This has been another tough week! Let's start with current news... Yesterday I went home for lunch to eat leftovers. 30 mins after eating I felt queasy and sick to my stomach. I laid down and felt bad the rest of the night. After hours of stomach issues and vomiting, I knew I had food poisoning. Took the day off work and stayed in bed all day. Thanks to Jeff for dropping off Amodium AD, salt crackers, ginger ale, club soda and excedrin. I feel alot better then I did last night. Thanks Jeff!
Yesterday I was messing with my bike stem trying to get a lower front. While tightening I heard a loud snap! The stem broke on the opposite side of the bolts. Shit! This is a magnesium stem made by ITM. They normally run about $300.00 or so and weigh a scant 90 grams. I guess having it break while doing maint. is alot better of it failing during a ride. aka: face plant or a gouged chest for starters. I ordered a new stem (not carbon) which should arrive in a few days.
On another note, I got an email from HQ's requesting my career intentions. I am up for transfer next year and need to decide if I want a extension here, re tour, or transfer to another office. Big decision needs to be made before the 22nd of January.

ReplyDeleteDo you really have a choice in staying in paradise or going elsewhere? Tell 'em:"Thanks, I'll stay for the duration... get back to you in 2020." What do you mean, precisely, when you say "leftovers?" How long had they been left? I did my semi-annual bike cleaning last week, the only time I mess with my bike, so I really don't emphasize with those who can't leave well enough alone:)
