Jar and I just got back from a 14 mile ride by the lake and then into Boystown to pick up a check from Jared’s client. We used the brand new Google Maps Bike There (woot woot!) feature to plan the route. Ryder mentioned it in the comments on the last post. [...]
I didn’t do much today except kick back and scavenge around on the internet, so you guys can reap the benefits of my laziness.
WWII in recapped in a language I can understand.
Deforestation leads to an unexpected discovery.
Meant to post this image a while ago. Our friend Bill informed us that someone sent his photo [...]
Happy Monday everyone. My weekend begins now. It is kinda weird having Tuesday and Wednesday replace my Saturday and Sunday, but that’s how it goes when the busiest days in the shop are on the weekend. My “weekend” here isn’t very fun anyways. Sometimes I go work on more bikes for [...]
Darlin’ don’t you go and cut your hair
Do you think it’s gonna make him change?
Spring is on the way. Time to stop hibernatin’. I got a haircut. A bowl cut…or pasta strainer cut…courtesy of Charlie. Thanks Chawles! The poor ole chap was here for almost a month and I’m [...]
The young whippersnapper turns a whopping 24 today! I threw him a dinosaur and Catwoman themed (found a bunch of dusty vintage party stuff that had been sitting in an Indian dollar store since the early 90s) birthday party at 12 o’clock last night.

Update:
You may recall that last year we celebrated this most [...]
Today was monumental for us. Remember a while back I said one of the reasons I wanted to stop bike touring was because Jared’s teef are rotten and about to fall out of his head? Well, Jared finally went to the dentist!
The verdict is that he will need: 11 fillings + 2 wisdom [...]
Or at least it seemed that I spent nearly as much time going to and from the shitter as I spent out on the course at 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo. I settled into a pattern during the race of completing a lap, eating a fuck ton, and then passing out in my [...]
I’ve been having serious Tucson withdrawals for the past 2 weeks. It was too much fun to end so soon and have to come back to this gloomy metropolis. Do you want to hear about the 24 Hour race? Well, sorry that is tomorrow’s post, but I will tell you about all [...]
Well, before I complete my tale of the Tucson adventure, I would like to inform all 5 of you that I am sick. Sicker than I’ve been all year, in fact. It started creeping up on me the last day that I was in Tucson, and by the time I got on the [...]
As most of you know, I spent the past two weeks basking in the glorious Tucson sun compliments of Erik R (whose name is now being abbreviated to protect his upright standing in society). Not only did Erik fly me out, he permitted my hobo camp to commandeer his living room for 2 weeks. [...]
A few months ago, when we first moved to this cruel cold city, I noticed this bike locked up outside of the local Target.
Wow cool! 1st generation FS butted aluminum MTB w/ Florescent orange swing arm, early 90’s Deore XT and Mavic rims w/ 1.9 slicks. Something you don’t see everyday….
I few weeks later I [...]
I guess my protest yesterday actually made an impact on my boss because today at work he said that I would be able to stay working in the dungeon and don’t have to do sales during the summer. He said I am doing a good job with zee bikes. I guess sometimes it [...]
What’s Up?
25 years of my life and still
I’m trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination.
I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made for this
Brotherhood of man
or whatever that means
Actually, shit I’m even older than that…but the song is resonating with me right now in several ways. [...]
Not much time to post today as I am off to work soon. Workin on restoring a Raleigh 3 speed right now as well as this puppy (a Monark from the 50s), which is currently in rust-bucket condition. It has a New Departure coaster brake hub, which I took apart the other day. [...]
I told you I’m a Ninja Turtle! Last night, Jared and I rode South on the lakefront path during a snowstorm. Jared convinced me to do this because he had to ride down to Lakeview to meet a client and get a check. He lured me in with the prospect of pizza. [...]
“My mother is a fish.”
Snook:
This guy did it all. Won a gold medal. Was head professor of Vet School at Ohio State. Invented a surgical instrument (the Snook Hook, which was named after him), murdered his mistress, and got zapped in the electric chair.
Snook:
nicknamed “the human jukebox” and “Blind Snooks Eaglin”…this guy [...]
WIABIS has posted before on how much we love Japan. We are too poor to go to Japan anytime in the near future, but there is lots of Japan in movies, on the internetz and on the YouTubez. We just finished watching Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away. Have you seen ‘em? [...]
As of tonight, we will no longer have to inflate our bed before going to sleep. Or should I say I will no longer have to inflate our bed, as Jared always forced me to do the blowjob every night. Our trusty air mattress hath served us well up until this point, but [...]
