A great Saturday

So I woke up this morning feeling great. Went to IHOP with Todd and Spader this morning.
I have not eaten at IHOP since i was 12 the morning before we went to Disneyland in California.
It was pretty good, I watched Spader put down a SERIOUS amount of food.

We left from IHOP and went and played Baseball for a few hours.
SO MUCH FUN!
Spader is hilarious. He decided if you drop the ball and it was a fair throw, you have to drop and give him 10 push ups and the second time you have to give 10 sit ups.
It was super funny because we would count them out really loud in a deep voice like a drill Sargent.
None of us are like that at all.

From there we ran almost a mile. I wanted to die. Wow we are so out of shape.

The afternoon was spent working on mopeds!
I began rebuilding my second motor for the new puch maxi i acquired.
I got it port matched and started assembling it when we had to take spader home to his mom.
Todd dropped him off and i drove my moms car home. We had her car at the shop doing a few things to it and she needed it by 5.
Todd came to pick me up after words and we rode our mopeds back to the shop.
The weather was AMAZING. Perfect for riding.
My moped was running absolutely flawlessly. I was so happy.
We rode around for a bit and decided to eat lunch at M&N Sandwich shop.
BEST LUNCH I HAVE HAD IN A LONG TIME!
not to mention Norm (the proprietor of the sandwich shop) is one of the coolest guy alive.
He gets bummed if you do not order what he feels like making, Its so funny!
We left there and Todd's moped was running pretty bad. So we got back to the shop and decided to tear in to his bike.
I did not get anywhere else with my motor because we spent almost 4 hrs working on his bike.
We tried everything to figure out why the points were arcing.
finally i gave him my NOS (new old stock) condenser and that seemed to fix it.

From there we rode out to homes lake dog run to meet up with Cathy and Spader. The ride out there was so nice. Both bikes were running like fucking champions.
Being idiosts like we are we raced a little and we toped out at 45mph and mine felt like it had room to go still. Its so hard to believe these little motors can move a guy my size past 45mph with no gears, Its just a one speed.

We missed Cathy and Spader at the dog run so we rode around a bit longer and met up with them at Cathy's Grandmas place. There we sat out on the patio and cooked Burgers and Dogs.
It was a really nice night. We stayed kind of late and the ride home was chilly. We did not have jackets so its our own dumb ass fault.
From there we parted ways and i came home and Todd went home.
I got home and i realized it was way later than i thought. My watch was not keeping time.
Shortly after i got home my watch died.

You know how they say one thing has to die for another to live. Well that proved true today.
While my watch may have died my moped for the first time is truly alive.
