back from NC finally...

phew, back from NC finally...

this weekend was fun. i met jessica at a church camp like 6 or more yrs ago. we talked online some. it was kinda spur of the moment of "hey i think i'm coming up" lol but it was a good weekend to ride. tho right now my crotch is THROBBIN' sore lol. and not in a good way :o i left friday, merging onto covington exit 90 at like 7:19p.m. and got there in charlotte at about.... 11:30ish. maybe even 11:45 i forget. the headlights cut out like twice on the way up, but by bumping them they came back on. the only turn i made wrong was the VERY LAST TURN lol. as in, from I-85 (yes, same I-85 taht goes through norcross) i turn right onto I-485 (which is their equiv of ATL's I-285) and i got off at the first exit instead of the 2nd. "well" lol. after i realized what i did, i called her to say "hey you said call wehn i was close, i'm close, be there soon" then as i pulled out onto the main road, the lights cut out. bumping it made no difference. i pulled over and farked with them for 20 or more fucking mins. i FINALLY got them half ass on, the kept driving, where i drove about 5 miles more, and in those 5 miles, i bet it cut out prob... 20 times. i meet her at her friend's apartment where we immediatly leave, and during that time i wiggle enuf wires that i lose all dash lights. the next day i found out i blew a fuse, and there are some exposed wires i'll take care of. but the headlights cutting out was due to the connector being loose. it's liek the pin is a o and the connector should look like c (so they fit snugly inside each other) but instead the pin looks like an o and the connector looked like a L lol. yea, not snug, cuts out. i bend with the screwdriver seems to have cured it now...

ok new paragraph, that last one was getting long :P

urm, friday night we talked til wee hours of the morn. went to sleep like 4. i can't sleep much past 9. so i got up, went downstairs, watched tv. her apartment was pretty cool. everyone had a private bath, the only thing they really shared was a living room and kitchen. that would have been soo nice with us at Wellington Ridge... tho she said rent was like $360/m and that includes utilities... 4 ppl per apartment, comes out to $1440 rent and utilities :o so it wasn't cheap for them.

hrm, saturday we went and took pics at memorial gardens, which, was a graveyard, but had alot of flowers and looked sooo cool! i'll post some later maybe tommorrow if i feel like it then :P she had to work like 2 hours (she teaches autistic children) on sat, so i used that time to fix the bike (tho it only took like 15 mins, lol) then we had dinner with her parents. her parents were really nice, and got along sooooo well with each other. her dad makes really good steaks too :P her family was def. a lil more "well to do" then what i was used to, but not in a gaudy way - like they had a modest house, with some fine furnishings, and they were pretty down to earth. they had 2 cats, and the white cat "didn't like strangers" so it wasn't supposed to come out of hiding... well after supper it walks up to me and i was petting it, and the whole family was liek :o "look! look! he came out! and a STRANGER is petting him!" so i think i feel special :P lol

today we got up and ate some chili's for lunch, and started watching the panter's game. she's a football-a-holic. oh well, it was ok. i left during 3rd quarter at 3:45 and started for home. i stopped... like 4 times, twice for gas, once for a crotch break and once for SPARKLERS :P lol (stay tuned this weekend for the results of the sparkler bomb :P ) i pulled off I-85 (i decided to take I-85 all the way back instead of 77 to I-20). i pulled off the interstate at the mall of ga at about 7:10 then arrive home around 8:15 or 20. what a ride... oh yea, as i pull inot the neighborhood, i notice the metal grate from my driveway (to make pulling in easier) AT A NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE!!!! so i pull in then REPO my shit back! lol. that shit was heavy, it dind't just "roll down hill" someone had to drag that shit back. well, it's like prob 30lbs, so it's not heavy, but it's NOT goin to blow away or get washed away by rain.... and for it to be in the rd next to his mailbox... the next road over.... yeah i took my shit back :P

at ate i think pretty damn healthy this weekend. all she had was like soy milk, honey nut ceral, diet this, wheat that, whole grain that, organic this. woah. i felt like a health nut :o not really, my cheese steak today made up for it :P and i was dieing when i got home, and practically INHALED 2x cokes :P now i'm working on a Pina Colada malt beverage. it's tolerable :-\ oh yea, last night while she was at work, i went to the local package store and got soem Bahama Mamas and they were GOOD. it tasted like stright fruit punch. the margaritas i was drinking last thursday were like 9.96% alcohol, and these bahama mamas were 10%, so ever so slightly stronger, but i could not taste it :O we broke out the blender and made em into slushys, even better :) heh. a 750ml bottle, i drank about... maybe 100ish ml before we went to her parent's house (i didn't want to walk in dronk, like "HaaaaaIIIII, my bane is jabson....") then she drank about.... maybe a 1/5 of it, and i had the rest last night :P twas good, and i slept well too :P lol oh yeah, she lied! she said someething ot the nature of "i can get you drunk then seduce you" (oh, wait, was that my words? hrmm.... oops?) and nothing happened heh :P oh well twas fun anyways.

hrm... oh yea, we checked the bike rear tire thursday - 8.5 PSI of air pressure.... (it's supposed to have approx 30 PSI) so it was WAY low.... yeah, i didn't add any air til about 50 miles towards atl on the way back..... :P oh yeah the bike's front wheel is outa balance at 85 mph. but at 75 and 95 it's fine :P and at 120 it's pretty damn smooth. 120 is redline, at 10.5k rpm's. it stops at 12k rpms (i think?) which, according to math, should be 137mph!!!! HOT DAMN i might have to test that one day :P tho it was pretty near foot on floor to achieve that 120...

hmmm.... that's about it. i think i used about a quart of oil the whole trip. spent i belive approx $40 or less in gas, i think, and only got a $180 ticket :( hope that doesn't fuck up my insurance too much........... i'll let ya'll know :o

g'nighty! (btw, it looks like i may never get around to talking about jekyll...)
