Well that was exciting! down CO hw93 just south of hw128 I ended up in the ditch W side of 93. some crappy suv pulled off the shoulder in front of me going 10 when he should have waited for me to pass, so i passed him anyway where no on coming traffic was on the way until to top of the hill. I had control and was going around 35 until i started coming back in front of the guy, where i ended up ass to the front drifting off to the west shoulder. I had the window down and panicked for bout 1/10 of a second when i realized he ditch was deeper than recalled. But i could see the entire gradient so i sat up straight and relaxed so i would not injure my back again. worked like a charm. fun experience overall, i leveled a reflector pole and could have touched it out my open window. I was about 4 meters off the road and about 1.5 meters lower in elevation than the road. Fun experience actually. Luckily im a decent driver and left a good 100m for the guy behind me.
I put on the gators (over a foot of snow) and called AAA who gave a 3 hr estimate for a tow truck. I put my car info together incase a patroller came buy, grabbed the tow cable and my spot light as a boulderite stopped to check on me. He dialed 991 previous to getting out and checking on me and i thanked him for his consideration and called *csp to inform them i was a low priority and there was no property damage. turns out the dick who was behind me when i slid off never called it in. oh well. Andy and Harry came on over for moral support, and arrived as the tow truck was pulling me out. good roommates those fellas. On the way back to golden some asshat in a mercury was following me about 10 feet at 40mph. i slowed down and he started fishtailing till he was about 5 feet off. once he was at 2 i was tempted to slam on the breaks but decided there was plenty of excitement for the night and i would be lucky to walk off without serious back pain. blinked him off at rock-flats where he seemed confused by my signaling for him to pass. if i may once again address this guy, he is an asshat.
Had a complex variables exam today. Might have done average. Well see.
In even more exciting new I just got off the line with Mary. Mary and Tony are taking Sean and I up to cripple creek on Saturday night and paying for dinner, the room at the double eagle, and breakfast Sunday morning. They are also driving us back so Sean and I can basically have all the fun in the word, so long as we are in the springs 6pm Saturday night and I make it back for my Bio exam Monday night. Something to remember for your entire life: the 21st birthday with your twin (Mary, my aunt who is taking us up to cripple creek is a twin). Schweeeet.
