pic of the storm!




Tis windy here. And raining. Sooooooo I hope I can skip what I'm supposed to water tonight? It says it needs to be an inch of rain to count as "watering", but it's like really windy, cold, and rainy and I don't really want to go out with a hose.
 
Oh, got some good drama. Old college friend just broke up with his fiancee. When they started dating like 5 years ago he completely quit hanging out with any of our group of friends. Now he's messaging us one by one to see if anyone wants to hang out. Awkward, and he's already really awkward.
 
Ordered a gray Bones 2. Matches the car color don't ya know!

How do you keep the bike from swinging out? Do these crank down enough on top to control that? My old rack (which I pitched this winter) had issues with that.

The post and top bar straps do great on the bike, I use a green bungee cord (about 18") to wrap the front tire to the frame of the bike. Saris also sells a pull down strap for the front tire, I didn't know that when I ordered mine or I might have got that just for ease of use and to make the whole thing match.
 
****, have a 50 mile bike ride coming up next weekend. That's way too soon.
 
Add banvel and you get what good courses use.

Thx for a helpful tip.

Where is Clonelawman, he has disappeared since tax season, does he unwind by going to Mexico for a extended R&R (by that I mean hookers and blow ;))
 
Talked to somebody from Wisconsin today. Sounded like a weirdo.

I wish they would sound like Alfred.

I assume this was rhetorical but if not yea skip it and do it tomorrow.

Everybody moves on with their lives, but if it fit into my schedule I'd welcome him back. Good friends kind of back each other even if they haven't stayed in touch much IMO.

Does that happen to be the one down in Albert Lea, it's the last year for it due to declining attendance. 35 dollar entry fee for t-shirt and a meal I think.

Edit technically it's a 100 mile ride, but you can ride as far as you want.

Thunder boomers this morning while I was getting ready for work, thunder boomers now. Noisy day. No funnel clouds though - those can stay in Omaha (but far away from Nickels & Gr8...).

And HEY! A Train sighting!!!
