Vacation land Boise, Idaho. Had to take my bike to a lbs here in town after yesterday's rock garden tuck n roll. Shop says they'll have the drive train sorted by the end of the day. That is the bad ass stuff right there. Didn't even name drop my homies until after he had agreed to help me out.

Nachos were found and destroyed. Parks and ice cream have all been had.

What a place I tell ya. @SkaredShtles
Some place warm, a place where the beer flows like wine, where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I’m talking about a little place called Boise.

Yad Vashem in Israel really choked me up. I lost whole generations of my family to the Nazi Camps. Out of the 100 or so that went in only two made it out alive. My grand Parents on my Fathers side are from the Odessa Region of the Ukraine and on my mothers side they were from Warsaw Poland. And people wonder why I get so violent around bigots.

Impatiently stood in line at the LBS to pick up a bottom bracket as the guy in front of me grilled the mechanic on how to install a water bottle cage on a road bike. I hope the mechanic gets a commission as he sent the guy out the door with a water bottle cage, carbon grease, set of allen wrenches and a torque wrench.

:rofl:
