enfermo

March 10th, 2008

Finally got sick. After thinking that I’d be back on the bike one more BAMboozle costing me more days of nothing on top of my slow motivation. There’s only three-ish weeks before I head off on a 10 day Yuri-ride/AZT300 effort and I haven’t ridden but twice in the last what?… five months. No problem.

and so it goes. The effects of the year have been evident since the hurried failure of Tucson so I can’t sweat not being back in a riding or skiing routine with all that has happened and that the fall-out is still finding the floor. I haven’t been up in the basin all winter and that only make for a less than spectacular use of all this good snow. I guess I’ll have to hold onto that dream until next winter unless something happens. I need the tele practice anyhow.

The weather has been strange over the last week or so here in the Northland. It’s been dry & cold. Sure, it’s March and I guess that’s a form of normal, but it still seems weird. I think there should be a couple more storms in the mix before the month is up, but that idea is fading by day.

In other news, the Shop is getting in shape day by day. We finally found all the tools, so we can now have 4 wrenches turning if needed although that isn’t quite what’s required yet. the display stages up front got painted only last week and the freshly painted floor is getting chipped and scratched already. I think that’s just the way it is. Shops always have a dinge of use and disfunction anyhow. We had a party - some sort of a grand opening gig - on Friday and the shop was packed. 3 kegs were cashed, the Shindaggers rocked the house, and Zack got his bottle of whiskey stolen. Poor guy. I can never dance like him. It was good to see all the peeps that I’ve not seen since…

Ya’ll have a good one.
