Bigger, Live, Fast

On Friday night I became motivated to install my new Gleam toilet. I had watched a few videos about the install and determined it should not be all that difficult, it wasn’t. As always I had a few bumps along the way but got the install completed in a little less than two and a half hours which included me running to Home Depot to get a longer water line hose. The new toilet looks nice, is higher, and flushes well.

Of course like most significant home improvement projects I made a video documenting the process.

My Saturday was pretty chill. I made arrangements for Ali and Shugs to come down during the afternoon. They had never had a chance to see my new place. We had a nice time chilling, drinking and watching the original Karate Kid movie which Ali never saw. Afterwards we went to dinner at Carrabbas and enjoyed a nice meal. It was nice to have them visit, Elsa sat next to Shugs most of the time.

On Sunday I took my Patton out for a speed test. I got it over the 40MPH mark but encountered warning beeps afterward which made me cut back. I thought I was at 100% battery for the test but it turned out I wasnt so that could have been part of the issue.

I did some chilling afterwards, watching another couple episodes of Game of Thrones.

Today I met up with Jason the guy I helped with learning to ride about a month ago. He gave me back my V10F that I let him borrow while he was in the stage of learning where you drop the wheel a lot. He has done close to 350 miles since I last saw him and he is riding much, much better. In total we did somewhere close to a 10 mile ride. At the end of it I even let him try my Kingsong S22, a much heavier and powerful wheel than the V10F. He handled it better than I expected, riding it cleanly around the lot for several minutes. He is down to ride whenever I want so I expect us to roll together more in the future.
