Goals: Putting it off

After firimly setting my sights on completing a metric century on my panasonic this Friday I ran into a tiny disaster while adjusting my saddle. A spring like metal shaving fell the the floor and my seat pin slid easily out coaxed by the slight magnetic charged tip of the screw driver. An expletive was uddered under my breath, the little on was within ear shot, and I knew I would be off to several stores. Seo, the closest shop tried hard but couldn't come up with the part and they aren't a Panasonic dealer so the order would take a while. My trip to the hardware store ended fruitlessly and I only, like princess leia, only had one hope left. It was off to Jingane to see what they had. As it turns out that nut is proprietary and will take a week. Expletive beer return to shop. The younger of the older guys is there and gives me an earful about not being around the neighbourhood anymore and that he had a present for the young one. The present is a new BMX for little kids that he can ride when he gets a little bigger. I was happy to take it off their hands for free since we just had to pay $45 to throw away 2 TVs. I am still heading out tonight but the lurker is going to ride solo and I will be riding my commuter. If I can pull 100 tonight and then commute the next six days in a row I will be able to justify cycling shorts to myself for X mas. Sometimes my groin hates and throbs through out the night.
