New Arrivals

I got mine and she got hers. Hopefully mine will be a bit better behaved than hers.  Em got a new kitten.  I decided to call it Nuke as in “new kitty.”  Well it has turned out that Nuke is quite apropos because the damn cat is destroying everything and just well being a kitten I suppose. Damn thing is a pest.  I’ve removed her from my room using her tail as a handle to throw her by.  Tonight Em got home late and discovered that Nuke had knocked over a plant from the window sill.  This was after yesterday which we spent cleaning house. Sorry I don’t give a shit enough about the cat to post a picture.  Do a google image search for a kitten. I’m sure it looks just like the ball of terror we have here.

I on the other hand am sure made a much wiser decision.  My new arrival a) is all ready house trained b) doesn’t tear shit up (except asphalt hopefully when I’m on top c) in the long run will probably cost considerably less and d) will probably cause me a hell of a lot less headaches than the damn cat will.  Granted my initial outlay was $700 and there will be some more expenditures down the road, I believe they will decrease in time. Furball on the other hand I believe will only increase in maintenance over time.

My new black and white Quintana Roo.  QR is the state in Mexico where Cancun is located. Oh yeah the new furball is black and white as well.  About same proportion as the bike too.

So it looks to be a pretty sweet ride.  After hemming and hawing over it I figured I was stupid to buy the bike even thought the Litespeed slipped through my fingers.  It has a bike computer on it, pedals (yeah it has Look KEO and I have Shimano cleats right now :( ), and a ~$120 set of tires on it.  There was no way I would be able to build up the other frame for that little money.  Yippee.  I hit 21.5mph riding it home…in sandals.  I can’t wait to test it out.

The frame I *think* is carbon fiber. I’m not sure but it weighs a crap ton less than my 1998 Cannondale road bike!

    Looks like a sweet ride. And even lighter than your other bike, geez!

    Good luck coping with the kitty…

    You still need to build up the K2 as a road bike…..The time trial geometry is good only for riding solo, (the other guys you might be riding with will think you are a snob, and the bike will be very twitchy until you can drive in a straight line)
