On the Road Again

It has been a while since I last posted. I was having Vista issues. It seems that as nice as microsofts new OS looks, it is riddled with issues. I ran into one last week and spent most of my time doing research in to the why and how to fix it the bug. I still have not found a solution that I expect from a company the size of Microsoft. I eventually tricked the OS into a repair. IE7 still will not dispaly and Google Earth depends on explorer. I am considering reverting to XP and setting up a secondary Linux OS.
To all you Mac enthusiast's that are thinking "You wouldn't have these issues if".... I would if I could pony up the dough.

Anyhow, winter is receding in Cleveberg. Today was ideal for a longer bike ride outdoors. It has been a while since I have spent more than 45 minutes on the road. It is nice to just be out doors. I decended. I climbed. I danced with traffic. I felt the wind without worrying about my electric bill. I rode into the Chagrin Valley by following my favorite route. After the ride i jumped off and added a 2 mile brick run.
These are my favorite workouts. This is when I can just takeoff and fly. Disappearing into the hills of northeast Ohio. Sometimes I run into a friend, but mostly it is just me and my bike. Getting away for an afternoon does wonders for my mind.

Ironyman moment

I got a traffic ticket yesterday.
Now I will bet you are thinking, "I thought you didn't drive?".
I don't. I wasn't even on my bike. I was crossing at the tail end of a red light in front of my apt. Half way across Coventry, the light turned green. I stuck with the base stealing code. I had already committed and was heading head first into second base. At second base waited a Cleveland Heights police officer ready to apply the tag. Jay Walking!!!$85. The cost of the fine can't justify fighting it and loosing a day of work. So, I must pay the man.
It must have been a slow night.
