Joel’s been re-modeling the Burley for me, and yesterday we went out for a ride to Leavenworth which was the first trip out for me with this bike in its new configuration.
Not so long ago, I was trying to sell this bike. Nobody wanted to buy it, however, and Joel convinced me that it [...]

Well, my computer has upped and died. It’s not a big shock nor surprise - it had been acting shaky and shady for a while, and it hadn’t been built by a professional initially anyhow. So, the ol’ beast finally went toes-up. Because I had an inkling this day would be coming [...]

(note: I wrote this up yesterday mostly in word, then couldn’t post it because the ‘net connection crapped out. Therefore this is basically yesterday’s news. Today was a largely snow and slush-free ride and I did an impromptu photo-ride on my way home which I will write a little about later)
I got [...]

Yeah, the winter blah’s have set in on me, which is why it has now taken me nearly three days to post a weekend wrapup consisting of a couple of paragraphs, a couple of photographic links, and not much else. I can’t shake this hibernatin’ feeling. So, on with the entry I started [...]

1. On Friday night, the usual chaos that is Critical Mass ensued. It was a much smaller and more subdued group than usual…because it was butt-freezingly cold. Actually, it’s been worse at various points recently - it was darn near reasonable Friday night, but reasonable for December in Kansas City is still [...]

And today I come bearing photographic evidence of the unexpected urban ungulates:
Behold!
The zoomed-in pictures kind of suck because I had to use my digital zoom which means the image quality suffers. But. Goats!
I created a set and called it Goatography. I hope to get some better shots another day.

This morning was shaping up to suck outrageously. I was about halfway to work, and my back tire blew out. 2″ long rip in one sidewall; you could see daylight all the way through. I tried to boot it with one of those extra-big patches from one of my patch kits, but [...]

Yesterday Christi and I went on a side-streets exploration ride in the West Bottoms. We had no big agenda, just being outside and riding our bikes was all that was planned. Since were were just kind of exploring and taking our time, it wasn’t any big problem for me to stop and take [...]

Well, I may technically fail NaBloPoMo on account of not posting each of the entries I’m going to write during my stay in New Orleans, but I will write nightly my impressions of the trip, and I’ll get them up online when I get home. Since I’ve been having to tote this portly laptop [...]

Today was largely a free-day, with the exception of a span of time in the evening during the event Grand Opening when we had to man the booth and start spreading the good word. The Grand Opening was a total zoo, but more about that later.
Today, mostly, I had free rein [...]
