Today I got offered the chance to buy a richard sachs by a similarly statured good friend who's reached that point in life to move over to a recumbent.
They are by no means a bargain when you're coerced to buy the campy that's on it as well. Also, I'd be kind of obligated to keep it.
I guess I could ride it when I retire.

There's a Sachs in my family, and it's an absolute joy to ride. I can only see prices getting higher, too. Is there a friend discount?

came across the grossest thing on the road. Hundreds and hundreds of dead baby chickens on the road. They must have been hauled by truck and some slopped out on the road. The smelly mess went on for miles sometimes just a few here and there and in other places several inches thick. I gave the bike a good bath after that.
Ride Safe,

FedEx has had my package (new bike) in Portland for 48 hours
It's like they're reluctant to deliver it before the estimated delivery date. Because god forbid, I get something early and am happy with their speedy service.

Rode my brains out. 42 of the hardest miles I've yet to put in. Had to. Now I'm too tired to take photos of my townie.

Today I rode in shorts for the first time in several weeks. Did need to wear a light jacket, but still it felt fantastic. Looks like the next few days are going to be nice as well.

Sent off a ton of resumes today which felt good but totally blows at the same time.

I've seen non-legitimate sites look more legitimate than their site does.

I was hinting toward the stigma of usually older cyclists riding custom steel steeds, usually with a frame pump, campy, and a brooks saddle with moderately large saddle bag. And a lifetime cycling mileage that usually makes ours look pitiful.

Yesterday my Cannondale developed bottom bracket creak...ugh.
Debating if I should fix it myself or take it to the shop. I have the crank puller tool for it but have no idea what to do after the crank is out.

Today I yelled at an IT guy for closing three windows on my computer, including two spreadsheets I'd been working on since yesterday, when I stepped out for a coffee.
WTF.

what a tool. you always ask if everything is saved before closing stuff and if the user isnt there you come back or wait
tell his boss he cost you work hours, i doubt youre the only person hes screwed over

When I was still working, I always locked my computer when I was away from my office, though I was more concerned with security than someone causing loss of work. Also, I used auto backup on spreadsheets and wordprocessor files in the event of a crash or power failure. One good thing was that if anyone messed with me I could fire them, since I was the boss.

I grabbed the park tool bearing tool for $36 and will build my own bearing press for cheap. The damn loctite cost me $17, but that should still be cheaper than paying a shop to do it.

I bought new bearings as well. So all in I'm at $90. The shop probably would have been roughly the same cost, I'm guessing, but having it done in a matter of hours vs. a week, has it's bonuses. Plus I like wrenching on stuff, so no big deal.
