Hanging on

We arent defunct yet.

I'm following this why?

Looks like My political commentator has stopped politic-ing, and twisted off from blogger. I was thinking of starting a blog more oriented towards My personal life but I don't think it would have much substance, and I've been struggling to keep these two going. Yes blogger is still a priority of Mine. ;-)

Update

I guess maybe I've been neglecting this thing, but then again I haven't been riding either. I saw a rider shooting foliage pics last night I did that last year it's really tough to get a good one. Most of My internet time has been spent in a music forum lately.

P. S. John Fogerty can sing anything.

John Fogerty

I didn't think this was about baseball.

Weather

I shouldve listened to Jay Trobec cause I was sh***y a** cold.

Update

I broke another spoke and sold My bike.

Update

I've been riding fairly steady about 15 to 20 miles every other day on the sidewalk. I'm having a whole lot of near misses again lately with the right turn on red. Although the last ride was better, and I have no idea what My weight is but hopefully that's better too.
Might set out on the highway today.

Some music

After a real hasty chain change I took this ride Monday. It was real windy. 2:17 11avg 24max

Museum ride

I took that group ride I mentioned earlier, there was lots of oldsters. I talked for quite awhile to a lady new in town from New Jersey.

This passenger train myseriously showed up nobody had saw one here before, My guess is it has something to do with the railroad moving project.

Here's a picture of the pack, we made stops at Tutt hill and Riverside park and that was intersting, I guess Riverside park used to be a fairground. I was mainly intersted in it for the group ride, and the museum workers said they profited from it.

Just when I thought cycling was a useless activity{besides for trying to control weight} My neighbor saw Me airing My tires. And I did the exhaust so the usual headaches with traffic. I took a walk down the bike trail and those lil' open sections are busy as hell. Not wearing cycling clothes either. 2:00 12avg 28max

Taking bike rides has been a real pain in the ass because I've been storing My bike in My parents garage. Like adding to this blog since I don't have internet access, right now I'm on fry'n pan wifi. I store My bike in My living room now so that got somewhat better.

I rode this ride with a 5 miles extension south on Minnesota Ave for distance. I'm kind of residing Myself to not getting many miles in this summer.
Next Saturday I'll be doing a group ride with the siouxland heritage museums; and it'll probably be short with a lot of traffic furniture, but I'm looking foreward to it.

I've been neglecting this blog I know.The route I rode I originally found on mapmyride.com but I can't find it. It was down Minnesota Ave to the road to Canton, it was afabrad I think. I probably cut it short, I almost got stopped by a train coming across the prarie. Good shoulder to this road, I saw a roadie coming into town, lots of posing, I think he wussed out though.

After deciding I can't afford running shoes right now I made a bike trip to Sioux City. One of My earliest posts, I think it was in the 10's or 20's I said if the sewer work continues I would ride their trail. So I did.

I was rollin deep and haulin ass chasing some roadie trying not to lose this trail that veers all over the place, eighty nine degrees, a little wind beautiful.

I'm trying to tan out some scars from psoriasis so I can get My tatoo fixed, right now it sort of looks like the hardees star.

The Sioux City trail although shorter than ours is all concrete, I liked not riding the t-t-t-tar for once.

Because I didn't have a regular jersey I also didn't have the fujifilm camera, so these are from My phone.

This was a nice tunnel, but a little rough on the sinuses. I'm not quite sure what I expected from the city that serves as the starting point for ragbrai most of the time. I can't complain, there was a point in the ride when I decided that after 12 miles I was just getting started, so I rode out to Stone state park and back which was sweet too. No stats this time

The answering machine

I decided I wanted to do a piece on these things since I've been having many one sided conversations with them. For quite awhile I wasn't saying thank you at the end because lets face it, they mainly just bug Me. I should probably do this:

Make a list of all of the reasons why a person may not be able to take a call
(e.g., she's out of the office, he's on another line, etc.). When
you do take a call, be sure to repeat the caller's name, number, and message
before you hang up to confirm that you have the correct information.

Lately I haven't had the time to do anything like that, looking for a job most of the time these people never call back it's pretty lame.

Practice this conversation with a partner. Then write your own telephone conversation by using some of the phrases you came up with in the prelistening activity.

Probably the toughest conversation I've had lately I had to tell this professional guy what My problems with him were on his answering machine, sticky.

So in the meantime I'm enjoying My 12 hour break from this machine.

A sh**** sh**** sh**** bike trail ride, it was almost comically bad.

Re-run

I found a livestrong bracelet and have been wearing it, and it kind of brought Me back to this that is really funny, I think.

Update

We have been having some really nice weather and I'm definitely getting the itch to ride. I probably won't start for another ten days though.

And when I do it'll probably be a lot of this ride right here since they inxed 1/2 of the best part of the trail, as the map shows. Somebody must have it out for bike riders around here, peace.

No I haven't been riding a bike, I think You'd have to be nuts to do that right now anyways. We had a **thunderstorm last week of all things last week, and it dumped four inches of ice all over everything. I have been taking a break from the gym, I don't think I've taken off any weight anyways. My birthday is coming up and I've already bought Myself My present, a modest flat screen television. I hadn't had a t.v. in four months so I flip this thing on and there's still nothing to watch, they had cancelled Austin city limits for some bad music special. So no regrets on not spending more money on it. I'm tooling My bike up, I went to TWD last week and they were actually nice, and helpful to Me. Who knows how much trail we'll have to ride though.

This is the bike trail map of construction, and it hasn't been updated in a thousand years, so some of this is fixed. Who knows, the picture of Me would be promotional for My music, but whatever.

:-P

It snoweth again and the plows were loud also, but due to this weird skin problem I can only take bathes, that might've played into My insomnia. My recent gym performance was pathedic, I'm guessing it was because I was somewhat depressed. Otherwise I've been keeping busy with school and the apartment and everything. Also getting ready to ride, I don't have any big goals for this year, I guess the bike camping is still out there.

I decided I will talk about this sense I ride the bus, this is a pretty big deal for Sioux Falls if we keep moving in this direction.

Otherwise I've been getting more attention from women than past years, must be cause I'm dressing nice or the androgyny or something.

Gearing up part deux

I've been trying to get some gear here and I'm not having any luck, I'm trying to find some CST tubes which is what came on My bike. I'm not going to put up with that bontrager tube grief this season,(broken stems) all you can get at the shops here is either that, or quality tubes. Slime has been getting a lot of press lately but the customer reviews are bad so I probably won't be buying those.
I went to the gym again and sapped Myself for energy the next day which caused some problems, but I feel like I'm in good shape to ride this year. I gotta do another chain change real early this spring. Hopefully H. Jane holds up for another season, the drivetrain on er is pretty Chinsey, ideally I would like to ride this bike for 2 more seasons, we'll see.

the blizzard

We got a pretty wicked snowstorm last week the snowplows damn near drove Me nuts in My apartment. I had to re arrange the furniture to try toget a decent amount of sleep.I have been running and some what I am going to call career runners dusted Me pretty bad on the track. I did a lot of wheezing that day but it's all good, I haven't been stretching much either. I've been doing tests for school and trying to find this Liz Hatch type girl to bike and possibly ice skate with.(hey its cheap)

My guitar

Here's the guitar.

1/11/2012 Not a whole lot to say

I have been making it to the gym but not this week, which isn't all together bad since I'm testing for school. The girl I liked is having an affair it turns out so I decided to steer clear of her, even as a workout partner. I got turned down for this government funded job training program, so that was disappointing. I've been stressed out and lonely. Oh yea and it snowed.
