psipsySince I got Coppermine up and running, I'm starting to move pictures over into that for the sake of better managing them, rather than have them scattered around on the site. Currently I have it set up so that only ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Ok, so I've been doing the exercise thing for almost two months now, and I'm noticing something weird happening: I'm losing weight. Yes, LOSING weight. Nothing drastic, but it's a noticeable change. When I started this regimen, I was approaching 260; now I'm hanging around at about 245. Also, listening to Underworld's "Cowgirl (Bedrock Mix)" while on the elliptical makes for a grueling workout, and I'm loving it. Capsule's "CrazEEE Skyhopper" has the same effect. Suggestions for other good workout songs: GO!
Still can't decide if I want to get another bike or keep fixing the one I got. Taking a good close look at it under good light reveals some issues, such as the mounts for the front brakes are loose, and I can suddenly imagine the brakes flying off while trying to apply them. For that, a new fork would be beneficial, as it's the same fork that literally broke while I was riding it, and was welded back together by the kindness of my neighbor who had the appropriate skills and equipment. So, new fork would cost a few bucks. Also the rear wheel has some wobble to it, not the kind from mal-adjusted spokes, but a clunk-clunk wobble. That can't be good.
You, the reader, might be wondering why I suddenly have a jonesing to get back into bike riding, or you're just shaking your head at another of my phases. But like I said earlier, there's nothing quite like bike riding, and there are many places that are only accessible by such. So the other day I was in a specialty bike shop and looking around and all they had some seriously nice rides, but the prices started at what most people would pay for a decent used car. I decided that I didn't need a bike that was that high-end, even if it would probably outlive me. Eh, I'll tweak the old one a bit more anyway and see how it holds up.
Ok, time to wrap this up and go to work and watch more anime tonight. Or fall asleep when I get home.

Date: 2006-10-13 12:24 pm (UTC)I've always preferred that kind since I could just zing off into the wilderness. They'll tune it up for me and it'll be ready for me to pick up this evening, if all goes well. A far cry from when I got that bike from Zayre's, which was *mostly* assembled (but it was still good), or that blue bike used which had problems from the start (and still does).
