what a day......

This week is my finals week at school I'm finally graduating. today was also my big final match in intramural soccer at school. I woke up early to go to the library to get some studying done before the 4:00 pm exam. I got to my car and the $300 mitsubishi mirage(91) didn't start. I got my bicycle and started pedaling to school. 3 miles later I get a flat on the bike. I walked back home and on my way home it started to rain really hard. I got soaked but made it home. The rain stop and I said great I can take the hyper. I took the hyper and made to school ok.

I finished my final and played the game which we won 2-1. Numero 1. after the game we decided to celebrate and go to eat at this big gas station that they sell ok food. on the way to the gas station the hyper shut off. I was just 4 blocks away from thte gas station. I opened the the seat to check the battery. One of the conectors was brocken. I left the bike in a parking lot and left with my friends to the gas station to celebrate. I said fuck it, I will deal with it later. after celebrating I asked a truck driver for some electrical tape. he gave me a role. ( cool truck driver ). I taped the conectors and made it home ok.

I think it broke either i had too much weight on the back seat or maybe because I lost the bracket that holds the battery in place.

what a day I had, I'm still happy we won and I have story to share.

Lucky you didn't sit in some wet paint, that would have really topped the day off!

there is icing on the cake, My mechanic called me and said that the timing belt when out on the car. but luckily there is no bend on the valves.

When it rains, it pours...until it stops raining, and then your battery cable breaks.

If I'd have had a Hyper when I was at school.........I'd have been way cooler than I was.
At the time I'm sure I thought that would not have been possible.

Kids today..........little shits

Times they are a changing jp

So what gives yabo?

How does education + posibley some part time work, support a Hyper?
...and a bicycle ...and a car (that needs a timing chain), ...and possibly roller blades, as your last 'flintstones hope at mobility'

I'm intrigued...

No offense intended... just curious.
