Evening Guest

My head was pretty messed up the whole day. It's like being draped under a wet blanket of tangible stress. I was melancholic. And loving it.

Riding has always provided me with a means of escape from my everyday train of thoughts. Tonight I brought home a guest with a minor nostril issue. Cicero's prized steed. Doodling with metal, particularly welding, was also a welcome treat. There was a clean break from the previous weld, right down the middle of the puddle itself. It looked pretty nasty but there was the challenge staring at me in the face. After I donned my armor it took a short but sweet while to sew the brace back on.

Also met a new soul, Jun at our usual haunt at Cafe Lipa. Too bad I didn't bring my camera. He had his gorgeous VMax with him fresh from a wheel change, (..man, P1500 for front and wheel installation..? That doesn't include actual tire change, which is a separate charge. Geez.. it pays to know where to go when in need of things. That labor wouldn't cost more than P150.) A quick zip around Mall of Asia and I bid Brutus good night at Gil's shop. He needs new shoes what with all the threads in his old tires showing up.

The night is long and dragging - and peaceful. Something to be thankful for despite all the chaos in my head.
