Yep, a Friday at home. Last weekend I went riding, and this weekend I should probably stick around and be a dad, even though a good portion of the day at work today I was looking at google maps, figuring out rides to New Mexico and Texas.
Tomorrow morning, the wife and I will wake up early (at least I will), then I’ll talk her into going to the grocery store. I’m proud to say, I haven’t stood in line to buy toilet paper and we haven’t purchased any since before this whole stupid TP thing happened. We’re down to 4 rolls, and with 3 girls and me in the house…. well, you know.
Had a good day at work today. Sales are still good, even working from home. The people who are the movers and shakers? They still are. The ones who are scared to make a move, are even more scared now. To me, its nice it’s so pronounced. It makes it easier to find the movers and the shakers. I work better with those customers anyway.
Washed the bike after work. Maybe the most bugs I’ve ever washed off a bike after a single 2 day ride.
Bought a miter saw this week and actually made a coffee table. Historically, the only thing I’ve been able to do with wood is burn it or bury it, but I’m kinda proud of what I made. My wife seems happy with it, and she’s gonna sand it down and stain it this weekend. Apparently it was decent enough she asked me to make her a desk, some night stands for the bedroom, and some other stuff.
Not a whole lotta shit going on at the Zip Household this weekend. I’m restless and I find myself wanting to fire up a thing, and raise a ruckus somehow. Maybe I’ll get in a fist fight over a 36 pack in the toilet paper Isle. I doubt it, but who knows….
I have a week off next month, and I might head north to go ride a thing.
Hey Brother, I’m jealous of your rides and lifestyle! Rode 66 about 5 years ago with 3 good friends, read every blog and note Of yours about the Road and ready to ride again. Thx for your Comments, it keeps my Hopes up that I’ll do it again!
Thank you sir — The nice thing about the road, is it doesn’t care what lifestyle you live or what you’re riding. Much appreciated. If you’re this way again, I’ll buy you a beer 🙂
NM Route 9 crosses the state and ends up close to El Paso, TX. Kind of a barren landscape but a great relaxing ride. Big Bend NP is near El Paso and a great National Park.
