today is the first day of the rest of my life.
yesterday was a great day. Went riding with my bro's Ultrasquire, his lady, and the Gold-man. got up early, went to the flea mkt, then hit the road. All went well till on the way home some dumbass pinhead decided to stop in the middle of the goddam road
right in front of me.
so, the blond guy and his bike went in the ditch.
ouch.
don't panic, the bike runs OK (after we got it our of ditch, and I am only banged up a little. there was this tree, it was less than a foot from my head where I ended up.
and I have the best brothers and sisters here in Midgard.
Ultrasquire was able to stop a lot better than me, and he went to get his truck once he saw I was OK, left his lady to stay with me.
Made some calls, to tell the evil roomie, Gold-man, and Thor I went down, but was OK. Thor shows up like 12 minutes later, after the cops have come and gone. He got my ride upright and once Ultrasquire shows up with his wrecking crew...
jeez this had to have looked bad, cause he brought 2 guys plus him, and Thor was there too. Ultra's lady mostly kept me from helping.
anyway, be reminded. it could be OVER JUST LIKE *THAT* and then you are talking to Heimdahl at the bridge between worlds. If I'd had a bitch on the bump, we would have been seriously fucked up or gone.
Did I mention I have the best bro's in Midgard, Trimaris, or any other world?
this morning, slept in, and I am making some food when Ultrasquire comes a-knocking. He is with Sir Yoan and Shea on the way to practice.
We go in the shop. He has me smash the helmet I was wearing yesterday.
a perfectly good $100+ HJC, BTW. But it was his I was borrowing.
then the squad hands me a new helmet.
Holy shit.
This is brotherhood. I'm not quite ready to trade it for a bench in Wayland's smithy.
