Your Boinger is Here

Yeah it's another one of those "look what bike parts I got" posts. We'll see how much energy I have left at the end for more quality commentary, but don't hold your breath. First on the list is the new wheel for the fixie. When my old home-built jobby started looking like this,

I figured it was time for the real deal. Sure it could have gotten worse (the picture really doesn't do it justice), but why put off new stuff? Since Jen wasn't feeling too well in dance class and the shop was right next door, I decided to hang out and bug the guys while they were stringing things up for me.

Mmmmmmm new tight wheel. Just the way I like 'em. At least I hope. We'll find out soon enough. In addition to the wheel, I picked up my new Reba. Yeah, we've all seen a Reba, but this is my first Reba Race. It's sure to be an improvement over my last Reba. (Ha! I keep adding fake sarcasm html tags and blogger keeps removing them. stupid program!)

Anybody got some "Goof Off"? I need to get rid of those stickers. Actually, I find the new head I got for my weed whacker more interesting. It winds the string without tangling - and a hush goes over the crowd followed by a long "ooooooooooooooooooooh, aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".

And with that I'm done. Too tired and too stupid for more.

I will say Jen's first day on the new job went well. It's nice to see her dreading work because it's just work and not because everyone she works(ed) with drives(drove) her nuts. Sort of like the rest of us, maybe, though I can't even agree with what I just said.

Anyway, Anguilla pictures coming soon.
