Went out in the TR today - "Dang that is a sweet ride" you might say and then i would say "hell yeah it is" and then you would say "awesome" and then i would say "you are like so jealous" and then you would say "you would never say that" and then i would say "yeap sorry but dang that was a sweet ride!"

So welcome back

So what has been happening since may:-

I've been at work (thats been most of the time!), i'm cycling to work everyday, i've had a promotion and a pay rise (Harrah!), I've just had loads of work dumped onto me, Thursday and Friday (harroo). Its been so long since the last post y'all probably don't even know where I'm working, well... I'm working for Mars drinks (the drinks part of Mars, the chocolate company) in R&D, all classified work sorry, no seriously it is!

The folks have bought a rowing machine so i have been rowing

I've started running and swimming again and am now working towards my first triathlon

Naz put me onto the Flight of the Conchords - a comdey duo from Kewi Land:
check them out



I've completed, Unreal II, Warcraft III, have almost completed Doom 3 and Pharaoh and am currently addicted to Roller Coaster Tycoon.

I've read The Communist Manifesto, Catch 22, The First Men in the Moon by H.G Wells
(very good) and Birds of Prey by Wilbur Smith (even better), more Tintin and Hero Bear and the Kid - The inheritance, again - great graphic novel.

I've watched seasons 3 though 5 of 24, numerous films, some good and some bad (some really bad, no names mentioned - the Bunker). Various seasons, some new some old, seasons 6 and 7 of the West Wing (both very good) and the first episode of Studio 60 on the sunset strip (premiered on British TV Thursday evening), (I have a felling its going to be good!

I've sold my first thing on Ebay - the old mini engine which I had almost finished rebuilding went to a good home, more money - Harrah!

I waxed my snowboard last weekend which I've been meaning to do since April, still no news from Lake Louise - so continue to wait I shall!

I've been creating computer models for Lou and Lou's brother Dan (Lou - I must send them to you so you so I can get some feed back!)

I've rebuilt my mountain bike so it now works - always helpful!

I think I might have an idea for the comic strip I want to write - just need to iron out some details - well most of them actually and then draw it!

I've been kayaking with Jim down the Basingstoke canal - its a lot more pleasant than it sounds, it felt a lot better than when we went out in December, probably because I didn't fall into the water... in December. And we also stopped for lunch at a Pub on the canal, that was a first for both of us.

Its been raining

And then it been raining some more

Oh is that the sun - nope, then more rain.

Today however is really rather good.

I'm going out (hopefully) in the TR6 for the first time this weekend since I've been put on the insurance - we were meant to take it to the TR international show last weekend but it was being held at a show ground in the west country - which may or may not have been under water.

So i think that brings us up to speed. hopefully the next post will be before November!

Peace
