Airhead in the Snow (The Movie)

Please forgive me. It is not Gilera's fault that I forgot to choke her! She starts faster when she is choked.

Airhead in the Snow

I quick-charged the battery on the R100, it wasn't really low, and put fresh oil in it. Man, does 20w50 move slow in the winter! I stood there and thought about it. I started her up and warmed up the engine. I thought about it some more. I turned off the engine and continued to think about it. I sighed. I turned towards the garage door. I looked out into the alley with the plowed damage of 8 inches of snowfall, some flurry still coming down. Maybe I could do it. Maybe I wouldn't squirrel out of control trying to accelerate on the snowy alley. Maybe the front wheel wouldn't lock up when I so much as touched the brake. Maybe I wouldn't break my 53 year-old leg trying to catch my balance. Maybe I wouldn't break all of my ribs as I was thrown to the ground. Maybe I wouldn't do major cosmetic damage to which ever side of the bike slid along the asphalt. Maybe monkeys would come flying out of my butt.

Eeyore

If I were to post a picture of what it looks like outside right now it would look like this:




Don't worry, you're not missing anything, that is what it looks like. Fog on snow. Yippee. I am so happy, not. It looks the same inside me. Fog on snow. Woot. I have a come-back headache (the 1st dose of ibuprofen did not cure), my left eye is scratched and sore (where that came from I do not know), and I feel nausaus (sp?) sick. Why? because I can. I don't have to work for 11 days so of course I would get sick.
I went to Best Buy and bought a TV card for my computer. They have changed technology since the last one that I tried so hopefully this will work. While I was there I picked out a camcorder and a iPod dock but I did not buy them. My head hurts.
I have a rebuilt alternator that is supposed to go into the R100 so that I can return the core to Motorad Electrik but it is cold and dark out there in the garage. I don't feel like it now. I ordered a garage heater from work but the person that I ordered it from gave me no clue as to when it will come in, certainly not while we are shut down for the year end. I will save motorcycle repairs for after the heater comes and is intalled. With the insulation and windows that I put in the garage it should be pleasant after that. The guy at Motorad Electrik was lenient about when I return the core for exchange so I will take advantage of that. I don't feel like eating lunch even though it is 1:30. bluhk.
Beth went up north with the Branen's for Christmas. Luke will be here but the action will be at Chelsea's house on Christmas. Paul is, of course, away at school in Phoenix AZ and Tim just finishing in St. Paul MN. I will be ... I hope this headache goes away by then.

OK

I found a tree on Hwy. 36 north of here and bought it and asked Luke to pick it up for me w/his Comanche 'cause I have the company rental Ford Focus and he brought it in and strung all white lights while I made turkey enchiladas and I put Charlene's cross-stitch angel on the top and beth was on the computer and Chelsea was watching My Best Friends Wedding. The snow is all shoveled, my laundry is done, I did some errands, I will sleep to get up at 5 so that me and Adam can get on the road again in the morning.

I put new photos on my iPod and I bought the Kentucky Kid series for $5. that should be fun to watch some time.

here is another project

I want to add this $2000 project bike to my collection. It is in St. Louis IL. ... and I don't have $2000 this minute.

... so is Christmas ...

My dad used to say "so's Christmas" if I said that I was coming but was obviously too slow. Well, what do I do now when even Christmas is moving faster than me? This year SUXCKS for Christmas. I have been in Kentucky (it's not Kentucky's fault) since Thanksgiving and I am going back tomorrow. I don't have tree. I can't find one in Burlington for sale. I don't have any presents for kids. I came home to dig up all the snow that had been packed down while I was gone because it did not get shoveled when it was fresh and do laundry and do some housecleaning and get some groceries for Luke and Beth and try to move because I am so burnt out and I RILLY DOWNT CARE!!!! about anything. at all. i cant even get beth to go to church with me this morning. fine. she's not going anywhere today then. poop.

The sun is shining. The snow that fell yesterday and night is is fresh and beautiful. The house is warm and full of cats, well, ok the cats part is not that wonderful (peauw! (or P.U.)). Jesus loves me. He takes me to His Father. Thanks for listening ...
