more bad luck

Well, the BMX race is out and the Thanksgiving ride is out. My hot water heater went out last week, so all of my money for the race is now spent! That sucks! Oh well, my new bike is still not here yet. I am expecting it today. I will need to get it built and get some practice on it before I try to race somewhere.

What am I going to do this weekend? Well, I actually have a few day's off of work. I have been work 6 full day's a week. I plan on getting on a bike some time. I don't care where I go, but I want on a bike!!!

I have my new chain ring on the SS. I now need to put the new cog and chain on and I will be set. If this rain ever stops, I just might be able to get int the woods some time.

Well, not much else going on here. I still hate most of my life! I can always hope that a bag of money hits me in the head!

See you later!

Slacker!

Wow, what a slacker I am. Sorry it has been so long since I posted. (I sound like someone actually reads this thing!) Any ways, I have a couple of different parts for my SS I need to get on. They I hope that it rides good for the winter. Plans are to get out as much as I can, but I am going to wait until gun season is over. I have thought about putting some antlers on my helmet, but I figure there are a few people out there that just might miss me. I guess it is not that bad, I have just been depressed lately. Work sucks, no time to ride, not enough money to go around, and I am sure I can find a few other things to complain about.....

I went for a ride last weekend. My first time in the woods since the Pisgah trip. I rode like shit! It felt like I had two flat tires and was holding the brakes half way down. I hope it doesn't stay that way. SS will be real tough if it does. Then again, it just might be what I need to force myself over the hill.

I will be bowling in a tournament this weekend. I hope I can win me some money! Actually, I just hope I bowl good. Last year I didn't even get my average once.

I have also decided that I will be racing BMX at the Thanksgiving National insted of heading out for a long Pisgah weekend. I should have the new Porter frame in by then. I just hope I can still ride! It has been way too long.

See you next time!

Rain on Monday

Well, it is Monday and it is raining again! This has to be the worst day of the week. You have to go back to work after a short weekend, find the large pile of work on your desk you left Friday and then it is raining.

I hope everyone goes out and votes tomorrow. It is your right and you should use it.

I purchased the bowling ball that I tried last week. It is used and cheep and worked great. I rolled a 238 Saturday with it after I set it up. Considering I was just screwing around with it trying to see what works, I am really happy with how hard this ball hits. I guess we will see tonight if I can make it work again.

Well, I am working on lining up another weekend in the mountains. I am not sure I can handle 3-4 day's of riding, but I will see what I can do. I know the day trips will be long and hard. I just need to see if I have enough clothes to wear in November for any kind of riding. I guess I have a few weekes to figure out what I have and what I will need.
