Making, baking, and (un-)breaking things in Southeast Michigan.

I really like Lebanese food and when I couldn’t decide what to have for dinner (I didn’t want leftovers again) I decided to go get some falafel, hummus, and garlic. It tasted really good, but it just didn’t hit the spot while sick.
That said, Lebanese Grill between Costco and Hall Road in Shelby Township is pretty darn good. I’m glad to have that place close by, because it means that I can get good Lebanese food pretty much whenever I want it.

Now to find some dinner. Last night was some nice Thai curry, but as I also had that for lunch, three meals of it in a row is a bit off putting. Pizza is tempting, but unhealthy. Someone come make me soup? And bring a movie?
Leave a CommentWith a few minutes to spare I pulled apart the rear hub on my bike and put it back together. Why, you ask? Well, as I was checking things over before Massive Fallout I noticed a gentle rolling/rattling sound coming from the rear hub. This got me realizing that I must have knocked a bearing out of a race when reassembling the hub the last time, not noticed it, and had it rolling around inside the hub body.
Being a bearing shy isn’t a horrible thing, but I did want to get it sorted out as quickly as possible, especially as I’d put 100-200 miles on the bike since noticing the bearing. Having a full set of cone wrenches (three dual-sized ones, doing the 13mm-18mm range) and a bench vise makes this job trivial.
Also, my lower GI has now realized that the rest of me is sick and begun following suit. Fun.
Leave a CommentBeing sick I decided it’d be best to stay home and work from here today. I normally don’t take time off work for being sick, but I’m feeling spinny, didn’t sleep well, and I’m having difficulties talking. Sitting at work today would just be awful, and I’d probably be making other people sick.
On the upside, I’m sitting here looking out the window as a gentle autumn storm is starting to roll through, removing leaves from trees. It won’t be very long until wanders in the woods are through tall, thick gray sticks over soft, decaying leaves. This will be nice.
