Hell, you've got a shoe off, a sock off........................

I used the great afternoon to start on a bike for the wife. I decided to take pictures of the (bike) rescue as it goes. It's one of my CL "lot" bikes, one of 6 for $100.



I've got some new "almost" slicks (with new tubes and strips), Ergon grips, new pedals, a decent saddle, Kool Stops and a rear rack that I think will fit to put on it after a bunch of cleaning. Plus, the 'ol lady said to get rid of the ft. derailleur and crankset and put a cheapo 40T set on it that I've got laying around. She's gonna keep the 6sp rear for now................

Anyway, as some of you know, she is six months out of intensive care and heart surgery but is still on oxygen----that's the reason for the rear rack and six gears!!!!!!!!!! The rack will tote her small O2 tank (just in case) and the cassette will let her work her strength up.

So far it's $87 worth. I don't think there's much else before she's on the road.

sounds like a classy lady

i dont feel so bad, i got a pic of a cat sitting in her lap while she was sitting on the toliet.
i didnt feel like there was much i could add to that

zoltani

must be hard to read the texts with her sitting on your face

gregjones

That would depend on who took the picture.

johnnytheboy

Today I woke up to find one of my two spider bro's, that have been living in my house all summer, chilling out on the pantry door. I was okay with this and went about my normal breakfast routine however about ten minutes later he moved and now I can't find him. He's in my kitchen somewhere I think. He's not poisonous or anything but he is about 2 inches big and it's just a little unnerving.

johnnytheboy

he's on the back of your head.
duh.

I'm trying really hard to "turn the corner" on spiders. I'll leave them alone unless they're unreasonably large, then I'll try to capture them and release them outside. But damn - its very difficult. Like you said - strangely the only time I feel comfortable knowing one is in my area is if its in plain site and looks recently-fed.

I've never been very afraid of spiders unless there's one suddenly crawling up my arm or something. It's a huntsman spider though, they generally only eat bugs and other spiders and never go near people. No poison in their bites but apparently it hurts a fair bit haha. There are a few kinds of spiders i'll kill on the spot (see: redback spider) but most I just let wander on by.

I'll only kill a few types of bugs based on simple criteria. If it has more legs than me, it dies.

I see what you did there

Today I am making the Dragon's Milk cupcakes again, this time for a Tiny Fix fundraiser at a local bike shop on Saturday for a bike messenger who got doored and then hit-and-run by a truck a few weeks back. I am really tired and really want to go to bed early, but I still have to make the frosting and frost them. I keep trying to figure out a way that I could procrastinate on that part, but I have plans tomorrow night so there's literally no other time. Gotta do it now.

At least I found some cool shaped sprinkles that I'm excited about - dinosaurs and dolphins and moons and stars and stuff.

Mumonkan

did you get those sprinkles at like a chain type place? i want them.

Today I had to call for a ride home after cutting a tire down.

striknein

Decided to sell my tibby cuz I never drive it. Gonna buy a jeep so I can haul all the bikes.

[EDIT]: also can't believe I blew my 2k on this bull****.

jimmytango

Mumonkan

hockeyteeth
