Life is like a plate of sashimi, chachiri to be exact

It is raw.
It is delightful.
It is a different experience for everyone.
It is cultured.
It is fishy.
It goes best with good company.

My plate of sashimi started off with a quick Ebay check to see who is willing to overpay for the wheel sets that I have up for auction. For the three or four non-bike riders who read this literary atrocity, I am hoping to make $1,800 for two sets of wheels. Yes, $1,800. Yes wheels. As in no bike involved. As in no tires involved. I heart capitalism. I heart Ebay. Delightful.
Next up was a ride in State Cawledge with Bubb Ry. We set out to ride so easy that Pat & Bill could have joined us. It is amazing the "ground" you can cover in an hour with a close friend. A nice chill ride and good conversation about life, passions, goals, relationships, perspectives. Lots of good ground covered. Delightful.
Drove home to put in a little work for the Colonel. Same as it ever was. That was quick. Literally & proverbially. Raw and fishy.
Started to put together the new Scalpel and do yet another tinker session with parts. The Scalpel is going to be sweet. I am thinking a set of Stan's 347's and chi-chi rotors will put it in the 21 lb ballpark.So, back to the title. Life is like a plate of sashimi. It is quite diverse. Each "slice" so different than the next, yet complimentary. Ultimately each little slice of life is quite enjoyable in its own way. Maybe it is the texture, the taste, the color, the contrast, the presentation. When each little slice is then presented as a whole it is something to be enjoyed. It is something best enjoyed with good company.
Today was such a day from start to finish.
Ry and CSS thank you.
