what an effen weekend. nothing all too exciting though. wine tasting and a great dinner at eno vino friday night. great food and company. when we got home at around 10.30 showtime was showing pulp fiction. what a great movie. i watched the whole segment where vincent takes mia to the burger joint. then i had to go to sleep due to the impending ride...
saturday started with a headache and 60 slow miles on the road. the 100k loop of the horribly hilly hundred to be exact. we got lost once so we had to cut some of the loop. still got over 5000 vertical feet though. a great base ride to be sure. speaking of base, only 1 more week to go. i felt pretty damn good about myself until i remembered that i only rode the distance pat runs in ultra races. crazy.
after the ride, i ate a quick lunch and slurped a quick coffee and the real fun began. the basement needed priming/texturing and we were up to the task. did all the walls on saturday...i cut and robin rolled. it turned out better than we anticipated but it was also more work than we thought it would be (suprise, surpise). sunday we did the ceilings with texture and then painted the ceiling in the staircase. it looks great. but more work to be done. we've also decided on colors. all in all a great weekend. one more week/weekend of hard work on the house and we should have the basement finished...sweet.
robin went to rowing this morning. she is one hell of a lady...she had to get up at 4:50a to be there on time. with the time change yesterday that's early as hell. i'm wasted and i got up a 5:30a. starbucks is yelling my name but i'm trying to quit.
most importantly: brewers home opener. i was on the phone with ron last night debating buying tickets on ebay. with the 28mph sustained winds (45 mph gusts)we decided tailgating would be a bust and not worth paying 3x face value for upperdeck tickets behind home plate. odds are i'll be home by 1pm to watch the game from the comfort of my couch. GO BREWERS!
