From my phone to your screen.  Pictures from the last 2 months, I think…

Zach’s cracked Canyon Ultimate CF Evo at the shop.

73% of your daily intake of sodium, no big deal.

Last week’s wash.

Bird’s eye view comb-over.

For Tim.  Cut 2 your look yoga pants.

As seen on TV has it’s own section, obviously.

One of the few times I’ve been into the Westfield.

Alameda flea market, first of the month.  Enough stuff to make you dizzy.

If you know, you know.

Nick desktop zoomed on Liz’s iMac and couldn’t figure out how to zoom out.  I couldn’t figure it out either, since the mouse wheel didn’t work in reverse, for some reason…Saul to the rescue.

raisins are mechanically stemmed and may contain an occasional grape stem or wood piece.

always on my way to work.

imitation tul backpack…’ful’.

a gift from my aunt to my mom – harry and david royal riviera pears.  $30 for 7.  they’re quite delicious, but a bit on the expensive side!

the holiday season.

the edge of the world.

forever a student.  there’s always more to learn.

all fruit lunch for work.

back on the bike tomorrow morning.  the water has been out for about 2 hours in the area.  hoping it’ll be back soon, apparently the water department shut off the water in the area due to a cracked pipeline or something.  I’ll report back when I know more.

my apologies for having the blog down for the majority of the day.  the url expired, but I’m happy to report that it’s back up and running.  thanks everyone for the continued support.  as a side note, I took a day off the bike today.  I think I may finally be slipping into a weekly routine – it’s much easier to maintain a regular riding schedule with a normal work week, instead of haphazard meetings all over the place, like when I was a contract worker.  anyway, over the last 2 weeks, I’ve woken up wednesday mornings with borderline burn-out sensations.  I guess it may be time to ride more within my own limitations through the week.  weekends will always be choice days to ride and race.

thanks for bearing with the internet issues.  have some dailies!

san francisco gradients.

2.39 for 4oz of pom seeds seems a bit expensive considering pomegranates are about a dollar and produce twice the amount of seeds provided in this container.  interesting to see just seeds for sale though.

golf ball finder glasses…?

always the longest minute ever.

paper mache bear in blick.

extremists out on black friday.  the usual.

stockton street tunnel now has compact led flood lights lining the ceiling.  do want.

190e 2.3 – you already know.

proof: 5 speed dogleg transmission.  flawless interior!

the weather has been a bit damp and cold this weekend – I’ve opted out of riding the last 2 days to avoid catching cold, but will be back tomorrow morning to resume riding half paradise.  in the meantime, have some dailies:

getaround had some random guy handing out flyers near the edge of chinatown.  he looked sad surrounded by >50 year old individuals – clearly, not the target market of getaround car share.  but as I was walking by, he jumped up and handed me a double-sided flyer, telling me to “have a nice day”.  will do, guy.  doubtful I’ll ever use getaround as a service, but I thought it was interesting they had a kiosk stand in a less than prime location.  3 blocks down on columbus would’ve been a lot better.

spy the big rig turbo.

osgood, so good.

waiting between 2 meetings earlier this week brought me to pier 5.

first globe I’ve seen out in the wild.  let’s not forget garrett chow was the one who established globe as a brand underneath specialized.

retiring the black on black for some black on black.  from chucks to airwalks, half the price, and just about the same amount of blackness.

wandering around.

the beginning of all good things.  you already know what’s up.

the ingredient in the middle is key.

traditional balsam swag, obviously.

the new slate.

absorbing vitamin d.

cal giant pro cycling blackberries.  these were amazing, by the way.  no wonder why their pro 1/2 squad is so fast.

as a side note, I dropped off the bike at the shop today to get gore ride on sealed cables installed, the phil wood bb30 bottom bracket bearings replaced (they were toasted), new chain installed, pedals lubed, and to pick up my showers pass pro tech st rain shell.  stoked to finally get my hands on a showers pass shell, I’ve heard great things about them.  I’m all set for the rain and winter to come, especially with the fully sealed gore ride on cables!

the meccanico giro has been sold.  the s-works langster is on it’s way and will be here on tuesday.  I’ll be placing the order for all the parts when it shows up.  stay tuned for the build.

monday’s ride.

well, you can probably already assume that I forgot to stop along the way back to take a picture of today’s riding conditions.  it was a bit more foggy and misty this morning on the bridge, and for a monday, the roads were pretty quiet.  I’m assuming that some people also took the day off, considering it’s halloween.  that being said, I’m excited to go candy shopping tomorrow – I’m hoping there’s going to be some bags of m&m’s, twizzlers, twix, kit kat bars, and variety packs on sale.  mmm, sugar.

while stopped at the end of the sausalito/mill valley path, a women (walking her dog) recognized me, and mentioned that she sees me everyday.  we talked briefly about the weather – today wasn’t nearly as cold as last week.  I’m not expecting the temperature to last much longer, though.  it’s already starting to become cooler during the evenings, and pretty soon, it’ll be warmers from head to toe.  on the bright side, the misty weather kept the bridge construction to a minimum.  there were only 4 workers on the marin side, working on the asphalt near the entrance.  all the lanes of traffic were gridlocked, as various ambulance, highway patrol, and cops flew past.  but by time I had made it to the first pillar, the southbound traffic was already starting to open up.  unfortunately, the cars heading towards marin were at a standstill.

halloween blues, presumably.

browsing around the oakland flea market.

spent time off the bike today.  took in some cityscape instead.

bikes are stored in the backyard.  thanks claudia.

I’ve been sitting on some of these for a short while, but enjoy anyway.

financial district sunsets.  a clear indicator that…

the days are getting shorter.

one of the 3d artists at viscira has a standing desk with a compact treadmill underneath it.  every second he’s at his desk, he’s walking.  I’m pretty sure he’s a marathon runner, he’s fitter than fit.  I have a lot of respect for thoroughly dedicated athletes, and this is currently at the top of my list for badass desk setups.

I always tend to eat apples in a weird staggered pattern which leaves me with an s-shaped piece at the end.  hmm.

thick and lush, 100% pure, grade a honey.  so nice!

brach’s candy corn and mellowcreme pumpkins.  as a kid, I used to hate candy corn, for some reason.  and if I did happen to come across some, I’d only eat the white portion of the corn, thinking it was sweeter than the rest of the ‘kernel’.  I think I came to the conclusion that it was all made from sugar, shortly thereafter, and started just eating them whole.  spy the badge: made with real honey.  honey is life.

looking down taylor.

a blindingly bright day at the alemany flea market.

genius mind.  devastating fighting secrets.

the night.

I’ve also updated the pro cycling transfers 2012 article I published several days ago – take a peak if you need to brush up on your rider’s knowledge!

I stayed indoors today, trying to rid some upper ribcage pain I had through the night, and far into the morning/afternoon.  I’m happy to say that it’s finally gone.  I couldn’t bear to eat or even walk around for a couple hours, it was horrible.  I’m jumping back on the bike tomorrow morning, looking forward to the freshly lubed chain.  hopefully, there’s no thick mist or crazy bridge construction…anyway, I dug through some photos and came up with these from the past week or so, enjoy!

I finally saw a pursuit porsche cayennepursuit makes high-end camera rigging equipment for use on commercials or promotional video.  their porsche’s are matte black so they don’t reflect against other cars while filming.  seeing one in the street was a total dream come true.

a geico puffed atmospheric ad unit.  smart, and just in time for this past weekend’s fleet week.

support your local.  I carried this bag when walking down to check out the columbus day parade and fleet week down by ghirardelli square.  not sure where my mom picked this bag up, but I wish she grabbed some more.  I don’t like metromint water, either.  they just happen to have a cycling team.  a big ‘hell yes’ for local racing.

‘forever ALone’?

then I saw frank chu, a san francisco legend.  he was happy to post up for a photo.  everyone around me acted like they had never heard of him before.  seriously?  the guy is such a gangster.  he was in mash.

the only track bike I saw all day.  a pink panasonic.

the fog rolled in thick, and the blue angels were cancelled (sunday).  still managed to see a couple air shows though.  the f-18 hornet was badass, as was sean tucker (team oracle) and their custom stunt plane, photographed above.  sean tucker even did a plane trick called the ‘tucker upper’.  his airshow had a slew of inversions, flips, and mid-air stalls – straight up crazy.

my apologies in advance for the spotty posts over the last couple weeks.  my parents have been getting ready to sell our old house in the richmond district and I’ve been over there frequently to help paint and such.  I figured it’s the least I can do since I lived there free and clear for 20 years.

I think this is from 2 weeks back.  first open house is tomorrow (sunday).

nart was here.

calvin with a blue donut around his neck.  feel better soon!

‘shaq’ via sidewalk chalk.  camera photo faux pas with a blurry finger…

an empty parking lot in san francisco, what a rarity.
