A day off is a horrible think to waste

Today was a much needed day off. Not that my new job is horrible. Just three uber crazy days in a row can drain you. So I looked forward to sleeping in, riding my bike, and relaxing. I only accomplished one of these tasks.

At 6 this morning I woke up on my own accord. And again at 7. And yet again at 9. At this point I just lay there until 10 when I figured out I might as well roll out of bed. Not horrible, not great. Sometime after a quick breakfast I realized I should get my trusty old Mac to the Apple store to get it repaired. One and half hour wait. No big deal. 2 hours later I finally get to sit at the genius bar. An hour and half later I was informed that my 7 month hard drive was dead. Yipee.

So I made my way back to the house to get ready for my bike rides. I had planned to hit some local trails to get back into the flow of mountain biking. Then I was scheduled to lead the no-drop ride from the shop at 6:30. I got kitted up and drove the the trail head only to be greeted by a beautiful bolt of lightning as I put my front wheel on. Quick storm. No problem. I headed to the shop to make sure the group ride was still on and fix my broken chain. Once I arrived around 4 we checked out the radar. Without blinking we canceled the ride. Storm cells scatted for miles to the west of Cincy. Awesome.

The upside of the day was that I watch 5 episodes of "How I Met Your Mother". My Team Twin Six kit also showed up which might have been the high point of the day. This leads me to the conclusion that from here on out I will ride first and then take care of business on my days off.
