a brief hiatus explained

i moved.

but now things are up and running again. i see my last post / whine-fest was all about gears allegedly sucking. they still suck, but now i have a new rear derailleur and shifters and fork, and the mtn bike is fun to ride again.

other than that, i now live with kim, and bomber (for the few of you who may not know, bomber = big blue great dane). yerke moves in this weekend. good stuff. new place is fun.

on the riding front, i've been doing exactly that. although not quite as much as i'd like.

i gots me a cell phone. i joined the ranks. once upon a time i said i didn't like 'em. then i said i was jealous of them, but didn't want a land line and a cell. now i have one...i love it. so, that's settled.
