....or the Tale of Fatty McButterPants.
Good Morning!!
It was a fantastic weekend around here. After work on Friday, I hauled our dryer out of its cubbyhole downstairs and took it to the shop to get a new bearing put on the drum and to get the timer fixed since it was still under warranty. Instead of messing with a temporary replacement, he just switched my dryer out with a newer one and said "keep it." Score. I had enough time to slide by the bike shop and pick up a new front tire with the time saved.
Saturday, I planned a super-early ride with the dog...aka Fatty McButterPants. Colin, however, had different plans and woke up at 1am ready to party. I hung out with him until around 3:30am and he was ready to hit the crib again....me too. Obviously my early morning ride didn't go off as planned so later on in the morning, I got my shot at it. Well, Mr. McButterpants hasn't been out on the trail much since Colin was born, and was very much out of shape. We were stopping for water breaks for him every 1/8 mile. We made it out as far as two mile rock before he staged a coup, and decided he had gone far enough. It was a long, slow trip back to the truck as every couple hundred yards was paused with a water break and much doggie-acting on his part. We got home and I've never seen a dog move so fast to get to the couch.....I was like "where the hell was that speed today?"
Tom Petty was awesome Saturday night. Great show....the band was incredibly tight and I got a hell of a contact high from somebody behind us smoking some of what I can only describe as government-engineered doodoo bud. Holy cow......I hope they remembered where they parked their car....
Sunday I was able to get back out to the trail minus Fatty McButterpants and cruised around for a few hours and had a great time. When I got home, Mr. McButterpants was happy I hadn't asked him to go.

That one rattled me for a few minutes. But I shook it off, reloaded, and hit it properly.
