Round Lake, NY back to Round Lake, NY

Total Distance: 10.00 Miles (Don't ask me how that happened)
Ride Time: 43 min
Avg. Speed: 13.8 mph
Max Speed: 38 mph

I went on a short little ride today, down the bike trail up and around back to the house. It was mainly to get out and about on such a beautiful day. Nothing too exciting happened. It was the first time I didn't bring my camel back, I just stuffed a spare tire in my seat bag. I strapped my pump to the bike and threw my phone and a credit card in a ziplock bag. Keeps they dry in the back pocket of my shirt. Why did I have time to go for a ride today? I'm glad you asked, I'm officially done at Curtis Lumber. Thank god. I was starting to go crazy. There was just no mental stimulation at all! The story of how I got my new job and left my old job is long and interesting. Ask me sometime you see me I love telling it. Anyway, I handed in my two weeks notice because I got a job where Sara works. CGI of Albany. My title will be Management Assessment Specialist or M.A.S. where Sara is a Contract Specialist or C.S. I am basically an auditor that travels once a week to different section 8 housing offices. Where ever the owners of the buildings or units keep there paper work. I meet with the owner or the company the owner hires to do the paperwork. I am basically in charge of making sure that no one is getting screwed over, mostly the government, HUD. Anyway after my two weeks notice was handed in Curtis decided to let me go home for both weeks, sweet! And even sweeter is that they are going to pay me one of the weeks, no clue why. So pretty much Curtis lumber is paying me $10/hr to write my blog, go biking and watch movies. Awesome!

In other news, we finally decked out our porches with as many $4.88 chairs as Eckerd had. And on Memorial day we threw a last minute BBQ/party. More people showed up then I thought would come and it was great hanging out with everyone.

I've seen a bunch of movies recently so here are my takes on them all:
X-Men: Awesome if you have seen the other two and know anything about comics. Other then that you might not like it.
Da Vinci Code: Great but not super great. Much, much better if you've already read the book. Everyone that hadn't read the book didn't understand anything. It's a good adaptation though.
MI:III: Not bad, great action movie. It was a little hard to watch because Tom Cruise is such a huge tool! But once you ignored that it was good.
Aeon Flux: Pretty sweet action sequences but not amazing, I liked it but I only paid for a rental.
Milwaukee, Minnesota: Amazing! It's a independent film that we just by chance picked up and it turned out to be very deep and have many levels. Some people didn't like it because I think they didn't get all the different levels it played on.
The Edukators: Thats really how they spell it. I thought this was great too, I actually didn't get to watch the whole thing but it had huge potential and made you think about life and all the ridiculous stuff we end up collecting as time goes on.
Brick: I actually haven't seen this yet but it looks like it's going to be amazing, I'll let you know.

Ride on!
