Forgot to collect my shoes
...so that'll be a tomorrow afternoon job, after getting into work supa-early tomorrow!
This is of course a minor piece of news for the day, since *tan-tarrah!* I went to pick my bike up today! All fixed, and boy there must have been quite a lot of shit going on there, since it was far more sparky in firing (new starter motor :D) and the steering was incredibly amazing! I'm loving it!
Except.....the wires were a lot more exposed than previously, so I tried to tuck them back in a bit. Big mistake, I managed to loosen the indicator connections, making them go crazy re: flash timing. So after a few moments of absolute panic, I've re-worked them into a position where the connection isn't pulled when I steer. But the ends are quite a bit more exposed, so from now on I'll be absolutely paranoid about them getting wet, and will probably start carrying something to put over them to keep the rain off when I'm out! Not that I'll be riding many places now that it's winter, but.....a scary moment when I'd just forked out loads for the repair and not really ridden very much. I'll be keeping an eye out, at any rate, and may treat myself to a replacement machine sooner than I was meaning.....2 years isnt a bad run for a first bike though, especially since it's 10 years old. Have to start looking out for a good deal!
Had my first totally random 'poke' on Facebook the other day, not a clue who it is but they must have surfed on in from an actual friend's page. Most odd. I've sent him a message along the lines of 'I havent a bloody clue who you are (unless my memory is crap) but thanks', and have heard no response. I feel like I'm being stalked. Slightly odd feeling. And on this theme, got a totally random text message from some guy I once had a date with. I'd deleted his number ages ago and he'd obviously forgotten who I was, but was curious why my number was in his phone. Fair enough, but I'd just delete it rather then sending a txt and then proceeding to call. Here's advance warning bloggardes, that I've finally got my first stalker! So exciting! But please keep a watch out for me, I dont want to inadvertantly drawn into a cannibalism pact (again). Natch.
Rehearsal again tonight, we're on next week and it's getting along....only worry is having a massive allergy response next week; I had a bad weekend of it after set-build and I'm hoping a lot of that was sawdust. Dont want to be inhaler-sucking and steroid-slapping all week.
Time for dinner, people......
