Yoo 463 - A Sign It Might Be Time For Bike Fenders


Be glad I posted the side-ish shot...the full-on backside shot was almost pornographic with khaki pants...because it didn't look like I was wearing pants?

Needless to say, it was a saturating ride home from work today. I pulled up to our little home sweet condo quite speckled in mud and looking like a horse had peed my pants, complete with a trail of mud right up my rear.

And that mud bath was the funnest part of my day!

I entered my house only to be alerted that a smoke detector, somewhere, was dying. They sure are pesky little things when they're on their death bed. Also, impossible to find. At first it sounded like it was coming from the hall. Then I swore I heard it in the bedroom. So I had a fun little sprint workout, shooting from room to room every thirty seconds and then waiting patiently for the next beep to either spur me on or confirm I'd found the winner (errr....loser).

Late April Fools.

It turned out to be the carbon monoxide detector. Three AAs! That is a demanding little sentinel.

Also noteworthy, if in the next life you are given the option of watching select portions of my life video, allow me to direct you to Sunday, March 31st at approximately 6:30 pm.

There I was, walking on the little trail by my house. It was right after a small rainstorm and a portion of the trail that dipped down was temporarily flooded. But! This happens all the time. Enter a bunch of rocks set up as jumping stones across the 10-or-so feet to the other side.

No big deal.

I skipped from rock to wobbly rock, carefully planning each hop. Annnnnd made it to the last rock with no problems.

But then I jumped to what looked like cement. But was actually a thin layer of super slippery mud.

*WHOOOP* *SPLASH*

My legs slipped right out from under me and I landed on my backside, quite submerged in the water.

There were no witnesses so I really need you to watch that and laugh, less it all be in vain.

Have a great day :-)
