Little Things You Hate

Thats the issue with this shit now. Quarantine/Iso, no work, no school, no anything...

Here's a mate in N Irelands post from about a week ago. 3rd time since 1/1/22 ~75 days.

We need to just get on with this shit.

Doesn’t COVID linger in your system for some months after the main symptoms have passed?

I bought the bike off a bicycle mechanic who changed shops, the bike was 1 month old and he fitted the $300 Kogel ceramic BB from new.

My max expenditure for a BB is Shimano XT.

Was looking at the matching Hellbender BB for my Deviate... fckn 200 what

I have to admit I do now spring for XTR BBs now. Hellbender is just a pipe dream

Big spender... can tell you 'only' have one kid

I only have 1 and I still can't afford them. Thank god

Holy crap. Just googled the pricing. They are more than Chris King. You would it to be the most amazing thing ever for nearly $500 Aussie pesos.

Even if things go smoothly, it’s still shit. I feel for you mate.

Theres no winning. I kept the house I bought, still left me feeling hollow. Just took time to get over it.

Cheers, it is an empty-feeling time for sure. But at least no more checking in with someone when I want to do something

As far as I know, you can test positive with a PCR for 1-3 months while the virus sheds. I think a RAT only picks up in a small window.

This bloke had symptoms, sick in bed and recovered, just to get sick again ~5 weeks later, takes a RAT and positive again.

There's Hellbender 70 and Hellbender 110.

The one with the gold paint in the groves is stupid money.

The normal Hellbender 70 is still $250 at Pushys but a lot better priced from Ze Germans... still got nothing on a $30 XT BB for value. Can afford to replace the XT x 5 even at German prices.

I was going to match up my Hellbender 70 headset with the BB... fekk that.

Swings and roundabouts hey ahaha.

Only 2 for me.

The demolition crew get NX level chains on their bikes, no point putting anything decent on there when they are only going to break them.

We get all of our permits from Parks Victoria sorted for the Dirt Critters kids MTB sessions that run over daylight savings,at least six months in advance every year.
Only two weeks left for this season, and we rock up last night to find they have done a reduction burn on our designated Mtb tracks.

Damn! Thats a little inconvenient

Somewhat. 100 kids split into 10 groups, hungry for dirt…and we had to either use a nearby oval or hit the bike paths.

LTIL. Yesterday I get notification that Cyclinic has posted my newly serviced forks back to me. Thursday expected delivery Get notification this morning that they will arrive about 10am. Winning!

LTIH. Just get a notification they have been delivered. To my house. I know there is no one home and this package requires a signature. So I ring my neighbor and kindly ask if he can go and see if there’s a really fucking expensive package sitting on my very visible fucking veranda. Sure enough the forks are sitting there. Unbelievable. I even get an email from Oz post yesterday telling me how sorry they were because they can’t leave my package without a signature and will take it too the post office!
Chunts!

Edited: to make @Dales Cannon happy.

The one that I always have to double-check myself on is writing "of" when I meant to write "off". Ur, yore, yaw and tutu 2 are easy by comparison!

It's time to get into much vs many, and less vs fewer.

Gotta enliven this dreary old place somehow.
