It&#8217;s just now starting to get a little chilly, and I&#8217;m talking about 2013). In case you actually are, the only update I can give you is that yesterday, I got news that almost makes me want to get my hopes up. However, I&#8217;ve made that mistake in the past, so for now, I&#8217;m just going to talk about pets and stuff.<\/p>\n<p>For all of my roadie friends who read, keep watching in the next couple of weeks. I&#8217;m getting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cannondale.com\/2013\/bikes\/women-s\/elite-road\/supersix-evo\/super-six-evo-hm-wmn-s-red\" target=\"_blank\">one of these<\/a>. I actually ordered it back in August, but it won&#8217;t ship from Cannondale until the 8th. The first order of business? Take the super-pimp one-piece spider\/chainring set off of the Hollowgram crank and install this (with a set of Rotor chainrings, which are also on order):<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/IMG_20121006_073952.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4824\" title=\"IMG_20121006_073952\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/IMG_20121006_073952-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/IMG_20121006_073952-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/IMG_20121006_073952.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Of course, I&#8217;ve been super excited about getting it. Yesterday, the excitement really hit home when I was working on a customer&#8217;s several-years-old carbon road bike and realized how the graphics and bigass carbon weave look a little dated. My BH Connect looks very much the same way. Don&#8217;t get me wrong- I love that bike. We&#8217;ve done a lot of ass-kicking together, and it really is an awesome bike- it&#8217;s super stiff, and the fit is perfect. I can only imagine that getting a new bike will be much like a police officer getting a new partner when his old one retires. If it&#8217;s anything like my Cannondale SuperX, I won&#8217;t be disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>In less exciting news, my &#8220;no wheat&#8221; experiment is going well. I can&#8217;t say that I notice any difference in overall health or wellness, but it has removed a source of high-density calories from my diet, so I&#8217;ve lost a small amount of weight (consistently 1\/2 a pound of morning weight lower than before I started). I made wheat-free chicken nuggets the other night by taking gluten-free pretzels and crushing them in the food processor before seasoning them, dipping them in egg, then rolling them around in the pretzels. I baked them for 15 minutes, but I&#8217;m guessing you could pan-fry them instead if you&#8217;re so inclined. They were pretty delicious baked.<\/p>\n<p>And, because everyone loves animal photos, here are some of\u00a0 Indy and Thor kitty. Thor is the most awkward sleeper, ever.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/IMG_20120925_161738.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4828\" title=\"IMG_20120925_161738\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/IMG_20120925_161738-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/IMG_20120925_161738-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/IMG_20120925_161738.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/IMG_20120831_203017.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4827\" title=\"IMG_20120831_203017\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/IMG_20120831_203017-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/IMG_20120831_203017-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/IMG_20120831_203017.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/IMG_20120701_194010.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4826\" title=\"IMG_20120701_194010\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/IMG_20120701_194010-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/IMG_20120701_194010-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/IMG_20120701_194010.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/IMG_20120502_071021.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4825\" title=\"IMG_20120502_071021\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/IMG_20120502_071021-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/IMG_20120502_071021-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/IMG_20120502_071021.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know that everyone is waiting and watching my blog every single day for news about what&#8217;s up &amp; coming for 2013 (jeez, 2013?
