In other news, I keep getting friend requests from a french guy with my last name. Of course, I don't speak French so I don't know what his message says. I am pretty confident, however, that we are not related so I'm inclined to ignore his requests...

I thought of Aero, Ray, and Phats today. I bumped into my friend Jodi at June lake; we talked about Everest Challenge coming up. I offered her a place to stay, like last year. I reminded her about the vicious dog-beasts and evil chickens. In return, she said that although she and her man will be out of town this week, that I can crash at her house in June Lake the night before the triathlon. She reminded me not to leave any food in my car and to lock the doors to deter the sneaky resident bear. Love the eastside !

I have found that the trail to Leadville actually has a lot of downtime. Now that most of my time sucking hobbies and limiters are gone I have a lot more time on my hands. So after my 2.5 hour trail hill run I am drinking water, heating a bratwurst and starting the rebuild of the Blade, formally known as the "silent assassin". I found some Goo Gone in Cali and used it to de-sticker the truck. Now I'm sufficiently impressed that I will goo gone the Litespeed frame. I thin Andrew suggested Goo Gone? Or was it rita?
