Life has been leaning in my favor of recent. Its par for the course for just as I pull my hand back to proverbially toss in the towel I find myself negotiating for a pay and job fabricating the contemporary minimalist designs for a previous employer. I had worked for him as an independent contractor for three years, three years ago. Back four or so years, when going about the home purchase details, he vouched for me as steady confirmed work, although my mortgage did not need income verification, that would not work in todays economic environment. I dont know how I got through that process... but I did.
The roommate situation is going smooth, he is taking off for Arizona Thanksgiving week and I am watching his puglet Henry. It'll be a barter transaction, as seems that at times I will be needing my small animal army watched over.
I will be taking advantage of that this Thursday to visit Jillian in Philly. I have not been to Kaffa Crossing in a good year maybe two? My palate demands Ethiopian. Their coffee is pretty damn perfect too. I am overjoyed to be in company with her, she is sweet, smart and I am such a sucker for all that goodness. Not to mention her accepting the zoo and the zoo her, her knowledge and fondness of plants and the way she looks at me... what's a boy supposed to do?
I have a hearty list of bike parts to acquire. I bought two wheelsets this week, all fantastic deals. First off for my Japanese/ suntour superbe pro equipped road bike, I picked up a mavic monthlery pro tubular wheelset, they are known to be really durable and for $35 I could not resist. I am stretching tubulars to glue them up probably today, need to check if I have enough mastic. Second was a mavic/ paul single speed wheelset for my old rigid trek 830 single speed conversion. I still need to order tires, bar, grips, a chain and some other odds and ends.That will increase the stable once again to six bicycles. I had ten at the beginning of the summer.
