The Weeks End

We find ourselves at the end of another week. Or should I say: I find myself at...

Burlingame, check.

rear wheel rebuilt with the gracious use of a truing stand from Jack at Legend Bikes.

it was pretty damn cold this morning riding in. but it did warm up from 8°F to 12°F between waking up and leaving the house... plenty warm except my toes were slightly cold. not painful but just that 'hey my toes are cold' feeling.

no vehicular terrorist encounters this morning. It was rather pleasant.

Big Maggie B is retiring. Sounds like he is going out on his own terms, that's good. But I'll miss checking his name against the results and reading his interviews during the season.

hopefully i've got enough juice in my light battery to get home. It has been weeks since i've recharged it. damn nice thing about a 10,000 something or other battery is that it burns forever before going dead. Long enough that you forget if you charged it two, three or four weeks ago, and every night on the way home ya wonder: "Is tonight the night the lights go out on my head?" at least now with the path still well covered in snow and ice i'm on the well lit surface streets... don't need the light so much to see as to be seen... hopefully the little fixster cyst will keep blinking away long enough to get me home... i think i rode home last night forgetting to turn on the rear blinker... near 10 miles of riding around on the streets without a rear blinky - very bad. DOH!

Bridge work looks closer. Not there yet but hopefully they will be able to open the washington bridge sidewalk by the end of Feb. That will be nice. It will make it much quicker to get back and forth. Add that to a clear bike path and my commute can be a short as 15 minutes on the bike.

This is a new site as race.cx points out is just in time for the season to be completely over.

Well at least there's one more site to track.

Time to do some spring cleaning. There are a bunch of dead links and dead blogs over there on the left, need to do some weeding... maybe later

I might be able to help with the "Blog weeding" project. A couple weeks back I decided I would click on every link on your sidebar.

It's an endurance event, I'm still not done. You might have the largest blog roll on the planet.

You might have the largest blog roll on the freakin' planet.

That's awesome, I didn't notice you had the "comments will be visible after blog owner approval" thing going so I rewrote my comment after seeing it hadn't posted.

Now I'm commenting on my two nearly identical comments. Three comments from the same imbecile...lucky you.

Of course you could choose to only post the most coherent one, but that wouldn't be half as entertaining.

LOL

Sorry about that - i'll probably go back to unmoderated at some point... maybe just nuke the anon part... *shrug* just messing around a bit...

Yeah the blog roll... I'm pretty sure which ones are dead - which ones haven't been updated and what I want to ad. Mostly because I have all those in folders in SRWare Iron browser set to open tabs... i open about 30 pages at a time then blast through closing the ones that haven't been updated since I last looked, then scanning the rest to see if it is something i want to read and then saving the few that I want to read until the end...

Just not an easy way to manage that many in google's layout thing...
