Happy Zombie Jesus day! Hopefully he won’t see his shadow and winter will be over soon.
OK, I just bought my ticket to hell there, but what the hey?
Regardless, here I am, 5:30 in the morning, sorting out my favorite pounding tracks for inclusion on my beat up iPod shuffle. I’m planning on going on a motorcycle ride tomorrow up in the hills, roads willing, and I wanted something thumping. I’ve been running Debian on my laptop here and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the iPod was reconized when I plugged it in. I rather expected an hour or two of futzing with it before anything worthwhile happened.
I hope to be down in NM soonish to wrap up some house stuff. Email if you are interested in stopping in and I’ll let you know when.
I know there have been no updates in a while, but I just have not felt inspired. I still don’t know the area up here all that well, except for my commute and the few tangents here and there, and it has been driving me nutty. Just the same interstate commute every day. The bike seems to love the 85+mph rides into work most days, though, and my fuel mileage stays firmly above 40MPG for the most part regardless.
Brian sent me this link the other day, and it just made me giggle, repeatedly. Brian also firmly believes that audiophiles are to music what pedophiles are to children, but hey…
Seriously, do any of these items listed make anyone go, “Hey, there is a nugget of truth there, I bet it would work!”?
Just nuts.
So, things seem to be warming up out here, maybe a little. With luck I’ll be on the bike more soon, hopefully with a drastic decrease in my gas bills. The difference between 20MPG and 50MPG is boggling when you drive almost 500 miles a week. I have been riding a bit, and even doing about 80-85 on the interstate, the bike has been clicking off 46-48 MPG. I’ve been debating putting this to work for me once it warms up a bit, maybe delivering pizzas via the bike evenings and weekends, but I worry showing up to a door clad in black with a helmet on might not get me many tips, haha.
