Why and what?

Why would I facebook message a person I dated 20 years ago. And what IF she responds?
I dated this girl around graduation time, she was a soph and went to martin, really way too cute for me. But hey, there was something about me she seemed to like. technically she broke up with me out of the blue, but being a senior/grad I assumed that the grass was greener on the other side and pretty much blew her off in bad form. turns out the grass wasnt AS green and since I burned the bridge in such a big way, had no way to return.
a few years later( she had graduated) was looking up a friend that had the same last name and found her. out of curiousity I called and damn if she didnt answer. We ended up meeting up, and talked a bit and that was it.
UNTIL face book.
I looked her up for giggles and actually found her. still going by her maiden name, debated for a few days about sending her a message, then today I did. "I am a kick in Jacks balls". Now I just waite and see i guess.
What The F was I thinking?

Oh and I still havent ridden since the FNR. I really feel like riding, but after work, the heat and humidity, I just pretty much veg out. maybe tomorrow. for tomorrow is another day.

What have I been doing?

not much really. I only rode 1 day this week and it was a weak ride at that. Since it finally got hot (high 90's with 70% humidity or more) work has been buy as hell. lots of heat and long hours makes me lazy, sort of. I just really don't want to ride after work. on the plus side, Wednesday after work, Randy did the cover-up and lower part of the dragon koi short sleeve tattoo. so I had that going for me. Made the FN ride, hot and unbelievably humid. Got up at the dawn of crack saturday and hauled ass to the home depot for some stuff to mark the trail for the Judgement day guys/girls.saw some really big rat/water snakes and 1 really good sized copperhead. then got back to the trailhead and awaited the competators. had to leave arounf 11 or so for work and then did a call for the elusive Megan. fixed up some bad ductwork and called it a day.Until, the dinner message came in. a little mexican food and 'ritas on the rocks was sweeetttt. Hit the right spot for sure. followed up with some Ice cream.

Sunday... Fathers day.
slept in. met the parental units and the sis for some lunch. then head over to Dallas for an inpromptu "L" family reunion. really one of my cousins from afar was in town and wanted everyone to get together.Its a shame we're related. beautiful, dark hair, fair skin. dang related hot girls. We had a good time,got caught up about the past 6 years, and bs'd.
For some reason, chinese food sounds good right now..

Ohh,,,,,,,,

I haven't had much happening, I did the smurfboy 6 hr race. it was about a bazillion degree's when it started and humid at shit. I did a recon lap since I had never been there, man. It started out with a start lap then right into some rocky climbing. I walked the first two steeps since this was going to go on for 6 hours. Oh did I mention that I ended up doing it solo? My "partner in climb" ended up bailing because his wife had a nasty get off on a road ride. She ended up in the hospital and he had to go be a the good husband, so solo it was for me.
So anyway,, hot as hell, a shitload of climbing, the veiw from the top of the ridge kinda made the climbing worth it, but really it was the downhills that followed that rocked. I coulda done some great stuff on 6 inches of travel or more, but I dialed em' in pretty good for a hardtail 29er. I felt like a snickers bar in the sun after the first lap, I thought about bailing then, but cooled down for a bit remounted and hit it again. walked the steepest part on the climb again and rocked the rest of the trail. checked in, again thought about bailing, clouds came in and was acompanied by a nice little breeze.So I downed some water, a PB and J some goo and hit it again. this time I rocked it all. including the climb. aquired some cramps in the right thigh about six miles into this lap, SUCK! pounded out the rest of the lap with some cramping. but still was feeling pretty good with the weather change. so out I went again, after some time in the pit stretching and hydrating, still had the cramps. this time in both legs, but were tollerable as long as I didnt mash too hard in the climbs and hills.
At this point, the weather turned a little nasty. thank god, I was wiped out. The lightning was pretty big and moving closer, So I showered( yes this place had showers) packed everything up and got ready to hit the road before the rain came in. turs out I left prematurely because it didnt get too bad.Oh well, it was nice to get home early and sleep in my own bed.
Not sure where I placed yet, The results arent up yet. will let you know when I know.
Oh, anyway, I did 4 laps total, still had about 1 and 1/2 hours left. not sure about the mileage since my garmin did the battery disconnect BS. the race got called early due to the weather, so there you have it.

tittysprinkles

the weather...........

has sucked ass since Wednesday. rained buckets.70 mph winds,1700 lightning strikes in a couple of hours, and more rain. This evening was prep time for the 6 hour smurfboy. I guess we'll see how it goes.




more later

hot damn

Ive ridden every day since Sunday afternoon. all dirt laps in prep for the 6 hr race. replaced the tires with the newer racing ralphs . man they roll nice. quite even. super grip on the front with the 2.44 width. just need the damn things to seal up all the pinholes in the side walls. I guess two more oz's of stans will be needed.
pretty boring couple of days really.
so Olivia Wilde is Maxims new #1. google her pics,, mmmm, I was taken by her long before Maxim, I think she may be the cause of my new found attraction to raven haired women. dont get me wrong, still got a thing for reds but I'm over blond's for sure now.
later..

so

I rode today. did four 6 mile laps in the 26 min range for some tempo riding. wasnt too bad, wasnt to great. better than a kick in the nuts I guess. I think the rest of the week will be all road 'cause my base miles are really lacking and I will be doing every other lap for 6 hours. I think mon, tues, wed, and taper off thursday, and lite pedal friday night. then its ON for saturday.
Then one day the week after, get the koi finished up since I dont want to risk eating shite with fresh ink and scabbing.

that all I got right now, maby the fuckits are gone. i hope so..

well hell............................the flu

True desire seems to have left me high and dry. For the last month or so I really haven't had much drive or desire to accomplish much. I dont know why, it's just the way things are for some reason.Ive got an endurance bike race in a week and really the last thing I want to do is go out and ride. I really need to be training and eating right but I don't want to. I call it the fuckit flu. I seem to have a scorching case. At some point I will get over this, kinda like being reborn. I think...
I guess we'll see. I really would like to sail through summer,I'm not really a summer fan, more of a spring and fall kinda guy, then the big 40 is right around the corner, hopefully I can move out, and save up the money for the Alaska trip at the same time, serious velvet powder up there for snow boarding, so I got that to look forward to, help me get out of this flu funk..

cee ya

one step closer....................

to having some more art work added to the dragon Koi. I also got to ride today, but more art work Woo Hoo!
