A Gimp's Guide to the 801: September 2008
http://bratmadley.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
A Gimp's Guide to the 801. Tuesday, September 30, 2008. Mercury in retrograde and karma. First, however, some background:. Recently my friend was expressing great concern about the upcoming movement of mercury into retrograde. I decided to find out more about it, so i asked her. She promptly emailed me this description:. Or beyond to plan your actions or shopping. Mercury in retrograde sounds like a time for the feminine (re: subjective) to come out and play. Anyway, this is all to say, maybe there is so...

A Gimp's Guide to the 801. Sunday, January 6, 2008. Tuesday, January 1, 2008. My "drastic measures" worked. I finished! Here it is in all 245 pages of glory. I like to just look at the stack of papers. Still have to defend and make revisions after i meet with my committee, but, mmmh, it feels good to be done. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

A Gimp's Guide to the 801: More than i can chew
http://bratmadley.blogspot.com/2011/10/more-than-i-can-chew.html
A Gimp's Guide to the 801. Thursday, October 20, 2011. More than i can chew. The 3rd race up at Ft. Buenaventura proved to be my best performance so far, as i came in 3rd from last (not counting a couple of guys who dropped out). Yes, i was able to hold off an attack from skibikejunkie. On the last lap when he dropped his chain on some bumps around a tight corner and hold onto 3rd to last place (we had also passed stupidbike Bob who was doing his second race of the day, went out strong, then faded).

A Gimp's Guide to the 801. Sunday, February 22, 2009. Spring is in the air. This morning i also rode a bit with my "anonymous friend," who you may remember from a previous post. This weekend many dear, good friends also helped me celebrate my graduation. My nieces came to the party too. I love them a lot despite what this photo may convey. Many, many thanks to Cait and Marti for hosting and organizing the party. Thank you! Sunday, February 15, 2009. Saturday, February 7, 2009. I know, it's already Februa...

A Gimp's Guide to the 801: March 2009
http://bratmadley.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
A Gimp's Guide to the 801. Sunday, March 29, 2009. Over the hill (or at least celebrating at the top)! Ms KD-Did had a birthday this week. I won't say how old she is, but i will say to symbolically and ceremoniously celebrate a few of us hiked to the "top of the hill" with the birthday girl (i think the only place to go now is over and down). One thing i've learned about KD-Did over the years, is you don't mess with her food. She gets just a tiny bit, shall we say defensive and violent,. Rode my bike a l...

A Gimp's Guide to the 801: December 2007
http://bratmadley.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
A Gimp's Guide to the 801. Friday, December 21, 2007. Clean, now some drastic measures. Seth was making fun of me today because i don't have my dissertation done. How can a guy who can barely write a full sentence say anything about how long it's taking me to finish. I mean, seth can't even spell, which raises a question i have been meaning to ask him: just what is a "disunctional brother"? Do you even know what unction means? Thursday, December 20, 2007. 2 love poems (kind of). Could not be, but so much...

A Gimp's Guide to the 801. Sunday, September 2, 2007. In march and april you then have to start your seeds inside. It takes a good amount of time to plant and label all the seeds. you then must daily check to ensure that the seeds have enough moisture and are at the appropriate tempurature. Then starting around mid july until the first hard frost of october it's time to harvest. These are the delights of home gardening that make it all worth it: aunt ruby's green tomatos, annaheim chiles, thai hot ch...

A Gimp's Guide to the 801. Friday, August 31, 2007. To ride or write? Wednesday, August 22, 2007. After two years of finding more reasons not to write than to write i have quite a bit of experience procrastinating and finding excuses to avoid working on my dissertation. I want to share this wealth of information with others struggling to get their dissertations done, or more accurately, those looking for ways to avoid writing. Oh, how the truth smarts. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I ride more than i write.

A Gimp's Guide to the 801: What, we're going home already?
http://bratmadley.blogspot.com/2011/10/what-were-going-home-already.html
A Gimp's Guide to the 801. Friday, October 14, 2011. What, we're going home already? This post is long overdue, and since we're already three weeks into CX season, i figured i better get my Paracycling Worlds update done before too much longer. So first, just let me say, Worlds was a great experience. I didn't place as well as i hoped, but had a great time racing with Sam. Allison Jones, Me, Sam Kavanagh, and Jon Copsey. I kept thinking, "we're going home now? I just started racing? But unfortunately the...
