Thread: A boring wet Sunday, what you doing?

  1. #16
    I just got back from riding a trial in the rain - it was all about mud,and crashing,and mud,and crashing,rolling down banks,stuck in streams,water in my boots,up to my elbow,total exhaustion,as wet from sweat as rain,mud,mud,mud.My hip is sore,my goolies are sore,my front mudguard is fucked,my clutch lever is broken.

    That was fun,I'd do it again tomorrow if I didn't have to work.

    Mr Skid is still out there,it'll be a long ride home in the rain for him.

    Cool

    Was having a lovely sleep-in this morning until the neighbour rung me up (10.50am) to go and sort out her comp... son had done something to her comp while she was overseas. and lost msn 7.0 version and had 4.7 version on it instead. It was WTF has he done now.

    Then home and watched tv.. Just watched the Rugby.. yeah ok I don't have SKY and had to wait til 3.30pm....
    But just before the rugby I watched the bikes racing in the pissing down rain on TV1....

    So all in all a very exciting day ... NOT.

    Didn't go near the bike today...

    Not a bad Sunday really

    letsee, woke up at 1450, watched a bit of one sport, saw a bit of donington and had lunch. Got dressed and hacked up my front mudguard for the second time (repetitive crashing has made the mudguard start to come to bits).

    Then browsed KB, about to have dinner... not bad considering somebody in the sky has been going to the toilet all day...

    Went for a trail ride at he Rotheram school,40km loop very well marked and a brilliant circuit with a good mix of terrain, I was riding Diesel Pigs KDX200 as I haven't got around to fixing my IT200

    The weather varied from bright sunshine to thick fog as we climbed up and down hills and valleys and rode flat farmland to riverbeds to 4wd tracks the first lap I managed to have a lowside when I hit a corner a bit fast and went down in a heap but we weren't really going that fast

    Lap 2 and we're riding with a different bunch as we hooked up with Glen and Shane and the pace is a bit quicker,Glens riding a stocker DR250 and hammering it although I can haul him in easily enough,I hit a downhill and wonder why the rear brake isn't working,once I get to the bottom I discover the rear caliper dragging on the ground behind me so I tape it to the swingarm and carry on,this lap results in two more lowsides and a highside on the last corner before the pits

    A bloody excellent day

    After waking up from a long night of drinking, went down to a small (60m long) westie beach below my mates place and mucked around, then rode home through the west auckland twisties. Pity it was wet though

    Decided to give scenic drive a miss.

    Woke up, looked out the window, cloudless day.
    Looked at Coronet Peak.
    Went up Coronet Peak.
    Skied for a couple of hours.
    Stopped for barbecque & beers at the club lodge.
    Skied for another couple of hours.
    Went home.

    busy busy busy...good wet weekend for doing stuff inside

    sat was prep day for lots of electrical work on the house
    My first 2 sparkys let me down (grrrrrrr) so I convinced my ex to fly down from dorkland and do it all for me.....damn good guy really....and I know I'd get a good job done
    Cos he was such a good bloke I let him go out on sat and play golf...just that kinda gal is me!

    Bearing in mind that this is an 80 year old house, on Sunday we:
    wired 4 new plug installs, replaced 3 old plugs

    installed a heat transfer fan switch and speed controller

    moved on light circuit across the room, new cable

    moved another around a corner and added a new fitting

    replaced a dead light switch

    .......and demolished half the kitchen

    and also understanding that the light cables all had steel conduit so it took us as long to wire up the one light as it did to do almost everything else......lotsa swearing going on!

    then I packed him back off home and spent a lovely evening admiring our handiwork....amongst other things ......damn good night....rice pudding is the best when served hot with whipped cream and delicious company eh darling

    Geez Rashika, the mind boggles at the final paragraph on your posting!!

    At least you got something done for the day, I was the same down here, finishing off the new garden shed. (But I'd rather have been out for a ride)

    Did get out to a "lingerie" party on Sat night, hmmm, some of the lingerie looked knda interesting. But for C.B you understand.
