The Longest Puddle
Squid here again.... and again and again and again...
hahaha
grunt will post some time i think, i got to get him set up
but on to the story!!!!!!!!
this is a short one... kinda like me, short, my sister calls is vertically chalenged, but then again im taller than her... hahaha
ok ok enough, we where on a ride in granby, on our way out, passed the river bed, past the slate drop off and no one has taken a digger yet..... yet
there was this super long, and i mean super long mud puddle that took up the whole trail, it was so big... that two cars coud fit in it side my side and it was at least three car lengths long. now i compare car size to my 99 ford f150, so that is a huge mud puddle considering my truck is 7 feet wide and really long!
so grunt was ahaid of me buy a bike lenght and i said "dude i can make it through that, looks like its got a hard bottom" and grunt said "im goin around i got to watch this" and he went around where i looked like every other mountain biker in the world went. but squid is a good rider and i had to prove it! and i went bommin in to this mud puddle.
it was goin good, i had the speed and i was light on the entry, water was goin every were and i was goin to make it, till i started to slow down... so i started to peddle.... hard, switch gears.... no help, the bottom was so soft that..... yep you guessed it, i stopped dead. now i could do a track stand, which is being on the bike and stayen on just two wheels and sit there with nothing else touching the ground, but im not that good, i only can do it for like 10 seconds. and the mud was squishy...... and had like a foot of water on top of it. so then PLOP, i fell over. just like a cartoon, and grunt had the bigest laugh of the year. i had put my arm out, dumb, but i did, i could have broken it, but it just sunk into the mud all the way up to my elbow, and the water was up the muddle of my chest..... and i was now sideways in the puddle. so if you can immagine, half of me is under water and mud and the other half was pristeen clean, yeah it was just like a cartoon you could draw a line down the middle of me and one side was clean and one was not! it was great fun. so i got up in the puddle and walked the bike to the side, the mud was up to the middle of my shins the whole way out, and grunt said "told you i had to watch it"
we had my car at the time, this is how the "trash bag" seat came to me
Ok... life lesson, take out your pen or pencil and a piece of papater, this will be on your next big test in life!!!!!
Always have a trash bag in your car in the drivers door pocket, it does not take much room and it saves your ass many a time. when you get really wet, like after scuba diving and need to dive to your next site, still in your wet suit, or you get a bloody, mudy and wey on a mt bike ride, or you are just covered in something you dont want to get on your car seat, you have that trash bag to put on your seat to keep it looken new and keepen dry. trust me it comes in handy and is better than a towel, cuz it wont leak through!!! (i kinda just sounded like a kotex comertial) and keep enough to cover the seat and the back
i take engouh to cover both driver and pasinger seat! in the old geo i had enough for 4 people, and it only took up half the diver door pocket!
well that is that, and im now clean..... kinda..... that was a long time ago
squid sighing off here with his left middle finger nail stiched back on (thanks er doc's)
remember stay conected like ninex!!!

hahahaha dude I love your stories...they are so funny...I wish I was there to watch...the garbage bag thing is such a good idea...in the summer I normally keep towels on my back seat so that I don't get my seat wet when I drive back from the lake...but garbage bags is a good idea...except my bum would stick to it...hehe
