NSJ: crashed the NFE on the way to work this morning. There was a fibre optic cable or similar across the road and it tangled in my front wheel and sent me down hard in an intersection. Plenty of grazes/bruises, nice bump on the head and I’ll need a new helmet. SJ: could’ve been much worse, I basically shot into the next lane cos I couldn’t steer, could’ve been taken out by a car quite easily. NSJ: ouch. ---

Neck is still a bit sore from the whiplash. Head is still tender but only if I push on it really hard so I just don’t do that. Grazes on my arm are a horrible weepy mess which is annoying rather than painful. ---

Yeah, went to a Medicare urgent care place. Got checked by a doctor who spent more time telling me about his property portfolio than he did checking my symptoms. A truly bizarre experience. ---

Buy low sell high apparently. Also have a high income, preferably that of a doctor or higher. And still complain that interest rates mean that you worry about every cent. I told him to sell at least one of his properties and spend more time with his kids. I refrained from ranting about property hoarders ruining the housing market for everyone. ---

Been loving the Comm Games track cycling. Good to see the tandems getting plenty of air time. Amongst all the top shelf equipment I spotted a Sugino Zen chainring, Dura-Ace NJS hubs and a Welsh dude riding a BT Stealth. Funny in the team events there’s often one rider who opts for their preferred bike over the standard team issue. I know those Hope bikes have been developed anround enhanced aerodynamics, but fuck me they’re ugly. ---

Story time. So i walk into Footlocker looking to pickup some runners for my boy, he recently received some vouchers for his birthday. So i ask them for the shoe and size and wait for them to grab it. Next minute, a random guy taps me on the shoulder asks if id like to partake in some trivia, put it up on some socials and potentially win a free pair of shoes. Hell yeah. So we go through some random WA based sports trivia, i get some right and some wrong, but BOOM…i get a free pair of shoes! Sweet! Free pair of shoes for my boy. At this moment Footlocker guy says they dont have the size for my boys shoe. Trivia guy says dont worry mate, just choose whatever, pick the most expensive pair. So i walk out with a $300 pair of Jordan 3s. yyeeewwwwww ---
