Glad I got out for a ride yesterday because it’s pissing down today. Also I am sore. Bruise is pretty huge and swollen, and now I am aware of several other smaller bruises etc. that magically appear overnight. Bruised butt, back of left leg, left thumb. Being old is great.

2. Went to a local kart shop to get a couple of tools and talk with the owner about service cycles and what to do as 'at track maintenance'. We talked about how Haley is Nandini's mentee and he just went crazy talking about everything I needed to do, etc. Also gave me 3 free sets of slightly used tires. They have 20 heat cycles. These have 4 each, so plenty of life left.

In the cleavage of the Tetons
So, it wasn’t remotely a wrap. There were 87 competitors, and 45 or so of them (including most of the organizers) took a pound or five of mushrooms. They hired a few teams of Mexican Wrestlers, a mariachi band, and passed out endless, endless Mezcal and beer. Things got…strange and rowdy, to say the least. When the transvestite wrestlers came out, the place lit up. The party went on for six hours. Super-fucking fun, and just ridiculous, but exhausting as a sober dude. Did have some good gumnies, though. Hopefully I can show some pictures soon.
Did I say ridiculous?

Anybody who used to dive have any weights lying around they'd like to get rid of? Lead is stupid expensive and I need to get weight to Haley's kart, because she's too light. It's like $5/lb and I need ~40-45#

I actually have some lead but I expect shipping to the states would be wild. But anyway what’s more interesting is can you mount this lead really low down to even more keep the c.o.g. ultra-low?

I'm not the whining biatch and have no intention of becoming one, and he does good job otherwise.
Ah if he does a good job than it's different. I usually assume people start whining when they become unmotivated and start working like shit
