A loss which is a win

So I'm extremely sore today.  Both hands hurt.  Not entirely sure why, maybe it was the couple of balls I caught bare handed.  My chest has a perfect circle on the right peck from stopping the pop fly with my chest then my hands, my legs are sore.  But...it was all worth it a blast.  PNR lost last night 12 to 5.  For us that's a win especially compared to the 21-6 score last week.

"Your lipstick, his collar...don't bother angel!


So I've had a busy week thus far.  Referring not only to this week but also the past weekend.  The weekend was great.  I hung out with Greg all weekend because we worked on my bike.  Saturday, Greg and Dan came over to help me install my new Yosh exhaust.  First I treated them to lunch for helping me and then we got down to business.  We took the bike apart which had it's issues, mostly with taking off and replacing the headers.  Those damn screws were hard to get to. Dan left right as we removed the stock headers, and then Greg and I put on the new headers and exhaust.  We were both pretty dirty and tired so we decided to wait and put the PCV on Sunday and scrap going to the race.

Greg left, and Marc, Eric and I went to Star Trek saturday night.  It was an awesome movie, so entertaining.  I already can't wait for the sequel.


On a rainy Sunday morning, Greg came back over and we installed the fuel controller.  That was an issue in and of itself.  After scratching our heads for a while we decided to completely take off the tank which made life much easier.  Paco stopped by for about and hour which was nice.  As we all were working on the bike, we were witness to a domestic violence dispute...WTF?  I thought Lone Tree was a nice part of town.  The girl was ok but the cops were called and craziness ensued.  We remained in our little bubble of niceness aka the garage, and did our thing.

We got the FI installed and started her up.  Man did she sound good.  All in all I was pretty proud of what we were able to accomplish.  Both of us are mechanically challenged so it felt good.  Gave us the confidence to try other things.

Tonight is PnR softball and I'm excited.  Always a good time, and hopefully we do better.  That's all I have for now.  As I fight off nostalgia as always, I put my mind into other things.  Primarily to distract myself.  That's ok right?  Ignoring your thoughts?  Especially if they are potentially damaging?

Enough procrastinating!

So I've put off updating my blog for a while now because I was waiting until I got my post cruise write up done.  I've decided to stop and will eventually get that up but I need to update in the meantime, so be on the look out.

Last night was the first game for PNR of the season.  In normal PNR fashion we lost 21 to 6.  Not really unusual for us, giving away far too many runs with sloppy fielding.  Felt like we were playing volleyball the way we were bobbling the ball.  Oh well it was fun.

The night ended with us going to BW's where Greg and I had some catching up to do.  He unfortunately had to leave in a rush because he received bad news over the phone.  I'll be praying for you buddy.  BW's ended my plan for not eating out once this week and tonight is Bike Night at a joint only two minutes from my house.  I've been wanting to try it for a while so we'll see what happens.  Hopefully Greg will be able to make it.  We have our motorcycle racing plans we need to put into motion.

So for now that is all.  Time for me to get back to work.  Be on the look out for my cruise write up and pictures.  Lots and lots of pictures.
