Evan! stop rocking the boat!

Thats a whole lotta pink panther.. With the help of my brother and paul we got the roof all fluffed up with pinkness in about 3 hours. It's pretty easy.. they lay pretty well and there weren't many gaps. We bought 2 4-pack bundles and only used 7 out of the 8 packs. I guessed the square footage of the roof being around 640 sq. ft. But there were one or two slats that couldn't be covered, it was a little maze up top trying to figure out how to get around up there, but whoever was up there before was smart enough to leave a bunch of movable boards. distribute the weight amongst 3 rafters.. afterwards we were all itchy and scratchy, but it's all good. I do feel a slight difference, the major one was in the shower where the bathroom fogged up faster than usual (yes, let the jokes begin). Heat retention! woot!

While we're still going through the mania of it.. i do say that Lance Armstrong is one of my many persons of inspiration.. It's all about doing the best that you can and also make it look effortless. This years tour though it was like he knew he was going to win so he let everybody else do their thing and whenever needed busted out the can of whoopass. i think his best was 2003, he crashed a bunch of times but in each stage went all out and won. Some stats on Lance..
Everybody knows his heart is 33% larger than average, and his resting pulse is 35bpm..
But he takes in twice the amount of air than average. He's raced 11 tour de frances', finished 8. The odometer for just racing those 11 is around 22,000+ miles. 1st place winner gets $480k, but it's usually split to the team. His first pro race he was last place. Look at him now.

People of inspiration are cool, they are the ones to look up to. To inspire you to work at your best to achieve. i've got too many to scribble, downhill mountain bikers, snowboarders, high power shooters, IPSC speed shooters, motorcyclists, bmx'ers. Too bad work gets in the way of my hobbies.
