I haven’t updated in a while and I feel bad. I had electricians in my house for most of the day  today. They were nice chaps, but with the amount of time they spent here I’m really worried about the amount of money it’s going to end up costing. I haven’t been sent the bill yet and I’m worried. Owing a house really sucks at times.

Also, I went to the dentist the other day for the first time in about 8 years. It reminded me why I waited 8 years between trips. All he really did was check me out and clean off the tartar buildup, but that sucked. Now my teeth are constantly cold and it hurts. I think that tartar was like my mouth’s warm wooly winter blankey that the mean dentist man stole. Now they’re sad. I have to go back and get one filling in one of my wisdom teeth and a couple of fissure seals on my other teeth. I made him give me drugs since there’ll be drills involved.

Also, I’m going to go and testride a bike I’ve had my eye on for ages tomorrow. It’s the Sachs MadAss 125. Stupid name, but looks like a great little ride that fits my criteria of cheap, small and cheap. I just want something that’s going to be dirt cheap to run, that will get me from work to uni and back with the odd trip into the city and to the shops, and that will be small enough to park anywhere, filter easily and throw through corners. The bike is basically a postie with a big bore kit and a manual gearbox, so it should be a bit quicker than the standard CT110. That should mean it’ll cruise comfortably at 80 and get up to 90 when pushed. Fine for my needs. I just need to make sure that it’ll do it while carting my carcass up a hill. Thus, the test ride. I was going to go on Monday, but it rained all damn day. Tuesday I was at work so of course the weather was magnificent. Wednesday I had work in the morning then by the time I was done with the dentist there was no time. Today I had the sparkies in all morning then work in the arvo, weather again was glorious. So tomorrow morning, before work, should finally be the day, barring torrential downpour. I know I could go and ride it even if it rains a bit, but I’m wary of riding an unfamiliar bike in the wet, especially when my riding experience is pretty damned limited anyway.
