:: Winter

Winter finally showed up and in a hurry. I was riding one night after work in a T-shirt and had to be in full gear the next morning. It's been fun. It is kind of nice to go straight into winter from a late fall. I prefer ice and snow to cold rain anytime.
A dude sitting beside me took this as I slammed some drinks for my bday Friday after a long hard day. The drinks went down a little too easy. I had to leave early and cut my visit short. So it goes, I suppose.

:: Capturing Light Again

Trying out my new camera during a great ride Saturday morning. The first part of the ride had me downtown buying a new camera so I don't have any pics of that part.
And this is her. I didn't feel like setting up mirrors to get multiple angles so head on is all you get. Look her up if you're wondering more about the model. She's an upgrade on my last one and so far so good. I like it a lot.
Playing around with some features and showing you my shoe-pers at the same time. They're shoe slippers... shoe-pers. Or slooze, slipper shoes.
They're very comfortable and came free with shoes that were worn out. Best slippers I've owned. All it took was some time with the serrated blade on my multi-tool and a bit of pliers work to get rid of the small bits of plastic heal support.
A week ago I almost took a major spill on Jet but somehow managed to keep her upright. I did come away with a wicked sweet bruise that has since changed colours many times and spread out. The original hit was in the center of the light spot just right of the reddish area. It doesn't, and didn't at the time, hurt that much. Only when I poke it. I was riding a bit intoxicated and jumped up a curb onto newly laid very soft soil. I was moving pretty quick and almost completely stopped as her front end sunk right into the soft dirt. I think my knee hitting the headset pushed her free. Otherwise I'd have gone ass over teakettle onto sidewalk.

:: Folky & Roots-y

And slightly whimsical. (I laughed at that)

I've been out walking I don't do too much talking these days, these days.

These days I wear a winter coat, toque, goggles, and mitts on my ride in to work. On my way home in my tee I wonder why I wore pants and an undershirt while I carry a backpack loaded with garments.

These days I sit at home not watching TV drinking Lucky beer thinking how lucky I am to hear such tunes and not see such commercials. The good beer is for the weekend now. This will not be my first Lucky year and it doesn't bother one bit.

I've stopped my dreaming, I won't do too much scheming these days, these days.

These days I focus on work all week. Sure I have time to myself and use that time for video games and old movies, wicked kick-ass food and cjsw, but.... but nothing. It's awesome. I spend every night during the week alone not talking to anyone. I go all-week every evening in silence. shhhh...

These days I physically wrestle with myself to keep from going to the bars on the weekend. I have a goal and as per a friends advice via blog I have made a way of tracking my goal and a plan and reason for my small and big goals. This heart will not stop 'till zero twenty seven. zero27. 27nothing.

Oh, these days...

Please don't confront me with my failures, I have not forgotten them.
