Ladies, Start Your Engines

-

Notes to self:

1) Get a tripod

2) Camera should point at my face, not my bottom

3) Wind is loud

4) Neighbors think I am talking to myself when filming alone - not good

How cool is that? I'm so jealous, I can't get on mine for another week. Do you ever ride it to work?

I have to wait till next Spring to get myself a toy like that but it is going to be worth the wait.

I used to ride to work OC when I lived in Boston. Where I live now is too far away from work to ride in. Riding is better here- much less traffic. Hope you can get on that ATV soon.

It will be worth the wait Cristina. It's a lot of fun and a nice way to meet new people. Plus you would look good in chaps :).

Don't think the bike will make my butt look big, but I am sure those chaps will.

very nice...a good way to explore and meet people...hint go to ace hardware and you can get a little solar battery charger that trickles the battery all the time

Hey thanks Chewy (blush).

HN and BN - I think you two should get some bikes so we can all go for a ride.

Hey Rita - they are a lot of fun. Maybe you could covince Lyn to hop on the back :).

I didn't try riding till my mid-30's LesLife. Took a break for a few years and started up again. Maine must have some beautiful places to ride.

Thanks Rubye Jean! Next time I will try to shoot higher.

Mr. Moto - I will be ready on May 5th. Are you two taking that day off?

Hey Robert - Thanks for the tip. I didn't know they made solar battery chargers.

Things For Which To Be Thankful

My two nieces have had some health issues lately. First E was admitted to the hospital with severe abdominal pain. She ended up with a five day stay. Then my other niece S spent twelve hours in the ER due to a pain in her side (no, it wasn't me). Not feeling up to par can really bring you down. So I am sending them both some well wishes here today and hopefully convincing them that there are worse things in life. There is 80's hair: Oh, and a couple of more things to add to the list: red shag carpet and wrist corsages. Rock me like a hurricane girls, but you sure are pretty in pink (and black). Hey - didn't you have a cat that got lost at one point. I think I see it. ADDENDUM - THOSE PICTURES ARE NOT OF ME. SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION. TO BE FAIR, I HAVE POSTED MY 80'S PIC BELOW:

The Ring, Part 2

Up until last night, I thought I had tried everything. Dishwashing soap, dental floss, olive oil, two different kinds of hand lotion, ice, and Windex. I was just about to give up. However, my friends McMeaty and McCheesy were not. First came the WD-40 and lots of tugging. Standing over the kitchen sink, McMeaty gave it his all. Unfortunately the WD-40 not only lubed up my finger but his entire hand as well. No go there. Next came the dental floss. But the hand cream I had put on after the WD-40 only made the floss slip right off my finger without moving the ring. At this point, I had been sitting on the couch with my arm elevated for about ten minutes or so. This made the swelling go down quite a bit (thank you Chewy ). McMeaty was confident between the hand lotion and the reduction in swelling that another few pulls and twists would work. I sat on the couch, arm still elevated, while he patiently moved the ring up to my knuckle. Then wth a few more twists, turns, and tugging, the rin

Oops, I Did It Again

A while back I did a post about super-gluing a Mickey Mouse figurine to my middle finger. This time I have somehow gotten a ring stuck on the same finger. And I can't get it off. I put the ring on yesterday afternoon. I knew I was going to have trouble as soon as I shoved it past my knuckle. My finger is starting to get a little sore from all the tugging and possibly a little swollen, which is obviously not helping matters. Doesn't the Universe realize I can't possibly drive to work in Boston without complete and total use of this finger? It is as necessary for the commute as is a tank of gas. How will I convey my true feelings to the "left hand turn from the right lane" folks I encounter every day? I cannot be mute for my commute! Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions on how to remove the ring 1) without removing my finger and 2) while keeping the ring intact I would greatly appreciate it.
