Well it’s been a little while since my last post. My excuse? I got really drunk and Ben’s bachelor party last weekend and have been getting my ass kicked at work. We’re working on a project for “a client” and basically we’ve got about three weeks (now down to a week and a half) to do around six weeks worth of work. So needless to say we’ve been putting in some long hours and blogging has come second pretty much everything else I have time for.
Today I road into work wearing goggles for the first time in probably 8 months. It’s not terribly cold out (50/60’s) but riding a couple miles on a bike can really get your eyes watering, which sucks. Your vision gets blurry, you’ve got cold water running down your face, people laugh and point because you’re crying. So, today I said ‘fuck it, I’m wearing the goggles,’ and I’ve gotta say it was very well worth it. I’ve been feeling a little nippy the past couple of days riding it, but today it seemed like the goggles were actually helping stay warmer. I hate winter biking, but really kind of love it at the same time. Oh, and the goggles (they’re not ski goggles) they’re actually Motorcycle goggles which are great for a little chilly wind protection, but when it’s really cold, like December and January (and February) they fog up like crazy. As soon as I stop moving, instant fog. For the colder cold months I’ve got some ski goggles that work great, but it’s nice to get some use out of the moto-goggles during these in between months.
Okay, time to work…
