Life Lessons

Today I learned several very important things. One of them made me very happy, the other however, made me very very sad.

First off, there's been a lot of stuff going on lately. We did a lot of work at the site. Which is coming along nicely. Bonnie and Bill painted the hall and though the colors that were chosen were IL Dept of Corrections goldenrod and brown, the job that they did was not only very quick, but really spectacularly painted. We are however now stuck with 17 gal. of goldenrod yellow fucking paint that's going to go in the main room. I think if we get a gallon of Navajo Red stain and hit it with a sponge, it will look awesome. Before I do this however, I fully intend to run a photoshop simulation to see what it will look like. Yes, I will put the picture here so that others can see.

Today I learned that even though the workout machine says 3, it really means 30. So I felt like so much less of a total pussy with my workout. Before, I was kind of sad that my arms were all noodlely after doing fifteen reps with 3 lbs. I feel a whole lot better to know that it was after doing fifteen reps with 30 lbs.

The other thing that I learned today was that motorcycles and gravel roads do not mix. I did alright at first, but I braked too hard or too quick on my last run and dumped myself. Though I tore my hand up a bit, it looks more like I got into a pretty intense bar fight and not like I dumped my bike like a moron. After cleaning it with rubbing alcohol (that sucked beyond all rational thought), I slapped band-aids in place and we headed off to do a bit more work on the site.

The women's bathroom now kinda has toilets. Oh yeah... that's another thing I learned today, 80 year old poop smells really really bad.

Fuck it, now I'm just rambling and hurty... I'm going to bed.
