Random nonsense Two days to Mike’s wedding. No other projects up. Not doing enough riding, but I am stomping around the bike shed a lot. Picked up the tuxedo yesterday, and dropped off the wedding present, so Mike and Marjie can’t back out now. They won’t give me a refund on the tux. I too […]

Bicycles: the other rusting, inedible meat So, what kind of dishes will I be making with the fresh bikes? I have a chart on my wall. The Lovely One will get indexed shifting this year. The Auto-Mini will get put on hold (it looks like this), until a 7-speed gearhub is acquired and probably just […]

Uh-oh Today, after a particularly successful hunt of the region’s garage sales with my imaginary friend Dave (The Lovely One, having not yet met Dave, insists he doesn’t really exist), I came home with: 2 high-quality Serratus saddlebags ($12) a bunch of records and a Chinese-style embroidery for TLO ($7.50) A whole lotta Atari 2600 […]

And here I thought I had nothing to post about Google, as part of its ongoing plot to take over the world, has finally given me a shot at a GMail account. So I’m rcousine@gmail.com, and let’s see if this thing has any use at all. They seem to be trying some fairly clever concepts […]

Isn’t he cute? The shed is up. I had my misgivings about the project for a while (especially when I was putting in the joist supports, every one of which I cut a little too short), but it looks like it will be usable as a real work space, even with a pile of bikes […]

Shed’s up, I’m out Thank heavens. The shed project is done. But no photos of that yet, not even the silly one once again showing that I tastelessly own three blue bikes with identical orange seats. Instead, I think I’ll just say I’m kinda beat. Oh, but I have to mention Greg Viger’s cool real-estate […]

Rain! Well, that has certainly damped my plans to work on the shed tonight. We’ll see what happens. I would like to personally thank Quentin Tarantino for appearing on American Idol tonight. This caused me to watch the show, something I would normally not do of my own volition. This caused me to see his […]

Not much to say tonight. Ate too much chocolate of course, worked on the shed some more (walls up, roof not up. Maybe tomorrow), and now I just want to post the prettiest flower picture ever. The full-size picture is quite spectacular; for once I wish I had a full-resolution version of this, but I […]

Happy Easter! Up and down. Christ is risen, thank God, which means I can end my Lenten devotion of not procrastinating. For the next fifty days, it’s nothing but unrepentant laziness! Ahem. You see, that’s the problem with taking on a more nebulous form of self-improvement than giving up chocolate. With chocolate, you give it […]

Feeling proud Okay, now that the Pacific Populaire times have been posted, I thought I’d take a few paragraphs to brag about the magnitude of my achievement, followed by a few sentences of proper humility. You’ll notice that me and Kristine finished with an official time of 2:55. I don’t really know her, but we […]
