commuting to work today :
riding into downtown on Milwaukee near Hubbard
feel something hit my leg (ignore it)
at the Jewel I apply the brakes - yikes -- no rear brake
look back and the pad fell off
go back and retrieve it (and the bollt) in the street
put my bike on the bus stop bench to re-attach it
being too lazy to fish my multi-tool out of my bag, I ask a fellow
commuter if he has an allen wrench. "Sure" he says.
as he takes stuff out of his bag - he has a zip loc bag of yummy looking red peppers
we talk about peppers and I tell him about chainlink (gave him two bookmarks)
and tonight's bar night
repair done : he gave me a pepper ! life is good (he offered the entire bag).
