Title: Been away, but now I'm back.
Post by: Jake D on November 27, 2006, 08:39:57 AM
I've had a busy month. 

First, I tried a two week long jury trial.  That was so much work.   12 hours a day at the court house then back to the office to check messages.

The day after the trial ended, I flew to Mexico for a week.  I got back the day before Thanksgiving.  I went to the Riviera Maya.  Went deep sea fishing, climbed a Mayan temple (at Coba), went to Coco Bongo in Cancun, etc.  Good times.  I grew my winter (full) beard. 

As a result, I have ridden twice all month.  I rode this weekend.

I felt pretty uncomfortable.  I didn't trust the tires.  I didn't trust the road.  I didn't trust cagers.   All signs that I need to get out on the bike more. 

But I'm glad to be back.  It is time to get caught up on some work. 

I missed you guys.

Believe it or not... no!  I was off of work all last week, my wife had umbilical hernia surgery and I had to take care of the kids.  Got out a little bit Saturday, left after Mizzou scored the last touchdown.  And a tiny bit Sunday, of course I rode to work today.  I was so happy for Mizzou to win, I was going to ask you about everyone jumping off the bandwagon prior to the game.  Still have a bad taste in my mouth from the KU-KSU game, if I were a more violent person, I would be patching up some drywall!

Did I tell you I was at the MU-KSU game?  That was a long time ago.  You guys tainted your win over Texas by losing to KU.  They suck!!  We fitted them for a clown suit this weekend.   Then those ass holes beat Florida in basketball.  Can't I have one perfect day?  Just one?

Anway, I rode a bit on Friday.  Did the Weston loop.  Felt sketchy but the bike ran nice.  I want to get some new tires.  Those old Dunlops have me a little freaked out. 

Hope your wife is okay.  Dell's is having a ride on the 9th we should go on.  What do you say?

I guess the Dell's ride would be a good time to try and win a free set of tires.  Sounds like a good time to me, I have to go to baptism class for my girls at 10ish, but should be donw before noon and I will go out after that.  Time to really test out the grip heaters! +1 on the KU situation, I said the same thing Sunday morning! Man, KU sucks! Wife is doing well, just taking a while to heal.

I got so new squidly Joe Rocket gloves from Spooner (and a trickle charger, dead batteries rule).  They are pretty warm actually.

The Indian Summer will be gone mid week.  I may want to stash my bike at your place for a couple days until this cold front moves through.

No problem, let me know. I have a trickle charger as well, if you need to charge the battery. Oh yeah, did you win your trial?

I lost the two week jury trial.  I thought we had them and I think we put on a better show.  But the jury must not have believed my client.  Bummer.
I won a trial this morning, however.  Nice!

Hey, I may call you after work.  It is supposed to snow maybe.  I may bring the Shawk by tonight.  I plan on finding a better storage place for once I winterize it for good.  My buddy Klink's house, or my mom's.  But there are a few good days left so I'll call you tonight.
