I’ve got 60 miles to go to hit my goal. I was going to hit up the NCR today and do twenty, but I got lazy and just rode 7 on the trainer in the basement.

Then I cleaned the bike, got a crapload of gunk out of the rear wheel and gears, partially disassembled the rear derailleur and de-gunked that. I need to learn how to adjust derailleurs. I think my shifting woes would go away with a good overhaul and adjustment.

Either that or I’m going to drop it off at a shop for said work once I hit 1,000.

Tomorrow I’m going to bottle the “beer” that has been “brewing” in the Mr. Beer plastic tank that Jen’s aunt got me last year. Should be interesting to see what it ends up tasting like. I ordered a 15 buck capping system that’s pretty fun to play with a couple weeks back and I’ve been collecting bottles.

Oh, today was the first of my 11 days off from work. What an f’ing relief to be away from the madhouse for a while. I’m taking 40 hours of vacation and I’ll still be carrying over 18 hours into 2008. Can we conclude that I work too hard?

Plans for the next 10 days? Riding. Waiting for my bro’s baby boy to be born. Oh, and I might dive in and re-read The Sword of Shannara.

Yup, you heard me right. I know, it’s goofy, but I loved the book when I was in the 9th grade or whenever it was that I read it. I need some light reading. Elves and all that crap…

I was reading Number 9 Dream by David Mitchell, but damned if I don’t think it isn’t nearly as good as Ghostwritten. Poo, I’m disappointed.
