The Bad News: Darth Lola needs both her head and base gaskets replaced; something that requires a complete engine rebuild (a 5-hour job)

The Good News: The parts are in stock – if they weren’t, it’d have been a 1-4+ week wait.

The Better News: Lola is still under warranty, for another two weeks – this couldn’t have happened at a better time (assuming it had to happen at all)

The Best News: I’m going on vacation, so they’ll work on Lola next week and she’ll be done by the time I return next Thursday so I’ll have her back in time for a glorious summer of two-wheel fun!

HOORAY!

Okay, it’s raining. Has been for some time. Yes, it’s June. Almost summer, even. Blah blah stupid rain blah blah where’s the sun blah blah hate being wet.

People, it could be SO MUCH WORSE:

current weather condition: dusty

Still whining? How about the upcoming week in Djibouti?

feels like breathing fire

Okay, some people like it hot. But how would you handle a forecast of impending doom?

cloudy with a chance of apocalypse

It could always be worse. Remember how beautiful our February was? This’ll go away soon enough, and we’ll have our gorgeous Vancouver summer. In the meantime, carry an umbrella and stop complaining. At least it’s not raining fucking spiders:

oh sweet jesus why

.. on second thought, maybe I’ll just never go outside again. Just in case.
