I'm Back Baby....

 

Blue handlebar tape... FANCY!



It was a no brainer... the decision was made the moment one meeting ended early and the other was moved due to a person being busy.  A void in my day parted like the red sea and I was out of my chair lickety-split.  However, my Tuna with cheese was being delivered?  Oh fuck the Tuna with cheese there would be other sandwiches, uh plus you could put it in the fridge.  Yes, that is just what I would do.  


I practically raced down the hallway pulling my gym cloths off as I went.  I was in the cabinet grabbing my bike shorts and slipping into them, and a game of twenty horses decided on which jersey I would ride with today.  I was thinking about going trash pandas on the socks when the jersey came out white, but optioned for the kokopelli's instead.  I like that little dude.  Like him better when he is on a bike.  It didn't matter to me that I already had a workout scheduled with Clayton.  I had rested yesterday.  I was jonesing badly for a ride.  I needed one.  It had been to long.  The bike had been back in the house since last Friday and while I sweet talked it a few times in passing I hadn't been on it.  Plus, I need to get out and show off the new Colt Blue handle bar tape.


I knew I wasn't going far today, so I left the camelbak at home and just filled my bottles on the way out the door.  I didn't know exactly where I was going but I had a vague idea. It was going to be a nice flat ride.  


I was out the door in a flash and on my way.  It felt amazing.  It was so good to be back outside wind in my face riding my bike.  Oh, it was so fantastic.  My legs felt fantastic.  I was a little worried about a few cricks and creaks I heard my bike making, but over all, it was just a fanatic experience.  I was out for about an hour, and did about 10 miles.  Nothing major, nothing hard, just a man on his bike doing what he loves and it was super awesome.  So happy to say "I'm Back Baby!"

The Escapement

Billy b at the book store…. Not the best selfie    The Escapement The Escapement is a Sci-fi novel by Lavie Tidhar.  It was the first book I read for a Sci-if book club I joined here in Bloomington.  However, I am not here to talk about the novel or review it.  I think it was worth a read, but that is something for you to decide for yourself.  No I am here to talk about the fact that I left the house and went out to a book club.   The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome or something like that.   Truth, I can’t continue to sit on my couch every night and expect for my life to be anything other than ordinary.  Unless, I am really lucky and guessing from the Mega Millions drawing last night I am not.  As someone one almost a billion dollars and I won four, so a beautiful bride and a bunch of friends aren’t just going to come knocking on my door as I watch another Superman TV show or reruns of Archer.  Also, the more I sit on

Back Home Again....

Image
  I am back home again in Indiana.  When I say I am back home again, I mean it!  I am currently living in my Mom's basement.  48 and living in Mom's basement, isn't that the dream?  Maybe if you are a serial killer.  Actually, I tease.  I always have a nice time with my Mom.  Here place is super nice and Kona and have been very welcomed guests. The Trip back across the country wasn't awful.  It had some moments that weren't so great like when we got hit by a giant cone that semi crushed.  However, overall it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  Things really happened at warp speed at the end.  I am not sure where the time went.  The move was moved up by a day because of weather issues.  So, when I picked my good buddy Chip up at the airport in Oakland on the 19th we just started the journey back across the country.   Leg 1 of the journey we went from Livermore to Reno.  So, we loaded up the Dodge Durango (which was a rental) with Kona and headed out.  It was

Settling in….

I can’t believe how long it has been since I sat down to write.  I have thought about it, but then I think what I have to say is foolish and I step away from it.  Like anyone wants to read a blog about my new nice rack.  Living back in Indiana is going great.  I think I am really close to hitting my stride.  Kona as you can see above is doing really well.  That was a picture from her last walk with her new Dog walker Basil.  Yes, her name is Basil.  Not sure if her parents were hippies, yuppies, or chefs, but I am sure it has to be one of the three.  She is no Ross, or at least not yet.  Kona seems to go back and forth between parking at her and seeing her as a new playmate.  I like Basil because she is an accounting major at IU, and being a former accounting major myself I know we are good people.  Kona has loved the season changes.  She loves snow.  That crazy dog will just go outside in it and shove her face straight in it.  She spends most of her days in the backyard.  I go out the
