Full-On Clusterfuck.

My new flatland bike came today. Actually, I should say my semi-usable flatland lego-building-block project arrived today. The UPS dude rolled in, I signed, scissored and gazed... The kid I bought it from completely disassembled it for shipping right down to the bottom bracket bearings and headset. At least the frame, forks & wheels pass the test.

So, like any good tech-monkey I went internet shopping. One arm and half a leg later the good folks at flatlandfuel.com got my order for what basically amounts to a brand new bike. Hey, it's going to be dope and I'll be damned if an investment like this is going to go unused and untapped. I'm going to go on an adventure on this bike. We're going to do things we never did before and have a hell of a time. It's just like starting a new relationship with a girl. You know, tenative at first, getting to know each other, adapting to idiosyncrisies and finally becoming comfortable and trusting.

The thing is: I can't wait to share her with my friends! That's most certainly NOT like having a new girlfriend! Ha!

So J-Homey, Justin and the Sarge are all going to get a piece of this girl when she's done. Thanks for the help guys, and thanks for keeping me in the game over here.

On a totally unrelated note: I'm dropping off my ballot tomorrow. I can feel a change brewing and I'm hoping against hope that I didn't make things worse by trying to make them new. That happens sometimes.
