Change of plan...

I've the fates attention now. Along with the rain and equipment issues that happened the other day (see previous blog), now the bike has a flat. I guess I rolled over something sharp or pointy along the route. Well, the bike has been needing some maintenance, cleaning and adjustments, so off to the shop it will go...

Along with the main bike, my much older bike will have to go into the shop. It'll get a mtb slick tire put on the rear and check both tubes and lube the workings. Make it into a light duty trainer/spare bike.

In the meantime, I'll have to use the elliptical trainer. It is almost a completely different type of workout, but after using it you certainly know you just got a great workout. In the times I have used it, I finished a workout and nearly felt like a hospital visit may be a good idea. Helluva a good workout.

In Overlord I've found myself in the another tight spot trying to get myself and some blue minions past yet another water serpent. In case you haven't played Overload, the blue minions are about useless in fighting, but they are great medical type support. Sending blues against any enemy will generally result in a lot of dead blues. I've some ideas so maybe if I get home early from work I'll test my plans.

For you living under a stone or in a cave, there is a cat-4/5 hurricane in the Caribbean. It is going to pass over Jamaica sometime tomorrow morning, then the Cayman Islands late Sunday or early Monday. Looks like it'll pass over Mexico's Yucatan peninsula on Tuesday morning and hit Mexico's Gulf coast on Wednesday night. Naturally, those predictions are based upon a highly variable path that depends on a lot of factors.
