It's a glorious day and my heart yearns to go out and ride my moped upon the dry streets. But alas, today it cannot be so.
Last Wednesday I went out for a night ride with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mattyc9, seant9, Rob, and Justin. Everything was going great until I asked Matt how his Puch was running. Historically, that moped has had problems with junk clogging up the carb. He said that everything had been fine with it for the past five months, and not 20 feet later it died on him. It died once or twice more during the ride, but mysteriously started up again each time after some random fiddling.
Anyway, we rode around Ballard for a bit, then over the bridge and west to Magnolia bluff. We accidentally went down a hill and into a National Guard base, but quickly realized our error and sped off towards the bluff. Justin ran out of fuel, but shortly afterwards we were gazing across the sound. 'twas dazzling.
Friday night I actually went to a fighter practice. Gasp! Alanna, Judith, and I drove way out to the east side for it. One of the bridges we drove over was closed due to flooding, and the whole thing was closed when we tried to get home. Another bridge further away was open though, so we just took it.
The practice was nice. I only did about an hourish of 1/2-3/4 speed work, but it was good to be back in armour again. I have a few things I need to fix too, particularly my shield handle, it becomes very painful to hold after 10 minutes. But yeah, there were five of us in armour (one knight one or two squires), and the atmosphere was very good. Teaching oriented, they even have a video camera with which to record fights and go over in more detail.
This week:
Must brew (tonight?). Greenspire's meeting tonight. Talking brewing atsablebadger's tomorrow night. Lab report and next pre-lab due Thursday morning. Work work work.
