Busy weekend

We worked out Saturday morning, did the shopping, and came home for lunch. The afternoon involved a drive to the outlet mall for to purchase a new dvd player. After returning triumphant from the hunt, the final scrap of paper needed to appease the revenuers was found in our mailbox. Cathy had all the papers together, so only a slightly stressful hour or so spent with turbo-lax was endured before we could relax from the tax.
Sunday morning was filled with coffee and waffles and the morning paper. We are both looking forward to spring, and decent weather to ride again. I'd like to take more day trips on the weekends, so will have to get weekend type chores done during the week.

I'm going to check for eggs... 

Behold the throne!

Cathy's chair is on it's way....

Here I am, in case you were curious...

A new Beginning, HA!

Rather than delete this worthless online scribble pad, i'll use it to keep track of my cycling miles with my sweetie. Last year Cathy and I rode 632 miles during wisconsin's short riding season. We are going to Bally's fairly regularly, and hope to start out this spring in better condition.

Keep an eye out for this movie, The Last Dragon. The film is an eighties Kung Fu meets Electric Boogaloo thing but it's a total gas. It usually shows up late at night on cheesy cable channels. Crazy guy Joe Bob gave it 4 "drive in" stars back in '85.
