Attemped Ride and another trip to NY

Next week I'm off to New York again. Same place, same machine. The work will be long and repetitive, but it should make the time go by quick. The last time I was there everyone was great. The locals are very kind and really it felt the same as Wisconsin. It has definitely been nice going on a couple of tese trips latley. The extra cash is really nice and this time round I'll be saving most of it. The work has been simple so far, but its really nice not having to stress out on my first couple trip expeiriance. I'm going with the same two guys I had before. They're great guys, but I don't know if I can ever get enough sleep working with them. We're in the car at 5:00am and back at the hotel at 7:00 or 8:00. Now doing that for five days in a row really takes it out of me. I'm young, so I know that I shouldn't complain. All I have to do to get through it is think about the check (that works good).

This last tuesday I attemped to go out for a road ride. The weather was favorable, but windy. The only thing that I failed to take into account was that the roads in neihborhoods still had a lot of slush and ice on them. My usual route out of town was completely blocked. I chickened out after some close encounters with cars and came home. I got a whole two miles. I guess I'll just have to get ready to ski again hopefully. On that note, I had crashed the last time I went out on our saturday group ski. My boot got really messed up and I havent tried real hard yet to fix it. The metal bar at the front was bent sidewase when my ski popped off. I havent given up on it yet.

So we'll see when I have more time to write. I'll be awake, working, then sleeping for most of next week. (Computer should be here on tuesday and I won't be here :(
