My secret stash of christmas candy & cookies. Well, not "christmas cookies" but you know, cookies, from christmas. If I'm hyper a lot this month, you'll know why.

My egg machine makes eggs that are perfectly round but small in diameter. So while they don't fit great in giant bagels, they make much better english muffin sandwiches.

You know, its funny. I went to the bike store with my old frame, and I come home with two frames. But they were right, my old frame really wouldn't make a very good skate park bike. And the new one I got will make a very good one, and I got a really good deal on it. So now I have an orange Kona frame that I need to turn into a crazy park bike. And now I REALLY have no use for my old Klien frame, so I need to sell that. I'm hoping I can get $200 for it but, we'll see. This will make a good park bike, good water jump bike, and hopefully a good backup mountain bike for when the Maverick has problems (problems meaning a broken derailer hanger most likely). But I'm not giving up suspension and going hardtail single speed like everyone else is these days. OoooOOOOOoooooh no, my Maverick is the shizzz-nit and it's not going anyway. I just need something better for the half pipes :-)

Needless to say, I didn't stay with this advertising agency very long. I think it was a few minutes and then decided they sucked, and google was better :-D

Its 72° out. Its January 6th. Clearly we broke the world. But for now, it's not so bad. I want to go swimming.

Yes this car is parked. It looks like I took a picture of a car while it was pulling over, but nope. There is no one in this car. It is parked like that. This person should not be allowed to drive.

Hey, Orange bike is starting to look kind of like.... a bike! It would look even more like a bike if my camera phone didn't suck. Handlebars would also help. I've got a large order of parts coming in the mail, hopefully friday. Then I have to pick up a few parts at the bike shop, and by next Wednesday, the bike should be complete. Then I'll be off to Rye with it, or maybe even Taunton! More pics to come...

So I watch The Departed last night. What a great movie. Most amount of famous people in one movie in a long time. Now I'm not going to tell you who dies at the end, but I'll tell you this, the person you pick... you're probably right.

Now I'd love to go on and on about how good this movie is, HOWEVER I think I'll let Fitzy tell you about it instead: Fitzy's Review of The Departed

Oh and if you want to see a trailer, to go Apple.com, they have HD movie trailers that are almost gauranteed to be larger than your screen! The Departed Trailer

Now look at this!! This is damn near a bike now! All I really have to do is remove another link out of the chain, get it nice and tight, and its good to start going. The rear brake just goes straight down since I didn't get the gyro yet. And there is no front brake since that hasn't arrived yet either. But it's definitely skate park worthy! And I may give it a first run Sunday down in Taunton...

Lots of people who mountain bike, don't use their big ring. So they remove it. Then they go buy a huge bash guard to go in its place, so they have something to smash into instead of that gear they don't use. Problem is that bash guards cost like twice as much as big rings. So when I was building orange bike, I decided to make it a single speed. So I removed the granny gear. And i put the chain on the middle ring. Then I removed the big ring, used a metal grinder to grind all the teeth off and make it nice and smooth, then put it back on. I'm so friggin' smart!
