In case you were wondering...

this is what these devices are used for. I've got a funny story about this one in particular, ask me about it sometime.

in a haze

I've been hitting the bike earlier and earlier these days. 6:30 am on wednesday. 6 am on thursday. 5:40 am today. I wanted to get in a decent ride before work, since I won't be able to after work- going to the monroe county demolition derby tonight. Bring on the rednecks and fried foods! But with all this early riding, I really should go to bed earlier too. Not the case last night. But how could I pass up free third row tickets to the Cards game, plus free booze? To boot, it was a good game and redbirds win for once. So after coming home around midnight in an alcohol influenced haze, my 5am alarm was quite the rude awakening.

I was able to drag the wildman out with me with a promise of free coffee at the halfway point. Riley's Coffee in lovely Belle-Vegas offers free double shots on Fridays, and I was in dire need of some sort of pick me up. So we geared up and rode south to caffeinated salvation. The espresso was pretty good, at least to a layman such as myself. I might have to learn me some of the finer points of the espresso so I can appreciate it more. So we drank, ate and then left to find much more traffic on the return trip. I headed back home while the dub (w) scurried up to edwardsville and employment.

here's a picture of what i've been up to recently, albeit not as prolific as furby. good times nonetheless:
