I Swear It Was An Accident Doc!
Not mucho going down today bike wise, or maybe I should say "ride wise" since there is ALWAYS something bik going down. Today I finished laying out 98% of a damn cool article for XXC 2.1, tied up some other bizness related things, and worked on the bike a bit.
Needed to clean up the Mamasita a bit, and do some bar end adjusting. As I'm leveling the bar ends etc., I squat down, and came WAYYYYY to close to having a handle of a floor pump penetrate RIGHT through my "fat pants" and up the ol' pooper. I can just IMAGINE going to the Doc about THAT. "I swear it was an accident!! That's bike grease on it, I SWEAR!!!"
Speaking of floor pumps.... my fave floor pump (not the one that almost cleaned out my colon, but my Topeak JoeBlow PRO, seems to have shit the bed. It still pumps air, but the PSI gauge seems to have died. Anyone ever have any issues like that? Not sure what the deal-i-oh is. Any info would be appreciated. The whole reason I dig the Topeak JB is because I of the easy to read and accurate enough gauge. Now I have to go with freaking "hand feel!!" WTF? It's like a million dollar pump. OK, that's a lie, but it is pricey for a pump.
Gotta split.. I need some "me time."
Later.

Yep, my Joe Blow Pro's gauge ceased to function at the tender age of four years. Haven't called the Topeak folks yet, though, since they seem to shutdown early.
Just get a little digital slime pressure checker. They're like $8 and work better than the gauge on a pump. And it sits flat, so I think there's very little chance of getting it lodged somewhere you don't want it.
