WOW!!

I thought she was building a bike from scrap or at least planning on cutting someone's apart when the questions came via text message. Then there was the ones about other people's bikes and dimensions. Who new she was carving blocks to make prints before giving us a sample? I thought it was so rad when I saw it and was stoked that I had something my narcisistic self could screen a tshirt from and talk the fack out of. BLAH BLAH BLAH my bike BLAH BLAH before the brake..... Ahh I wish I had something to post about my creativuty but that's being selfish right dere!! Up in steer! Heading for another beer.

Giddyup!

This was a phot I shot a while ago and just recently had the time to sit down and scan. It's not that I am really busy but I needed Eric to come over and set up the scanner that windows vista said we didn't have. I had downloaded the driver to the desktop but the wife and I had a heck of a time trying to get the PC to recognize it. It took us an hour before we were too frustrated and declared it a waste of time. Then Eric comes over and has it set up in 10 minutes. There is a benefit to have a master's degree in electric engineering. Then he had to go because he had a fight in two days and needed to rest. The fight was super good and Eric caned the other guy, who wasn't a pussy either. His opponent was previously a pro boxer with ten fights out of which he won eight (5 KO's!). That kid was heavy handed! Everytime he tried to come come in with kicks and punches Eric would grab him by the head and knee him in the face. I'm glad he wasn't hurt because we need him to hook up the stereo to our itunes.

Anyhoo, back to the photo. We had planned to meet up with an other guy and get picture of skid or something but when the guy didn't show we got bored and shot this. I like the way the wheels look and that the exposure was about 30 seconds because it was facking dark. He dosen't even ride that bike anymore or not since he set up the Stratus at least. I want to set up those wheels and try deep V's but they would make my orange look like some sort of queer candy cane.

I know this is probably mad old but as you probably know I am way out of the loop when it comes to T.O. news. I saw this when I should have been hard a t work typing or something. I usually type stuff when I want to look busy or need to impress a higher up. I keep an openoffice document open on my desktop and copy/paste a report I did over a year ago into it. Make some small changes like the date and title so whenever somebody pops there head in my cubicle I click on the doc and act like I am massaging my temples. The funny thing is that nobody has noticed and I have been promoted 2 times in a year. I have gone from working in a small suburban school to managing one of the larger b schools in CBD. It just means I have more time to surf the restricted web for dumb stuff. Now, when I say restricted I mean any page containing any of the words deemed naughty by the company's software. If you click on a blog for example...youwillsoon or something the pop up comes up telling you that there is no facking way you can view this page. That is why I used the word fack when writing on this blog. It allows to check my own blog from work. Speaking of software, is there anything it can't do? C'mon man! A year ago I used to have to chase down teachers and ask for schedules (on paper), visas, invoices,change of phone numbers etc. I am talking about everything under the sun. Now whenever they log in a window reminds them that they have to submit something to me and they do. This means 2 things: 1. I can be replaced by software and 2: I have to be diligent with my false document because someone could drop by my cubicle at any moment.

ni maru go jidai: the end of an error

If you've been in contact then you probably know we moved recently and if you haven't then you probably aren't even aware that this blog exsists. So moving on, we are now in the new place and it seems like a lifetime ago that we were moving into the 205 house. Even though nobody called it that when we lived there it's easier for writing's sake. We had to move when the winters really began to suck and my spine had me laying in bed calling "Rachel........eh eh eh". No shit that place was old and we lived there for 4 years. We stayed because the rent was cheap, we could be noisy and the neighbours didn't care if we had friends over which was pretty much all the time. I remember getting a call at 11:49 pm from a guy who needed to borrow a skate tool and while he was there asked me if I had any mashed potatos. Pretty random indeed. We had a lot of fun there and even some fights, non picked by me of course but they had to be ended along with a friendship that nobody cared about anyways. Oddly enough these people find you on facebook and wanna be friends, I digress. I posted some of the pics which I took in the last year and maybe some a little older. We are keeping our new address secret and my new hobby is knitting.

The guy Pulvenstein pawned off on me finally managed to get me to come out for a ride. The back story is that this guy was always asking Pulv to come and "practice pist bike". We rode him with him after the MASH thing and he didn't seem so bad until the mails at 12:00 pm started to roll in. Perfect for when your trying to get some sleep between the cubs crying fits. I have to admit I caved when he invited us for a group ride. Unwilling to go alone I asked four eyes and skinny legs to escort me. I should have read the warning signals when the start point was a parking lot. The ultra hip training grounds for veloballet masters. We showed up late and nobody was there so we thought "the ride" had started. I called the guy and he told us that they were at another spot so we met them there. From there on in they just went from Uni to park to airport looking for a good spot. The whole time I thought we were meeting other people or we were gonna have some sort of sprint race where I could hustle some cash. I don't mean to sound stuck up but with most of the field running 2.5 or 2.6 gear ratios I thought I could clean the fuck up. They ended going to about 3 different spots and just sitting and talking about bikes. What a waste of an afternoon. Even four eyes was pissed at their lack of knowledge. One dude had to get other people to change his flat tire and put the wheel back on.





I thought this was funny as fack because when the camera came out everyone scrambled to collect their bikes and messenger bags. I guess they thought I was gonna post it on mixi or something cool.





Tomity is a Keirin pro, whether over the hill or not, he didn't take it lightly when people asked about when he used to be a pro. I mean c'mon! The guy comes out for a ride and they sit around smoking asking dumb ass questions.





You know the scene has to be bad when a guy with a bike like this is pissed off at all the rich kids talkin about parts. He wasn't feeling the questions or blank looks when he answered them. It was more of a " ok..... now you ask me about my bike" day.



Hiroe was bummin on the whole "Hey whats your set up?" questions as were we all. Nobody knew she was riding a 3.0 gear ratio and that she can whip their ass.

I'm not the most knowledgeable cyclist, but I do know that I ain't never seen this setup on a track bike before.
