Bling, and the Mother of all Holidays

My brother sent me an email this morning with a recommendation for an upgrade to my single speed Surly Karate Monkey.

Gulf-of-Monkey

He's drowning in his own drool over these wheels on ebay.

These are the ultimate in bling in an anti-bling sort of way.  ready to go disc? these would be a great upgrade for you. Expect to see them top over 800 though.

Well OK if you say so. $800 is more than my bike cost me. It'd be a stretch for someone like me who has no money right at this particular point in time. Man, I probably wouldn't take the monkey to the beach ever again. <shudder>Oh the sound of that sand grinding away...</shudder>

These wheels would make me the ultimate poseur. If I really wanted to give the impression that I knew what the hell I'm doing on the trail as I suit up at the trail head, I'm sure these would be the wheels I'd want on my bike.

Get out and ride. Looks like a decent day today. And be sure to tell that special you know who to have a happy Mommy's day. If that special someone happens to be your wife/partner/significant other or whatever then maybe, just maybe, if you're really sincere about your wishes - you are sincere right? And you got a card or present, right? You must conform. - you might just get the OK to get out and ride today.

Update: WTF is up with this weather around here? It's spring. Don't we deserve better?

weather forecast for 2006-05-14

Outside my window right now it looks like the skies are about to dump snow on us. No, it's a bit too warm for that, fortunately. This is just wild.
