I will upload pictures later. I went back out and installed the rear rack and was saddened to discover the Corbin seat will not fit with it in place. As luck would have it the stock seat I had ordered arrived yesterday and I found it waiting for me in the office. That too was a quick install, and now I have the best of both worlds.
In not a long I will down my Belstaff trousers and my Barbour International jacket and make the long ride out to the Mayo Clinic for my blood work. I will bring with me a can of Pepsi - for after - and my Volume I of the Patrick O'Brian series.
Make no mistake I have read all 20 books at least ten times apiece, but I decided to do so again in order. I began Volume I in December '08, and have since finished "Master and Commander" "Post Captain" "H.M.S. Surprise" and I am now working my way through "The Mauritius Command" which is also quite good though not one of my favorites. I am on page 1357, and the pages are thin as a bibles. What is most delightful is knowing that I have four more volumes of the series. All the same noble size as the first. It makes my heart glow - for reading about Aubrey and Marturin - it is like reading about old friends and old memories.
But now I must beg to be excused, I have to make my way to the hospital.
Before I go though, I will add a thought, an epiphany if I might say so myself. While I will copy and share posts between this blog and the old Xanga, the xanga is read by Brent - a somewhat nozy friend who likes to criticize my personal life and has even spied on it, and my Mother who all though all for my personal life being free and open - I would rather her not have an in depth look at it.
So this blog will allow me to talk about boys and such without concern to the reader, as the stranger is as welcome to my personal thoughts as I welcome my mind. But friends and family members are outsiders to these things and must remain so.
Ok, off to the hospital.
