fugg.. today didn't start off too good. up at 5:30 AM! pick tim up.. rally time. cruzin.. and i do mean cruzin. 19's looking clean.. oakenfold preaching on the kenwood.. starbuck in hand.. and the sun in just about to peek over the horizon.. then BAM!!! fugg.. "what was that?" ummm. "i think an asteroid but i'm not sure.. i'll take the next exit." hit the cherry ln exit then.. beep, beep, beep, oil light flashing. this can't be good. uhhh.. then.. yeah.. that's 5 quarts of oil on the ground. and it was a boulder, not asteriod, that ripped my oil pan open like a potato. not really much we could do besides let the oil drain.. and then push it to the next gas station so we don't have to pay to clean it up : ) just kidding for all you tree huggers out there. tim cook (btw.. tim's tx's newest cat II - congrats!) personally called the city of ft. worth and let them know about the spill. i just hope the bill i receive isn't too much for the valdez cleanup. i figured since the damage was done.. we might as well ride home. once the two truck arrived we threw on our leotards and were on our merry way. i thought, since we were in ft. worth, we might as well hit up some of my favorites westernly roads. simply beautiful.. god made roads like this so man could find his soul.. i was riding with purpose.. for the first time in a while, i was actually in the "zone". 2:00hr's into our ride my average wattage was 309 (ahhh yea.. the dream-o-meter) and the legs were just floating. maybe it's just being on my favorite roads again or maybe i was pissed. either way.. it was beautiful. as tim said.. "it could be worse".. but it was quite the contrary.. it was a pretty damn good day.. until tomorrow. then i have to start tearing my car apart : ( oh well.. -out surFy
