I feel bad that after 4-5 good days (including a visit from Aimee and Chris and our 2nd anniversary) I'm writing right now in a pretty crappy mood.

Last night I went out to ship some things I had sold on ebay. On the way back I heard a weird brushing-type sound from my left front tire. I just wanted to get home so I could take a look at it since it was 10pm and there wasn't really anywhere to stop. Of course, once I was SURE my tire was going flat I was just about to go up a hill about 10 minutes from home. I drove and drove, hearing worse noises from my tire as I went on. At the point where I was driving on the rim I was able to turn right at a stoplight onto a side-street.

Yeap, it was on the rim. And worse, the tire was totally shredded. I don't know how it happened...I didn't notice anything jarring until I heard the brushing noise. Of course, there's nothing like Florida idiots blowing by you as you're changing a tire on a hot, humid, weekday night. Some idiot didn't even get into the other lane all the way while passing me...not that there was ANY other traffic around for him to avoid. Idiot.

So I get back home, my knees killing me from having to kneel in the street, I took a shower and got ready to go to bed. I went out to get a pillow that was on the chair and banged my left knee on our coffee table giving myself a nice bleeding gash that still hurts right now. Good times.

We're going to the Yankees/Devil Rays game tonight. The Cubs won last night so they are 1-1 in the MHBOOTT* era. I got a nice Cubs jersey from Court for our anniversary and she liked the thing I got her so that's good.

Thats funny, I called Joe yesterday when I landed and he said he was just leaving from Florida and that he had some unfinished business to take care.

As for the hat..your own fault. Who doesn't take off a hat when the get on a ride that accelerates up 55mph on a outdoor track.

i still tihnk they could eventually get it back for you. and what was that one post about some chick hitting you? you guys were in an accident?

Court called the lost and found the other day and they didn't have it. I also checked that day.

Nobody hit me, but some stupid woman came pretty close.

Tomorrow it's suppose to be like 100 or higher with the humidity -- too bad there's not an Epcot in Illinois so that I can go and walk around the countries.... Whose CRAZY idea was that anyway???

Hold on, let me get the contract out. Here we go, I Aimee, can crab all I want but if its over 100 degrees we are are not walking around the countries.

Who says teachers are supposed to be smart?

If I remember the day correctly - no one was verbally against following my suggestions...Maybe we need to regroup family!

Fine, but lets get off to the side and let Rich go wipe the drip off of his balls. Never leave home without putting on the GB powder.

Rich said...

No, we're going off to the side because smokey the 'bear' (heh heh) has to go poison himself again!

Well maybe we should all ask "Knee-Knee" how she thinks that day went. I think she was the only one who was ready to go to another park after Epcot. You know the next time we all go to Epcot and it's like 105 with the heat index - I think we should rent bubbles and be like the moron in France. Who really cares about a mime in a bubble? Is that what they consider 'interesting to watch?'

I think I'm going to adopt aimee's contract for myself, except I'm swapping out '100' for '80'.
