The Return of Bucephalus

Finally got to ride this bike home from my shop today after getting hit on it last February. New forks, new stem, new bottom end, new front master cylinder, new front tire. It’s acting a little funny, running a little rough, but I’m not sure it’s got enough oil, and the gas in it is…

Dietary Supplements

Slow Carb Diet – Day 1

Slow Carb Diet

I’m about to start the Slow Carb Diet as described by Tim Ferris in his book The 4-Hour Body. I just need to order the bio-impedance scale and body measuring tape. And go to the grocery store. It seems like a pretty easy diet. It’s mostly about what not to eat rather than counting calories…
