Big ideas
Tue 03rd Oct '06
Tracy and I rode 26km today... I'm not sure who's big idea this was, but we rode out and looked at Mum's alpacas (the Al Pacinos) and seemed to just keep riding. When we got to the Al Pacinos (4km) we decided we could go on out to Strontian Park. By the time we got to Strontian Park we had ridden 11km, and our backsides were sore as hell. We decided we had gone far enough. Had we turned for home from there, we'd have ridden 22km by the time we got home. But somehow we figured that going home via Southgate should not be any further, so instead of heading home the way we came, we headed out to Southgate. This added 4km according to the trip computer on my bike, but our backsides assure us it was a hell of a lot further! When we got home we had ridden for 1h 40m, survived 3 maggie attacks, covering 26km at an average of about 16km/h and converted 4 innocent bum-cheeks to mush. Including bum-numb stops, we were gone well over three hours, so much for our leisurely ride to meet the Al Pacinos!
It looks as if I will be flying out to Kuala Lumpur for a day or two later this month. I hope to secure a deal which could open up an international market for the web software me & the team have developed. We should be heading out around the 21st of this month. Hopefully this big idea will pay off, and hopefully my bum will have recovered so I can sit for whole flight...
My idea to put my guitar and amp on eBay certainly paid off, it sold first time. No worries! Now I can get an acoustic guitar of my own and hopefully do some more playing. I might even have a few $ left over to put towards the electric go-kart I am hoping to build for the kids in time for christmas.
Tracy and I are over the moon that the West Coast Eagles won the footy final. If you are a Brisbanite, congrats on the NRL Fooball result. Catch you guys soon - I'll be there this weekend. By the way you lot, I heard QLDers can't tell the difference between a 2005 AFL final and a 2006 AFL final - next time turn on the live telecast rather than last years replay you bloody duffas! It's any wonder you guys follow NRL... they pass backwards to go forwards! Turn on the discovery channel next time!
Take care. Bum is too sore to continue.
