The latest with me

[ImprovedRomeo]

FM, you're absolutely right. I did send a short email to the wife explaining her the situation and then saying 'let me know how you want to do this...'. She said that she totally agreed and suggested doing the 2 day on/off schedule like I was expecting. She suggested keeping her tonight and tomorrow then dropping her off on Sat and Sun. I told her I'd already given my word to DD that I'd pick her up today. Then 5 mins later I get a text from her saying she was already at DD's school and if I wanted her to leave or pick her up. I told her since she was there already and if DD was OK she should just pick her up. She then texted me back saying 'so are you ok with Sat/Sun'. I texted her back 'I have something going on on Sat but I'll let you know soon'. I don't really so after waiting 2 hrs I just replied "I'm fine with Sat/Sun".

Just got home, cleaned the litter box (two cats), put the trash cans inside, fixed the moutain bike gears and now trying to figure out what movie to watch while I'm having dinner. I was also thinking of other activities or hobbies:

1. Used to race cars, I still have one in pieces, I could start rebuilding that.

2. Started riding motorcycles a few years ago but gave that up "too dangerous" but still have the bike and thinking of dusting it off. In fact, would love to just take off for days, weeks, months - discover new places, blue highways...anyone read The Zend and Art of Motorcycle maintenance?

3. Always wanted to learn self defense, never did...maybe I'll try that - what 35yo doesn't feel great after getting his ass kicked by a couple of 12yo black belts?

4. Could learn to play guitars...it has many uses other than killing time: grow long hair, look grungy and women will be all over you is one of them. Could become a part time job outside Walmart too.

5. Mountain biking is another one...

I'd love to hear how you guys are keeping busy?
