:: Long Weekend

Today was Saturday. I fixed my broken bike chain, finally got my dart board up, and visited shark. They are doing well. Rode moto for a good haul too.I broke my chain riding in to work on Thursday. Also I don't like capitalizing days of the week, but spell check and it's red line are too strong for me. Anyway, this is my old chain I thought to make a necklace.I devise this clasp system.It worked well.However I found out I hate necklaces. I should have known this. I don't really even like shirts let alone a metal pinchy chain around my neck. So I made some bracelets.My new clasp system.Matching left.
A good beer and a good evening. I'm not riding my regular bike enough. So I am going to fix that.

:: Rider

Oh yeah. The excitement is wicked. It just didn't feel right riding the moto before the road test for some reason. I wasn't proven.

It was soooo easy. Which rocked. Now I can go anywhere in Canada. Anytime. And I have gotten most of my gear as well. Helmet, boots, gloves, and a coat. Therefore, I am now accepting liquid asset donations and willing to cash in any possible birthday advances. This doesn't just go for you, people-I-know. Anyone who accidentally may read this is free to contact me and gimme some moneys.
Oh yeah. When I first bought these me and E had talked about a way to modify them to make them less stiff around the upper ankle. According to Wally the salesperson this was a redeeming quality and these "shorties" do an exceptional job of it to boot.... no pun intended.After now using these guys for a while I see why the stiffness is a good thing. It makes braking and shifting much more responsive. Also my stance while standing still is easier. Bonus! No mods required. (I also tie them not too-too tight).The body armor. Bikes are not made for tall people and neither are most leather coats.So I have to get a textile jacket as it is the most practical and fits me the best. You can see my Storm Trooper gloves in the pic as well. They would knock-you-the-fuck out.


New news. Newer. Newest. Up to now. Fresh history..... yesterday... I got to go to the mountains. :] $10,000+ job in Radium Hot springs. This turns out to be in BC. We saw a bear! No pics :[ It was a rainy drive in the morning.The land will eat you.Pictures were limited as I found out my battery only had so much juice left. Bear with me..heheheh that's a bear joke! I wish I had a pic to capitalize :[This is the town itself. Those houses are asking to be pushed over the ridge.And the so called hot springs have turned into one of the least appealing things. An outdoor public pool. I was hoping for a natural rock-like hot tub. If wishes were horses.
This was my accomplice. We've been partnered up for a while. He's a good person. Here's another pic of him. This picture describes how he looks, thinks, dances, and how strong he is.Hard to take a picture of the nice pool while moving 100kph and leaning out a window. I just kept takin' em.Almost.Gotcha! Yes, this is at speed with a digi cam with dying batteries and jamming to house music. Respect.

Some teriyaki chicken avec garlic-rice-broccoli. Chillian Santa Digna rose to drink. I've figured out chicken thighs with the bone still in which helps me save lots of money and the flavour is really coming together.This is how a salad should be. Pot sized. This includes a bunch of green leaf, a whole red pepper, a crown of broccoli, 2 carrots, 2 stalks of green onion, 2 celery stalks, 1/4 english cucumber, one green apple, cracked black, and balsamic and extra virg, to taste. I ate it all. The side dish was a 12oz(min) t-bone steak smothered in hp sauce, eaten by hand. mmmmmmmmmmmmm.... I want it right now again.


Skycapes ::Just two quickies. The skies have been alive for many days now.That fucking tree.



After many attempts blogger finally allowed me to upload pictures. So it's a bit of a stack.

I don't feel like talking more right now so just keep in mind I like and want money to buy camping gear for my bike.

:: Whether or not

Do you check the weather? Much better to just walk outside check it and be prepared.

Sometimes it means carrying thing you don't need. Which makes you stronger.

Sometimes it means being the only one who isn't mad it's raining... "They said it would be clear...." :] hahahahaaaaa...

If it doesn't hurt, it's not hard.

Ride hard.

:: Sunday

It is magnificent out today. Yesterday was beautiful too. And last night was very very fun.I'm letting e know how I feel about his word that lands me 6 shots of wine. Fucking triple word score.The resulting mess.

E has been visiting since Monday and it's been great. Last night we finally got to play some drinking scrabble again. Such a fun game but e is too smart. Especially with language and words. I'm still the king of the three letter dagger and collecting multiple double letters and even triples, though.

This evening I filled in for my roommate in his work softball beer league. I did well enough. I got to be first base which I really enjoy. I'm a nice bit target and don't have to worry about all the ground balls of third or shortstop. At bat I did fairly well. Got a triple.

Double thanks to the folks who are inspiring me to actually start working out. I had a really rough two weeks of work and topped it off by having a 1/8" metal bit break while I was drilling and the jagged remainder rip up a small section of my right thumb. Quiet annoying. My thumb swelled up and I couldn't use it all week. I really tried to baby it and it's paid off. It was a bad cut as the skin couldn't heal well because it was chewed up and ripped out but with extreme caution it has closed up and is at 75%, no infection. yey! And back to working out I have renewed excitement now to get healthy and strong and make generally better decisions.

I'll leave things at that for now with a note that I go for my full moto test next Sunday. Think of me from 12:30-1:00pm.
E randomly spots me coming home from work and manages a few snapshots.

:: Sunday

Always finds me down. Every Sunday for weeks now I can feel the fall before it happens. My mood just plummets. I know it's happening and can head it off a bit but it always hits. All week I follow routines and use methods to enjoy or deal with the days, depending on how work goes. By Friday I'm totally scrambled and to ground myself I usually drink enough to, well, ground myself. A floor that stays still in a room that doesn't spin is a friend of mine.

Saturday is easy as my mood is determined by how Friday went. Did I drink too much or was I good. Did I have good chit-chat, act a fool, or hate it all quietly. Was I as entertaining as I could have been to people who don't really know me. Was I better than I thought. I go over what conversations I can remember. Most usually. Either way I wait until I am able and go to Quiznos to heal. Usually grab a bottle or two to sip on while playing games and watching sports in the evening.

And then Sunday. Ive had rest. I've had a night to mingle and a night to stay in. Now a whole day to do anything and it's too much. It's the only day I feel alone (and don't enjoy it). I've done what I needed all week and what I wanted Fri and Sat. I'm done. It's over. I have no reason for anything.

The good part of this day is when I finally think of the world and my life with uncertainty. It is at least a change from the week. And this leads to new thoughts. Usually negative but eventually its comes back up to acceptable hope. Wine or weed act as a catalyst and music the active ingredient. btw I need a large influx of music. My well can only be re-filtered so much.

One-of-Seven days. I can handle it. I'm soon probably going to force myself once it's reasonable to start maybe exercising and working out... for real. On a steady basis. I am getting real down on myself for not doing it so far. How do you get the inspiration and fit it into a schedule? Whenever I feel like working out it's a bad time. When I have time I can usually only muster a bike ride. Even a big ride but to sit in a gym alone and push myself, well, I just don't have it in me. Suggestions?
