I thought I was going to have to rip my speed sensor apart and replace the battery (and totally void the warranty by doing it myself, but hey). Thankfully I discovered it was just out of alignment and needed to be adjusted back into position. Yay for geeky, obsessive measurements ( Read more... )

Really good ride this morning. My newbies weren't there on time (did see and pass one on my third and last loop), so I decided today was a day to practice riding in the aero position, down on the aero bars. Speedier that way, and I needed the practice time in that position. The ride went well, did 3 long loops and spent the vast majority of my time ( Read more... )

So, I've finally started training for this triathlon season. Sort of ( Read more... )

Early start to the day. Up at 5:30 for a pre-dawn ride with the club. Did an hour, but got smoked early on. The mostly solo ride was good, nonetheless. Hains Point is very well lit, so was no trouble to be out there before the sun came up ( Read more... )

Have now discovered this is a known issue (at least to the neighbors) because they've told me it's p*t smoke and incense coming from the apartment directly below mine. Shitheads. Methinks we'll have maintenance in there to 'fix' their air unit as well so it's not spilling this crap into the walls ( Read more... )

It's a good thing I normally bike commute, and thus had an extra pair of pants in my office to replace the ones that got soaked on my walk to work this morning. Whee.

Gorgeous day, after the rain ended. Slept for crap last night, though, so a rest day for me. Had a cult co-op meeting tonight which was going well until the issue of discriminatory ( Read more... )

Too much to write about right now, and no time to do it. Will attempt to get more thoughts to 'paper' here in the next couple of days ( Read more... )

I blame Susan Dennis, as if there were any need to blame someone, but to her goes the blame for getting me to go to the local library finally, some 7 months after I moved down to Southwest.

I'd not been to the local branch here, the Southwest Neighborhood Branch. I'd been to the Mt. Pleasant Branch many times, and I suppose I was spoiled by MtP ( Read more... )

Spent a good chunk of the evening going over resumes one last time so I could rank them for our Board of Directors here at the cult co-op. I've been serving on the committee that's reviewing new property managers' resumes for the Board before they get their own chance at them, hoping to weed out some of the chaff before they get them. As is the way ( Read more... )

It appears that I wasn't the only one, but yesterday evening was just one extended freak-out. After the plane stuff in the afternoon, my little brain decided it would be a good time to start stressing over pretty much anything and everything that it could, leading to absolutely no sleep until I finally hopped back out of bed at 1-something (I think ( Read more... )
