I'm reviewing an article that someone submitted to a journal for which I'm a reviewer and they keep talking about the work of Botto et al. and all I can think about is is a surly occasional poster on BF and all comments about that work come off in my head in a sort of grumpy tone.

And I didn't mean grumpy in a bad way, just I sort of visualize people in my head and the picture I have of you is the guy sitting in the corner who doesn't say much because he's been here long enough that he's had all the same conversations 5 times already and sometimes the repetition gets to him. Maybe that's not accurate.

Not unless I totally misunderstood it. The authors are not native english speakers and the article was a little out of my comfort zone, but it wasn't that bad.

I'm selling a bunch of bike parts and wheels online. It's exhausting. I feel like I have a part time job between answering questions, keeping track of auctions and shipping stuff off. I'm glad I'm doing it all at once though, it should all be over in a week or so and in the mean time I am learning so much about bike parts. This morning was spent learning about different types of bottom brackets and adapters

Ugh, bottom brackets. Used to be just 2 kinds and now there's a dozen. My next bike is going to need an adapter so I can keep my Quarq. Bah.

Yeah, I'm selling a Quarq (GXP bb) and that's been getting the most questions. I've been using it on a bike with an adapter for a couple years. I might end up keeping it and just get the adapter for my new bike.

Well looks like I might be stuck in Orange County - United basically bailed on flights back to CO this weekend. Figures I don't fly back on the 80 degree day Thursday, but when it's snowing again...

The image of @botto I have in my head is from this blog post by @carpediemracing. At some point in life I hope to get to a level where I can pedal reasonably well! On a related note, this:

Man, I went to cdr blog on my phone using that link and got assaulted by a spam pop up tab telling me I'd won something, very hard to close because it was creating dialogues.

Someone may have injected some code into your website cdr.
