Gonna go check out Guster Friday by myself, which I'm actually looking forward to. It'll be nice not to have to worry about anyone else for a little bit. Just bought a bed from Crate & Barrell and a fine new suit for Ol' Unemployable's wedding. Decent day.

Oh and...

I change my mind. "I'm glad it was him and not me" is now my answer.

I just went out to the Triumph dealership to check on a classmate's bike that's being repaired ($1200, ouch), and while I was there I decided to take that cafe racer bike back out again. This time a mechanic went with me on another bike. So we did a big loop out and around. Coming back through the countryside, we came around a bend at about 70, right past the entrance to a quarry. There were 4 rather large rocks in the road (softball-ish sized and up). I saw all four coming, had plenty of time, and cut a line to the right with no problem. But he took the care to point one out near me with his toe (extremely courteous thing to do), and in the process missed the fact that he was heading right for the largest one.

He didn't even have time to hit his brakes. His front wheel hit a rock the size of a Subway sandwich (I went back and cleared the road, got a look at all 4) that was pretty well the same color as the road. That launched his front wheel about a foot off the ground (at abt 60mph now). Then his back tire hit it too, but just barely, which sent his ass end up into the air at a slight angle. When both tires came back down he wasn't pointed straight, and began doing a bucking bronco routine (which we in the trade call a "tank slapper" since the handle bars twist full-left, full-right, rapidly back and forth, "bangbangbangbang") at about 60mph. Dude rode it out, even with a flat front tire, by standing on the pegs, holding the bars loosely, and using only the rear brake, all with maybe a tenth of a second to think about it. All I could do was watch from about 10 feet back, thinking "he's gonna land haaaard, and there isn't shit I can do to help him" but he didn't. He got it pulled over to the left shoulder. I went back and cleared the road, he called the shop for a truck and trailer. Damn near shit my pants.

Damage:
- 1 flat front tire, one scuffed/damaged rear ... $350
- 2 bent wheels... $700
- One damaged front brake caliper (from where the bent front rim hit it rotating)... $450ish

Solving a problem in excel that sorta can't be solved that way, I think. Nobody had tried it yet, I took it as a challenge, put 6 hours on it last night during elections, till 2. Came in this morning, and I think I got it. It's not linear, so Solver has a hard time with it, but I can't break the solution it came up with yet... can't better it.

One of those "a farmer has 120 acres, can grow wheat or corn, can buy wheat or corn too, or can sell what he grows.

My undergrad major was a 50/50 split of IT and this stuff. I enjoyed the optimization class more than I should have.

I haven't seen Guster in years. Always a fun show.
