Good progress on the beetle today. Front suspension is fixed and straight. Got some of the bent metal back in place. Now it is off to the body guy and painter. Have all the parts ready to go but the front bumper cover. It should be here monday. Don't want to hurry too much. She really doesn't need the car back till she can find a job...

jeez, does anyone ride bikes anymore? The blogs have been pretty dull as of late. Must be that everyone is riding so much that there is no time to blog!

I'm stuck in Denver for work. Weather is amazing today...mountains are so sweet. i could wake up to this view everyday with no problem. To bad no one is hiring and i can't leave anyway. Besides, if i'm getting hurt this much in nebraska, imagine how it would be here....

Bummed that i found a conure like the one the passed away a few years ago out here and i have no way to get him back.... I want a new Milo....

Well, had some good news today. The ankle is completely healed and no new fractures. He said the pain is from hitting it at the top of the plate and probably the blood thinners. Only have to wear the boot while riding or lifting heavy weights. Woohoo!

On the down note, he said with the clots i had it would be a miracle if i was off the thinners in less than 6 months. Evidently they have me a lil thin. Got a bloody nose this morning and it looked like a murder scene in 30 seconds. Had to hop in the shower till it quit... Going in for a re-check tomorrow. Hope it's over soon...



Here's the new summer beastie. With kid 2 ready anytime for her license and kid 1 not far behind, i figured i better get some wheels for me. Not bad for a $300 beater. Just hope the weather turns soon so i can take it for a spin and make sure all is good with it. Trying to get a bike rack i picked up from a buddy to fit but evidently they changed the crossbars between a 05 and a 99 impreza. They mounts are kinda narrow and i'm nervous that they might pull thru. Anyone have experience with Saris racks? Tech supports says they are all the same...

Ugh, time to go to the store....
