Alix and I sat down on Sunday (8/24/2004) and talked about which race dates we'd like to hit before the season is done. 3 came up. That's great, except the first one is 9/27/2004, so I better get my act together. We worked out the schedule and it looks like I have just enough time -- no room to slack though.

This week I need to take the bike to get the frame straightened and mount the motor before the weekend is over. Emailed Mr. RPM about that. Might have to call him if he doesn't get back to me today.

Got the check from CyclePages finally! It was postmarked 8/20/2004, which is several days later than they said they'd sent it out. Bastids. Whatever, I don't give a shit. I'm probably never gonna see the full amount.

Speaking of money, called up AAMCO yesterday and Sal (the owner who took over for Clay) told me he wasn't gonna reimburse me. Unbelievable. That's after I explained to him on the phone everything about how the car was kept in the shop for so long and how Clay told me to hold on to it. I can't believe this guy. More shit to do -- gotta make an appointment at SF small claims court and get the process started.  ¶ 6:23 PM
