Finally got round to sorting my fucked BB and rebuilt my fixed yesterday. Out on it for the first time in at least a couple of years.
Slight nervousness about not forgetting to pedal was exacerbated by my having not had the correct size allen key to tighten the cranks. Thought it would be fine but that was an error. Just made it to BC before the NDS came off completely where JimBilly provided a tool. Which is what I felt like.

This morning I took one of my fixed bikes for the first time in forever. I gave it a once over last night but the chain was getting slowly slacker and slacker. I thought to myself "I need to look at that" just before a simple speed bump shipped the chain from both the chainring and cog. Fuck knows how that didn't up locking up the drive train and throwing me to the asphalt into a crumpled heap of anger and regret. I simply coasted to stop. I should fucking know better. Teh Fixie Godz are getting a goat sacrifice from me on my lunch break.
tl:dr; listen some of the those voices in your head when your bike feels fucked
