Stupid Hurts

I know it is a little late. These things happen. Happy New Years! everyone, I hope everything makes sense so far, and if you ended up praying into a toilet for New Years, I hope it was clean.

Mine was sursprisingly quiet, but I am ok with that.

I found video clips of New Years Fireworks from around the world. Some of them are pretty impressive and I am glad I caught them.

There was something else going on, but I don’t really want to write about it until I have all the details. And currently I am missing a few points right now, but it involves the local city police dept. misplacing one of my bicycles, thats makes me a little unhappy.

I told myself yesterday that if the water park was closed due to cold weather that I would do something useful with my day. Needless to say when a supervisor called to tell me no one wanted to pick ice off the water slide and I don’t need to worry about reporting in I was less than shocked.

So after four hours of warming a seat in a coffee shop and bitching about the cold to anyone who would listen, I finally got my act together and set out to drop my bike off for service.

Normally I would cream my pants at a chance to ride 40-50 miles and get cool new stuff for my bike. But I find my self less than thrilled when it is only 48 degrees out. Eventually I did suck it up and head out. Luckily for me nothing really interesting happened on the ride with the exception of finding the Covert skate shop which I have to admit is pretty awesome.

The down side, is that due to backlog at the shop it will be a few days before they can get to my rig. I was hoping for same day service but the tech just shook his head and laughed. Which unfortunately means a 4 hour bus ride back home, and another one back out the shop in a few days.
