Lately I’ve only been writing thoughts here with no adequate home elsewhere. That’s to say that I’ve been doing much more than what is written here. Mostly bikes.

Went camping with .83, and towed Liz out with a broken wrist. The xtracycle has been built on the cheap and thus has given me a bit of trouble, but it works. Also hauled a few people and bikes out. Seven, inclusive, to be exact. Doesn’t look like it on the roof rack.

Went on a .83 “dress-up” ride. Was glad to get to see people I haven’t gotten to for some time. Laughed at myself riding home at around 4am for being a bit absurd, but that’s me I guess.

Converted the Schwinn Fixed to a cyclocross bike. I’ll be riding MFG races. I’m due to break something having just gotten passed the one year anniversary of breaking my scaphoid and two year anniversary of my motorcycle accident, so here goes!

Been hanging out with different groups this summer to avoid burdening grumpypants. That emotional void has been filled by building some new good relationships. It was nice to wake up to two voicemail messages the other day thanking me for being such a good person. I went out on the Memorial Day Cargo Bike Ride. Had some issues with the xtracycle again. Four flats in a couple hours to be exact. Felt defeated, took the bike home and dumped it in the garage and went to a pie party at Monstersorri.

Oh, there’s work too. I don’t know what to say about that. I’m doing very little technical work lately, which is sort of discouraging. Still, something is getting done, right? I hope? That reminds me…
