almost got plastered by an SUV, it always happens that they aren't paying attention, oblivious to the speed your going, then they almost kill you and its my fault, they blast their horn, flip you off and expect me to stop, get off their road and bow to them and their box, oh well.

from home down to hinckley over to richfield, up to brecksville, then back on pkwy. odd annoying wind out of east.
just in a pissed off mood so i decided to ride, didn't care, knee is still a fn mess, spent 3 hrs yesterday/ 4 hrs today up in an attic redoing wiring, all the balancing, crawling, contorting just killed my knee, not to mention it was 90+F up there. probably gonna see a doc and suspect i'll shut it down.
