dang tests
Ok, I admit it, I'm an okcupid test junkie. Especially the music
ones. I don't always agree with the results (I am not a
Raver/clubber. Shoot, I don't even know what that is). Ok, I have
to agree with at least part of the results for "Am I a CRAZY bitch"
test. I like the song. Couldn't tell ya why, so don't ask. But a
complete sweetheart? Boy that'd come as a surprise to some of the
guys I've worked with... although the cuzz bucket isn't filling up
nearly as fast these days. lol
I really need to start crocheting or beading or doing puzzles or updating my engine knowledge (for work) or at the least contemplating the lack of lint in my belly button (long standing in joke)...

New beginnings
No matter how much you want something to work, it doesn't always
work out. Then it's time to take a good long, hard look and see
what needs to be changed. And I've made those changes. Another life
lesson learned? I'd have to say yes. I gave it second and third
chances. It just took me that long to realize some people are too
broken to move on. And then it's time for everyone to move on. An
object at rest tends to stay at rest... what about people in bad
ruts? It was over anyway, except for the formalities. I just know
that I don't want to spend my life in that kind of negative rut.
I'm not that type of person. Life is too short for that. I firmly
believe that if we quit learning we quit living. I haven't quit
living, nor do I intend to.
I can ride again!
Took the bike out last night for a short ride per physical
therapists orders. I'm a bit stiff & sore but ok. It's been
months since those muscles were used. The psycological benefits far
out weigh the stiffness.
No problems with posture like I've been having since that idjit rear-ended me. No problems with my neck. I did wonder about the weight of the helmet but that was fine too.
The bike did act up a bit. I know part of that is from sitting for two months. Had to keep the choke out a bit to keep it running. It was bucking and almost cutting out, just not wanting to idle smooth. I doubt it's and idle adjustment issue. Fuel, fire or air... Fuel does need to be run out and replaced with fresh. Fire seemed to be ok and I did replace the spark plug this year. I'll probably pull it just to check it. Not sure about air. I need to find out how to clean the air filter and if it needs anything put on it before reinstall. It's some kind of "wet" filter. If it doesn't tell me in the manual I'll call Ed's Tuesday. (The manual for the bike sucks...but it is the original from '81). The other reason it's acting up may be because she is pouting. Anyone who has spent as much time around vehicles as I have realizes each one has it's own personality as it were. Especially older ones. And she's 27 years old. (Laugh all ya want guys. My baby does not mark her territory. Not one leak.)
I know, I need to build up to longer rides again. But it is so GOOD to be back in the saddle again! I am so happy I may have to do my happy dance again.

Foot-in-mouth
Finally figured out what's been going on...
For the past week I've had a bad case of foot-in-mouth disease. It happens a couple three times a day it seems. And it's just not in speech, it's in writing too. I'm not seeing all the words. Things get muddled for some reason. When I mentioned it to the physical therapist today he asked me which meds the doc had me on due to the wreck. Bingo! That particular medication is no longer on my list. Yeah!!! It means I'm down to flexaril and horse-pill sized ibuprofen.
The other part is just slowing down when reading or listening. The brain is missing key words. So I just have to slow down... but it's hard to do when I've been cooped up this long. Nearly two months. I'm not used to this inactivity. I haven't ben able to really do anything to the point of sweating! (Don't give me that bull about horses sweat, gentlemen perspire and ladies glow.) I can't get dirty with these darn limits set by the doc.
The other really good news to me is that I have been told to get my butt on my bike. Physical therapist told me to try it today. Take it for a short ride and see how I do physically. If I don't feel anything pulling from normal riding then I can get back on the bike for good. As he said, I need it for psychological health. I'm really starting to like this guy. Cager he may be, but he understands what riding means to those of us who ride.
So, to those I may have offended, I apologize. Sincerely and from the bottom of my heart. I never intended offense of any kind. To those who can't understand, forgive or whatever... well, all I can say is, "Bite me". ;)

Somebody spiking my coffee?
Ever have an epiphany? I'm talking hard core, slap you upside the
head, blinding moment when you see something you've misunderstood
or completely missed. I've had three of those and the strongest
case of deja vu ever.
There are most definitely changes happening in my life. Professional as well as personal. I'm seeing so many things in a different light. And while the rose colored glasses are still around, somewhere, I know I'm seeing nearly crystal clear.
I'm fully aware I am rambling. This is more of a note to myself than anything.
