I need some help with this Skymall magazine. I want to order the inflatable talking ear and nose hair remover.

I rolled off the couch pretty late this morning. It had to be no earlier than 8:30. After accomplishing all of my morning tasks, I did some misc. paperwork for school. Then I did a couple of algebra lessons. The clock hands showed 3, I did the dishes, and then headed outside. Mike still hadn’t found new parts for my bike, so I rode his new bike while he looked for those. Hmmmm…something just ran across the floor, but it moved so fast I couldn’t tell if it was mammal or invert. Reptile is hopefully out of the question! Anyway, I worked on my bike for like 2 hours. I am trying to get 1000 miles on that bike before the year is over. I need to break that down to daily amounts one of these days. I have almost 450 miles already on there. Once I hit that 1000 miles I’m going to take my whole bike apart. I want to clean everything and then grease it all up.

I was planning on going up to the library after I got my bike back together, but it took me so long that by the time I was done it was too late. I ended up watching “The Bee Movie” instead. I liked it pretty well. It had a lot of funny stuff in it. There’s one scene that’s on an airplane, and I was cracking up out loud (alone in the basement!) during the whole scene.

After the movie it was time to hit the books again. Books AND movies I guess, because my algebra lessons are on video. I just stopped working on algebra like 15 minutes ago. It’s like 11:40 PM, and I’m listening to “Letters to the President” by Hawk Nelson, which is the title cut from. the album. The ride in Galena was confirmed tonight. It sounds like it’s just going to be Chuck, Kenny, and me riding, with no sag wagon. I might ride up to the library tomorrow. I’m chomping at the bit to see how fast I can get to the library with a mountain bike. I can do it in about 28 minutes on a BMX bike. I should be able to do it in 20 minutes. I need to do some adjustment to my derailleur though, so that I can access all of my gears. There are some spots on the trail where I can just fly, but some of it is a lot of stop and go. When I go up to Fremont I can just pound the whole way there. Well, my eyelids are starting to collapse. I need to get some sleep, especially since I’m trying to get up at 6 tomorrow.
