I'm getting really frustrated that I won't have my new frame until the end of June.

Didn't have it this morning - I could tell when I got up. Too much to drink at friends and family Easter celebration, hard weekend on the bike leaving me sore, late night yesterday w gf hanging out before her trip to Hawaii.
I went to Fiesta Island anyway and somehow managed to complete my first interval, but halfway through the second I pulled the plug. After a moderate day tomorrow (~75 min MTB/trail commute to work) I should be re-charged and ready to rock for Fiesta Worlds on Thursday and another hard weekend.

Today, randomly I wanted to see if i could find out some more info about my Bruce Gordon Chinook frame. It's one of 101 frames that he built (which i knew already) but I didnt know how to decipher the SN on the frame. A little google searching lead me to this page:
1984 Bruce Gordon Chinook Frame: 56cm, Metallic Black, Columbus Sl Lugged Steel, 101 Ever Made - Bike Recyclery
In the description of this ad it says how to decipher the SN. So I went into my garage to see what mine said and I was quite surprised that my frame is the one in the ad linked above.
Crazyness.
I only paid $50 for it though and it came with a fork

^ Sounds like a great deal. Pics?
Today I got the steerer trimmed on the nature boy and bought some king cages to move past the PTSD of paying taxes.

Today I did about 30 miles, finally feeling normal again after a long and weird weekend.

Mixed up a new batch of sauerkraut to start fermenting:
Then hacked down some new bars and set them up with a stem and Velo Orange cork blend grips I've had lying around for a while. I don't love the feel of the grips (they're too thick, and the cushioning feels dead), but the contours might provide a nice change of pace on occasion:
I did not, obviously, learn how to take decent photographs yet:

Yeah, they look really nice in person too; they're just not really right for their current application. I think they'd fit and feel better on more upright bars, perhaps when I turn my long-range commuter into a neighborhood cruiser after I move this summer or when I finally get around to building up my wife's new bike.

Today I saw three A-10 Warthogs fly over my house on their way to Dobbins Air Reserve Base/Lockheed. One of the pilots was a bit rambunctious.
This is the first time I've seen tankbusters flying into the base.

What length/bar diameter is that? ^ If you don't like it and it fits, I will take it off your hands.

Today I scrapped my (planned) 4 hour z2 road ride for a 2 hr z-whatever MTB ride 
. I wanted a lazy Sunday morning and didn't feel like getting up early and 'on the grind' - and it feels great 
.
Taking off now - peace!
