So I've been on this.... "work on my bikes" kick lately.  I guess that I am just excited for summer and the upcoming riding season, but I can't keep my hands off of my bikes.  Anyways...

Yesterday I was downstairs and I was thinking about maybe putting some parts that I took off Old Blue and put them on Your Dad.  I was going to originally put ( Read more... )

I just downloaded a new browser called Flock and it has a journal input feature, so I'm seeing if it works...

For about... the last year or so there has been this weird looseness in the back of Your Mom which I couldn't pin down.  I've been trying to figure it out for so long.  If I lifted up on the rear end of the bike, it would make a knocking sound and something generally felt loose.  I thought at first maybe it was something with the cassette or ( Read more... )

I've been holding onto a seven springs gift certificate for $50 for awhile now.  I've been wanting to use it to buy a lift ticket, so I finally did that yesterday and even took adam along for the ride.  See, I also had a buy one get one free coupon, so I bought my lift ticket with the gift certificate ($34 and got $16 cash back! woot!) and then I ( Read more... )

I totally went to hang out at SVC this past weekend since Josh was coming in from the land of perpetual line of sight to hang out.  We had planned a trip out to some lake near the ohiopyle section of the LHT for fishing/skating/bonfiring/hiking/etc (depending on the ice quality of the lake).  We planned that for Saturday so I figured I would come ( Read more... )

Ok ok ok, you guys will hate me, but give this a try, it's really really addicting and fun.

I was looking around the 'net when I found this online game/site called Moola, which is based in Canada.

What it is is this massive, ad-based/pay-to-click gaming site where you join up (you have to be invited) and then receive a penny.  You then ( Read more... )

Adam drove the hammer out yesterday and we went out to the New Bethlehem area.  I wanted ot show him the ghostish town of Lawsonham and its brick factory and go for a hike.  We picked up my M1 Carbine from my pap's house on the way and drove out.  It was a good time, though there was tons of snow out there and we didn't have much room to park.  ( Read more... )

For Christmas I got an HD-DVD of Planet Earth.  I, however, do not own an HD DVD player.  I returned it and got $67 credit for it and instead of buying the regular DVD of Planet Earth (i've seen them all once already), I bought an MSR Water Filter and a titanium spork.  YES!

I can't wait to drink water from a stream and I can't wait to eat spoonable ( Read more... )

Yay, something to do!

Adam's got his little clown car working again and he's off tomorrow so he's gonna swing by and pick me up and we're gonna raise a ruckus in  the Valley.  This'll be different.  We're thinkin' about takin' some guns out to the woods and shootin' stuff.  Sounds good to me!

Anyways, he's coming at 10 so I'm gonna get up early ( Read more... )

I went out to Jessica's trail party yesterday (which was a much longer drive than I expected lol) in Johnstown.  It was a pretty good time, even though I only knew a few people there.  I got to see Joe, Jenn, Suzy and Jess plus I made some new friends in Laura and Kelly, who were really nice.  I spent the night on the couch (I'm sensing a pattern ( Read more... )
