I pulled out my lumbering hulk of a mountain bike this weekend with the faint hope that I might be able to salvage it. It’s been sitting in the bike locker for almost two years so it was in need of some work. With a can of WD-40, a rag and a tire pump that I found in the locker I was able to get it going enough to take it for a spin.

It still needs work but it was fun to go burning around Stanley Park and the seawall. It also saved me some cash (of which I have none) because I was really giving some thought to buying a cheap one to rip around on. On Monday I even ran into Jen and Annie Ho who were jogging on the seawall. I almost felt healthy…

I need to do something to stem my ever burgeoning waistline and this is a good start. I don’t think I could run very far before my lungs would decide to depart my body but this way I can get the heart rate up and maintain it at a manageable rate. Yay me…

I also have good news on the job front in as much as I have found one. Nothing has been signed yet but it should be finalized late this week or early next. Right now it’s a three month contract doing server support but there’s a realistic chance that I could be made full time after that. Maybe if I wear tight clothing for three months…

FYI, the new banner is a picture that I took of the North Shore from the 24th floor of the Coast Hotel. Ain’t I artsy?
