I can count on no hands the number of sick days I have taken at the office and shop since it opened 7 years ago…..This is one of them. Big thanks to the staff and the Notorius K.I.M for pulling through the day without my presence. As I stare down from the high point of middle age I realize “you gotta know when to hold em’, know when to fold em’.” I expect I’ll be back at the helm tomorrow and fully recovered by the weekend for some bike service and skiing….hopefully not in that order.
Before further adue, here is by far the best picture from the cross world championships…

Also, the best TP dispenser I’ve ever seen….at casa DD.

Also, a cute cat.

I’m not sure what I’ll be up to this weekend as far as socialness…

Maybe I’ll watch some TV?

Maybe it’ll snow?

Right?

I guess your right….maybe I”ll work on some projects?

Or get another mustache tattoo?

Because you know what they say about the location of a tattoo don’t you?

Its kinda what they say about beards and bike mechanics.

And back to bicycle news, there are a few VERY important things that I simply must share with you.
1. The RAGBRAI route has been announced. Holy Fucking Jesus! It has…

As far as my own participation goes….I’m right smack dab in the middle on the fence. The start city IS near an airport…but not Omaha.
2. I will tell you what IS near Omaha and happening this weekend with Zeke (in the above picture)….

3. In MN, of course, it is Stuporbowl weekend. And the weather looks downright balmy.

Go there….race….or get drunk….Say hi to Gene and Hurl…or not.
4. Lastly, Dan (campagnolo tech man and believe it or not, DH suspension extraordinaire), is leaking campagnolos new electric gruppo. I”ll bet its nice.

Thats it for me…its time to shave, shower and go back to bed.
