Thought Sausage

Today I swam my first swim meet (well, first as an old guy). Did pretty damned good for a guy who has been out of commission for 12+ years. Ended up winning the 100 free and taking 2nd in the 100 fly. For those readers who understand swim speak (which is like 2 of you probably), I went 0:55 in the 100 free and 0:59 in the 100 fly. Those times are of course, a lot slower than I swam when I was a kid, but I set a goal to go sub 1:00 in the 100 fly, and well shit, I'm already there after 2 months. Time to raise the bar ya dig?

At the going rate, it looks like I might actually have a fighting chance at this whole swimming thing. State is in 2 months. Of course, that's just the winter season. we've got summer and the Winter I season too.

In other news, I'm finally with digital camera. So maybe these entries will get a little more visual.

Projects in the works: making my own wine (if this works, I'm goin full bore..and starting my own label), outfitting mountain bike for the summer (some guys @ work know some good trails, so I'm in company), and initiating operation "bulk the fuck up" (now that I trimmed off all the phat, it's time to build some hurtin' bombs if I'm gonna push the fly time any faster).

I realize sandwichesofchicago.com is lingering, but I'll get it up and running.
