New York, New York

Well its been a hot week. Last weekend was a nice weekend at the cabin. My bro and the rugrats were there. Fishing wasnt awesome but it was decent. Best fish of the weekend were a 18 inch delicious bass by me and a 14 inch crappy by my bro. Smatterings of decent northerns thrown in. I think everyone had fun. The cabin is now sporting a new spiffy dock. It will be nice to arrive at spring and not have a dock under water. Of course it means getting the dock in and out in spring/fall.

Busted a spoke on my wheel last night on the ride home. It led to a series of unfortunate events. First having to ride into Hopkins, to catch a bus, with my tire rubbing severy(a problem with having such few spokes on my wheel). Waiting at the bus stop to have the bus drive right by me. Leading me to believe that busses don't think people with bikes need rides. Getting on the bus, which was packed, to ride to the hennipin bus station. I felt like I was in a scene of a movie when a drunk patron got on the bus and started staring at a 20 something woman. Who with all her sister power starting yelling at the drunk asking why he was in her space. Now I understand the womens perspective but on a crowded bus no one really has space. Also I think she went a little over the top in her response so everyone in a small city could hear her. She then yelled at the bus driver to get the guy off the bus because he was a problem. I didn't know staring at someone could get you thrown off a bus but apparently it can. He did say something about her reminding him of a stripper as he left. I couldnt decide if that was funny or a good reason to throw him off the bus. Maybe Im being lame but I felt kind of bad for him. I then decided to walk a few block to where koogs was coming to pick me up. During this time my bike wheel was not turning from the broken spoke. It rubbed so much that it blew my back tire causing a load gun shot like noise, causing several people around me to, I kid you not, duck for cover. Then we went to Pizza Luce for some slices of 'za and all was good.

Soccer game at 6 and a softball game at 610. Cant really decide which one if either I want to go to. Anyway off to New York to take in some baseball. Gonna try and run while I am there. Starting to get nervouse about this triathalon I have in a monthish time.
