Fuckin' rode the bike like a motherfucker

Went to Christine's house with an freshly built W2K computer in a messenger bag to see if I could make the modem work. It was the first bike ride of 2003 and it was pretty grueling. The new bike is pretty cool though - the 8 speeds come in handy and the shocks are insanely great. I gotta figure out how to use the left speed grip and tighten the brakes. It was a fuckin' haul over there. Going up the stairs of the Kozkiusko Bridge, I thought i was gonna collapse but I pushed myself in the cold and got there. Anf then I couldn't make the damn modem see the phone line! error 630 = no dial tone. Grrrr. There's a fucking dial tone. I just left it all there and rode back. I'll go back soon. Gotta research whats going on. Now I'm checking http://www.b3ta.com/challenge/pets/ and gettting ready to crash. I miss Jasmine. Aren't those pictures cute in the last post? They're frames from Yahoo Messenger 5.5 http://messenger.yahoo.com/messenger/download/dinstructions.html
Between that and Microsoft NetMeeting, we've been able to videoconference pretty effectively. I'm hoping we can use it to pass the time until we see each other again in the flesh.
