Frustration Builds.

-I am sitting at home.... while my parents are at my sisters place.
-Really wish this wasn't the week that my immune system decided to let its guard down.
-Maybe i can see my nephew over the weekend.
-In other news, i showed my car today and i am 95% positive that he is going to buy it... for asking price!
-Meeting with him wednesday at the credit union to get everything squared away.. goodbye debt!
-Time to watch a movie, haven't watched anything in Blu-Ray in awhile.... maybe i will make use of my PS3 since i play videogames on my PS2.

Michael Brian Pinter

-I got a call at 10:10pm tonight.
-It is official, i am an uncle.
-If anything, this just made me feel a hole lot older.
-Hopefully i can go see in tomorrow night after showing my car.
-Also have three people interested in my car, super stoked and praying that it will be out of my hands by the end of this week.
-With that said, it tried to kill me on my way home.
-Took the on-ramp at my normal 45mph at entree, got mid-way through the ramp and the rear end decided to no longer stick... got a good amount of angle, enough for about a half turn of counter steer with some throttle to pull the rear end around. I felt like i had a "WTFisgoingon" look on my face.
-I came to the conclusion that the tire shine is most likely to blame, it is the only thing that was on my car that i never put on... for the above reason, as soon as you load up a tire it folds a bit and hits the tire shine that is as slick as oil.

New Headset Day!

-Been sick the last few days......
-Not sure if the ones that read this know or not, but the headset that came with the LandShark was completely shot.
-Luckily for me Warren had a Tange that he was selling.
-Picked it up from him this afternoon and put it on, what a world of difference.. i love new parts, makes it feel like a new bike again.


-Heading out to Bicycle Garage in a bit to get my rear wheel trued... it has a good amount of side to side movement and it is making me feel sketch cause it is getting close to the chainstays.
-Here is the WTFisgoingonhere of the day. If you don't see what i am talking about... you suck!


-Working all day tomorrow... making that paper.

-I think i am going to Oakland with Daniel on sunday... maybe alameda also.. not sure... we will see.

Picture Post. Thanks Edsel!

-Edit: Found this on a random blog and i thought it should be posted. Better late than never. Never Forget.


-Seat and Post are on their way out ASAP!














-Ryan's Kenisis. We both got Puruit/Triple Triangled bikes the same weekend... random!



-Don't ask... just know that it worked out in the long run.




-Thanks again for the pictures Edsel. Photo's taken from clicksel.wordpress.com.

1 Picture for now... more to come.

-Headed to the Chrome Party on Friday night, which got shut down.
-On BART i decided to check craigslist. Probably a mistake, since i found a great deal on a LandShark Track Shark Puruit Frame.
-Ate a pretty good burrito with Mike and Daniel.
-Called the guy that was selling the frame and he accpeted my offer.
-Chilled at Carl's for a bit and then at the Island until it was time to head home.
-Got off work on Saturday and met up with Manny. Headed to Sac to pick up the frame.
-Cleaned it up when i got home and tried to sleep, it didn't really happen since i was super stoked to build up the bike the next day.
-Woke up early on Sunday to go get the wheelset in SF. I woke up Daniel at 9am.. he wasn't very happy with me.
-We ate some hella good breakfast at All You Knead. Little place on Haight that is really good, and priced very good.
-Headed to Avenue and American to check out some stuff.
-Ended up at BoxDog to pick up the last few parts i needed to complete the bike.
-Left SF and went to Sunnyvale for Daniel's friend Kat's fundraiser.... got 15% off my Brooklyn cap!
-After we went back to my place to build up my bike. Everything went pretty smooth.
-Still need a new seatpost and a different saddle. I also need to replace the headset, other than that everything is all good.
-Better pictures will be up in a little bit.
-This one was taken by Jensen. Thanks!

Karma

"Karma: where the one you fucked with could have solved your problems"


-On another note, I got the new Jay-Z album. I must say it is a very different sound, but one that makes me want to put the album on repeat. A few... questionable tracks, but that is something that comes with any modern day album.

-Last but not least, I no longer have the camera I was borrowing from my brother-in-law... so my blog will be a little bare for awhile.

Epic WednesDay Off!

-Started my day off by riding from my place in Union City out to Pleasanton to pay off my stupid speeding ticket. Finished up with that around 12:30. Since i was in the area i called up Ryan to see what he was up to. He planned on going out to the city to shoot with Yu. Figured i would join in.

-Met up with everyone at Fatlace. Lots of people and bikes, no customers.....
