The shit food keeps on coming around, I'm enjoying it, I had a burger last night, second one this year, monastic life is leaving for now. Beer is enjoyable but, not as many as I would like to have. I want to be able to put a few away, not just the one or two I have been drinking. Monday or Tuesday starts '08, the tools are almost together and in the slots. 2007 was great, awesome help from Gary Fisher Bikes and with the best shop in the world helping me out with road stuff and supplies I couldn't really ask for more. '08 looks even better, life is more organized for the time being. The push will be more quality. Make it count. I can only hope to improve for 2008.

New power

Dust on crust today, the light dusting that I thought might make the commute a bit harder was just that, dust. By the time the mag chloride is mixed in there's nothing left but paste. I think the bike is taking a beating, salt is bad for steel, right? What about the corrosive effects of mag chloride? We don't have salt up here and I don't wash the bike every day, I should but I am tired at the end of it and need to not be. The motivation is even higher now after my little spin around the hood last night on the fresh ferrous it makes me want more work. Is that a puritan work ethic thing? I'm not pure I know that much, but I enjoy the salvation that comes with a 7 a.m. ride at 19 degrees. That brings purity. No excuses.
