Let me rant and let me ramble

Let me rant and let me ramble
Let me try and get a handle
On what's knocked me for a loop
Time to let the troops regroup

Recoup, relax, collect my thoughts
Retrace my tracks, connect the dots
It will take a while just to unscramble
Let me rant and let me ramble
Let me rant and let me ramble
Let me rant and let me ramble

fitting couple of bars from TMMB

Got a bunch of crap rattling around about bikes the season and all that stuff I normally babble about but no time to rant or ramble today.

Went from messenger bag to back pack for the first time this morning. picked one up on sale on Sat after the women's clinic (my daughter participated, I just hung out with Greg Wright and rode laps of the Wrentham MRC course) at the Mansfield LL Bean. Works pretty okay. After wed last week carrying too much (but all needed) stuff and tweaking my neck/upper back vertebrae (feels good today finally) it was time for a change. If I have to carry the laptop and clothes and shoes I think i can make it all fit in here, but barely, but at least it will be easier on the shoulder. Too many issues with that region this summer. An area running wont fix. Haven't run in what?Too long. Sigh. Oh well. Might try and get motivated tomorrow morning. We'll see.

I finally reg'd for VT weekend. The rusty race wagon made it to MRC and back. I have a vibration at speed, but I think I can attribute it to tires. Going to rotate to see if it changes and if it does i'll get em all spin balanced... hopefully that fixes it, would be a long drive to VT with a buzzing wheel. That said the car was wicked smooth in the engine/power side. I've got a rattle, I think it could be exhaust resonance or a motor mount or something that makes noise as the engine revs drop down to idle. Some stuff to figure out. Sun roof is leaking. i hate sunroofs. they kill the headroom for me, AND they always wind up leaking. Golf didn't have one, the new mini doesn't have one either.

Well this has been sitting. Just when I got on a roll rambling.

Save the ranting for later.
