after work and a trip to the bike shop, here's how my day went.

riding my bike yesterday was so much fun! after i installed the new seatpost and put the seat on, i walked the bike to a nearby gas station to fill the tires. this trip was necessary as josh has my air compressor. once the tires were filled to 50psi each, i was off to the races. once home again, i put my laptop in my backpack and headed for the coffee shop. i was going to blog and when josh arrived, we were going to catch up and play a few games of chess.

by the time i reached jone's, i had worked up a mild hunger so i purchased a strawberry muffin. it wasn't very strawberry-y. as i was eating it, my friend danny passed by. he was on his way to davinci's and was passing by the coffee shop. he stopped and and said hi. we chatted for a short while and then he left. i noticed there were two other people playing chess as well. i did not know them, and wanting to meet them, i went over and introduced myself. the first guy spoke quite softly and i couldn't make out his name. but the other fellow's name was matt. i asked if i could play in the next game. they were quite welcoming and accepting my self imposition. however, as they were playing their game, becca called and notified me she was on her way.

she wanted to show off her new shoes. she had bought some new clothes too, and was anxious to model them as well. she was also getting hungry and suggested we go to her parents' house (where there was already food prepared) and eat. i was quite ready for supper and was excited to go because her father was there and i've not met him before. he's in the air force and consistantly not home. so we left and i took a raincheck on the chess game with matt and soft-spoken man.

becca's father was caught up in filling out financial aid forms for one of becca's sisters so he was unable to hang out. we did get introduced though. after eating, becca, two of her sisters, and i went to a different coffee shop. they were all going to do homework. i felt left out and got really excited for homework when school starts in the fall. yeah, i know. that sounds silly, getting excited for homework. i'm just weird i guess. we weren't there for very long and i spent the time rewriting a poem i was working on. since it was getting late, becca's sisters went home and becca gave me a ride to my place. she came in for a bit to work on her homework, and i lounged and chatted with ben for a bit before he retired to bed.

and now with everyone gone, i am blogging and recounting the day's events as well as looking forward to tomorrow. i plan to visit the paintball shop, pick up a few things, and then get my gear ready for the season. i have lots so it'll keep me busy until i have to be at work. speaking of work, i have only one closing shift this week! w00t! and speaking of changing the subject, here's the pics of my new seat post:

this pic makes the seat look really tall! i hadn't adjusted it to where it needed to be yet. but after the adjustment, it only lowered slightly. lol! pleasant dreams all. goodnight!

cheers!
