Snakes And Thigh Issues

Yinz wanna know wh yI hate my little corner of Western PA?? Well one of 500 reasons is the fact that you wait all winter for summer to get here, then summer gets here and you realize that the best weather was in March! Because summer in Western PA is gray (sort of pale white gray, all the time), humid, rainy and has all the characteristics of a stale, white, wet, hairy dog turd. BUT if you wait about 2 hours from the time you think that, the sun will come out and you will think that the place isn't as bad as you think, but then two minutes later the gray returns. you snap out of it and carry on with the hate.

Because my local trails are no doubt slicker than shit from the daily rains, and not all that fun, I have been retreating to the roads and rail trails to get some time and miles in. It's not all that fun, but it gets the job done. The Ti El Mariachi is in the shop being converted into the what amounts to a mountain/cross/hybrid bike for the Hilly Billy Roubaix, so I rolled the Dos Niner today for 2:30 so I could get used to spinning out on the roads, work on my rain induced crotch rot, and soak in some negative Vitamin D. At this point I think I would have to spend 3 years on the sun to get back into the positive on the Vitamin D front.

Ran into the fella on the way back to the xB on the rail trail. I hate snakes, but figured rather than pedal away squealing like a little girl (as is my norm), I stopped to take a pic and tried talking with it (no reply). I was going to get freaky like Liddy (freak) with the rats, and eat the f*cker to squelch the fear, but opted just to watch and realize that it was just doin' its thang.

Once home I needed to get some XXC work done and then to run to Smarty Mart. While I was there I picked up some new undies. I believe that Wifey refuses to wash any of my boxers just so she can laugh at me as I walk free swinging around the house enraged and bitching because I gotz no nugget covers! Anyway, I pick up the bonus four pack of boxers, size 34/36 (I'm a 34), get them home, try them on, and F*CKING A! THEY'RE TO TIGHT AROUND THE THIGHS, AGAIN!! I've mentioned this before, I'm mentioning this shit again... WHO are these people with 34" waists, but thighs like twigs?? So now I have a bunch of freaking undies that I can't wear, and I CAN'T take back because there's been nugget contact. FRIG!! Hmmm, can does eBay have any sort of nugget contact detection software built in to its auctions??

Later.
