One time I was mountain biking and we were only at 4000 feet and the temperature dropped 30 degrees and it started snowing. I was totally unprepared, shorts and short sleeves, I froze on the descent and got hypothermia.

Looks like I'm going to survive and you guys won't get stuck with Siu. The photo is a good impression of how I slept last night ... pretty lousy. How do you like that shoulder pad, eh?
The doc offered that I might want to alternate this drug Ketorolac with my Percocets. I tried one today, but after reading the warnings i don't like the sound of this stuff. I might just stick with the narcotics, feeling loopy is better than feeling dead. Whatcha think, docs?

Ketorlac did nothing for me the time I was given it; I think for my gum graft.

Nice pic. Glad you came through okay. Ketorolac is no worse than ibuprofen, at least in the short term. I'd do it; you'll poop better and that's half the game. Hell, use ibuprofen instead if you want, just keep the dose to no more than 2400 mg/day.
But you just saw me get schooled by @datlas.

They sure made it sound worse. I'm accustomed to Indications, Contraindications, and Warnings coming in that order. The very first thing on this literature is "Warning: This drug may raise the risk of heart and blood vessel problems like heart attack and stroke.These effects can be deadly. blah blah blah"

My Rapha order arrived. 
Rapha being Rapha and with me having some largish thighs, I decided that I should play it safe and get some Slim Fit pants in a 36" waist. Nope. They're fuggin' huge on me, so huge that I'm tempted to go down two sizes, but the idea of me in 32" pants is absurd (unless it's a fat American brand).

Ketorolac has a reputation for being stronger than ibuprofen and it’s not supposed to be used more than 5 days. I doubt there is good evidence for either of these, but if you have normal kidney function I think it’s reasonable to try. Remember to take some fiber and/or laxatives with the Percocet or you may get quite constipated. Heal up ASAP!
Three days later, I finally pooped.

They are both I9 hubs. The black ones are a "budget friendly" model called the 1/1, and the red ones are I9 Hydra. I went with the Hydra hubs and LB hoops. If all goes as planned, I should get them by the end of September.

Didn’t get to close today. It’s been one hell of an emotional roller coaster.
Not sure what color the bike is but I like the red hubs.

Have you heard about the new Revel wheels? Using some kind of nylon instead of epoxy. Supposed to give a little, not be so stiff. And it can be recycled, they say.

Yes they are pricey but I thought it was interesting how they are using different materials hoping to make a more durable wheel. I also read Enve said they have a less than 2% failure rate on their M series wheels including defects and crash damage or customer error. Carbon mtb rims have come a long way.

basically paper work was needed from my job last minute and it didn’t get done in a timely manner. Closing tomorrow morning but the process has jacked up what I was hoping to get done before I go back to work. I say emotional roller coaster becuase it went back and forth between closing and not closing for a couple of hours. If this is the worse that happens i’ll take it, still bummed though.
