What the hell am I?What the hell am I? - LiveJournal.comAhoy backpackers!- June 30, 2008 Could you recommend a good water filtering device that won't have me breaking the bank (An Amazon link would be great.)http://schmi.livejournal.com/509757.html Rant...- June 30, 2008 People who think that I shouldn't ride to Alaska because "it's too dangerous" or "you should try something easier and closer to home first", pretty please stop projecting your own fears on to me and FUCK OFF.I'm not an idiot, and I'm taking every possible precaution to protect myself and to ride within my abilities. I do not need to explain any of this to you or try to reassure you, because frankly - it's none of your fucking business.http://schmi.livejournal.com/509611.html The weekend...- June 30, 2008 The weekend was a quiet one for me. The temperatures were well into the 80s which had me mostly staying in the shade when possible.Saturday morning saw me catching the bus to RideWest in Lake City Way to return the RevIt jacket. Unfortunately I forgot the liner and the tags at home, so I'm going to have to return with them next week. I used my $100 gift card from the Adventure Camp towards a pair of Revit waterproof winter gloves. Went to the Army Surplus store downtown later on and picked up a.http://schmi.livejournal.com/509273.html (Untitled)- June 27, 2008 I'm feeling very pissy today. :My chiropractor did an adjustment and a deep tissue massage on my neck yesterday (which had me screaming with pain inwardly) and I've been feeling poorly ever since then. I thought a good night's sleep would fix everything but it didn't, and I woke up feeling like crap.I was going to just call in sick, but I showed up anyway because I had a 1:1 with my manager and an alumni lunch which I had arranged. The 1:1 seems to have been canceled and only one person showed..http://schmi.livejournal.com/509113.html Booze advice- June 26, 2008 I never thought I would say this, but I need some advice from you drinker types. You know who you are. :PI want to stop at the liquor shop and pick up a little something as a thank-you gesture to the GM of the local BMW store who had my bike picked up from a location 60 miles away from Trollhaugen and dropped it off at the shop of my choice in Seattle. Any recommendations on what to get I cannot really break the bank so it would have to be somewhat affordable.(I know from experience that liquor.http://schmi.livejournal.com/508828.html New Arai...- June 26, 2008 The only good (albeit v. expensive) thing to come out of this entire fiasco is that I get to order a cool new helmet. After years of wearing boring white helmets, I changed tracks and ordered this one:ARAI Quantum-2 in Racing RedMmm... sexy...http://schmi.livejournal.com/508500.html The verdict is in...- June 26, 2008 NO BROKEN NECK!!!!dances a little If you love me, dance with me. :)http://schmi.livejournal.com/508352.html This could only happen to me...- June 25, 2008 I just had a higher up manager approach me and tell me that they have an opening coming up which would involve working in Seattle three days out of five, and they thought I might be interested in it. YOU THINKThe only hitch - it would involve moving out from my current brilliant manager to another guy that I cannot stand. I might have referred to him sometime as this brownnoser who used to be my peer once and just got made a manager UGH... so of course I won't bother even thinking about it.So...http://schmi.livejournal.com/508065.html How I feel today...- June 25, 2008 Went in to the chiropractor yesterday to have my neck looked at and he asked me to get xrays done to rule out any broken bones in my neck, before he did an adjustment. He was rather surprised that the people at the ER didn't take any considering that I had hit my head with a 4lb helmet on. So I got xrays done this morning and am waiting to hear back from them. Keep your fingers crossed that schmi's neck is break-free, would you :My throat has started hurting again too, especially when I swallow.http://schmi.livejournal.com/507692.html Schmi crashed again! Must be June...- June 23, 2008 The bad news: I high-sided, got thrown twenty feet and the bike somersaulted three times before landing.The good news: It was on dirt and I'm only slightly bruised and whiplashed. The slightly better news: I won the Trollhaugen "Hard Luck" plaque.The worst news: The bike's broken and we don't know how bad. I'm gutted. As you might have guessed, my first dual-sport rally was painfully short.
