Random thoughts among other things from a smelly good boy

30 March, 2007


Good lord, I'm hung over. We went out last night and celebrated the 40th anniversary of the birth of Axtman (#67, above) whose the fastest skinny guy on skis I know. Zibibbo's in downtown P.A. was our drinking/eating hole and Guapo was our bartender. He's the man with the margarita plan and we concurred that it's a good plan, 6 times over. Fowlkes and I split a $63.00 rib eye steak that was mooing when it came out from the kitchen and we ate until we got the gout.
When I woke this morning I had to take apart my new Trek as its too big for me (I mistakenly grabbed a 58cm and I need a 56cm- oops!) and build up my spare, spare bike- the red Klein. Wrenching at 7:30 a.m. while your hung over is always fun as, and I was really happy that nothing fell off and I didn't go ass over tea kettle when I rode at lunch today.

My friend Joe, who is wise, wrote this post on his blog and I couldn't have said it better. And I'm from Queens, New York- just so you know, where balls are broken by the hour and they usually come with a slice of pizza. I find it tough out here in Californi-fake p.c. land, where people are quick to dish, but not to take, then they cry about your words. It can be a sad state of affairs out here on the left coast, Joe, and I feel your pain.

The redneck in me covets this car.
Oh God, will I actually buy an American car one day soon?

Will I ever get over Daisy Duke?


I got my damaged carcass up Old La Honda today. How am I damaged? I'm pretty sure I've got a herniated disc, which I've raced with now for more than 5 years. Though it could be the same thing that broke when a certain tool on the BMC team took me down at McLane Pacific criterium last year. I ended up breaking my two lowest Transverse Processes in that crash.

I can deal, but lately, I think because I sit all day, it's gotten pretty bad. And the hacking cough I've got makes it feel really good too, let me tell ya!
When I got home I weighed myself and I was 157lbs! That really sucks. I usually race at 150lbs. Needless to say I'm pretty sad.

I bought a bag of Chips Ahoy! for the office, so I got that going for me. I should really start riding more than 6 hours a week. ha, ha!

I bought a kitty for the office - found it on eBay. I'm always amazed at what you can find on eBay. I'm on the site all the time so when I've a spare moment I search for random things- I didn't find this one, Hudak did, but I had to have it. Had to.
I'm fine, really... and look, so cute...

11 Days to go and the greatest car race series begins!! Yay!!!
Will Renault stay on top? Will Ferrari dominate with Kimi behind the wheel? Will Toyota finally win a race? Will I finally get to a race and scream my head off like Euro trash?
Goodness, I cannot wait for this season. I may have to put out my Ferrari flag early.
Oh that's right, I have a Ferrari flag. Don't doubt my passion, young Jedi! You know not the ways of F1.

A lot of you are wondering why I haven't been posting, or when I have been (ceratainly not on my bike), I've dropped some random thing here that has to do with eBay. Well, we did it last night. The crew and I were here until 3 am this morning and we got version zAlpha up on the internet. It was a lot of work and I'm very proud to have been a part of and will be a part of this new service that could really change the way people sell their items on eBay, Craigslist, and other places. There still is some work to do, but go check out www.ztail.com , sign up and start sharing your items for sale!
Let us know what you think, what you'd like to see, and what you need to make it better.

P.S. Get yourself Firefox, for goodness sakes! IE7 sucks as a browser!

Man, if I'd the $$ I'd send Losephus a check right now and have him pick up this car for me. Classy. Slow, perhaps, but classy.
Check out the mileage. Nutty low.

You can make your very own Jackson Pollack painting on your computer screen. Click the mouse to change color. I'm pretty sure Jack is rolling over in his Hampton Springs grave every time you go to this website, but like all things, the reality becomes pixelated.
