, has the least number of bad SNPs in their DNA. Not equivalent to saying Puerto Rican woman as a whole are perfect.
I have found that Puerto Rican women love Waffles and that is good enough for me.

Not Puerto Rican. Girl from my trip to PR.
Either way you should make a appointment to get tested for STD's before you hook up with your wife.... Buy her something nice to get her off your trail.... Take a shower as soon as you get home....
