I "swam" the other night which actually went much better than I expected. All I did was swim once across and stop and then go again. But i did try freestyle which worked but was really tiring. I will have to try it some more.

I bought a video camera a week or two ago and have already lost it somewhere at UCSC trails I guess. Not sure what happened to it but I know I don't have it because I searched like crazy for it. Oh well, not something worth replacing at least.

Trails at UCSC are really fun. Found a trail with some big wood ladder drop to crappy landing. It might be dead campers, probably is.

My truck is being a pain in the butt to start sometimes which has me worrying.

This is really boring.

makes sense to me

shouldn't you post on the days you're not being an idiot, just so you can remember those too?

I guess i really am an idiot. too many reasons. idiot probably isn't the right word but i don't want to try and think of all the other words to describe myself.

biking news:

rode jump trail on saturday morning and crashed scraping my left wrist area pretty good.

went to mclaren park in sf and watched cyclocross. it was really boring being by myself at first but then i thought what else am i going to do and just tried to enjoy being at a bike race and it worked. i had fun overall. i had my videocamera so it gave me something to do.

just thought i should post today so i know when i screwed up the biggest.

truing the wheel

You were standing over your bike stand today
spinning the back wheel of your cheetah, testing the brakes.

Spin, then tighten.

Spin, then loosen.

Trying to get it just perfect.

You had your sleeve pushed up past your elbow, one hand resting on the brake as you squeezed the brake lever

and I wanted to say to you

right at that moment

I love you.
