Snow Day!

I love snow days! I tend to be very productive & I even get up early and any one who knows me I'm not a morning person and don't bug me until atleast 9 a.m. Well this has to be my laziest snow day, I fell back to sleep after I got the call and didn't get up until 10, still have a chance to be productive right....mmm maybe? Had breakfast and did get out and clear the snow, back in the house check my email and read some blogs and have a snack. Later headed over to my parents' place and clear their side walks and drive way. They live on a corner lot, whole lot more snow to remove, it took 2 hours which should taken me one. Boy I'm getting slow in my old age? No, just inch of ice on top of the snow plus my dad didn't have extra gas for the snow blower so I had to had get some more. Personally I rather do it with a shovel.

At least was thinking about cyclocross racing & how I'm going to miss the Cross my Heart this Sunday since my back is out of whack and didn't get my back adjusted today and the doc doesn't want me racing until she is happy with my back. If it was in middle of season I would be going nuts but this only one race, off season. I've been keeping my cyclocross fetish in check by reading the blogs and buying parts. I couldn't help myself after Christmas, there where all these deals and big % off sales. I got some stuff in the other week and the rest is coming in next week, I think I will keep you guys guessing, LOL! If you want someone else teasing you, check out Yash's Zanconato Cross bike. Pretty sweet if you ask me.

I had to laugh last week when Jason comment on my last blog about my work in my basement, hate to say I don't work on my bikes in the basement, but upstairs in front living room on my of all things 20x15 foot Belgian rug. Don't get upset about me messing up a good rug, I bought it at a yard sell back in college & it's a little worn. But nice enough to work barefoot. Sorry didn't find any bike pics but Elwood sitting on the Belgian rug will work for me. I might not tell you yet what I got plan for my Rock Lobster but I'll tell you what I'm lusting for. There's not too many areas on my bike to lighten it up any more except maybe running Shimano 7900 but I don't see that happening. So the seat post is my best bet. I have a generic one on now, I don't think it's that heavy but the Woodman Post EL is 85 grams for 250mm post. Now that would save me weight. Later this weekend I should have my parts and new wheel set, opps I said too much. Don't worry it's not another carbon wheel set, I wish.
