We had to kind of pick and choose what would get paid for while I was out of work. Obviously, rent came first. Without breaking out into some sappy sob story, I'll put it frankly: Flickr Pro is expiring in a few days, so many of the photos won't load. Not that I am really able to upload much of anything from home anyway. Our Cable TV and Internet was cut on Friday. That means I have to tether via my mobile phone for Internet access at home. It's slow and disconnects often. Basically, it's more trouble than it's worth.
I figure things will probably return to normal in mid-to-late June.
Look for another S24O announcement soon, a-la One Ton Paceline. I've got the camping itch BAD, but we really dodged a bullet doing the trip in August. I'm thinking June might be better.
Also: I just realized I bought The Twelve 3 years (plus a few days) ago. It has logged more than 10,000 miles, believe it or not. In fact, I have had the same front tire on that bike since late 2007 when I got sick of the OEM tires and switched to Bontrager Hard-Case. The front tire has about 8,500 miles on it, without a single flat.

No need to apologize for taking care of yourself first. Hope things do turn a corner for you soon.
Things will only get better from here!
It'll get better, sure, except for that flat that it'll happen, now that you've said it hasn't happened yet! :) Congrats, man... I know just having a job is a huge weight off your shoulders.
I already jinx'd myself pretty good. A co-worker who used to ride all over Fort Collins several years ago asked me if I carry a flat kit. I do carry one. I suppose I should make sure the spare tube even holds air.
No worries. You gotta do what you gotta do.
Here's hoping I can make this S24O!
Ooo. Tempted fate there with the "no flat" comment, Noah. ;)
I had one flat in the entirety of 2009, and it was because a valve stem ate it on my rear tube, after topping it off with the floor pump once a week for God-knows-How-Long. A flat might mix things up a bit. three flats would get annoying.
By the way, all this talk about flats (and you guys are saying it too!) Who wants to take lots on the first one of you guys to go down? :P
Aakk! Now, I need to find that little vial of Harvey Firestone dust so I can sprinkle it over all of my bike tires and intone the magic incantation:
"Stay fullof it!" 8|
