Good Times Bad Times..

I'm no tickle me emo..
I was talking in the last post about the Personal Restraint Course that I've just completed for Lakes DHB (and taken over the running of). Physical Restraint is a small and awful part of my job, I've not had to "go hands on" in four years now, which is awesome, preferring to use this and this.Thinking aboutthis quite a bit helps as well. Hell, I'm not ashamed to admit that I've done my fair share of this to avoid any rough stuff (well, sort of...I couldn't find a page entitled "Fast Talking"). I admit freely though, the thought of having to do anything like hold someone down again doesn't appeal at all...

In the post before last I realized that I broke the Internet with all the youtubery.
sorry to the 2 people that read this for that.. but there you go.

Matt K is having a fine old time riding the Day/Night Thriller this weekend for These Guys the importer of Santa Cruz and Ibis bikes in NZ. Hell, brother man even asked me to join the team for the weekend, since I live an hour away and am A) keen as tits on both SC and IBIS (and Matt K if we're being honest..) and B) hoping to become an Mojo owner real soon I was understandably thrilled to be asked and all... even if (especially if) it was in a reasonably last minute ring-in capacity. J-O-B requirements indicated that I stay in vegas for the weekend though, so I sadly had to pass.

I did get a ride in yesterday afternoon, and grovelled my broken ass around in the mud for a couple hours before turning all fire roadie and legging it back to the car.. Last evening was spent (and I shit you not) sitting under the stars in the redwoods watching a Troupe of Downs syndrome kids preform Maori Legends. It was a truly awesome (in so many ways) experience.

The House we're renting is still on the market you say? Looks like it's just had an offer put in on it? Even if we were told it was going to be taken off? Even if we've all but moved in? Even if I've talked to the landlady several times and it appears that she is lying straight to my face? sure is..Gonna make the next few weeks a bit interesting methinks. Leaving on a juvenile yet satisfying note, I love NWA, and this next here clip seems apt for so many reasons.
