So like I mentioned in the last post, life has been pretty busy lately. I think I am trying to keep too many balls in the air at once but that's just the way I roll. Even with Johanna out of town and in Japan, a lot of my free time is taken up by too much stuff.

First, there's the riding. I am probably averaging 3-5 days on the bike. I don't really do any other form of exercise and it's pretty damn fun. I haven't been on my road bike in a while and the local MTB spots are getting a little stale so I think I am going to have to venture a little farther away fotr some rejuvination. Along with the riding would have to be the race planning. Running Bi-weekly brownie crits and planning cross country races are taking up some time.

Next is the Mini-Z's. Lots and lots of time on the Mini-Z's. Just about every other Saturday I am driving to D.C. (2.5 hours) to race my little cars with other 30ish year olds. These things are a straigh up addiction. They are tons of fun and there is always some tweaing to do. I am waiting for the point where all of my cars are just setup and running. The problem is that it's just as much fun to tweak and mod as it is to drive, so sometimes I spend literally hours at night working on the kitchen table putting a car back together. This should slow down once I get all of my setups dialed though.

Next is more Mini-Z's. Someone gave me a track and I have been setting it up at one of the local hobby shops to try and get some racing going. There are a bunch of RC drivers in this town but they all run big load off road trucks. There used to be a pretty strong following of Mini-Z racers around here over a year ago but it just died down and here I am trying to breathe life back into it.

Next would have to be work. Around all of these hobbies I have to find time to spend a couple of hours a day funding them. Work has been pretty busy these days. Please don't ask what I do, it's not that I would have to kill you it's just that I don't really know...and even if I did, it would bore you anyway. My hobbies are much more exciting!

The icing on the cake is my addiction to procrastinating. I can never just go to bed at 10:30 or 11:00. No, I have to tinker with this, fiddle with that, look up one last thing on the internet, check my email, blah blah blah. I'll settle into a better routine one of these days. (Probably in late August when Johanna gets back from Japan)

Well, if anyone wants to race Mini-Z's, ride mountain bikes, eat brownies, or surf the web, don't hesitate to give me a call.

Peace
