Birthdays

GC #1 had her birthday yesterday and the thought occurred to me "when did I get so f-ing old?" I have a kid who needs bike now??

I swear I turned 40 and weird shit started happening. I had my first ever back problem recently, my hair is suddenly thinning a little, etc. I could also swear my metabolism slowed by about 20% the day after the Big 40.

Finally got back to exercising a little this week, keeping it at around 2 miles/morning until I"m sure my back isn't going to act up again. I'll step it up to 3 or more Sat and Sun to see how it goes. Like to try and get back to the 15+ mark next week.

Received the new (for me) wiring harness in the mail on Monday. Coincidentally, we had spaghetti for dinner that night, which is exactly what that box looked like it was full of when I opened it. I've postponed any work until I can get a soldering iron to make the connections. I may change that this evening, as I have the urge to get something done. Last week was a bust for working on the jeep with all the home improvement (insert Tim Allen reference here :) I'm thinking maybe I can get the harness laid out and figure out what I want and what is getting sold/given away later. This weeks/weekends list remains the same.....finish the damn lubricants and get the body lift changed out. In addition, I'd now like to get back to the electrical and make some progress. I'll tentatively say that I'd like to get the light fixture parts marked, cut off of the old harness and soldered into the new one. When combined with the other items, this should be a reasonably full weekend.

In other breaking news, we might get to go see a movie this weekend. At the theater. Without kids. I know, it's weird, but it just might be true.


In my sports news, the saints won their first pre-season game. I'm not sure if this is good or bad. I'm happy they won, yet it's been my experience that when they win in the preseason, they tend to lose in the regular season.

See ya later suckers!
