Since I can’t ride a bike for a couple of weeks I spent some time today cleaning up my roadie so it won’t feel too neglected. I’ve got over 20,000 miles logged on this lil’ steelie!

This is true for me in my graphic design work as well: repetition brings a depth of awareness of elements and process that would be lost if I automated my practice.

One of the best things about pre-search Internet was the thrill of discovery. You relied on tips from friends, BBS forums, and IRC to discover new things.

Credit bureaus give away the game when they tell you your credit score has *decreased* simply because you are taking out a new line of credit. They are a scam, a grift set up to harvest and resell your information, and should be banned or so highly regulated that any unauthorized use/leak of your information should result in — let's say — a direct payout to you of no less than $10 million.

I have a great skateboard deck from the most excellent dude Sean Adams on my studio wall with a quote from Fast Times at Ridgemont High which always makes me smile. (photo in next comment)

@bolderbekah@mastodon.social that’s quite a first 14er to do! Mine was Blue Sky — we hiked from Echo Lake to the top when I was five. Took a car back down lol

@Artemis201@mstdn.social took me three tries to get to the top of that one! It sure is pretty up there, though. The weather seems a bit more changeable in that part of the range for some reason.

The first time I attempted to summit Mount Massive we were about 200 meters from the summit on a ridge and the clouds rolled in, uncharacteristically early. We could hear the ice axes on our backs humming. We promptly bailed down one side of the ridge on a snowfield, glissading about 400 meters in just a few minutes to get out of danger. Probably the scariest on-mountain event I ever had.

Your body is a movement engine. Try and move it a little bit every now and then to keep it happy.

Current physical state, after falling on my already weak side with my cargo bike on top of me — as I was trying to mount it! (Yes, I am apparently cursed to fall of bikes, but only when stopped)

My quandary: I biked to the grocery store and stopped at a coffee shop on the way home for an icy drink. Currently in the coffee shop, realizing it is now one thousand degrees outside and I have to pedal through it to get home. Or stay here and let my food melt/burn up

My brother’s e-bike is saving the day for me as I gradually return to cycling after my back started crumbling to dust a month ago *and* as I recover from some surgery a week ago. It lets me move my body in a way that is beneficial and low-impact, and gives me boosts when I pedal so I can still get to places I enjoy. 1/2

The Little Free Library we host is still going strong. I tend to it every other morning or so, organizing it roughly by category and weeding out the religious tracts someone keeps trying to insert here. My brother in Christ if people want religion there are at least three churches within walking distance. This is a place for potboilers, romance novels, fantasy, science fiction, do-it-yourself tomes, and Very Gay Literature. 🗡️🌹🧌👽🛠️🦄🌈

@ascentale@sfba.social @oheso@ieji.de @bikenite@fedigroups.social One thing I would advise is to not wash your bike with pressure washer, as it can force water into places that you won’t want it (shifter cable housings, scratches in paint which will make it flake off sooner) and displace lubricants out of places where you do want them (wheel hubs, especially). I use a garden hose sprayer, sponge, dish soap, and (for the drivetrain) an old stiff toothbrush.
