YES

Tonight at 5:30 I will be building the Time!!! it will be rideable no later than friday. will post new pics ASAP. Also the lost jacket was at the Bar, good luck.

in our apt complex we have grocery carts that everybody uses to be lazy and take crap from their car to their apt. Last night Mary (the GF) brought up a ton of crap in one of these carts. turns out some lady in 105 left her wallet in the cart. so like a good guy I rummaged through the wallet to find her ID, so I could return it (I didn't know yet it was 105's wallet). there was a ton of cash, and gift cards, and I cursed myself for being such a boyscout, but I returned it will all of the contents left where they were. Makes me have to believe in Karma, otherwise I am just a chump.

Long weekend

Friday night, drank with the Dirk for the count of one, then Mary, Megan, Katy, and friends. Maintained until we hit the car, and I felt the need to feed the inner fat kid! McDonalds, bad idea. in the process of the night I bought maybe 10 drinks at Drink Bar, all of which were on special, and well somehow had a tab of 90+ dollars. Note to self stop opening tabs, you never know what butt nugget is drink off you for free. On top of that I got a new Kavu jacket in the mail friday at about 6pm, and I lost it in uptown by 10pm. GRRR! called the bars, and you can't even get a real person. Tried to get in my car to go to the bar and try and recover the jacket, but the car wouldn't start. Work on car for 3+hours, get it to start, give up on finding jacket. Godless Dave, and Jack Mormon Lance come over for dinner. Mary made awesome lamb! when she does well at a race I eat well that night, awesome! eat Halloween candy we never handed out, and fall asleep early watching new CSI. as neil put it I am Lame, missed Homie Fall Fest because I was hungover, and didn't ride Murphy at night because I was lazy. it is time to redeem myself this week. no drinking, quitting chewing, and going to try and ride everyday I don't work at REI!!!!
