YESTERDAY:Another 17 miles-Previously did 5 miles on blades the day before, and 10 miles on the mountain bike on sunday...........I get heart palps about 30 minutes into it, then its touch and go the rest of the way. I have to stop and rest when it happens, but I try to work through them albeit MUCH slower. These damn (medical) tests better get done soon..........Been waiting for weeks!!!

Good GOD, I did 17 miles on the bicycle yesterday

What the hell was I thinking? I thought I was gonna DIE! I figured since I was BLADING for the past couple months, I could do it. Well I DID make it, but MAN was I tired. Shoulda done about HALF that I think! The 1st 60 degree day and EVERYBODY was out huffing on their bikes. So I take my cannondale in to get derviced-The big ring had warranty repairs and they also warranty repaired and relaced my clips. So I got new toe clips, new big tru-vativ crank ring, and innertube replaced FOR FREE. Gotta love Eriks Bike shop!!!

NORMAL! They say my Stress Test came out NORMAL, and this means just as you have a noise in a car engine that goes away when you take it into the mechanic, the tests will continue!

Watch the Monkey do tricks!!!

So they hooked me up to the holter monitor friday. I wore this thing, and OF COURSE just like a person who hears a noise in his car that goes away as soon as he takes it to the mechanic, I had very little palpataions occur!

Of course at bowling today, I had a pretty bad occurance. BOWLING! I said BOWLING!!!

NOT biking...NOT BLADING....

FIRGGING BOWLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God help me!

Next on the Discovery Channel: I go get my stress test at 7:30 AM Monday!

RIP RAY!

So whats going on this month man? This sucks! I get a phone call from a Insurance guy I work with, and he tells me that Ray, a gentleman I have done business with twice in the past 2 years has died. This hit home for one of many reasons, many too numerous to mention. I am glad that I went to the wake, and the funeral as it was a BEAUTIFUL tribute to a life cut short WAY too early. I hpe that when my time comes, I make HALF the impact that this man had on his friends and fam.

I was sad and morose over this all week.

Hey Heather and family! I am thinking about you!

Tribute to a Serious Inline Skating Enthusiast: Carl Comperoni Dies after colliding with another inline skater at the minneapolis metrodome. He was 53.

I didn't know him well, but remember him buzzing by me (much faster than me much to my chagrin...Carl was 13 years my senior) having a great time. I was even there the day it happened. I had (ironically) left my helmet at home, and chose to skate without it. I was chastised by Nick, one of the staff members. He informed me that someone had just been taken away in an ambulance due to a fall. I had no idea who it was, but I chose to finish off the evening w/o a helmet anyway.

It will be the last time.

It wasn't til much later I found out the seperation between me and Carl was less than I could ever expect. Carl was a "Rollerdome Buddy" of a good friend of mine (Jacque).
But what I DIDN'T know til much later was that a REALLY AMAZING Lady that I have been working with in the mortgage business her husband is a cousin of Carls. They were hit VERY hard by this, and all this has affected me as well.

I decided that this man, although I hardly knew him FIRST PERSON was a worthy recipient of a Log Entry here at my Blog which was initially set up as a Bicycling Blog. I hope that the following links will give those of you who are interested a little view into a life that was cut way too short by something that I would have considered trivial. Forgetting a helmet.

Thanks Carl. I will ALWAYS wear a helmet while Biking or blading.

My friend Liz also said that Carl was an Organ Donor, and that was probably responsible for saving many lives.

Well maybe he saved a few more.

Helmets save lives. This Author will never be seen without one again.

I would like to thank Liz, Jacque, and other people that contributed to this log.

Monkeyboys lab results:

Cholesterol:350
Triglcerides:600

Diagnosis: Things have got to change or you gonna DIE man!

Still to come: More stupid human tricks!

Vampires sucked me...But it wasn't the good kind...




Yup I went in and got my labs done. I WHOLLY endorse the acquisition of health insurance. I was in and out in 5 minutes.

Next: More Stupid Human Tricks!!!

So I am FINALLY getting my heart checked out!

Yup kids I FINALLY went to the doc to get checked out. I was getting bad heart palitations on the bike trail last summer, and they got worse over the winter since I gained back all the blubber. I did the EKG today, and it looked ok but TOMMOROW I get the vampires sucking out my blood THEN:

STUPID HUMAN TRICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1) Heart Stress Test-See the monkey run on a treadmill. Run Monkeyboy RUN!!!

2) Holter Monitor-Monkey straps on wires and pushes a button when he gets out of breath...then it shortcircuits and SHOCKS THE MONKEY! (thats my tribute to Peter Gabriel!)

3) Monkey sees a dietician-A really thin sexy girl points at the fat ol monkey and tells him to stop eating his own poo (Thats junk food I mean...But poo was a funnier analogy)

4) Sleep Apnea Test-Zookeepers watch monkey snore and drool all over himself. (I hope monkeyboy doesn't have any sex dreams and says stuff like "Ohh BABY, you KNOW what I like" in his sleep. I bet if he does the zookeepers will be SURE to sell it on the internet for a nominal price)

God help me, this will truly suck!

A WORKING FOOL

So anyway, I finally went to the rollerdome for the first time since I rejoined the ranks of the financially upright, and it was GREAT! Man did I need the endorphine release that a decent workout gives you. And theres plenty of stress to be had. Lenders are constantly pissing me off to the point where I need to run the stress out, and blading and biking are DAMN good for this!

I am back kids, and I am LOVING every minute of it!

JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS OUT...THEY PULL ME BACK IN!!!!

SO ITS BEEN A M ILLION YEARS SINCE I BLOGGED. I HAVE BEEN A BAD BLOG MONKEY, AND I APOLOGIZE. i WANTED TO TAKE THE TIME TO QUICK LEY ALL YOU KNOW WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING:

I AM STILL IN THE MORTGAGE BIZ. I AM WITH A GREAT COMPANY CALLED ADVISORS MORTGAGE BASED (IRONICALLY ENOUGH) A BLOCK FROM MY OLD COMPANY. I AM DOING MUCH BETTER, AND AM VERY HAPPY HERE.

THATS THE GOOD NEWS.

THE BAD NEWS IS I HAVE GAINED ALL THE WEIGHT I LOST LAST SUMMER BACK, AND FEEL LIKE CRAP AGAIN.

BUT FEAR NOT TRUE BELIEVERS. I AM GETTING BACK INTO THE HEALTHY LIFESTYLE, AND WILL BE BACK TO MY OLD/NEW SELF IN NO TIME.

MORE TO COME!

The Rambo Granny of Melbourne

Thanks to The Kid for sending this in my email

Australia Gun-toting granny Ava Estelle, 81, was so ticked-off when two thugs raped her 18-year-old granddaughter that she tracked the unsuspecting ex-cons down - - and shot off their testicles.The old lady spent a week hunting those men down -- and when she found them, she took revenge on them in her own special way, said Melbourne police investigator Evan Delp.

Then she took a taxi to the nearest police station, laid the gun on the sergeant's desk and told him as calm as could be:'Those bastards will never rape anybody again, by God.' Cops say convicted rapist and robber Davis Furth, 33, lost both his penis and his testicles when outraged Ava opened fire with a 9-mm pistol in the hotel room where he and former prison cellmate Stanley Thomas, 29, were holed up.

The wrinkled avenger also blew Thomas' testicles to kingdom come, but doctors managed to save his mangled penis, police said. The one guy, Thomas, didn't lose his manhood, but the doctor I talked to said he won't be using it the way he used to, Detective Delp told reporters.

Both men are still in pretty bad shape, but I think they're just happy to be alive after what they've been throughThe Rambo Granny swung into action August 21 after her granddaughter Debbie was carjacked and raped in broad daylight by two knife-wielding creeps in a section of town bordering on skid row. "When I saw the look on my Debbie's face that night in the hospital, I decided I was going to go out and get those bastards myself 'cause I figured the Law would go easy on them," recalled the retired library worker. " And I wasn't scared of them, either-- because I've got me a gun and I've been shootin' all my life. And I wasn't dumb enough to turn it in when the law changed about owning one.

"So , using a police artist's sketch of the suspects and Debbie's description of the sickos', tough-as-nails Ava spent seven days prowling the wino-infested neighborhood where the crime took place till she spotted the ill fated rapists entering their flophouse hotel.I knew it was them the minute I saw 'em, but I shot a picture of 'em anyway and took it back to Debbie and she said sure as hell, it was them, the oldster recalled. So I went back to that hotel and found their room and knocked on the door and the minute the big one, Furth, opened the door, I shot 'em right square between the legs, right where it would really hurt 'em most, you know. Then I went in and shot the other one as he backed up pleading to me to spare him. Then I went down to the police station and turned myself in."

Now, baffled lawmen are trying to figure out exactly how to deal with the vigilante granny. What she did was wrong, and she broke the law, but it is difficult to throw an 81-year-old woman in prison, Det. Delp said, especially when 3 million people in the city want to nominate her for sainthood and a medal.
