  • Go to the cowboy store and get some work jeans. Make sure the tag says 100% cotton. They can be stiff and take a while to break in, but when they do, they're comfy and durable. I usually get wranglers for $25-30 and they last years and years. I usually replace them because they're oil stained, not worn-through.

    Bet purchase I ever made for my bike.

    It's a GPS tracker.

    I live in a bad neighborhood and am terrified of my bike disappearing, despite the big ass chain and big ass lock. If it gets stolen, I want to be able to find it ASAP.

    So I picked up an Optimus GV75MG from the evil Amazon website for about $55 US and $12 US per month. It's super powerful for the price, and hard wires directly to the battery (only 2 wires needed).

    I'm pretty sure its "movement detection" is an accelerometer, so I barely touch the bike and I get "Movement detected!" email within a minute or two. I sleep so much better with this thing installed.

    It was also fun watching the mechanic do laps around the parking lot from the internet today haha.

    Not a shill or anything, just a regular ass dude who wants to help people without garages/secured parking. A cellular GPS tracker in 2023 is cheap, a stolen motorbike is expensive.

    I went to my first Bike Night today.

    I went to Cycle Gear to get some new gloves and it was bike night. I did my best not to be socially awkward, and talked with a few people.

    The coolest bike I saw a sweet ass '87 Honda Interceptor 1000 that's probably fast as hell, and a Honda V4 superbike that was electro modded. Never found out whose it is, but it was cool.

    It's too bad I had already eaten, because they even had free hot dogs.

    God I love the motorcycle community.

    I had fun.

    My Trayvax wallet will outlive me.

    Screw the ridge wallet, this thing is a beast. With full grain leather and a coated stainless steel body, this wallet is built like an absolute tank.

    Can I clean the gunk out of the bearing without disassembling?

    My EDC is a Buck Sprint Pro and it's getting difficult to open. The knife has a bearing at the pivot point, and dirt is getting in there. I want to clean it out and regrease it, but I really don't want to take it apart if possible. I will if I have to, but I've never disassembled a pocket knife before.

    I just got done exercising by choice for the first time since 2016.

    I'm entering my late 30s, and my body isn't taking care of me because I have not taken care of it for most of its adult life.

    I went rollerskating on a local trail/walking path. Skating is much more fun than running; I absolutely hate running when it's not to save my own life. It was not very smooth, so it was particularly difficult. It was pretty though, and I feel great now. I went 3 miles in all. I had fun, 8/10, would do again, but on a smoother path next time.

    Lately (past 3ish years) I have been struggling with finding the motivation to do the simplest of tasks, but my partner went to work and I was bored. I figured, "why the hell not?" baby steps.
