Day Off?

It's Sunday, the 29th of July, 2012.

What just past was another in a long series of Blitz weeks. 

I can't even begin, but here are some of the lowlights:

Dealing with U Haul.  One word to sum that up... nightmarish!

Yard sales.

Deadlines.

Sore back.

Sore neck.

Pretty much everything south of the eyebrows, sore.


Some of the highlights:

Setting the cruise control at 90 kph and leaving it there until the outskirts of Leduc.

16.9 MPG!  Buying that cheap diagnostic tool and changing an O2 sensor seems to have done the trick.

Seeing Liz and family a last time.

Visit with my old buddy John Metcalfe at his home in Devon.

The drive back at 90 kph on cruise.

Watching the Moto GP qualifier from Laguna Seca last night

Then there is today, Sunday, the last of it's kind in Calgary...

I'm determined somehow, against all odds, to "take the day off today."

Yup, you got that right, with a million things left to do, I plan on doing none of them today.

 

On my agenda... a walk, a regular meal, and the afternoon running of the race.  Jorge Lorenzo is dominating this season while Casey Stoner, during his last year of racing, is bitter and done.  He is still an amazing rider, but listening to his brief interview after qualifying was over, criticizing fellow competitors (understandably for their level of riding) is unbecoming of a true champion. Sometimes the best thing to do, is call it quits.  Know when to move on.

I am moving on...
