Lard
Speaking of... I have some lardo in the fridge. I should put a few shavings on some toast.
hi frens
I am sadly under bike-shopped out this way too. The closest one SUCKS DICK like not in the good way- the "fully priced ultegra clipless pedals from 1992" way, and the "we only carry trek" way. Then you jump up to the "$5000 is not enough to spend on a road bike" shop. I just discovered one down the road which may be promising...we'll see. They had some good shit but we'll see if they can bleed a brake or whatever dumb shit I'll need down the line. At least I don't have to visit hweel hworks anymore!

funny - we have a ton of shops around here, of varying skill and expertise, but definitely a number of good ones that i'd trust to wrench on my bike if needed.
there's one of those closer to the city. BITD (circa 2006) they wouldn't sell me individual spokes, despite calling ahead to confirm they had them.
I don't go to a bike shop, I have this thing call interwebz instead. 
Rode a little today. Shit's wet and the winter permafrost has unfreezed already. The massive rain storm in the next 48 hours won't make things any better. This winter sucks, but I have good beer so all is well.

Refried beans just aren't the same without it.Speaking of... I have some lardo in the fridge. I should put a few shavings on some toast.
Refried beans without lard are like e-bikes, fat people buy them to feel better about their health, but we all know they're fucking horrible.
Lard or GTFO.
For the record: lardo ≠ lard
Here also...
I have it on good authority that a monkey or a monkey-spouse similarly enjoys some butter in their coffee... I will not unmask them out of decorum.
Doubtful I will get to building it soon anyhow, given my duties with work and caregiving and family...plus I have some spokes and supplies that aren't even inbound yet which I'll need para hacer les coches. (working this Spanish into mi vida...)
My google asks me to correct the search phrase to para hacer los coches.
Goddammit. Lardo ≠ butterI have it on good authority that a monkey or a monkey-spouse similarly enjoys some butter in their coffee... I will not unmask them out of decorum.
sounds flexy...
Española ahora.
So THAT’S why my last girlfriend nicknamed me Tim!
...
Española? Una isla de los Galapagos?
Hey, that's the book I am reading now!
I still cry like a baby when I read The Sirens of Titan. I should not have read the book at age 11, it turned me into an old man early.
I don't drink coffee is all I'm saying.I have it on good authority that a monkey or a monkey-spouse similarly enjoys some butter in their coffee... I will not unmask them out of decorum.
Got my mt Bike back from the shop. Front brake problem was a combination of crap. Stuck piston, bad o ring, needed new pads too. They checked the bike over. Chain was badly worn replaced that. Tuned everything up. Hell it rides, shifts, and brakes better than when I bought it. They noticed a broken strand on the shifter cable inside the rear cage. something I need to keep and eye on. Well spent $80 for parts and labor IMHO

Glad you had a fair and honest shop experience. People never mention the good stuff. What shop, just for post preservation?
Livermore Cyclery. About 2 miles from my house. They do Road and Mountain and have 8-10 guys wrenching ranging in age from 20 something to old bastard like me. If they don't have it, they will order it for you. Text you when your order or shop work is ready/done
A few months ago my buddy had his Evil Following jacked while out of town. Fast forward to this week, a random homeowner chased off a burglar with his hand gun. The burglar departed in haste and the homeowner found my buddys bicycle. He turns it into the LBS and they get it back to the rightful owner.fuck yeah.
