I’d prefer to not talk about it for now, many things are on the roll. Suffice it to say my better half didn’t see the wisdom of a personal IPO, did allow the purchase of a fairly large asset for commercial use, and is a wonderfully amazing woman.
In other news, I’m back to trying to bike again. Since being domesticated in lower Alabama, I’ve gotten fat. Well, not fat per American standards, I can still run a sub 9 minute mile and have good vitals, but my middle section has put on pounds. I bought my first size 36 jeans ever this week… And that must stop.
So in that light, I’m rebuilding my old faithful bike as a cyclocross bike and going to start commuting.
For background:
Many moons ago I bought this love old ride form a guy down the hall where I worked. His son had had it, but hadn’t ridden in years. I paid $200 for it, and have put many 10’s of thousands of miles on it. It’s a 1983 hand lugged Italian bike with Campagnolo Record gearing. She’s beautiful, but tired. To give her new life, I’ve started the process of restoring parts, and improving others. Currently I’m exploring changing out the old worn gearing for something newer and more responsive, putting thicker tires on her, and hopefully this weekend taking her for a spin.
blech. I’m so very institutionalized. Next I’ll say we’re having 2.3 children, and are purchasing a minivan…
