still in victoria, and some friends and i are going on a 'find a coffee dumpster or bust' adventure tonight. we've finagled a vehicle and locked n loaded every roaster in town. we might be driving around for hours to no avail, but gosh what an epic victory that would be for the working class.
theres a coffee dump in minneaplolis whose secret is guarded like the golden fleece so it doesn't get blown up.
a new fork and stem were successfully installed and are currrently operational. thanks luke.
maybe to returning to vancouver a couple days before larissa to get started with the five cockrings of death. yes folks, its the olympics.

i'm in victoria and its so nice and warm here. we went camping over the weekend and had a fire on the beach and i went swimming. which isnt really like swiming. more like floundering momentarilly in wicked cold water and runing back to the fire we had on the beach. the forests on the north shore of the island are like a docter seus forest, with lots of wonky oold growth douglas firs. so dank and pretty. pretty moist.

i was borrowing a bike from a friend thats here and a car in an intersection was about to run me down real slow motion like. i was able to jump off the bike and get out of the way of the car, but the front fork got all mangled in the collision . so i reported it to insurence after getting the niceguys info. they arebuying my friend a new used bike, which is great. but i'm taking in the old bike to a for profit but cool bike shop that will let me use their tools for a few bucks and am going to try and fix it up. headsets are funny! its an old bike so i'm hoping it wont turn into an avelanch of 40 tiny ball bearings rolling everywhere.
