Whose the mother flippin'?.....

I'M THE MOTHER FLIPPIN'.

I hate that lady on the cell phone.....the one that talks to everyone. You know her, and I'm sure you've listened to her. I know you've listened to her, she never lets you say a word, and if you do, she won't listen. The derilict world of phone companies. Please get a phone message person that doesn't irritate people with the same phrase every time I try to make a call and get the voicemail. Bahhhh.

I took yesterday off work, to go out and get stuff done. I took two of Jason's bikes down to the shop to work on them. I love going to the shop. I get in the back, and a guy brings a Huffy in and Ken yells at me to take the wheel off of the $50 bike, while he's working on a set of $3000 wheels for a $5000 bike/work of art in the form of a Pinarello Prince. While the backup Colnago sits getting the Zipp's put on. GEESH. I did my job, and did it well.....maybe that dude with those bikes liked my work ethic???

So after the shop, I get in downtown Houston traffic to go visit the muesem of art and science. Well, I'll go in detail here to show the full effect. Huntsville, my current location, is lone wolf territory.....I think Corey Ray is the only other guy that has rode competitively here.....there is not group rides, runs, or get togethers. While Houston, an emerging hotspot for bums who ask for cheeseburgers(witnessed first hand) and cyclists, runners and many other types of peoples. So this much bigger city I'm driving through has many, MANY bad drivers. Or maybe they're all really good, and I'm the bad one....but using a blinker was a good thing....or so I thought. Add that fact, with the one that I have no idea where I'm at....or really where I'm going.....and the fact that I am very lost when it comes to direction. As you can see just getting there was a story in itself.

Moving on, to the actual Science muesem. How cool was this? I never knew it had so much usefull information. I mean, I've been there as a kid in school. But geesh, I learned about Space, dinosaurs, mummies, and saw butterflies(pictured above). The blackhole movie in the planterium was spectacular and awe inspiring. Or I was inspired by it's awe.

Then it was off to the art muesem. It was ok. I saw some cool artwork. Then I saw some stuff that I don't know how people claim to be art. But it was neat to see all the Picasso's and.....well, it was neat to see.

I'm pumped about Fayetteville....a little tired, as I've gotten up at 4AM for 3 days this week. But somehow I think it'll be good for adventure racing. Speaking of which.....

MOAT has a website up, and looks neat, check it out: www.peak.com/teammoat
