Another Nice Day

04.24.07

As you can see my posts are typically a day behind...

Nevertheless.... Afterwork yesterday.. stuck on the interstate for about 30 to 40 minutes. Got home about 5:30.

Did an easy spin up Howells Mill through Big 7 Mile (that was about 5 miles on a downhill grade - got to love that) then up and over Skyhigh and home.. About 1 hour of easy road riding, but two little hills thrown in.

Then cleaned the barn up some, smashed some mole holes.

And my better half picked me ups some Applebees for dinner.

Soothing Cool Amber Liquid

Well I've been like butter last week. "On a Roll". Just to coin a phrase (and a bad one at that).

Well thought about racing this weekend but after it was all said and done, it should come as no surprise that I didn't. Let's see $100 in Gas, $30 bucks in fuel, food, etc.. it adds up fast when you consider all the misc costs associated. Not to mention the costs of not doing all the shit you need to do around the house.

So alas.. I wasn't able to hook up with A'hole or Diesel over the weekend.. this is probably due more to me than anything else.. just that well. Didn't get a chance to get ahold of either. But going into the weekend it appeared that my schedule was going to be different.

So thus after a soccer game and trip to Elkview on Saturday morning, I spent the afternoon at Kanawha State Forest. Managed about 17 miles and a couple of hill climbs, and good singletrack. The weather was awsome.. 80 degrees plus.

After the ride.. little nap and some pilsners then the betterhalf and I had dinner at Blossum's in Charleston.. If you want to pay a penny but eat some decent food.. you should check it out.

Sunday... it was even more fun. 3 hours of mowing the grass.... spraying round up, cleaning gutters...

But the soothing cool amber liquid eases it all away.
