It has been a busy couple of weeks… Several birthdays (including mine!), The
World Cup, an episode of food poisoning, overseas clients coming in to visit at
work to mention a few. Let me tell you that this blog isn't the only thing that
was ignored.
Big baby actually had cob webs all over her! On top of that
the Volty needed a few adjustments after I got new tires for it week before
last. Even after the second adjustments it’s still making noise, mainly the
chain (properly lubed). Either it wasn't tightened enough the second time or
some deeper problem …. Whatever it is the performance of the Volty has taken a
hit. 'The Mechanic' is busy these days since he’s rebuilding a 400cc Honda from
the ground up.
Rode Big Baby to Negombo for the first time two weeks ago, but
didn’t take the scenic canal road (written about in my earlier post) but the
airport road instead. They are still resurfacing it so it is a bit annoying to
ride on. Also way more traffic than canal road. But Big Baby was a dream to
ride as always. And got there 15 minutes earlier than when I did the same route
on the Volty. But the riding position is a bit uncomfortable on Big Baby compared
to the Volty, especially for long rides, but not much to complain about other than
a few cramped biceps, which you can live with.
But back to the reasons why I haven’t been on the blog in a
few weeks. There hasn't been enough time in the day; to cook for and feed two
dogs, wash and iron office clothes, feed ourselves, get in a few episodes of
whatever we are watching these days. There is help from all around to do all
those things, but I’m so tired and feel like I haven’t rested in a month.
Of course there was enough time in between for some levity, as can
be witnessed below….
My friend posted a picture of his son on FB..
Soon my son, soon!
My post followed...
Soon my puppy, soon!
(For anyone in Canberra they are selling that Kawasaki Z750!)
But of course these are all excuses, and just having turned
30 it sounds more ridiculous…. I’m actually loving it being 30 years old. At 30
you aren't old enough to actually feel old, but not young and broke like in
your the 20’s. You have a bit of money to have fun, and you are mature enough not
to do stupid things but young enough to do them once in a while. It’s awesome!
I can’t Imagine though what it must be like for my friend who
has another kid other than the one on the Kawasaki, and he’s only like 26 year
old or something! He is a flying instructor though, so I guess he has that! Hehehe…
Well that should be enough for now…. Maybe I should make
this a photo blog! XD
Happy belated birthday Spectre.
ReplyDeleteHey I thought you sold the Volty. That 's why you said new add'ition to the stable', huh!
