Good evening Folks
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Morning.  Couldn't sleep in.  Gave myself a stroke. 

I looked at the clock, freaking out that I overslept for work and then realized that is was Sunday.  That did not help with me trying to fall back asleep.

Hey, we all do it.  But you don't need to talk about it in public like that.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Good morning, actually woke up early today. I'm going to try and get myself to the gym so I can start undoing this 10 pounds I've gained over the past few months.

Morning ya'll!

We had some issues last night at work. I did my best to help the guys figure out a plan over the phone last night... now to go in and see how things went and pray they actually listened to me.

I couldn't believe it. Dad had just got back from getting the New tyre a NEW tube and put it back on my bike for me.

I come over after work and go to start it up.

The clutch lever is just hanging off !!!!

So we call around a few places to see if anyone has either a new or a spare and nobody does.

So we order one brand new. Meantime - Dad tries the local car scrapping place just up the road and we find one that just about works from a different bike.

I had a little ride tonight but I don't want to go too far. I can wait til the new lever arrives in the post :)

Hopefully that's it for a while now. (yn) :D



Also I checked the tyre pressures and they're both fine but yet I can't get that feeling out of my head that the back tyre is flat since I now know how it feels to be driving around on a soft tyre.

I need to get used to it again.

Yeah I was thinking I should buy a brake lever & a new front tyre just to have them and to save waiting for shipping in the future.

I love a nice cold coca cola after work :)

Oh July 4th. The day when every employee here has to work... and most of them work in the afternoon / evening.



And I get to go home at 3pm and enjoy myself

Fuck yes.

Quick question. Are people generally getting more annoying, or am I just getting less tolerant of people? I could go either way on this. :lol

For me, it's a combination of the two.


I'm looking forward to the short week. We get Friday off, but I'm thinking of ducking out of here at noon on Thursday. I currently don't have a manager and the guy I am reporting to is 1200 miles away with no computer access. I think I'm going to do the most 'Murica thing possible and just leave.

So I'm getting less tolerant because they're getting more annoying? I can work with that.

Are you talking about people here at DTF?

The actual answer is that there has been a wave of new members, and some of them have strange enough opinions that they come off as annoying.

At the same time, you aren't getting any MORE tolerant.

That does include some of the new wave of DTF members, although it's just as much about people's attitude in general bugging me lately.

And of course I'm not getting any MORE tolerant. :lol The best I can hope for at this point is to slow my decline enough so that by the time I'm old and decrepit, I'll have better things to do with my time than sit on my porch shaking my fist at the kids with their being different to my generation.

Hey reap. I went for a LONG drive today. Slowly getting more confident going round corners without slowing down dramatically. Feels so good once you overcome your fear of actually leaning into the corner. :) :)

But as I said before - my bike will go 70 maximum. And I rarely hit that. I just love cruising :)
