He's the cutest and sweetest. He mainly likes to perch on your shoulders, nuzzle his face under your ear or hair. This manouvre he must redo often, which makes it sweeter. He also climbs onto you and sleeps in your hoodie pocket, tail-out. Trilling noises. He has my heart, but alas, will be crowing all the time soon. His special chicken breed is Self-Blue Old English.

Today I get to go to Cascade Surplus Electronics in Gresham. Sounds bad for one big reason (greeesh) but I have been ordering from this place since living in Tivoli. Full circle. They have the bomber deals on DPDT stomp switches.

I am seriously considering building a new bike. I found a fancy handmade steel frame on Craigslist. I think it could really be a near-zero investment, selling my old (3 yrs young) bike. The builder is Hujsak (built the bike that broke the bike speed record(+153 mph drafting a race car)), and his new frames are like $1,200+, this dude wants 250. Seems real. Seems weird. Money is the weirdest.
