Right?

.
.
Not... today, or tomorrow.  But soon.  I was too tired, when trying to do this.  Something was just off.  Won't try it then.  I have to be able to have my head in the game, fully.  But, I can begin planning, thinking, considering.

Here are a couple of vids.  I probably have watched these, or ones like them.  Just not recently enough.  Was so excited to be going out, that I... left go of my senses.  Hey, it happens.  Could have been worse, if I'm still not sure I can quite label it "lucky".

Been thinking.

.
.
The bike, and myself, front over front.  I rolled... forward... three times.  He said I looked like a kid having a tantrum.  I... was infamous for that, as a toddler.  Or... so I have been told.  It fits.

The bike?  I don't know.  I'll ask more.  Thirty miles an hour?  Hmm.  I had imagined that I would have been flicked, sideways.  He says no.  I'm not sure.  Thirty is pretty slow for a bike and bigger rider to tumble?  The only thing I sort of think I might remember was feeling that the throttle was stuck, and that I wanted to find the breaks... front.  I felt stuck, trapped.

Oh, just... thinking out loud.

May have to ask someone what they think.  Yeah.

When did I go to sleep?

.
.
Good question.  I started that last post at 16:23.  It couldn't have taken long to finish and post.  And I pretty much just crashed after that.  I was tired beyond tired.  Barely got into sleep clothing.  Just didn't want to sleep with regular clothing and had just enough going not to do so.

Up at 2:45.  A shorter sleep?  Strange, but okay.  A bit weary, not tired... sleepy.  I have been doing so little, that what little I did yesterday hard on me.  Haven't been able to do much.  So, sure.

Hmm, well?

.
.
Still awake at nearing eight?  Trying to push on around.  If that is possible.  Warmth helps.  Last night, at nearly midnight, it was still 50 outside.  This morning it is only 44 (which is... comparatively to recent temps, quite warm).  It is probably only that cool because it is sprinkling.  Did it rain?  Or has it just been, more just begun, sprinkling?  I would guess the latter.  There just isn't a lot of moisture out there.

I did get out for food.  Had to eat something.  Not the best, but food, sometimes, is food.  And, sometimes, any food would do.  Any... food.

Wasn't even sure how to tell?

.
.
I know if the bike has stock front springs and rear shock, those will need to be adjusted, immediately.  But, more, in short order, will need to be change.  On-road driving, mostly, shouldn't be a problem.  Assuming no potholes or irregularities.  But, even a bit of off-road and bottoming out will become an issue quickly.

This first video is how to change the front springs.  Will this be enough?  That I can't say.  Well, I can say, alone, they wouldn't be enough.  Of course, some things were done to the bike already.  This might be one of them?  I'll be able to tell easily, now that I know what I am dealing with.

She... cheats.

I... don't mind.

Memories to thoughts, she... knows the game as good as I ever did.

Awake for a while now?

.
.
I slept long.  Very long.  Not enough air flow through the house, was choking, I think.  Opened the window a crack, near the sleeping roll.  Helped.  But really needed some sleep.  Rest.  When I woke, I opened another window up there.  I need air.  And, am getting it.  The computer, front, room is cluttered.  Full of boxes again.  That isn't helping.  But, closing up the windows... this house is very tight.  You just have to crack things a bit, to get some fresh air, or you'll choke.  Ugh.

Dreams.  Women.  No sex, just... cuddling?  I think so.  Women can be so... plush.  Even the skinny ones, somehow.  Wonderful dreams.  Clean, comfortable, warm, fuzzy.  Life can be so... wonderful.  Sure, just dreams, but dreams of times not all that long ago.  Like women or not, they are wonderful to snuggle up with, and more.  But... this was just the plush warmth of resting together.

What's in your purse?

.
.
Hahaha!  I don't care.  Now, what is in your bike kit?  That... peaks my curiosity.

I have been looking that various kits from different folk.  What do I really need?  How soon do I need it?  You could spend a true fortune on bits, baubles, specialty and standard tools, lifts, jacks, and a chemical lineup from oils, greases, metal welds, to radiator fixes.  Seriously.  I have put most of what I have seen into my cart, and I'd guess, with everything, so far, I'd hit $1500 just on these listed items.  BEFORE hitting upgrades, updates, riding kit, or better/more tires.

I crashed.

.
.
I think it was around... hmm... I should say, sometime after 10:30.  But, at 10:30 or 11:00, perhaps as late as noon?  In there somewhere.  I don't remember AFTER 10:30.  But insomnia will do that.

Sleep was gorgeous.  I used the electric blanket, which really helps.  Once I get warm, after that initially shiverfest from getting in cold, I sleep so well and pleasantly... as if on clouds.  I don't need heat for long.  Just... long enough to create a bubble, warm the body, then it takes over.  Delicious sleep.  And, that wound doesn't hurt... as much, as often.  The cold is a part of what causes it such pain.  Perhaps why it isn't healing?

Snow.

.
.
Just not down here in the valley?  From what I saw, no.  Only looked from the upstairs window, so... the area I can see and angles and such mean I could have been mistaken.  But, if there is snow, it is tucked in corners, anything that might remain.  But, snow even so.  Just in the mountains.  Beautiful.

I am a bit surprised.  It was down to 34 when I went to bed at around 4:30.  Though it seemed to have stop raining very shortly after I went to bed.  I slept quickly, but... the sound of rain is so pleasing that I often hear it right on into sleep.  It seems to have shut off quickly.
