Sunday night/Monday morning I was on doggie stomach/butt duty. Maggie had some "issues" we'll call them (and you'd thank me for calling it that if you actually knew what was going on over here), so I wasn't able to write anything since I was watching and readying for an emergency vet visit. Thankfully things rectified themselves... yeah, I said rect-ified.
Anyway, I'm not sure what the cause was for the stomach/butt action that was going on - but I have a feeling it might have to do with my new wheels... let me explain.
I came home from work on Friday and spotted something on the front porch.

I approve the hiding job of the delivery guy - using the "stone" bench for cover, nice! |
I couldn't be 100% sure what it was... maybe Annie had ordered some hats?

Nope, it's them! |
I brought the wonderful boxes inside and got right into them. I found some glorious things... and then brought them right back outside.

They look even better dressed and ready to roll! |
I carefully put sealant in - didn't want any globby stains on the beautiful rims - and the tires set up with a floor pump. It was magnificent*. I have my brakes and headset on the way, and with the arrival of those items I should be able to get the build pretty much done - or at least looking like a bike. It all came down to getting the wheels in to "get me rolling" on the build. OOOOOOHHHH hohoho I said it. Wheels... getting me rolling...
yup.
So, how could my wheels be implicated in doggie stomach/butt issues?? Well, not the wheels themselves, but the sealant. Some spilled in the grass outside the garage as I was measuring it out and I have to wonder if Maggie ingested some - I think that would certainly do the trick in messing up a system. I'm not sure what it was really, but she never acted like anything was wrong - other then going outside pretty frequently.

Using pillows like people. |

I actually only attempted to set the tires up with the floor pump because on first glance it looked as though the valves did not have removable cores - my air compressor doesn't have a proper bike attachment so I normally just blast air through the open core to set the tires... I must have missed the removable core because they were just so shiny and new I didn't want to mess with them, but upon second inspection they sure do have removable cores.
