A Nice Start

Today was a nice start to the summer season and a nice start to the week. Nice warm temps, sun, and a nice 2+ hour, 35 mile road ride. Good stuff. Would have liked to have conitued my dirt binge, but some heavy storms moved through yesterday evening, and I didn't know how slick and nasty the trails would be. Plus I figured my bod could use a bit of a rest from the trails.

I'm sort of shocked that I rode as well, since I'm on like no sleep lately. My one neighbor and her hick friends seem to think we live out in the sticks (we don't). They have been up 'till 4 a.m. the past 2 night blasting music and burning a fire pit outside our house. So we all have watering eyes, no sleep, windows closed up on 65* nights, and a f*cking moron for a neighbor. I've about had it. I mean, I like a good camp fire... at A CAMP! Not in my living room. WTF?? But hey, it's America and Memorial Day. Folks died so we have the freedom to stay up 'till 4 a.m. blasting bad music and burning wet wood. Jesus! I hope that they didn't die for such trivial things. Sorry for the rant. But I'm really f*cking on edge lately.

Went to a nice cookout at my sis-in-law's digz yesterday so we were a bit burned out on the cook out type grub. So what does Casa Da Soiled Chamois cook up on one of the biggest grillin' days of the year?? General Tso's Chicken baby! Sans dee frying, but still chock full of broccoli, peppers, rice and spicy chicken breasts. I like to think it Chinese/Eastern European/White Trash American. Washed down nicely with a couple Bell's Oberons. Mmmm.

Sadly I am becoming more of an introverted, anti-social, misanthrope with every passing second. Love me.

Getting real close to finishing up the mag. Should be out this week. Leave for Mohican on Friday, so I have three days to git'r out. Should be good to go. Nothing would help me celebrate the release of the 2nd issue like 100 miles in the saddle.

Later.
