Wake up after 3 hours of sleep from the mid.

Pack up to take my wheels to get tires put on.  Realize that the front wheel is sans bearings.   Oh great, I've got a set to install.....rush the install and ruin one bearing. 

Get to the shop to have tires put on.  The scratch on of my freshly powdercoated forged marchesinis... "sorry"

Swing by the auto parts store to pick up a water pump that has been on order for 5 days.....wrong one.  Order right one, they say it will be there today by 5pm.

Drive home to do my rotors.  I bought a "complete" set of TPO buttons from someone on here.  Weird thing is....they only sent me 10 buttons (enough for one rotor) <- thanks douchebag

I FINALLY get my forks back from NCRick.  1098 forks that were hard anodized black (with internal work).  He was supposed to do a few other things, which he charged me for.....didn't do them.  So my rearsets and fuel cap have been sitting on a shelf somewhere for almost TWO MONTHS and not a make the beast with two backsing thing has been done.  Now I've got to find someone else to do them.  I put a call in, Rick isn't there and doesn't call me back.  Joyce does and says "sorry, he couldn't/didn't get to them".  Ummmm can you say never dealing with you again?  Wait I was charged.....ahh make the beast with two backs it.


Assemble one rotor, mock up front end.  Nick my wheel with one of the monoblocks while being extra careful while trying to install it.

Go back by the auto parts store to pick up the water pump....guess what?  Ain't there.

Stub the shit out of my toe on the way back in the door.

I feel like pushing the bike out in the street and burning it down. 

make the beast with two backs I'm pissed.
Disassemble wheel.

another what? difficult day!!!! [laugh]

we all have days that feel like a salmon swimming upstream.

Laugh with a friend, share a drink and notice that it's only one day out of thousands.   [beer]

Frickin' snow!
