Elizabeth and I went to Carlmont yesterday with only a few whimpers from her. I hadn't ridden my Turner DHR since beginning of August at Kirkwood. I was going to ride it last time we went to Carlmont but the swingarm pivot was loose and to tighten it you have to take off the crankarm and chainguide. I finally got around to it and tightened the bolt and also drilled/filed out a notch that enables me to reach the bolt without taking off the crankarm and chainguide. Anyway we get to Carlmont and the ground is wetter than I expected. Actually now that i think about it only two spots that had puddles but of course one of them was before rocky and bullwinkle. It was more like 3-4 wet mud spots in a row. Not to bad but it would splatter up into my face and onto me. We went to the top and rode up there. There was a puddle in front of Elizabeths jump that she does though. She caught a little bit of air anyways though. I got used to the Turner really quick and was able to jump the first jump then go back up and do two and then go back up and do three. I took a look at the drop where i ate shit a long time ago on my Cheeta. I think I will do it I just need Isaac or Taylor or somebody there to go down it first. I didn't do anything cool but I had fun nonetheless. elizabeth took a long look at some short section and finally went down it. At least she went down it 4 or 5 times. She also went down some long straight section at the bottom that had some 8'' drop that she said ''oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck'' on. She went straight down the section at the very end to the gate without stopping so that was cool.
Then we get home and later on I try and get my ipod to work and get some songs onto it. What a pain in the ass this is. I tried the other night with even lesser success. I ended up just deleting all my songs last night and trying to start over. Yeah that didn't work. So now i have an ipod that has zero songs on it. At least I got the computer to recognize that it has an ipod in it. What a pain. I thought it would be way more easier.
I think I wrote a lot. I have time to write for once since I am using Elizabeths computer and not the one at work during my break.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
