Bedrock & Paradox

I believe my Reba needs a little love. It sat sideways in the back of the truck for most of the day yesterday, and a little oil leaked out of the top of the left leg. The travel seems a little less supple now, and every mid-volume rebound produces a sucking or squelching sound. I’m…

Go here. I heard this at 0511 driving to ride this morning, and teared up a bit. This job is getting to me.

What is the seal of liberation? � No longer being ashamed in front of oneself. “The Nietzsche Family Circus pairs a randomized Family Circus cartoon with a randomized Friedrich Nietzsche quot[ation].” I despise the use of “quote” as a noun.

The funny distorted letter test, before you leave a comment. Why? Because I hate them. Maybe I’m just a bit slow or overly creative, but it seems like 20% of the time I guess wrong and have to try again. Pity.

Sooner than anyone expected! When I decided on a Lenz several days ago, I presumed I have months to search out good deals on parts while I waited for the frame. Then Brain gave me a buzz. Brain Blair, the donkey, KMC runner up (and last place finisher), Mr. Chickenlegsofsteel hisself. He works at The…

Lame though it is, and found only via checking email, this is rather interesting.

Shrek’s sidekick wants to play with Aspens and lava rocks. Watch out. August-September, apparently. Got in a quality run with Eric and Dan at 0530. Nice and cool. Went to the gym with M, did small chores, grilled some dead critter, drank some Fischer, watched TV on the porch. I also got to indulge in…

Slept in and woke up at 0600. Ate breakfast, drank coffee, lounged about reading and drooling over bikes on the ‘net until I realized it was 0740, and I told Yuri I’d be at his camp on Elden no later than 0930. Silly. I couldn’t find the road he specified anyway, on top of being…

So, the fat bonus, about which many rumors have been circulating recently, appeared silently in my box (and account) today. I feel like a big kid. I don’t feel comfortable throwing numbers around, but it is a very sizable percentage of my salary. It’s a bit hard to swallow just how much of it went…

This is the first image that came up, googling the above.M and I joined the Y yesterday evening, so this morning I thought it wise to start the habit and wake up a bit before five and head over to do some working out. Arg indeed. Not so much from waking up early, these days…
