1 Hour, 45 min. Of my life... Wasted.

So several weeks ago, my wife and I go to a baseball game. At one point during the game, she takes a walk with B-Man and enters a "contest" to have the house re-done by a window company. Long story short- The window company showed up on the door step tonight to SELL us windows (big surprise!) The dude had props and all kinds of shit. He was like the Carrot Top of window sales. It was the saddest/funniest/most pathetic thing. We couldn't stop him. He busted out a heat lamp, A HEAT LAMP!!! To prove the window's energy saving ability. "Great! That's amazing!" we cheered.

Then he gives us the estimate.... $29,000. BUTTTTTT! Because I went to the Art Institute of Pittsburgh (whatttt???) 15 years ago he's gonna give it to us for $20,000!! Finally I told him. We have no money for windows. We'll call if we do. Goodnight. That and the B-Man laid down a diaper full of peaches and milk.

Some meager bike stuff: Put together all my lighting for the upcoming 24 on Labor Day weekend. Gonna do some charges and run time estimates this week. My pit man Tom will be M.I.A. at this race due to family stuff so Wifey and Papa-M will be doing the work. I'm putting together tip sheets for Wifey and we're gonna have a tutorial next week. Either gonna hit the trainer or road ride tomorrow. Weather looks "if-y".
Going to try to borrow the EZ Up from Tom. I was gonna get a room at the Springs too, but pretty sure that is NOT going to happen.

Check out this Team Reevax crash action from the TransRockies Race! Nice.

And remember... Windows with Argon-3®, Tri-Sided with Du-plex® molding for ulitmate, weather proofing and secure fit is really the only way to go.

Later.
