a few thoughts for the day
Yesterday my riding partner Gary came by. He was going to use his truck to help me move all of my stuff from the shop. Three years worth of 80 hour weeks and my compulsive need to collect cycling bits has led to an enormous pile of parts. I have enough stuff to build five or six bikes. There are frames and boxes on boxes of components. I don’t have any idea how many wheel sets I have. Between all of that and my tools, bike stand and the rest it’s quite a lot of gear. The other thing we were gonna do was take all of the bags of trash that I had piled outside to the dumpster at the shop. I have been planning on renting a big dumpster for here at the house and going through everything again just tossing away whatever I could but time and money aren’t going to allow it before I head out east. Rather than leave the 20 bags of crap sitting outside I went ahead and took them away. Normally I would just take them a few at a time in Eloise but they have been rained on several times and had taken on a magical smell. Not the sort of thing I really want to put IN my car.
So we did that and then we watched the morning tour that I had Tivo’d. This year is really strange. The yellow has changed hands something like 8 times already. There really is no clear leader. Team discovery has fucking fallen apart. It’s really shameful. My pick for the year, Jan Ulrich, got tossed out before the start for doping suspicions. That really sucks. There was a brutal crash on the members of the breakaway too. It was painful to watch.
I almost forgot. Gary, who is a pretty damned good cook, brought me two plates of shrimp and bits that he had made. I ate like a starving dog. It was fucking incredible. I did that thing where I ate it all even though I was full just because it tasted so good.
Today I am running errands and doing some general shopping. Oh the fun. I get to buy cleaning products and check out some prices for the things I still need for the never ending bathroom project. I need to get going the day is here and there’s a lot to do.
