How restful

- Because everyday is exciting TM -

So I finally got cable television.

Here's the holiday so far:

Thursday:
Vacuumed and mopped the home.
Ended up doing 2 years worth of cleaning up all in one go - then mopping.
(see previous posts)


Friday:
1. Returned Philip's toothbrush
2. Signed up for cable vision




3. Got my teeth checked at the dentist
4. Got a facial


Saturday:
1. Rode Gina offroad
2. Crashed my bike for the first time.






3. Discovered that my r-dee cable was on the verge of snap (frayed), decided to go home since didn't have spare cable with me.
4. Used the extra time to clean both bikes with Dettol & jet-spray.



5. Washed half the bathroom at the same time while I'm there. Damned grout.


Here's how its going to go.


Sunday:
1. Wax the bike.
2. Wash the other half of bathroom
3. Visit grandma
4. Feed Felicia
5. Visit the library
6. Buy blank dvds (dual layer)


The bike is fine. I'm not too bad either. It wasn't really a crash, I simply fell off my bike doing a jump at Gangsa. I nailed the 2 foot but something happened with my 3 foot. Not enough speed or not enough pull up or too much rebound, tts my guess.

By the way I've switched out my 100mm stem for a 70mm one. Made such a huge difference.

Actually I think I scrubbed speed with my front when I should have just dragged the rear. What a noob mistake. That plus the rebound threw me over the bars except that I was going east while the bike was going west. Handle torqued off the stem by 20 degrees or so, no breaks or scratches.

Oh, and apparently Gina is Italian for Queen.

Sweet.
