Cancelled, reptillius toiletus, well then why

So I cancelled my membership to Planet Fitness yesterday.  Of course I had just been billed so I am technically a member until mid-April.  My plan is to stick around PF for a day or two to get the word out to the people I would like to see come with me.  I was debating if I wanted to write a letter to Planet Fitness corporate to let them know exactly what sucks about their franchise. 

I just noticed yesterday that the owner may have been anticipating the opening of Retro and started to make some changes to make PF seem less nazi-like.  Gone is the sign by the bathrooms with a dozen rules that members have to obey.  Gone are the signs back in the free weight area that threatened members with immediate expulsion if they grunt, drop weights or swear.  I actually didn’t smell sewage yesterday either.  Oh well PF serves it’s purpose I guess, it’s cheap.  I won’t miss it one bit I can pretty much assure you.

Last night Ali informed me we had a guest, in our toilet.  It was a full size tree frog.  I would be shocked by this if it hadn’t already happened before.  Somehow the frog got into the drain pipes of the house, came up into the toilet and swam through the water until he made it to the bowl.

Ali was nice enough to leave the frog for me to capture.  I corralled our little guest in a big plastic cup and promptly returned him outside to the pond area.  It should be big upgrade from living in the septic system.

I emailed my dad about the latest Moto Guzzi situation.  He said he contacted the guy that worked on the bike.  The mechanic said that the ethanol that is now in most gas could be causing the problems with the float sticking.  The ethanol could attack the rubber in the needle/seat assembly.  The bike is so old that it is supposed to run on regular leaded gas.

I replied to dad that it would have been nice if the mechanic would have let him know of the potential problem before dad dropped a good chunk of change for all of the work that was done.  Dad gave me his blessing to sell the bike if I want to.  After hearing what Dad spent to get it running, I feel obligated to recoup as much money as possible for the bike to give to him.  The only problem is I don’t think there is much of a market for a 1984 Moto Guzzi with carb and electrical issues.
