Picked up the speedo cable from the shop today - couldn't install it right away when I got home though, because I decided to finally take the rear axle down to the shop to get them started on it after work tonight. I left work a little early today to to get it done, since the drive-line shop closes at 5p & I wanted to talk to the guy about everything & not just drop it off. He sounds very knowledgeable & they come highly recommended, but I had a twinge of hesitation when I was leaving, as I dropped off all of the new brake parts along with it, so they could install those when they were done. It's about $250 worth of parts, and while I don't think anyone would take any of them, I have this weird feeling that something's going to get lost.
When I got back home, I took the cable out to the garage & had it changed out in literally 5 minutes - nice! Now I can start riding again (once this congestion goes away; it seems to be lingering a bit, had to start taking meds again today). Hopefully it'll be gone by this weekend.
Oh yeah, did I mention that I ran into the guy who helped me do the open mic nights. (Can't remember if I gave him a nickname, so for now he'll be SC.) He wanted me to play this Tuesday, and I was waiting to see how I felt (and whether I could settle on 4 songs I liked enough to play!), but I had to tell him I wouldn't be making it this week. I did commit to doing so within the next month, and I'm both excited and nervous about it. I do have four songs (ok, I can play a lot more than four), but I only like two of them; one is "meh" & the other is more "blech". Unfortunately, one of the two I like is one I've not yet perfected, and it'll be really easy to fuck up if I go too fast, or am not paying attention (i.e. if I get nervous). I think it'll be ok, but... Anyway, I'm learning another couple songs which, if I can get them down, will replace the two "meh/blech" songs, so we'll see what I can do in a few weeks' worth of practice.
