Its been a few weeks...

...since I last made an entry on the Blog..

Work has been real busy and finding time to do most things is not good.  Chores?  Hah!  I have a backlog, a pile, a mess of things still to do and am living off borrowed clothes and bits at the moment.  Things are charging ahead in prep for the holiday.  I have virtually all that I need bought - clothing - earplugs for the bike, portable disk storage, etc.. For sure Amazon have just has a lot of business off me!  Shame though that Force4 chandlery have been unable to find a Gill (coastal) sailing suit for me - I need to wait until December when the new XXXL stock comes in.  It would be quicker to lose weight...

This weekend I will be out Saturday lunchtime with some of the family on a small birthday dinner.  Then Sunday for a wee beer and a bite with some long time good schoolmates / friends.  Hoping to have a quiet weekend as I should be trying to relax and wind down a little on the run up to the trip.

Friday the 19th will be a final night out with the other half of the family (don't ask long story) - at the Ryther Arms for a very nice (I hope) steak and bits...  Saturday 20th about 2pm I'm away and God, how soon time has come around.  I still have about 100 pages of pre read to get thorough before I get to San Francisco and the sailing - well - a bit if light reading at the weekend won't hurt eh?

So nearly here - and all I find is that work is consuming me - massively.  What will I do for 3 weeks away from the rat race.  Probably wind down, enjoy myself and then get the reality shock when I get back on the 12th November.  Ah well that is still over 4 weeks away so why worry about that now.

No bike vid to share this time.  I have been practicing and now am a bit quicker at getting the clips together for you tube.  I'll paste the links as I travel - so watch out for some scenic runs and a bit of personal commentary over the coming weeks.  Move vid and less photo / typing is what I say.

Have American Football on at the mo - I just found out that the BBC has it on iPlayer!  Thanks BBC for advertising the fact!  Thanks BBC for doing it anyway - is good - see... http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01ngqk6/American_Football_Live_Matches_2012_13_Season_Houston_Texans_at_NY_Jets/
 First down and 10 Baby!
