John is winning this one, hands down....or maybe up?

Had to purchase some new dress shoes for work last night, due to my other ones breaking. I really hate buying new shoes sooooooooooo much. Those first few weeks in stiff new shoes are always a cramp for my crappy wide feet. And these new shoes have a sole much too stiff for using the clutch. No bueno.

Field trip to the head office this afternoon for a get together with the local IT folk. Free lunch and most important, a shorter commute home once it is done. :happydance:

I would like to commend JBP on being retarded and able to function high enough to have successfully engaged in a career in IT. Honestly I never picked up on it. This explains why I haven't been given access to the courtesy phone. I am so sorry. Congrats on your retirement my friend....

Someone left a floater in the office crapper this morning. I want to understand the thought process involved here. Does anyone have an explanation for not flushing that down?

Maybe it went all Jesus style and rose from the pipes after the culprit flushed? It is the season after all...

where the trails are
Good morning.

Received a new seatpost for the road bike. I had a really nice carbon Speshy but the 20mm setback has been causing a bunch of fit issues lately. Picked up a used Thomson Masterpiece for a steal and it's lighter than most of the carbon posts I was looking at.

Sooooo, if anybody wants a sweet carbon 27.2 x 350mm x 20mm setback seatpost for your roadie .....

Perhaps they are just really proud of their work and wanted to show it off.

Congrats, jbp.

My flight in from San Diego arrived a touch after 1 am. Stupid inter-terminal train was napping, apparently. Between that and off-airport parking shuttle I didn't get back home until nearly 2:30. Today is off, at least, as my mostly legit travel day.

About 90% of the old-timers I worked with turned into hate filled fear mongering right wing nut jobs when they retired. including my dad. Don't accept the brown shirt at the retirement party.

If anything as I age I seem to shift further left. My grandfather (John Punnett Peters, Jr.) was a victim of Joseph McCarthy and crew, so I grew up thinking that if I said the word communist the microphones in the wall would get me; I have progressively lost that fear.
