Mountain Rex's First Big Adventure!

Took Mountain Rex on his first ride to Walmart.  We got splashed by a big truck, then MR decided, "Hey!  Let's just splash ourselves!" as we rode through a deep pool of cold water on the road.  Needless to say, it was an interesting ride.

The best part about the 23 mile trip was having awesome suspension.  Next, would be my right knee not hurting.  I've never had a trip in yet where I didn't think my right knee would be shredded.  Quite a few people who ride bent bikes all have the same problem - trying to find the right way to pedal without our knees hurting.  So far, I've not mastered it.

On the downside, that bloody seat on the mountain bike, even with the new gel cover, is nothing short of brutal.   It was ok for the first 12 miles, but after that it was hell on earth getting back.

All in all, though, it was a great trip.  I could ride as aggressively as I wanted without worrying about killing the bike, and I got to enjoy getting out of the cottage after days of rain, and countless hours at the computer hammering out my nanowrimo novel, which got done 8 days ahead of time.

Total miles so far this month: 102.22.

Land of the Missing Balls..coming to a cat near you.

Poor Jeff is sitting at the vets having his balls zapped. I felt so bad leaving him off and hearing him cry as they carried him away - I nearly grabbed him and ran for it.

But! I was sick of him peeing (spraying) on my seforim (Torah books), my sink, tub, dishes, my pants leg, bed, walls, futon, Avon boxes, desk, file cabinet, everything in the closet and bedroom, etc., so he had to stay.

I'm supposed to pick him up at 3:00. He's going to hate me when he leans back to lick his balls and they're gone. Bindi will probably laugh at him, the girls will squeal with glee and I'll be happy knowing my house won't stink anymore. Well, except for the deer skull and leg bones I brought down.

Anyway! I'm off to get a little time on the hill. I'm hoping to finish my debris hut today. :] There's an update at Wrinkle World. It tells a little about my adventure yesterday. I'll be putting an update at the Pelican later. I have some pics I want to post. :]

Have a great one!
