It's a beautiful summer (albeit hot), and I just lost power at the office.

Despite the comments of others, I encourage you to spend the money on one of those bikes. Then, we can all live vicariously through you. Plus, think of the contribution you'd be making to the financial stability of the bike industry. And, it's important to treat yourself at times!

Countless trips up the ladder. This receptacle was originally installed for my tablesaw, sharing space in my bedroom. Ya gotta wonder. Then the tablesaw moved out to the porch, and still there was too much dust. Ultimately it got its own building, and a ceiling light was installed here. A worthless ceiling light.

Those brake levers make nice clothes hooks, mostly for stuff taken off soaked with sweat. One wouldn't want it steeping, wet, in the clothes hamper.

Frustration with proprietary parts is part of why I’m staying away from the new fancy bikes. I want round seatposts, dammit.

I am not a big beer drinker, but I do like a crisp pilsner. My local has nothing but fruity crap, cider and IPAs on tap. Most of them are IPAs.
