Rottenness
Some days nothing seems right in the world. I thought I was having a bad day. My Phil Wood wheel is still fouled up and may be beyond repair. (Note to Self, take cogs off, if possible, before cutting spokes) I had a flat. Nothing bad there in itself but I broke two tire levers and then pinched my tube trying to get the tire back on without levers. Walk a couple of miles in my cleats and tell me that’s right.
So I am sitting here feeling sorry for myself waiting for the Phil Wood guy to call back and I read a letter in Velo News. Jimi Mortensen, a cross Country Mountain Biker got a two year doping suspension for not showing up for out of competition testing. basically he didn’t officially retire and failed to file paperwork and now he’s a doper. He can’t race in NORBA events period and everyone thinks he’s been taking dope. Excuse me, but the guy has a full time job, a business on the side, and a new child. Why should anyone want to race?

The weather is pretty good but here I sit indoors. The Phil Wood guy still hasn’t called back and the Gas company hasn’t come by with a replacement oxygen tank and I still have to make another trip to the grocery store since I didn’t want to walk there with a flat tire.
Whine whine whine.

You're starting to sound like me. Have a beer and figure out how to appease the other 'gods' for having bragged about how the weather 'god' had such a wonderful week laid out for you.
what happened to the wheel?

The drive side bearings came out. Phil Wood fixed it, UPS ruined it. The cogs are frozen to a rimless hub. Nothing good so far.
Note to self, ALL, everyone, skewers double as Tire Levers for that vary reason. Next time do not walk. Use your Quick Release on your wheel Skewers as your Tire Lever.
