Rode my new bike out to my brother's place to see the baby with family. I didn't think babies were so lively, like two days after blasting out, this one was all over the shop. Then my brother tried out my bike and was all popping wheelies while wearing thongs on clipless pedals and I'm like "man I suck"
Bike owns though, need some off-road, zipping over gutters & through crappy streetside gardens don't cut it.
Might pop it in the back of my car on the weekend and go somewhere to ride around. might also drop into the cycle shop and get the dérailleur aligned properly, they definitely futzed that up. Bit of a creak in there somewhere too, could be a loose crank maybe?
I'm paranoid I guess.
Also I probably have the wrong priorities.

Time to go on my usual Monday afternoon bike ride!
Except the wind is like, cyclonic, and my usual route is on fire.
...Think I'll skip todays then.

Ended up walking the dog.

God I had the worst headache this morning, it was on and off sunday after starting saturday night, but ugh.
I've drunk like, eight litres of water with a couple of litres of gatorade in there so far, I swear. Seems to be working, got the fan cranked up and a wet tea towel wrapped around my neck.

Seriously, I can't even remember, but I was tidying up and there they were in a bag.

30km this afternoon on the bike, making for 100km since Saturday, which is probably the most I've ridden across five days. Still have some numbness in my hand which is annoying, I adjusted my seat position to be a bit more flat to try and take the pressure off, moving my riding position a bit back, but that just gave me plumbers crack & a numb dilz instead. Thought I only adjusted it a notch, but I'll see if there's an in-between I can set it too. Tonnes of birds this afternoon, I must have seen a dozen bush turkeys (a lot of juveniles too, must have finished the breeding season), flocks of galahs, white cockatoos and even a flock of black cockatoos, those guys are huge. Also a single swamp pheasant and the usual bunch of rabbits.
Came home and ended up doing phone tech support for the neighbour, probably a dud driver fixed by a system restore, either that or a virus, got him to update AVG and run a scan in case.
I did also get a call yesterday from the mob I ordered the new bike from, he said he was able to chase one down by pulling in a few favours, so I should have it by the weekend. Now I just gotta find some bush tracks around here (since I don't want to have to go to Nerang State Forest / Nightcap National Park every weekend).
Overall I think I am seeing improvements in my riding, I don't have to dismount anywhere on my route to get up hills like I used to, and bits where I was totally buggered before I recover a lot quicker from. Still don't have the hang of standing up to power on, I kinda scrunch up or something in the wrong position I think, and my legs just go ~fffft~.
Oh well.

I put a deposit on a new Gary Fisher X-Caliber, then I rode 40km, then a guy with a fishing rod wearing a snorkel mask told me I was an idiot not for getting a dual-suspension Norco Fluid instead.
I think I overdid the riding, two fingers on my right hand are still numb, I'm hanging onto that handlebar too hard or something, and my knee hurts (though it hurt before, then stopped after, then started up again)
Also I need to get better at hills.

I hate this feeling, I should do something on sunday.

Instead I start fantasising about a kebab instead :(
Also what did I do this weekend?
1. played a bunch of DJ Hero until when I brushed my Teeth it sounded like a record scratch.
2. Played a bunch of Dragon Age, up to dwarftown now!
3. Went for a swim 'cause it was so god-damn hot, took the dog too, stuck her on a floaty boogy-board with mixed results and paddled around.

Dude on TV at theatrical prop auction (news item) "Hmm, yes, I shall accessorise this tweed suit with some retro-technological accessories, some cogs and some brass perhaps? :smug: " THEY'RE SPREADING.
Man I should have paid more attention, maybe it was Oakenshield. 
ALSO
I did some shopping, got some board shorts, Big Trouble in Little China on Blu-Ray, and DJ hero, since target had it on sale for $20 cheaper than JB hifi.
Crossfading is hard.
Additionally I saw something really weird, outside a jewelry shop, a woman in a diamond bikini next to a classical quartet playing Mozart?
Wonder what that was about.


Also god-dammit they forgot to unlock this blu-ray, and they changed the locking mechanism so you need more powerful magnets.
Update: Found more powerful magnets.

Old Spock was in both of them! 
I was all , what folding ninja swords? with Star Trek but it turned out to be pretty good.
Also I think I might be stopping breathing during sleep, sounds bad.
Also I saw a dolphin in the river at work. A DOLPHIN!
