i ordered a bamboo bottle from (http://www.bamboobottleco.com) around christmas but forgot about it because they were backordered. i got my shipping notice the other day and, bam, it arrived today. here it is in all its glory! sweet!
these are both taken with my htc aria. i've been noticing that picture quality sucks, well... it has at least a little to do with pocket lint. unfortunately, the aria has a recessed lense and it's actually kind of tricky to clean.
had to soak in the sun today as it sounds as if i may need raingear for the next few days
wow, warm enough to slip off the gloves and snap a couple of photos on the ride to work, today.
well, we seem to have pushed the hose season a little too far last fall and we had us a nice little surprise when we turned on one of the hoses today. good thing our basement is still unfinished! hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to the hardware store i go.
here's my new endura jacket about to take its maiden voyage. i now know it works well in the cold, let's hope it works well in the wet. thanks to the guys at one on one (http://oneononebike.com) for carrying such great gear!
there were 9 of them at one point, but i couldn't convince them to line up for a group photo.
replaced my mangled nokian with a schwalbe marathon winter tire. now i've got german up front and finnish on the back.
sure, with all the melting i won't really be needing studded tires tomorrow, but winter will be back. this is minnesota, after all.
finally getting around to fixing last thursday's flat on the commuter bike. it turns out i picked up abouy a dime-sized shard of glass. cuh-razy. it's hard to see the glass through the snow.
well, not the most exciting post, but i've installed the blogger app and i'm going to give it a try instead of the post-by-e-mail method i've been using from my phone.
nice, this is really sweet, it lets you start an entry, take a photo, and return to editing the post.
it seems like just last week, my rides home were in complete darkness.
ride a bicycle into work today, soo... i'm guessing my bike'll be a little lonely at the rack today

the four horsemen of the coldpocalypse didn't show in full force today. it was cold enough for the mask, but it wasn't as bad as was forecast. 2f, no big deal.
my garage isn't heated, and the winter bike is entirely too messy to bring indoors, so i took advantage of the sun shining in through the garage window and wrenched on the bike today.
i had to switch to a different wheel because a spokenipple oulled right through an eyelet the other day (very likely the result of some hamfisted truing i did in november).
with that wheel toast, i had to pull my only 18t cog off the dead wheel for install on the other one.
i was the witness of a january miracle. the cog came off and i didn't leave any knuckle skin on the spokes! thankyou babyjeeebus for anti-seize!
