I have a bike! It is a wonderful bike that I like to ride! :)
But it is winter, and cold, and snowy, and icy. And I like to not fall into snowdrifts or get hit by cars and die, so I don’t ride my bike outside in winter. :(
But I found a nice fluid trainer on ridiculous sale and bought it for less than I could even have gotten a cheap mag trainer for, so I could ride my bike inside in the winter and get bike time in on my own bike instead of a crappy exercise bike! :D
But then I realized my rear tire was low, and because I knew underinflated tires heat up and get damaged, and I didn’t want to damage my shiny new tires, I decided that the right thing to do was to air up my tires. :)
So I hooked up my floor pump to my front tire and aired it all the way up to 115 psi just like it said on the tire sidewall! :D
And then I hooked up my floor pump to the rear tire and got partway through and checked it with the pressure gauge and it was only at 50 psi so I hooked the pump back up and kept going and going and going and then I thought surely I would be over a hundred psi by now and went to use the pressure gauge again except the floor pump would not let go! :o
And I tried and I tried and I tried but it would not let go of my poor tire valve! :(
And I tugged and I pulled and I joggled and I twisted and I wedged my fingers in and pushed but it would not let go! D:
And finally I pushed really really hard and it let go a little bit and then it came off all the way but it was accompanied by the hiss of escaping air. :(
And I realized that it had damaged the part where the valve is connected to the tube. :(
And then my poor tire went completely flat and I couldn’t ride it, on my trainer or anywhere. :<
But then I walked to the store and bought new inner tubes so I could replace that one and have a spare! :)
But then I got halfway home and realized I forgot to buy new tire levers to replace the old ones I couldn’t find. And I got home and stared at my new inner tube and my flat tire and sulked. :X
But then I got new tire levers and they are zomg the best ever tire levers and I got the tire off with no effort, removed the leaky old tube, replaced it with a nice non-leaky new tube, got the tire right back on with no effort and felt very smart! :D
Then I realized I had to inflate the tube to 115 psi with nothing but a little road pump. :/
But I got it reinflated enough to put back on the bike, and felt very, very badass! BD
And then I managed to figure out how to get the chain back on the cassette and get the wheel back on and back on the trainer and I rode my bike for a few minutes and it was a total success, yay! :D

(No, I don’t know what happened in this blog post. I started out writing short, choppy, silly sentences and ending with smileys, and then things got kind of out of control, YAY! :D )
