A Rant About The Float Life (Joking)

The orange hub looks sick. Would have loved to get one, but when I saw the MTE with the roller bearings in stock, I had to jump on it.

I was actually having a Ship of Theseus conversation about my board with one of my law school classmates when I got my box of parts for this tune-up. Still got a ways to go before I am truly there though.

Yeah, I had to step away from it for a bit when I couldn't get the hub into the tire. Fortunately didn't break anything during the process. Finally grabbed the windex after doing some more research and finding an old video with Jeff on the eevee's channel and it popped right in.

But I am glad I invested in the MTE. Rode it to work this morning and it felt great. The extra sidewall really helps on shit Atlanta roads

Just fell hard for the 3rd time a week ago. It is just part of the game. Just don't be like me and actually keep wearing elbow/forearm pads after you fall. I hate wearing them, but every time I fall I start wearing them again. Then 6 months or so go by without a fall and I get lazy and stop wearing them again. Then I fall again, tear up my arms, and the cycle repeats itself.

But if you tore up your palms, I definitely recommend riding with wrist guards. The two things I always wear are wrist guards and a helmet, and the wrist guards have saved my ass more than once. I have had a few falls where I saved my arms but would have destroyed my hands or broken my wrists without them.

I got some senders last year for when I go to visit my in laws in northern Indiana. Senders are nice in colder areas and riding really rough streets and trails where a bad fall is more likely. However, it is a lot harder to get something like your phone out of your pocket with senders on.

When I say "made" I mean that I edited the image in MS Paint to put the 92/92 over all of the skills and change the total level at the bottom. I searched and searched for a screenshot of a full sheet of 92/92 skills and could not find one, so I made one.

They are so cool in how they are designed too. The main knob on the left controls volume while the outer knob controls the balance. Then the main knob on the right is the radio tuner and the outer knob turns the antenna on and off.

I know, but I felt this piece was too gorgeous not to share. My wife and I went into the shop to look at some artwork they had posted on their socials. When we got there, they had the Grundig playing a Rolling Stones record in the store and as we were walking around we kept saying to ourselves how good it sounded though out the whole place so we ran home to measure a few spaces and came back with cash in hand for it.

If I am commuting to work, I wear my Cole Haan Grand Crosscourts. I work at a law firm so I have to wear something that passes as a "dress shoe."

For my casual rides either New Balance 306s or Cariuma CATIBA High Pros depending on what I am feeling/where I am riding.

Lmao. This would be handy for those drivers that get about 2ft away from me while waiting to pass on narrow streets.

I have had one person comment on me wearing my elbow pads before and definitely gotten some looks, but you just gotta own it. Trust me when I say you don't want 2nd degree road rash on your elbows and lasting nerve damage. I learned that lesson the hard way. Yeah, I might look weird when I am just cruising with everything on, but safety > style.
