Try again?

Stopped at Fusion Cycles, having seen a recent story in the local paper about them having organised a local derby/criterium race. Seems that sometimes I see someone in their colours too, so I thought to drop in, have a sticky beak around, as it were. Mainly seem to cover Cannondales and Orbeas, not that we hold that against them - actually, they had a BMC SL-01 up the back in the 2nd section, but was 54cm + 105s ... But, for all that, ... Anyway, on way out, just thought to ask re pricing/timing for havinga look at my back disc, as still had not been rectified, and New Farm Bikes refused to touch discs, apparently ... So, next thing I know, $100 later, I have front + back brakes that have had the pads completely replaced - the front had worn down to the metal :o - and both been reseated, although, you would expect that, given that the cables were also replaced ... All I can say is that I seriously hope (+ pray) that this tax $$$ comes through ASAP ... lol
Have made the effort to be proactive, at least via the internet on PoF (Plenty of Fish - wonder if the notion of irony ever occurs to the company about that name???) and have actually got as far as chatting with a girl called Mo ... Seems quite nice - older, almost as tall, seems smart, but scared, so maybe hurt in another life, and is recovering? But then, aren't we all? Going to visit friends in Redcliffe next w/e so I have invited to drop in on way back, so we shall see, we shall see ... There would seem a panopoly of wonderful femmes out there, although in the main, profiles are so mundane and repititve, that I find myself appealing/responding the gems in the rough, as it were. Still, good practice, and all, for better or worse - oh wait, is there a downside to all this?
Fantastic feeling riding about, enjoying the sensation (s) except that every time I go over a bump, it jolts my ribs, causing further agitation and pain! But, I must go back to the training and riding, so plan to ring Velo later today to discuss SLX-01 options!!! The 2nd part of this grand plan is to start (again) my six week build up to the Gold Coast 100, especially as it is fitting in so well with the other plans. Actually, seems that October will be a very, very busy month - WC, GC 100, Lost Domain ... At this stage, there seems to be a spare w/e in there, but that will probably be taken up with moving, hey? We shall see, we shall see ... Anyway, clavicle is sore, and it is difficult to lift things above my head, but it is not the same as my ribs, which are a continuous ache ... But I am missing riding so, so much ...
Hmm ... in other news, got some numbers in Lotto this w/e :) so will have to ascertain what to do with my fantastical winnings ... Seems to be a real wireless lo spot here - sitting behind Powerhouse (hmm, wonder if they have wi-fi I could access?) watching dog park and people going by, on foot, on their bikes, but a rather pleasant Sunday afternoon, by all means ... Oops - almost time to head off to see Coojee play at Jubilee Hotel, if I can ever find it, that is ... ;)
