Hard to believe, but true.

Im NOT a whiner. I can take anything you throw at me, ultimatley, I have it better than a lot of people.

Yesterday after dumping around $500 dollars into the car fiasco/macon breakdown, I was feeling pretty low.

Turns out That I spent $500 to find out the car I just got from bobby has a blown motor, two pistins are shot.

Not bobby's fault, not my fault, nobody's fault really.

Still, it hurts. I could have dumped that money into the mazda and had a drivable car. Oh, the mazda, dont get me started on fiasco. It's amazing how one bad decision can snowball into your nearly ultimate demise.

So, the car is still in macon. In a parkinglot of a bmw buddy of bobby's. Chris, super nice guy.

So, BAm Bam has volunteered his tow dolly and me and mattycakes will probably get it on friday, fi I can get out. Code red was off today, the shop was really busy. I did get Bobby's bike done, and some other stuff. I need accomplishment, it get a guy through the day and takes his mind off of stuff.

STuff like everything I own is in that phukin bmw 100 miles away. I cant ride a bike til I get that car, so, as for my training this week, there wont be any. I think tonight I might put on some sneaks and try and run til I throw up. I need to exhaust myself somehow.

Hoff can keep this whole freakin month, in fact, you can have feb as well bro!

Bobby said all I have to do is get the car back, and take a saturday off. He'll give me a motor, all I need to do is put it in. Thats some consolation, my car luck sucks.

One of my customers, Jeff, came in. He told me I neede to by an old vw bug. I told him, before I screwed up and got that freakin mazda, I looked for two weeks for an old bug under a grand, and had no luck. I would love an old bug. They are the perfect car, simple, cheap, bulletproof, and they sip gas. They also have the cool factor. You can fix anything from anywhere.

Not in the cards though.

I still cant feel my pinky toes, iM worried. They are normal color, but they sleep. SHey said thats ok, they'll come back. Ill keep my fingers crossed.

Gotta go, need to clean up before I leave. Also, I need to find a ride home or Im freakin walkin...I hate walkin. Although, it will burn some calories, I could run home, that would kill two birds with one beer can!


Oh, and before you think IM moping, Im not. like evryone else, I get asked "how you doin today?" a thousand times a day. My reply stays the same..

"Awesome, I woke up, my kids are healthy, my wife loves me, none of my friends died on me, it doesnt get any better"

Cheers and beers

I have permanent nerve damage in some of my fingers and toes from racing over the last year or two. Any time it gets slightly cold out I can't feel my big toes or my fingertips. A major reason why I decided to stop riding in the rain after 2 hours last weekend.

Well, if it's any consolation my riding this week has been crappy and limited to very few hours on the trainer! I'm ready for winter to be over now.

Not Just No but...

Not just no but HELL no. I don't want the rest of your January let alone another month. Unless it has to be two months before the blues go away then I will take February, despite being 1 day longer this year it's still the shortest month.

See ya next Friday in the lot. We'll toast a few and do some voodoo into the ring of fire.

you were missed

sorry to hear about all your auto troubles, but know that your competition was missed at snake creek this passed weekend. Something happened to Hoff as well, I haven't found out what yet. conditions were slow and sticky, I worked a hell of a lot harder for a slower overall time. Shane and Jamie brought their A game. I'm in Nashville for the week for work, but will be looking for some rides in the Tenn/Ga area this weekend if you wanna head out, let me know.
