An inconceivable event has occurred in Don Felipe's life!
As unbelievably frugal as I am, I FINALLY bought new tires for the ZX6; I haven't got her new shoes since the bike was even purchased months and months ago. YES WE CAN...er...I DID. Sorry, all this Obama-fanaticism has me using copious amounts of duct tape and electrical wire at work in the spirit of "presidential solutions". Chuckle chuckle =) Also in the spirit of racism, bigotry, prejudice, and redundancy, we had Gook Night over at Bundick's house on Wednesday (On Wednesday's the crew gets together and we cook a big dinner and hang out). Gook Night included stir-fry, sake, and rice. Not too shabby eh? Sadly, I forgot an oriental (which is a rug and not something you call one of asian descent) movie. So instead of samurai swords or ninjas we rode around INSIDE the house on a bmx bike. The bike has shocks and pegs (luuuucky!) and Chris was able to give me an awesome elementary-school-style pump around the house. Mind you, this is not a lot of room to do this. We rode outside, off a step and decided that going down the stairs of the porch was not in our best interests.
We took to the road.
Using both our brawn and brilliance we used a towstrap to pull someone on a skateboard. This is harder than you think, and so I ran inside and grabbed Chris' rolling desk chair. DUDE! You can go so fast behind a bike whilst sitting on a rolly chair! Going around the block is really hard unless the skateboarder is holding onto the chair. So imagine if you will, Bike + Rolly Chair + Skateboard. YES. Awesome. You can steer the rolly chair with the board, but you have to be careful going around corners quickly because you'll swing out like wakeboarding. SWEET. Yeah, offroading is awesome until the wheels melt off and you eat the ol' proverbial dirt.
Ooo, I got my second 10'' sub through my trade with Cliff, which is sweet because now I have two 10s and a 12 in my collection.
Work has been quasi-fun with my coworker Corey, whose blog I will soon add a link for. Careful, it's cynical as hell but rather amusing. Everyday a new idea for a wacky (yet well thought out) business or contraption. These include highly dangerous ways of making our job easier. It's too bad that the ideas never come to fruition, but it's certainly food for thought. I like my bosses aplenty; Karan and Virgil Marko have been more than accomodating. Of course one has to sometimes see through the occasional temper tantrums Virgil will throw (No offense meant if you're reading this Kyle) or the hilarious mispellings[sic] on random file boxes. Today I noticed "Finical Documents" on one, and at one point there was a sign above the sink that read "Warsh Your Dishes" which is reminiscent of Karan's accent. Hehehe, for the most part I don't mind the work because there are always little quirks and gobs of variety when it comes to the jobsite. For instance, today we cleaned a professors home whose house looked JUST like a library! So many books, so little time. Yet somehow he finds the time to read most or all of them. Sheesh.
Quick update: The Tower of Cancerous Death (Dip can tower) is now over 6' tall. I think I might have said it was that high a while back, but Benni and I have added like 12 new cans or something. Also, 23 hours of community service left. Only 12 days left until my probation is half over! Sweet.
And that's it. If I didn't hate the Porky Pig famous "That's all folks" outro, I would do it. So....
Making like a leaf, and getting out of here,
Biff (Phil)
