Protected: Airport Experience: Thursday Night [ go ]
M m m and Kate! [ go ]
Well, since Kate decided she was only going to eat eggs this week because the hospital screwed up her paycheck; I decided I was goign to take her out this week. And let’s see here, went out with her on Tuesday for some AMAZING Thai at Lemon GrAss(yes, the A is capitalized) on Rt 7. I got the Himapan, it had cooked mushrooms, pineapple, tomatoes, carrots, and other stuff with beef, it was really good, the pineapple was perfect. Kate got the Vegetable Melody, which looked fine. Two problems with it:
- They didn’t have the little mini egg rolls that are deep fried.
- The rice tasted like it was over bleached, it was very odd.
So instead of those egg rolls, Kate wanted to get the “Crab Angels” which were very good, they had a more silky taste then normal crab ragoons. I’ll have to take Sami there when she comes up before school.
And since she thought I was going to make dinner on Tuesday, I made dinner for her on Wednesday. A little chicken covered in mayonnaise and spicey brown mustard with bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. Cook at 400 degrees for 25ish minutes. They were SO good! And then tomatoes in Vinegar and Oil with salt and pepper and an onion slice on top. And steamed fresh green beans in butter. And a bottle of red wine, which ended up being a very good choice for not knowing anything about red wine; with their Shiraz’s and Merlot’s, Barbera, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, and Sangiovese. Yea, just a few choices, so I had no idea what to pick, after a lady said I should get a Shiraz and Mom said to get a Cabernet Sauvignon. I decided to go by price and design, so near the 44 dollar bottle, there was a nice 15 dollar bottle with a classy design(C.S.), it was a good choice.
Then we went to the bar; yes, we went to the bar on a Wednesday night. NO ONE was there at Ake’s Place. There were a few old people and that was it. It was SO eery because normally it is shoulder to shoulder, but either way, Kate and Chip got a drink and then I whooped her ass in Big Buck Hunter. All three deer in all 5 rounds, TWICE! So the totally tally after last week is Kate: 5 Rob: 3. Yes, I did absolutely terrible on Saturday when I was drunk, it was a bad idea, I kept hitting Doe’s like it was my business.
Mmmmm BBQ! [ go ]
Well, tonight is going to be quite the dinner the N. Winooski Apt! Let’s see here, Dave(Pro Downhill Biker), Kevin, Chip, Kristin, Kate, and Myself will be there. I am making 6 steaks, a-la my dad’s style. And then I am going to try to make Cucumber salad and corn. It is going to be delicious! And then scrumptious Strawberry shortcake’s for dessert. And Katerina said she’ll try to make it for dessert with her pup. It is going to be a great time!
And then tomorrow I am hitting up the App Gap with Adam Linnebur. He is going to be on his old school 1989ish GSX-R, and I’ll be on theR6, of course. Should be a good time. I went to the Gap on Tuesday and dragged the foot peg coming down the Bristol side(West side), that was sweet. I need to take a picture of my chick-strips because they are almost gone, and I want to see if I get it any lower tomorrow.
And plans for the moment for the weekend is to either go to Todd and Amy’s house in Albany. Or go to BeerFest down on the water this weekend in Burlington. It will probably be BeerFest with the roommates and Kate and her group. And then I am going to try to meet up with Heather at sometime. She is supposed to be going down with a huge group of people.
Should be a good week.
Here’s My Baby! And draggin’ parts! [ go ]
Isn’t she amazing! Looks so beautiful and it is like bone stock too. But, I just bought flush mounts for the front, they came in on Monday. Tuesday I got the Custom Led brake light and blinker combo. It integrates the rear blinkers into the break light so I can make my own fender eliminator, to get rid of that HORRIBLE rear fender, elch.
And I am having a hard time deciding which helmet to get:
HJC CL-SP Apex (Red)
HJC CL-SP Osiris (Red)
HJC AC-11 LiveWire
I like the Apex the most, but the LiveWire is cheap because it is last year’s model and the Osiris is that bad looking of a helmet, but the apex will match everything best and looks the best I think. I will probably end up buying the Apex, but help me decide.
And today!!!! I took a ride to the APP Gap on Rt 17 in Vermont. It was AWESOME! I went up/down it 3 times, and on the 2nd time back up to the top I dragged my left foot peg/ left foot around one of the hair pin turns. It was SWEET! I want to sell this bike and get a complete race bike SO bad! But I will probably leave that until next year when I will have the time and the actual money to race. I need to get someone who doesn’t care to just sit at the corner’s and take pictures of me. Oh and that’s right, as I was coming to the top on my first run, there were a BUNCH of touring/cruiser bikes at the top. And as I rounded the corner going at a good speed and getting sort of low in the turn I see one of the guys taking a picture of me. That is SWEET!!
Oh well time for bed.
Go away, and don’t come back. [ go ]
So, I am sitting here, at work, at 4:00 on Friday, trying to figure out how to get home. As you can see from the wonderful radar map of Vermont, I am sort of stuck in a beautiful rain storm, with my bike. (Upload of picture to come).
Should I just wing it? Just blow through the storm and watch as the rain rips the skin off me hands? And then low and behold, the SUN erupts from behind the clouds to give a beautiful site for my eyes! So, it looks like I won’t go home soaking wet and I might be able to ride the bike home for the weekend.
Upload pictures of the bike will be coming after this weekend. For some reason I uploaded 4 of the same picture, instead of the 4 separate ones. And a little blog about the R6. Oh, I love it. And I want to race SOOO bad. I might go to Cana’der next weekend and do a little gambling if the numbers work out and try to raise a little cash for the race school. If anyone wants to donate, please paypal some money to rgehring|[at]|worldpath|[dot]|net. The school is 300 I believe, and the full leather suit I need to get, I can get used off a guy at work for 400. Thanks for the help!
*EDIT*
So, after I wrote that post, I look outside and it is raining…. So, I had to drive home in the rain, first real storm I drove through. And let me tell you, you try holding your fist out the window for 10 minutes plus at 60-70 mph in the rain. Yea, totally feels like your getting shot with needles and then your skin is getting ripped off. Not pleasant. And it was the HUGE droplet rain, LIKE HUGE! And then just out of Shelburne, it is sunny and nice and beautiful. I am telling you, Vermont is WAY worse then New Hampshire.
