Hola, banditos. Another gloomy day, two weeks to the day before I take the oral boards in Louisville.

Who knows of an easy way to mail a complete wheel set?
This seems to be my mission today but I cant seem to find an easy way to pack them and I dont have huge supplies of cardboard boxes available...

Get a cardboard wheel box from a bike shop that they might have lying around?

G'morning. Coffee's working early today. Meetings all morning, bit o' work this afternoon, then (hopefully) riding. It's raining now, so we'll see. Big ride on the docket for tomorrow, some stuff I've not ridden despite it being less than 2 hours from the house... getting in to the high(er) country a bit and hopefully poking through a few snow drifts. Still need to write a trip report from Kokopelli, and now from Durango.

Morning. Just handed out my Senior awards and am enjoying some quiet and a cup o' joe in my classroom while the assembly continues :) Had a nice ride last night before the rain came in and managed to get some work done afterward.

Yeah thought about that, unfortunatly my LBS is a bunch of dicks who deem you worthy of their attention only if you walk in the door with the intention of buying a high end hybrid bike.
I avoid them as much as possible. :D
That's why I usually just wait til they close and go grab a box out of the dumpster.

Mornin everyone! Took the pup for a run last night and hopped on the trainer after to get out a bit more energy. Will probably do the same tonight, this whole heavy rain thing has put a dampener on my riding plans.

Helped my dad build a huge retaining wall yesterday out at my parents' cabin to help level some ground. He was hoping to just get the first tier done yesterday since that takes the most time, but me being a strapping young lad, I was able to push ahead and get about 70% of the entire thing done.....he was amazed and super excited. Plus he got to play with some of his toys in the process so he was happy:

Passed my eye exam today so I'm ready to start the new job next Monday, which I have mixed feelings about. Staining the girlfriend's parents' fence tomorrow, then spending Friday-Sunday up in Maine golfing and drinking on the beach with the GF to wrap up my funemployment break.

Also, my new front triangle should arrive Saturday after punching a hole in it last weekend after bailing on a misjudged rocky chute. My love/hate relationship with carbon continues, though Titus/On One's CS was unreal, so that was awesome. :thumb:

So my car is in the shop on my only day off this week. I'm out of beer so I'm drinking on the bottle of vodka GFF got me for secret santa. Not a bad way to spend the day actually. May ride my bike up to the bar later.
