A couple weeks ago, T. moved out of the upstairs suite, sans partner G., who told us last night that this is going to be permanent. And, he’s not sure if he’s going to stay there by himself. I don’t know if this is callous and opportunistic of me, but that’s a kickass suite and [...]

I forgot to mention! My beater’s back on the road, since James showed me how to repack the hubs. I’m pretty chuffed with that, and the skytrain can bite my shiny metal ass. No more being stuffed in like sardines every morning! Also I looked at an apartment this morning… place I have is nice [...]
Back at the office today. It was dark and yucky this morning when I left, but the rain has since ceased and I think I might even see the sun trying to peek out over in the vicinity of Canada Place. Not sure. Anyway I wish I’d ridden my bike. Actually I wish my winter [...]

I think my blue bike (the beater) is about to bite the dust. Everything’s going wrong with it… it needs new cables and housings, the seatpost needs constant adjustment, the saddle hurts my lady bits, the fork is garbage, the chain is uber stretched, the shifters are sticky, the freewheel makes weird noises, and now [...]

I went to a breakfast do at 7 this morning, so I was on the bike at 6:30. I’ve got a good rain jacket, and some new tights whose waterproofness claim I would put to the test. Half hour ride to the thing, then standing around in the rain for a bit, and my hands [...]

I bought a can of paint stripper the other day, and applied it to my newly acquired bike frame today. I shoulda got the can of brush-on stuff since the stripper is gone, and only part of the paint is. And even that took some hard work. Gah! I also have two forks, but the [...]
James’ cousin had an all-veg thanksgiving dinner tonight since her sister is a new vegetarian, and it was super nice. Lots of really good food and I feel way happier at an event which isn’t centred around a dead bird. Also, James’ friend (and his old roommate… guy lives with James’ dad) is finally really [...]

Wow, I am so tired after putting 130 km on the bike this weekend. 65 each way up to Pender Harbour and back. But it was a super place, really nice B&B, great weekend, great weather… James and I think we’d like to live somewhere along the Sunshine Coast sometime. uh… imma go take a [...]

Bike’s all fixed up now. She needed both derailleurs adjusted, plus the right brake lever and left front brake pad, and the front wheel was a bit out of true. He had a good look over it too… few scratches on the aluminum but all superficial and the carbon looks fine. So Fiona’s good to [...]
