Rain, rain go away!!

Well once agian I am a little slow on posting on here. I just need to make it a habit to update something.

I bowled again last weekend in the Tri-state tour. Well, I guess I participated because I sure didn't bowl!! I thought I would do fairly well since I am used to the lanes that we bowled on, but they did not react the same after the first two games. I really started to struggle the third and fourth game. It seems that once I get out of my comfort zone, it is really hard for me to find a groove. Oh well, I had a good time and didn't have to travel too far to do it.

This weekend is the kick off of the Dino series. I will be attemting my first mtb race on my singlespeed. It should be interesting will all of the rain that we have been getting. Where is all that warm weather we had a week or so ago??

I am not too worried about the race. I am planning on just having some fun and not get all bent out of shape. I keep telling myself that it is just another ride. But, it will be interesting to see how well I do. I have decieded to start out in the beginner class. I know, it might be sand bagging a little bit, but untill I can see how I do against other racers, I figure it is a good place to start. If I do real well, then maybe I will move up to Sport for the next race.

I feel that my SS will really help me this weekend. The course is not too hilly and as long as I can keep some flow going, I should do well. With all of the rain and mud I will also not have a problem with my shifting!!

Well, I am out for now. I am headed north. I hope to let you know how I did on Monday, but it will probably be more like next weekend the way I have been going.

See ya!

more rain

Well, I can tell already that I will not like mowing this year......again! It seems like the grass is growing way too fast already. I tried to squeeze in some mowing last night before the rain. All I can say is I was wet when I finished mowing a small section of my yard.

With the weather being the way it was and I was actually home, I figured that I could work in the woods some. So, with the rain comming down and the lightning in the sky, I headed out to the woods to clear part of my bike path. I even started on a new section that I was wanting to do over the winter. Well guess what? I didn't get it done. So, now I am out in the rain working on it. Since everything is growing so fast, the sticker bushes were growing too and my legs are scratched up.

Last night I also took the bb and cranks off of my bmx bike and they should be making it on the SS real soon. I hope before I can ride it the next time.

See ya next time

summer is near

Well, it seems that summer is comming. I went on a super 16+ mile ride last Sunday and could not complain about the weather. 80+ degrees all day long!! Next thing we will be wanting it to be cooler again. Go figure.

I have another bowling tournament this weekend, but this one should be a blast. It is a team event and the main goal is to have a good time and maybe get drunk once or twice. The only bad thing is the 6 hour drive to get there. Good think I will not be driving. I will be sitting back enjoying a in flight movie or two. I do hope that I can bowl good enough to win some money. I need all I can get.

I hope I can save up enough to head up to Warsaw for the first Dino race at the end of the month. It will be interesting to see if I am the only one on a single speed in my class. It does not matter! They will all want one when I am done! LOL

It does look like I am getting closer to being able to go to the SSWC05 in PA. I sure hope so. That will be more.........fun that should be allowed!

blah blah blah

Well, it seems that once again it took me too long to post anything in here. Oh well.

I have been busy with the summer getting ready to take off. I have done a little house and yard work in some free time, but I have a ton of stuff to do yet. I need to mow already!! That sucks!

I have been doing some good night rides at Ferdianand still. The plan is to try to make it down to the cave this weekend for a good ride. Not sure if I will make it or not yet.

Next weekend I have the Moose bowling tournament to go to. It is a long drive, but it should be a good time. Plenty of beer will be drank, that is for sure!!

Well go out and enjoy the sun while it lasts. It is supposed to rain for the next three days. Yeehaa!!

This is so Damon can understand.. Come on cuz! Getr off yer duff and on da beik.
