there were extra sailings - the 5:30 had half of the main deck empty and the line for Whitespot burger was 10 minutes.

Public service announcement :

I was tired of riding in hot weather and sweating my bag off so I purchased a Leatt cooling vest.

I have to say once you get over the "icky" feeling when you put it on this thing fucking rocks! Charged it before ridding the bike park today and rode 4.5 hours staying cool and relativly sweat free.

but chain reaction doesn't stock it, so I'll have to wait a week.

was jammed this morning - there were a few lines that didn't make the 10:50. And the coffee at the terminal sucked.

Brew Pub ran out of the chili yesterday so I had to go with the lamb burger.

Its been sunny for the last month and I've been out on the bike at least an hour everyday, but I only have one sleevless riding shirt, so I've gotten major farmer tan on my arms. Now I have to walk down to the beach every day, swim out to the raft and sit there staring at sailboats and emerald green mountains to work on my upper and lower arms becoming a more uniform colour.

So my fridge started making weird noises and kicking out. I had the evaporator motor replaced a couple years ago and is seems like the same thing. Stupid thing is only 5 years old.

I have replaced the same part twice already - once on warranty and I paid $450.00 parts and labour the last time.

It would take a week to get the part, and maybe another week to get the guy to come out and fix it. So I did what anyone 1st worlder would do - bought another fridge.

Now I have this kick ass, stainless steel door-stop in my garage. I can replace the part for $250.00 myself. But now I have to decide - fix it, or bin it. If I fix it do I keep it as a beer fridge in my shop or do I sell it to recoup my $250.00? If I keep it will my hippy friends look down on me for having a full size fridge in my shop running fulltime with nothing in it but a six pack? If I fill it to the nuts with beer will I drink to excesses not previously seen (beer is like money- if you don't have it on hand you go through a lot less)?

These decisions are HARD.

Spent most of Sunday up in the attic of my garage - pushing, shoving, bashing and hammering chunks of 2x4 to put some bracing for a ceiling hoist. Now I've got a headache (probably from working in the intense heat) and super sore muscles. Can't decide whether to take 1 or two 500 mg IBU tabs.

Fix the fridge, sell it and use the money to buy still more hard liquor. Chilled watered-down drinks are for pussies.
