Not Much Happening

First, I just saw the Chicago cyclocross schedule is up.

Not much exciting happening. Been cleaning up the basement. It's pretty musty down there now. I have some fans running and a dehumidifier too. I read on the internet to place a few cups of vinegar down there. So I did that last night. Hope it helps.

Rome Around is this weekend. I need to call to make sure the RV is done. We had to get an oil change and had some problems with the brakes. It better be fixed now. We are leaving in a couple of days.

My rear wheel is still in the bike shop. Those slackers are taking forever to replace the bearings on it. I can't complain too much because they have gotten a lot done for me on previous occassions. Including, getting me a new fork in about 2 days so I'd be able to race that weekend.

Cable internet is up, but I'm having problems with my router. Didn't get a chance to pick on up last night like I had planned. I brought Chris to my grandma's to visit. It gave Gina a little break from him. I was about to leave my grandma's and head to Circuit City when she decided that she wanted to hold him some more. Can't really argue with her, so I stayed a little longer. On my way home, I knew I couldn't get to the store by 9pm, so I guess it will have to wait.

Damn Storms

Well the storms the other day were strong enough for my basement to flood. Luckily, we only got a few inches that receeded right away. However, I was lucky (if you can call it that) that I was able to leave work early and clean up the basement. Not exactly how I wanted to spend several hours.

The storms also knocked out our cable internet. Which affects our phone now that we have Vonage. Comcast left us a message on our non-working phone, that service was restored to our area. However, it wasn't. WTF?!?!?! No idea when it will be up.

I NEED A NAP

This little guy has been a lot of work. I took this pic while he was in my arms a week or two ago. I think he started screaming shortly afterwards.

Haven't spent much time on the bike or running. The rain we've been having isn't helping either. Hopefully I get some sort of exercise in soon. I'm going to die if I race.

Maybe I'll remember to pick up my rear wheel this weekend. I needed to get the bearings replaced. It's for my fuel, which is what I'll probably race. The old stumpjumper that I made a ss will kill me if I race on it. Especially if we go to wisconsin rapids. That course it too flat for my 32x16.

Gina found out her maternity leave is shorter than expected when her editor called her last friday. He told her that some HR woman was expecting her to be back to work this past Monday. Luckily, Gina got it extended a couple of weeks with a doctor's note.

Time to go get a couple of things done.
