Dognuts

So my car is being funky and Manz offered to take it to the shop and look at it. To get him the car I will drive to work. Time ~#3. As I make it to the Ashby on ramp I here thud thud thud thud thud thud. What the heck?!? A flat!?!? Bummer fest.

A magic tow truck appeared even though I didn't call and wasn't really on the highway yet and he said he would fix my flat. "No" I said, "I don't have insurance, I'll do it or have my friend do it"

"I'll just do it for you"

"But I don't want to pay so I'll just do it"

"I'll do it for you, we're supposed to do it for you free"

"Who are you with? What is this?"

"CA state highway department"

"ok, go right ahead"

So he fixed my flat for free, I tried to tip him, he said he couldn't accept tips, I said ok, he asked me what i was doing saturday or sunday....what the heck?


I got a donut on my car. I'm sticking to bikes.

Reverse treaded

So instead of taking the usual route home I decided to take my regular route in...home. Uhhh...I reversed the curse. I realized why I go the way I do. I almost needed to walk up some of the hills. It was hecka hella california steep.


part two
as i was in the grocery store today i saw moms and babies and grocery store employees. I thought it hilarious to ask the employees where I can find the babies. The refrigerated section?

part three
oh my geeeez. I'm on my NEW to me computer!!! I traded Man-beez $20 or half of our bill at dinner for this computer!! Jawesome. It came with free food!!

part 4
Man-beez and I have been frequenting the missouri lounge. move over locker room! theres a new dive bar in town.

Hells Jamezels

On my bruise: "Hell I've hit guys with bats and 2x4's and haven't given them bruises like that...you're tough"

Drinking coffee like it's going out of style

That's right. I've been drinking coffee like it's going out of style. It is. I've almost cut out caffiene. I want addiction free life. Yessssssss.

On a second note, more descrete, I fell off of my bike on Friday and have some serious contusions. It was my fault. I didn't see the dam cable/rope style fence and it clotheslined my bike. It was night, a single silver line, no reflection. The thing is, since I was riding just across a street and then stopping I didn't wear a helmet. And the other thing is 1 out of 3 times I don't wear a helmet while riding I crash. I'm never doing it again. Maybe I'll post a picture. It's sick.

Visitron

Mom and Colleen visited last weekend.

We went to the botanical garden.


We went hiking in Marin County.


A bunch more stuff I have pictures of too but am too lazy to post or write about.

On another note, yesterday was bike to work day... or as I like to think of it, a work day. For riding to work I got a free stylish hand bag, tire levers, patch kit, food, clif bars, A BURRITO!! and prolly some more stuff. During lunch I played basketball for 40 minutes then I rode home (beautiful sunny California, 4 + hours on the bike) after having to taste a bunch of food. My job/life rules.

Welcome to Berkeley

I was JRA (just riding along) and I came across this gem. Welcome to Berkeley. Bizerkeley.

Four easy payments

Yup. My first offer. It was rather uncomfortable. I took a cab home and the cab driver didn't hit the fare tracker. I was skeptical. Even more when he asked me for my number. Actually, even more when he asked me to go home with him. In fact, it was when he offered me money that I started wondering if I was going to make it out of the cab. I did. So did he. He asked for a hug. I refused again. I waited outside for him to leave so he wouldn't see my door. I started walking before he left. And I only took the cab for my friends sake. Next time I walk.
