Some days I LOVE life. Today was one of those days where life doesn't get any better.
I was sitting on Jamie's patio, drinking beer, eating wings, ribs, fries, onion rings, listening to the waterfall hit the pool and watching UFC on a warm hazy Saturday afternoon. Does it get any better than this?
I took a mental photograph of the moment and said out loud to Alice and Jamie, "Life doesn't get any better than this!!!" Then the beer delivery guy showed up with more beer and it got even better.
Alice and I didn't wake up until noon. I hoped to swim a 3.8 km race at 8 am this morning but they started without me. Damn, why didn't they wait?
Last night Jamie had me all "freaked out" that I shouldn't have left the car with the old owners after giving them my money and I made sure I picked it up today. We got license plates and insurance, kind of, and picked up the car and brought it to it's new home. I must say, out of all the cars I've ever driven in MY LIFE, this car drives the best.
For the first 5 km it was driving nice and then when I realized I still had the parking brake on and took it off it drove much better. Then when I realized I had the transmission on in D3 and not Drive, and changed it, it drove EVEN better. Alice followed in my truck and when I told her I drove it with the parking brake on and the wrong gear, she wasn't too impressed.
My training plan was to do a bike ride with Shaw today, but by the time I woke up and he finished work and I had to pick up the car and he had dinner plans, it wasn't going to happen. Instead, I decided to postpone doing a ride until Sunday and go to Jamie's to watch the taped UFC pay per view that I missed last weekend.
It was an AWESOME fight. AMAZING. Best UFC pay per view ever. It's interesting, since I met Jamie on a bike ride, I gained an Ironman buddy and more. I helped him get back into smoking cigars and opened up the world of UFC to him and he provided me with a Kegerator expert and party partner. It was a match made in hell. One day, we may even get back to training together.
Alice loves her new car. I love her car, and the kids love her car. After returning from an afternoon of slothing debauchery in Jamie's backyard, Alice, Reid and I sat in her new car, listened to some music, as I drank a glass of beer and the engine was running. Alyssa was beside the car with my laptop on my truck hood as she picked her university courses.
Like they say, "a family that's in the garage sniffing carbon monoxide together, stays together". Gotta go, it's time to set the back yard on fire. I mean, "it's time to have a Saturday night bon-fire in the backyard".
Today's picture is one that I found of Reid on my camera. Alyssa and him were playing around when we were gone. Nice job Reid. You do "one" triathlon and you think you're a real hunk. Reid says it's his new avatar for Face Book.

He is SO going to regret that picture at his High School graduation...HA! He even has a little attitude, that is awesome!
First off this video has me in tears HAHAHA, this is hilarious!
Just don't fill the kegerator up with the "special Kool-aid" or "Jesus Juice". The carbon monoxide sniffing night seems fun haha!
Is Reid imitating Naz in that picture? You should get a full size cardboard cut out of Reid for his graduation party in that picture. That would be revenge for the day he saran wrapped your toilet HAHA!
J, yeah, I was asleep, although hearing that it was rough water and a PB wasn't going to be set, I have no regrets. haha. Amazing swim for you, all things considered.
M, no kidding, I'm making sure I back that one up. haha
