You should have had added 24:
24. If I make it into the top 24 at SSaP it will be a miracle
Why do I keep getting emails to join MapMyFitnesslike 5x a day in the last 2 weeks. Coincidence???

1. City, 3rd day in a row
2. I ended up drinking wine again last night but this was for a work function
3. Turns out there's a bar on the 7th floor of the building
4. Been to the aquarium a few times. Good stuff, but we're not bringing the kids so I'm going to bike as much as I can
5. I'm hoping to ride to DC and back
6. MMF - cannot bulk upload. Only 1 at a time
7. I have an account. Give me a shirt
8. Mooch Madness this year will be the best race ever
9. Party at Ilya's!
10. If I'm top 30 on Sunday I'll be more than happy
11. I'm serious
12. I'm aiming for cross more than anything
13. In the fall I'm going to tell everyone I was really aiming for cross in 2014
14. Looking forward to a few days in Baltimore with nothing to do. Andy does have to work but we'll still have some free time.
15. I may be repeating myself but I don't feel like going back to re-read what I wrote yesterday, etc
16. Bill & I both have half sisters
17. I'm capping the Mooch Madness race at 64
18. We're watching Despicable Me tonight with the kids
19. Tomorrow is a Geocache day
20. The hot water at work is not hot, so the tea is lukewarm. This does not make good tea
21. Why is lukewarm a word but luke warm isn't but Luke warm is?
22. Is Luke warm?
23. Boss in town this week and wants to go to get pizza on Stone Street
24. I bet Jake has been there
25. Jake won't commit to the team gathering
26. Why does Jake hate me so?
27. Where's the KOM area on MMF?
28. I'm happy it's Friday

You probably didn't even realize that I was paying attention...sorta 😱
Proper tea requires the water at a rolling boil. The Irish know beer, I mean tea 😉
HA! i'm actually working now so my interwebz trolling has been reduced.
1. i have no clue why the bulk upload isn't working. i'll check but i know i did it...and i also don't know what's doing with the garmin plug in. just got that one for the first time. i also don't know where the KOM stuff is. hey, i'm new here but i will find out.
2. use it and you'll get a shirt. 🙂
3. i love you. you're a sweet heart. i'm gonna kiss you tomorrow to prove it.
4. listing things is good. short and sweet. like me.
5. i have been to stone street. you know this b/c i text'd you when i was there and invited you to hang out.
6. you didn't show but you were in jersey so it's kind of a valid excuse.

no, no it is not. 😀
actually we're doing a big push on the MVP stuff right now. it's like 2.99 for the first month which is 1/2 price.
Baltimore Notes
* It's really a pretty lame city. I e-hooked up with Kevin (not Kev) and he told me that basically Baltimore sucks and to leave it. I rode around Baltimore a bit, then got a flat literally less than a mile after a neighborhood where people probably get car jacked from time to time. I did not tell this to Andy at the time because I knew she would worry. But Kevin was right.
* I then went to a bike shop to get 3 tubes, which ran me $38. The guy yelled at me for leaving my bike outside the shop. In his bike rack. He told me not to leave my bike unattended for 1 minute and he literally stood at the door and watched until his wife rang me up. The tubes were steep but he may have saved me a stolen bike so it's a push.
* The next morning I found a large gash in my tire. Between this and the crappy weather, I gave up on the DC & back trip. Instead I ended up finding maybe 7 or 9 geocaches in the city. And I read a lot and slept in. It was a much needed few days of nothing.
* I ate 2 incredibly good meals. Monday with Eric O and his FIL who happened to be in town. We had escargot, raw oysters, and probably the best crab cakes I've ever had. Then Tuesday night I flew solo and had Lebanese food which was awesome.
* In the end, Baltimore isn't great but I got to spend a lot of time with Andy which makes it better. Unfortunately she was not able to join us for meals because like most work conferences, they don't allow you to actually enjoy the city you're in and feed you mediocre fare instead. We did get geocaches in both Delaware and Maryland.
Question
Do I boot the tire (well I already did) with a granola bar wrapper and hope for the best, boot it properly, or just scrap the tire and buy a new one?
Tea
* My tea supply is now gone. For obvious reasons, I will not be going back to Taiwan semi-regularly to buy tea in bulk. So now I need to find an online source to get it in bulk.
* Taiwanese tea is not cheap. Of course, we really paid through the nose since we had to buy plane tickets and such...
* You don't make good green nor Oolong tea at a semi-boil. Only black. Well, Oolong you can if you're doing it gongfu style. But that's not every-day material. Maybe someday you can come over and have some.
* I did find a Taiwan-based tea seller and bought something from them. Hopefully it's decent.
* My BIL's in-laws used to live across the street from some amazing tea in Taiwan. I asked several times if we could ask my BIL to send us some but the answer was always no. I wasn't even allowed to ask. This is the guy I carried butter across the world for. For real.
Other Stuff
* Jake never kissed me
* I'm going to New Orleans next
* Mooch Madness is going to be a ST elimination tournament. It's going to be GD awesome.
* Jake wants to take me for beers at Stone Street.
* I had hummus at the Lebanese place which was really good. I make my own hummus which Andy likes but I think this is better. I should have kidnapped the chef.
* Mandi liked my pic on FB. She's part Lebanese right?
* Eric & I designed the perfect wheel to use for travelling. It assembles itself while you sleep the first night you get there, has a stronger tensile strength than steel, and allows you to introduce new bugs and/or insects in another part of the world. We will be wealthy once we figure out the details of this.
* I learned a little bit about genetics on this trip. I have never taken a biology course in my life. Ever.

You already dropped 38 bones on tubes...get a new tire.
FWIW, I once did the cliff bar wrapper thing on a half inch gash. That fix worked for 2 months until I replaced the tire.

Incredibly profound yet fantastically flawed
Best MacGyver boot is duct tape. I always carry a folded up piece of duct tape (think I have it folded about four times or so.) A year or so ago, I met a bunch of MTBNJ folks at Middle Run for a ride, and just before everyone was set to start I noticed my tire had a sidewall rip (yeah, I still run tubes on the Misfit). I deflated it, inserted the duct tape boot and then forgot about it for another two weeks of riding before I ordered another tire. Probably put a couple hundred miles in on the booted tire. Worked like a charm.
(Oh - one other option that works but is harder to shape properly is a sheet of Tyvek.)

Baltimore is good for BMX and skating, but no good for road or mtb. Baltimore was the city we would go to growing up as it was about 45 min. 95% of the city is just a dump and is the first place I learned not to go to the gas stations where the attendant sites behind bullet proof class with a tiny hole for you to throw money in (pre everything credit-card). Like I said, I was bike jacked there at gun point on a completely crowded street with a police car with it's lights on a half block away in an unassuming area other than my friend and I were the only white people on that street.
We went to the Inner Harbor once. Mapquest took us through the 'hood, which was pretty bad, like naked toddlers walking down the middle of the street, no adults in sight bad. The Harbor area was ok for maybe a day trip but the rest of the city is just varying degrees of concrete steps.
Buddy of mine did a sailing thing that ended there. He refused to dock; anchored offshore figuring it'd be easier to repel boarders.😀
Food looks good though.
