7 years....

Well, yesterday was the year 7 mark here at my employer. I figured i would be gone 2 years ago! Nobody said anything, which is marginally sad. Meh. At least i got cookies at home : ).

Bike front: Sam Hillborne is complete (minus some tweaking), good looking bike. Now the question is, will it ride well? I can tell you this, be very careful about Honjo fenders + tire size, because it will kick your ass!

Summer of the bike (again)

"So take me away, i don't mind
But you better promise me, i'll be back in time
Gotta Get back in time
Gotta Get back in time
Get me back in time."

It's 1991.
I purchased this bad boy off of craigslist for $100, it's nearly pristine, no use, no scratches. The woman i bought it from was prepping for a Triathlon, but the bike was too small for her. I have no idea where she got it, but the thing does not even have wear on the crank arms! The only things that aren't original are the Saddle, and the tires. Tires=awesome, saddle=suck. Swing away merril.

Part 2:

Gen has me building her a Rivindell Sam Hillborne bike. We chose to go old school on this one, and build it ourselves. Should be done by tuesday, it's the cadillac of bikes.

douche-chill

It's been a busy couple of weeks, bikes, floors, work.

#1, we started a massive project to replace the flooring, baseboards, and paint our living/kitchen area in the house (Bathrooms to be included soon). I did not know what pure hell that would be, doing the flooring right took the entire Memorial Day weekend, Saturday morning, all the way to Monday night. It's still not done, as we need to find some appliances that go better with the decor, and do some more painting/cleaning up. The bathrooms, that will be another story, i'm hoping to lay down some new linoleum, GE will paint, and i will possibly re-cock (caulk for lamen) the tub's.

#2, we have sold all of our bikes (basically). GE sold her 3 Electra's, and purchased a Pashley Princess Cadillac bicycle machine. I sold my road bike, my SS road bike, and dismantled the cruiser style bike, and bought a Globe Haul 1. So somehow, someway, we are down to 3 bikes total...

Sign of the times...

Apparently it's "ON", here at my place of employment. 1 week ago my monkey put in his 2 weeks notice, and today a senior person put in their notice.. who's next? Banking=bad. But they are getting jobs elsewhere, and i think it's a "sign of the times", the exit has begun, will management notice?



enjoy.

I did not realize that Jimmy Kimmel was doing this on his show, but i'm a fan now:

Why would anyone eat anything besides breakfast?

Ron Swanson:

On hard work: “I got my first job when I was 9. Worked at a sheet metal factory. In two weeks, I was running the floor. Child labor laws are ruining this country.”


Happy Monday.
