This right here is a $295 spoke tensiometer. This $295 device is the most accurate way to make sure your bicycle wheel is built with even tension throughout all of the spokes. It’s only $295. You can buy me one here. It comes with a spare battery.

End of Year Wrap Up
Hey friends! I wanted to wish you all a wonderful New Year’s Eve-ning and also thank you for visiting this blog so much this year. I gained a lot of followers this year and I hope the trend continues. Last year I got a huge traffic spike due to thedailywh.at posting/linking to the Hatchet Key Hook post. This year, the same post made it to the front page of Reddit, which was pretty cool too. Maybe in 2012 I will find something new to bring the folks in.
I’ve certainly noticed that the last year of the blog has taken a very different direction than years past. Lots of pictures, especially food and bicycles. I hope you guys are cool with that, because it probably won’t stop anytime soon. Ashlinn says I need to write more, which I agree with, but it may not be strictly blog posts. I hope to be writing more in many ways, and I’ll be sure to share as much as I can with you all. I’ve even contemplated bringing back FrURLsday, but since leaving my M-F job, I rarely know what day it is until I realize there is a new XKCD comic.
Overall, expect to see more things that you would deem “Adam Belanger-y” and hopefully they will bring a smile to your face or strike fear into your heart. One or the other. Or neither. It could just end up being a bunch of bullshit.
Dinner
Celery Generals
While on North Haven, Bagwell made us play his modified version of Celery Generals. In his version, each person constructs a few men made of celery then hides them around the house. If somebody knocks over or destroys your celery general, they have to eat it.
The final celery general.
Gross
There was part of a belt in the urinal, so I peed on it.
BUILD THIS NOW!
Greasy Father
It turns out there are no bicycle shops in western Maine that stock hub grease. This became an issue when I went to overhaul the front and rear hubs and the headset on the Puch. As usual, there’s a solution in Dad’s garage, but it ain’t pretty.
I suppose it’s close enough to what I would have bought at a bike shop, but the color is going to be very misleading when I open it up to inspect for dirt later.
This Changes Everything!
Last night my mind was blown when Bagwell showed me that some mason jars will fit his blender. Brilliant!
I still have no clue what “Wave-Action” is.
PRONE!
