So I had to double check on the shipping status of some things coming my way, in hopes that they will be arriving by the weekend. The exhaust is the big one obviously, and the website still said 'processing' so I had to check myself. A very sweet lady said indeed it should arrive tomorrow, so baring any odd complications we should be ready to get that large project done.
For probably the third time. Still, better right than wrong and better good than bad, so blowing a few grocery budgets on a better exhaust will be both of those in one swoop, so I should be able to put a large check mark next to the exhaust part of the to-do list.
And by now, I r e a l l y want to get some progress made. Admittedly, I've been lackadaisical in my attempts at progress and have also been easily distracted by other shiny objects that happen to come into my line of sight. Like a small child, I can be. (and thank you Google Machine for helping me out with the spelling of lackadaisical. Geeesh.). Sometimes... it's just the word you need to use...
Yeah, some personal things have been there, like usual for me these days. Some of them may have a happy ending and some may not; always in motion, the future. (Thanks Yoda). Regardless, life has to go on and breath must be taken, so another weekend approaches and baring any sudden interruptions of awesomeness (which would be welcome albeit unlikely), I may be able to get some real progress this weekend on the bike.
Which I guess is why you may be reading this blog in the first place. The BIKE. Or maybe not. Irrespective of that factoid, it's my words and my stuff and my brain flatulence, so what comes out comes out. That's how it goes.
And yeah, I probably could have use different words for that part. Apologies, Dear Reader mam or sir.
But imagine for a moment how great this blog would be, should I be able to come out the other side of some of these personal challenges and maybe get a win or two. I, for one, feel I'm due for a little break in the sequence or a little bit 'o luck, so who knows. Stranger things can happen and do all the time. Sometimes things just work out in strange and wonderful ways, and I'd like to think I'm all about not wasting any of life's opportunities any longer.
So back to the bike. Thank GAWD! I am back on the train of black is the way to go so I will be painting up the brand new chrome exhaust and making all that appear like it's been showing up in my head for the past several months. Just the way to go; no doubts there. (Thanks, Watto).
Maybe the front brake braided line will show up by this weekend, too. Though it's not looking likely. Still, the exhaust will take a day to fully mount and seal up. Once that's done I do think I may grab a pen and paper and write up a list of to-do's and can't-dos and can't-affords. Maybe committing them to a sheet of paper will help me commit them to getting done a little better. I've actually given myself a deadline now, so maybe that will help as well. Usually does, even if I do wait till the last minute.
Hey- it's still a minute.
