09:18 pm - Today was a good day...

I woke up with enough time to get the commuter ready for riding. Seeing as how I dont have a car any more, well, not "Anymore", but not for a while anyway. It will be a while before I have the money to rebuild the motor. So, she will sit until I get the mazda out of the garage, and begin the awakening.

So, I got the commuter going. Gonna be riding to work, just like Hoffman, just like Dan, just like the rest of the world of cycling commuters. For a long time, it was the only way I got around. I got to commute to work today, which was nice. The ride home was ok, except for my lights dying with a mile to go. Guess I'll have to dig up a charger or something. Code red and his pops were working late and as I was installing my zip tie/electrical tape mount for my $2 light, Pop noticed that nothing less than perfection is good enough for anybody else's bike, but I used tape and zipties on mine...you get what you pay for, and seeing as how I aint paying myself to install some doodad, Im taping it on. good enough.

Deb rented the "Bourne ultimatum" , I watched it last night, I enjoyed it. TOnight we have "Balls of fury" Im really psyked about it, it looked good.

Randy got his purple hubs together with his purple rims, on his purple colnago...Ill get a pic up when I get a sec.

Code red reorganized the shop over the weekend with cracker, they did an awesome job. some of my stuff disappeared. It looks like a bikeshop agian. Im excited to go to work now. Also, we have a little bit more inventory. Got a lot done today, sized a couple people, did some on the spots. We were really busy, it was cool.

Gonna steal the wifes car super early. Swing into work, grab the SS. Ride back to chicopee, do some hours out there, then ride back to work all stinky.

I think I'll pour me a glass of Fat bastard Merlot, that "Santa" got me. Santas hot! She has been losing a little wieght, and you can start to see it. My wife is so hot. ( as code red would say)

A couple words of advice to get you through your day...

Say thank you if someone opens the door for you.

IF you come to a stop sign at the same time as the person to your right, let them go.

Look each one of your kids in the eye, and tell them that they make you very happy. Make sure your looking into there eyes when you tell them.

Pet your dog.

Think about everything that you screwed up really bad in the last week and laugh about it.

Say please.

Give your honey a neck rub, just because. (or because she puts up with you)

If you reach for something at the sametime as the person next to you, and it's the last one on the shelf, let them have it. be nice.

If someone does something wrong and you know it, say something. Dont be a coward. Remember, you did the right thing, cool or not.

Ride your bike. Drink your beer.

Cheers
