revirberate

checks are in the mail, car work is scheduled, and it looks like i'll have a replacement bike on saturday. vince is giving me a pretty nice price on a epic marathon from 2004. i have a slight concern about the fork seals after sitting for so long, but when you compare risk/rewards it's becoming a no brainer in my mind. worst case scenerio is that is have the fork serviced for 150 bucks in a year or so. everything else on the bike is what i wanted going in, all for about a 1000 less than i was going to spend. i'm waiting on numbers for another bike, but i'll most likely go with the 2004.

this weather is killing me. i get done with work and as soon as i walk out the door it thunderstorms. it stopped for a bit but started up again as soon as i started riding...i ended up doing laps around hawks landing for around an hour...until it really started pouring. better than nothing but not what i was hoping for volume wise. it's supposed to thunderstorm this aft as well, hopefully earlier rather than later.

puppy class #2 last night. oliver was good until the last 5 minutes...it's almost as if he gets bored with training and just wants to play with the other dogs. he was really humping the first couple minutes of free play time...so much so that the trainer lady made him have a time out. but after the time out he played nicely...and begged other people for some treats. he is a good dog.
