Off for the week

I am on vacation this week. Nothing planned really. I rode with The Shed Master and clan yesterday. A special appearance was made by this cat. Tuesday I hit the river trails. The new sections are coming in nicely. Monday I hit the Y . Body Pump, cross-trainer, treadmill.
I threw a tune-up at the Blazer Tuesday, cap, rotor, wires. I also did a brake job on my brothers Honda. I had all the parts here for the tune-up. The brake job I had to go get the parts for. The tune-up took longer, drew blood and raised my blood pressure.
I have been working on cars for many years, here's a couple things I have taken note of:

The Japs use grease and/or anti-seize on the bolts they install, they come apart with ease. The exception to this rule is Russell.

GM has it's own double top secret formula I believe they call Seize-All. One drop of this stuff and you need a smoke-wrench to get a screw out of Styrofoam. And yet, these cars still rattle like one of those pissed off snakes that dead crocodile douche-bag was always monkeyin' with. I don't get it.

Those engineers at GM need to be flogged. If I was to build a crappy car I would at least make it easy to work on. No wonder GM is floundering. On a side note, I have an older Ford Ranger that I trust more than my newer Blazer.

The snow blower dilemma is fixed, I found one on craigslist. 100 bucks, needs a little work. Now that I have one it won't snow. Too all of you I say "You're welcome".

Want to get rid of some junk?

Anybody have a 2-stage snowblower they want to get rid of cheap or not so cheap if it's nice. Let me know. The new garage means more snow removal.

The week in review

It was a good week, 2 night rides and a Saturday morning ride.
Tuesday night I went down to the village and hooked up with the Alterra crew. In attendance were a bunch of Alterra guys, a few Hayes guys, a couple of Team Extreme guys and a Skinny's guy that was sportin' his new firefighter mustache. It was a beautiful night for me to get dropped again, so I did.
Thursday was another beautiful night to get dropped, so I did. During the ride we stopped so Russell could bury his rat in a strange hole.
Friday I went to the Y. I started doing squats and leg presses as I slide into winter mode. The first ones of the season hurt. A couple of weeks of hurt then it'll be all good.
Saturday I did the morning ride from Wheel & Sprocket Hales Corners that leaves at 9:30 am. It was a hard ride, see Friday.

I have writers block. Oh wait, that would be for someone who had something to write about.
I am going to the Badgers game on Saturday. I have never been to a game at Camp Randall. I saw Phil Collins and The Black Crowes there about 12 years ago, that's the only time I have been in that stadium. Anyway,I hear it can get pretty wild so it should be cool.
I have been to the Y a few times. Last trip there I saw Mr. Topheavy. He looks like he could bench press a Buick, but he is standing on what appear to be flesh covered pencils. He also wears the kind of shorts that I have heard referred to as "grape smugglers". I'm certain this guy hangs out at your gym too.
I helped Boooran do some wiring at his house. He hasn't called to say the place burned down or that he can't wipe his ass and hold a flashlight at the same time, so it must be good.
