i learn

one of these days... maybe...

learn what? dunno...

All that's left to do is caulk spackle a few holes and paint paint paint...

Gotta be dry for Saturday... got some work to do

Food. Yes food. It was good that I had as much stock piled as I did. Haven't needed to cook yesterday or today. Lots of work, sanding, cutting, caulking, sanding, washing but even in the old funny paint and pre-primed trim look it is worlds different. Already looking at it gives a great sense of accomplishment and reward for getting the job done, and yes, everyone is having a blast down there. Probably for the best that super grouch g is not there with them... probably for the best.

Even without having run for about a month the legs really aren't feeling too bad today. And the comment about grinding vs spinning - while grinding sure can be way easier/seem more efficient at times it isn't faster and it is way harder to change speeds/jump/sprint when ya are bogged down in the gears.

So yeah. I'll try to stick with food. But ya know. Food is only part of the equation, as little as i know about promoting and the history of divisions and classes and problems and solutions and categories and training and base and power and speed and winning - well... it is part of a journey, I can't just ignore it. But i can, I guess, try and keep it a lower profile part of my documentation of what ever.

So - here's this. I've always had an itch to do a documentary kind of film, I've flushed out ideas before, but never really had the equipment to make it work, or the time. But, when my cousin went up for an Oscar, and now I just found out a good friend from College is up for one (both documentaries - both probably the best film in the bunch that will be torpedoed by politics and not get the statue), it fires up that urge again.

But food, films and flimsy ponitifcating on training aside. I NEED COFFEE. I got my fingers cross that the meeting tonight at the shop will reveal some old stock and a 26.4 bar so i can use an old stem on the p'mount so i can match the position on the bike closer to the Q-Pro. Fallin asleep last night I had a major urge to clean up my Tool chest/pile of bike shit in the bike room. It is sort of mostly a disarrayed pile of tools, cloths, used bar tape, and parts (cranks and chain rings and all sorts of stuff), mostly so that if I do get a chance to work on the bikes, it won't take me 45 minutes of digging to find either the right tool or the part I know I have.

Maybe i'll just dig out Krabbe's The Rider book. I read through Marvin's latest last night to try and settle my head after working... But betweeen BKW and now Hoyer's mentioning of it, I should make good on my statement that it is a book to be read at least once a year, preferably this time of year.

Go read your copy...
