Need a reason to not vote for Hillary? Here are 100.

Which is scarier, Silence of the Lambs or Canadian PSA’s?

Anyone who would like to come over this weekend and help me paint (by help I mean do it for me while I watch and tell you that you are doing it wrong) give me a shout. I will have a fridge full of beer and possibly some chips. Also I will regale you with tales of how fast I used to be (which is directly related to how many beers I have had up that point) and tell you why your favorite band sucks. Tempting huh?

So no fooling anyone about my fitness thanks to Rachel. Truth is I always feel like I am slow and out of shape. Am I? Honestly I don’t know as I have been not really done any hard rides with anyone yet. All my hard days have been solo so far. I know Slohran is scared to ride with me, that is typical.

The house project. That place is like a damn onion. Everytime I think I am done with something I find another layer that needs work. At the rate I am going it should be ready to rent by Christmas. I need to find a way to get a crew from Habitat for Humanity to come knock it all out in a weekend. Come on former Mr. President Carter, I always defend you. Train needs to ride!

I can only hope that they are tracking who is actually voting for Hillary for the purposes of stripping them of their right to vote. Seriously is it possible for her to open her mouth without lying? Check this. I don’t know but if I was ever under sniper fire I think I would remember the details of that.

Man, I don’t know what is going to happen with my race season. Training has been decidedly un Big Ring as of late. My tenants decided to move back to the trailer park in Idaho without telling (or paying rent for March) me. That equates to a lot of work for me (and Rachel) to clean it up and get it ready to rent and that equates to no bike time for me. Oh well, that is what I signed on for when I bought a rental property and added the title landlord. Anyway back to the race season. As far as the ICUP races, given my lack of miles (and abundance of weight), I think I will be racing 40+ Expert. Also I am a cheap bastard and I don’t want to pay an extra $10 to race “Pro”, I can go ride another lap for free if I really want to. Road, who knows? I still have not gotten around to taking the knobbies off, I might keep them on for Hell of the North. Hell, I might just keep ‘em on all season. A cross bike will soon be overkill anyway on the Shoreline Trail if they continue dumbing it down at the current rate.

My plan is to sell a bunch of people something they can in no way, shape, or form afford. Pay myself a phone number sized salary. Then when the bottom falls out (like I knew it would) I will go to Uncle Sam with my hand out and get the final pay off for my government approved, tax payer funded Ponzi scheme. Pretty frickin’ sweet huh?

Go back to sleep America, your government is in control. We now return you to American Idol already in progress.

I can only hope in a parallel universe the entire Bush Crime Family is on a chain gang and Ben Bernake is failing Econ 101 at Rick’s College for the 10th time.

Ok so thing are pretty damn good for me at the moment ,BUT I do have a few things that I need to get off my chest.

Hillary: What a manipilative C U next Tuesday. She is losing the popular vote, has fewer delegates, and has won fewer states, yet she has the balls to offer Obama the vice presidency? Damn, next time I get dropped (ie, next race) maybe I should radio up to the break and offer them a chance to wait up so they sprint for 2nd behind me?

Elliot Spitzer: Why is anyone surprised that a guy named Elliot has to pay for sex?

I-80: Sweet Jesus in a rental car, who is in charge of that project? First they close the 700E on ramp. Bad. Now they close the 700 E off ramp. Worse. Trust me do not drive through 2100 So in Sugarhouse, it is a sump for all that diverted traffic and attracts bad drivers like bribes attract our state legislators.

Florida Voting: First, Jeb (grandson of Hitlers banker, Prescott Bush) of the Bush Crime Family helps his idiot brother “win” his first presidency in 2000. Then in 2004 they “lost” absentee votes, ballot machines did not work, and exit poll numbers were no where near the final results. You would think they could get it right for this year primaries right? Wrong!

Other than that though, sun is out and spring is teasing us with the promise of riding in shorts soon.

As predicted The Railbenders wowed the 801. This was the first time they have ever played Utah and judging by the crowd response and talking to the guitar player after I would say they will be back.

The Supersuckers bill themselves as the greatest rock and roll band in the world. They may be right. The highlight for me was either their cover of Thin Lizzy “Jailbreak” or their tune “Born with a Tail”.

Thanks Flahute for coming out and making the scene last night.More pics can he found HERE
