So, as it turns out the guy I had changing the chain and sprockets cut the chain too short so we couldn't put it on last night. He had to go and buy me a new chain ($130) to replace it and will install it tonight. Whew!

Yeah, but I'd just bought the chain myself. he's merely replacing what he broke which is very nice of him, actually. He could have walked away and left me hanging.

Dude u need some 800 grit wet sand paper an clean up that disk! I see some heat scouring, that can effect the pad life.

Yeah! Judging from the pic, you've been doing some heavy riding. The pads look like they are cutting into the disc unevenly. This in turn causes brake fade because it can't dissipate the heat evenly. if you have a defined ridge on the outer portion of the disc. This could cause heat fading, possibly brake chatter, an uneven ware on the pads.

But that's the rear brake disc and the rear brake is for sissies.

Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea?

Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea? I didn't. In the United States and most western countries, Fido is a family companion and while it's not ethical to judge another culture by our standards, anyone who doesn't at least (humanely) butcher the animal first is acting without proper care. South Korea relies on western consumerism for their economy and needs to be aware that we do not accept the practice of skinning and boiling dogs alive. Originally shared by April Benney Over 6,000 restaurants in South Korea are still serving dog meat even though it is now illegal. In many Asian countries dogs are boiled alive or skinned alive when slaughtered. It's an unbelievably horrendous & torturous way to die. I know a lot of you hate seeing this kind of posts on G+, but the Asian industry slaughtering dogs & cats is how I first got involved in animal rights & it will always be my main animal welfare concern. It's intolerable what is happen...

I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

After counting the votes for our Profile Picture contest we had a tie. For the first time in years, two photos had an even number of votes: This one: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+TinaSashWalker/posts/KCNmnniYMNb at 14. And this one: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+MikeValknWing/posts/CsWNucdb8JQ also at 14. Since the moderation staff couldn't decide which photo was better, I had no choice but to default to section 6 of the contest rules: 6] Ties will be decided by the moderation staff and if we can't decide, well, I'll use a picture of my feet. Yes, I have pictures of my feet. You're welcome. Photo: me and Steve Johnson
