I took a mental health day and went back to the mountain bike park yesterday. That was neat.

But moreso, apparently when on the bike rack on the back of my car, my mountain bike's front tire hung down near the exhaust. Throughout the whole drive at random times I thought I smelled rubber burning.

Seems one of the loose straps from the bike rack became entangled in the front wheel, causing it to stop spinning in the wind. And the exhaust MELTED THE TIRE OFF right there.

Weird.

I just couldn't believe it. I've hauled that bike all over creation and nary a problem. It was kinda funny because I kept thinking "That smells like rubber" *sees tractor trailer* "eh, he must have a retread about to go". Five miles later "There it is again".

Did my dumb ass think to get out and make sure it wasn't me? Nooooo


It was time for new meats anyway. And I'm glad it wasn't the BMX bike. Those tires are 60 bucks each.

we didnt even smell the rubber thanks to the ac compressor explosion ... too many senses were being involved ... we smelled the fluid that sprayed all over a tailgating asswipe, then it became sauna like, then came the smell of hot kiddie vomit

didnt even realize the bike tire issue until a day later after we drove down a rocky forestry road for 30 mins, parked and started unloading the bikes :L

That's because Cole knows we're playing the Bob Cole drinking game and he's giving us an opportunity to finish our drink with that long pause.

I was looking for the Eddie Murphy / Ron Howard / Opie Cunningham skit from SNL, but couldn't find it. This will do though.

"Regarding this performance, I liked it," grinned Putin at a joint news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. "I did not catch what they were shouting, I did not even see if they were blondes, brunettes or chestnut-haired ..."
