It's so weird thinking about how modern I thought 9 speed was. I didn't even get to wear out my 8 speed stuff and I was upgrading my Felt.

What is that computer-looking thing below the tailpipe?
That's an LED Taillight that flashes when the on-board bidet is activated. #****talking |

Started the rebuild on contador last night. I decided to leave the shifters mismatched, it's only the graphics on the shift paddle and brake lever. I need to wash the frame and wheels before I start recabling it. Shifters and derailluers are on. Looking forward to riding it again as a cable actuated bike.
Also learned last night the brake cable housings I recieved with the shifters that I was going to use on the Blue Tarmac is 8" to short. Ordered that this morning. Or I could ride any one of 9 other bikes... |

I have never understood the need to upgrade just because. |

Just got off the phone with a friend of mine. As she was walking home from work she saw a man standing outside the criminal justice center wearing a muscle T-shirt, Timberland-like boots and nothing else. No pants or undies in sight. :eek:

And I, on the flip side, am still paid like QA but now being told to do the work of a senior dev. Whole different level of stress and responsibility, and I’m already having to hand-hold new hires with higher titles and presumably more pay who can’t pay attention to necessary details or even submit their code half the time. This is why I am ungruntled.

This. Let me say up front that if your feet feel stepped upon, that is not my intention.

Had a big fraud trial against EDS in about 2000. The jury questionnaire asked, "What do you think about big corporations?" One guy answered, "Chew you up and spit you out."
He was the first alternate, and became the 12th juror. He sat about 10 feet away from me during the trial, and would constantly give me a thumbs up when points were scored on our side in his mind. I had to stop looking in his direction to avoid drawing attention to it. Jury awarded us roughly $56 million. |

If I were to change jobs, I'd rather time it such that I can just be unemployed during the process of moving to CO and handle all that for AG, then find something after all of that is done. The boss convo will be interesting. If she demurs, that tells me all I need to know about my future there. If I can wrangle a promotion and real raise, well, I'll take it and see if it works out. After all, the severance is based on final pay... if I take it and fail, all the better. I say that, but of course failing sucks. |

He needs to snag that severance and get a nice jump start on the kept-man status. :p

In other news, my wife ordered herself an Emonda SLR 7. Estimated arrival is 70-85 days. It seems that dinky size Project One bikes ship in half the time as average sizes like 56-58.
And, it is Navy Blue. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...b005371034.png |

It's not the first time she has seen exposed men while walking to or from work, but in the other cases they have had their pants own, not completely lacking them. |
