I replaced both tubes and switched out the tires last night and it made all the difference. The new tires are not offroad tread... they are street slick in the center and knobby on the edges. It make a HUGE difference on the street and they are perfect for the enduro shit that I deal with on the way to work. Unlike my being a total gear slut on Friday, I managed to make almost the entire trip this morning above 20th gear. The heat is a real killer. I packed my Airborne bottle (thank you Sam) with ice before leaving the house and it was completely melted a couple miles into the ride. Phuck. It appears I may have some tenants for my VB house. Yay! I am blaming the new tires for the better commute, but it probably has to do with a sound sleep. Night before last was terrible... I nightmared about this woman that looked exactly like Aunt Jemima chasing me through some bayou/swamp area with a gun that shot Sporks at high velocity. I don't know why she was trying to kill me with a Spork, but it fucking freaked me out. There were a lot of snakes and alligators in the swamp... and leeches. I got lost and kept seeing the same stuff over and over... she knew the whole place like the back of her hand. She was a mean shot with the Spork rifle too. Bitch. I didn't sleep well at all. I am really looking forward to Guy tonight. I've never been to this venue, but Greg says that the only way to get a seat is to buy tickets in advance. I'm picking mine up this afternoon. Is it time to go home? I'm ready.
