That should be on their logo.

It was a long day of drinking so I was glad to see Mike sign on this morning. He still had a long drive after dropping us off and Bryan was passed out at that point. Adrian is late for breakfast and missing our drug dealer friend trolling the lobby in the same sweet Puma track suit and gold cross he was sporting yesterday.

One last note, Adrian has just about as much game as Colin. I was tempted to leave the table after he hiccuped his way through a pick up line to the one girl that had shown up at our table all night (to give us water, but she was a girl). We never saw her again that night.

No, we did not get the $900 bottle service. If the mini skirt hostess was the bottle girl instead of our goofy mumbling waiter, it might have happened. We started out at the new HC Lunch Spot, Big Star. A sample of their food, the Walking Taco Big Star seems like a must see during the summer in Chicago. Then we will have the option to chase down the doughnut truck for dessert. We then walked back to the car to drive less than a mile to the next spot, The Map Room. A nice place that was a little dead early in the afternoon which made everything a bit more relaxed than this place typically is for the HC crew. We headed to The Local Option next and Adrian started another water review. Mike reading his review to decide which water he would be enjoying today. While Bryan ignored the water nonsense and reviewed the menu as we have decided to go Colin style and have Lunch No. 2. Next we went back in time at Barrelhouse Flats. And had cocktails that would have made Baker proud. And Lunch No.3 or Dinner No.1 of some green slimy balls that smelled like ass and some Poutine. All that was left was the trip home and the cursing at cab drivers and dinner No.2 for Adrian and I at the Outback Steakhouse at our crappy hotel. Really had a great time and I am grateful the HC Chicago crew showed up to make it an awesome day.

Happy Birthday Steve.

Where?

Adrian needs a hiccup cure. Motherfucker has been hiccuping for an hour and it makes me want to hit him in the head.

Happy Birthday

Remember the Maine

Jim why are you not here?

These motherfuckers ordered Brussels sprouts, in a bar. Whole place smells like ass now.

Yes. The 110 also gets you the meals etc. during the weekend.

Thanks. Chicago has been awesome this week. One of my favorite cities.

Got bored last night wandering around Chicago so I decided to pick up a point and shoot and do some photography. So many great things to shoot in Chicago.

I have two washers on mine. The reason the first pod broke was because it did not clear the arm so tightening it snapped it. I assume you would have plenty of clearance. We also set torque on the low end of the Nm scale they give. Will your shop take a pod from a spare kit for you? That is how I got mine so fast. Evidently 2 weeks for a pod from Garmin.

Have a great one Jim.

Yeah I can tell the pedals are right because of those dots where I was 100% on the right foot. I start off from a stop mashing with the right while I fight to clip in. I am right handed, left eye dominant and left leg evidently. I know back in the day when I skateboarded I always pushed with the left foot as well.
