Weekends Off

  2006-06-03


After a fairly busy week, I am spending a few days getting caught up on stuff here around the apartment. For instance, for the first time in ages, I actually have pedals on my bike. It was quite the scene. Two people holding the bike down and one person giving it everything he had to get the 20 year old rusted nut off. The thing was absolutely screaming. Drew quite the crowd. But at the end of the day, the bike is mostly ready to go again. However, I don' t much feel like repeating that little bit of fun. I spent last weekend and the beginning of the week travelling from one end of the province til the other. IT was mighty exhausting, but I think by this Saturday I managed to come back completely. Just in time to take off on Monday for Grand Prairie and Peace River again. And then down to Lethbridge I think by Wednesday. I think I am better prepared now though. I picked up a thermos for $20 so I can have my coffee in the truck. All in all, the summer is moving by pretty fast. The experiments are starting to kick in, and we actually might start collecting data in a couple weeks. The tickets, rental, and room are booked for a trip to San Francisco in July. By that time I think I am going to be in need of a decent little vacation. It'll be good to get out of the province for a little while if nothing else. And it' s been years since I was on a decent beach. For that reason alone, I am looking forward to this. In any case, more than time to get to bed. Tomorrow is another busy day.
