WOW was that cold. I left my house at aprox 7:00am, thinking I'll be a little late getting to work, but it might be a little less slippery if the sun gets on the trail a bit.
Ok, so I started me day of wrong and just made it a habit most of the day.
The ride in was ok, I had a little bit of a trouble with some of the climbs, I still have the semi slick tire on the back so it was all over the pace if i stood up. Other then that everything went ok.

Once I got off bike trails, and onto streets it was just wet, the only sporty places were where the snow was being insulated from the road by leaves.
After racking the bike, I changed out the back tire for me Kenda X-trail (Love that thing).
The ride home was much better, with the exception of my rear derailleur froze up tight, I had three gears. Fastest speed I could make was 6mph... 6 I tell you 6. what usually takes me 30-40 min took me over 1 hour and 30 min. at this point I was freezing.
Headed over to the bike shop and got a can of alcohol degreaser and went to town on the derailleur, they also found a broken cable housing, and something "technical" in the back axle was loose.
Got a new patch kit, CO2, and spray for 24 bucks, I love my LBS.
On to the geek stuff.
Vista has failed me...
I gave vista a year, can't do it any longer. On Friday I slip streamed SATA drivers into a XP pro install and, ahhhhhhh, back to a real OS. Much happier now.
Nuclear Cooling Tower...
Its a vase, its a router is a Nuclear Colling Tower.
I have a rule, well two rules actually.
1) Don't drink anything blue. :)
2) Never, ever, mix water and gadgets, but this is kid-of geek sexy.
RPGs=Bad, Quick kill defense system=Badder...
