housework sunday

i decided to take yesterday off the bike to wrap up some projects around the house. i managed to get the garage cleaning/orgainizing (phase II) done. then, it was time to focus on the basement. when we moved in we inherited a bunch of scrap building materials...i finally found someone with a saw so i cut it up and jammed it all in our bin. that has been bothering me for 3 years now. i'm also trying to dry out a bunch of old paint so i can throw those out too. man they had some bad colors...the memory of endless hours of painting over there work came back to me in a flood.

anyway, a shade under 8 hours of ride time for the week. that is about where i consistantly want to be so mission accomplished.

i also spent some time switching my brake/shift lever out on the epic. the brake is mounted and operational (no rub!) but i forgot to buy a shift cable on saturday so i'm about 2/3 of the way there. i am getting excited to ride the trails again soon.

last night, we were woken at least 4 different times due to 1) dog, 2) rabbit screeching to its demise in the clutches of an owl 3) thunderstorm and 4) my wife. i guess it is good practice for november. even the dog was beat this morning. lucky for him-he gets to sleep all day. between being tire and it being my wife's birthday, i may not ride tonight. but...tomorrow is tuesday night group ride.

i also start my internship tomorrow.

happy monday.
