Stupid Hurts

Naked Man Attacked By Gator

It’s is things like this I am going to miss once I leave Florida. My first day here I was listening to a news story about two ladies who were trapped in their car for nearly four hours because the battery died and they didn’t know how to operate the door locks manually. The news in Florida tends to be so offbeat one of my favorite news engines Fark.com instituted a “Florida” tag for Floridian news due to the amount of weird happenings in the sunshine state. a recording of the 911 call. I love how the agent handles it

Yesterday the water park closed early due to the fact the weather sucked and no customers came. Instead of letting us all go home, the management had the life guards stay on the clock and test ride one of the rides for an hour and a half in the rain. I never knew a water slide could leave you sore like that. To make up for having us all hanging out in the rain they got everyone free massages today. After my massage was done the girl looked up at me and asked me if was I going to see a doctor about my shoulder. She thought my shoulder had the texture of raw hamburger meat.

That’s a nice thought

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.
