a thorough weekend

The weekend that just past was a fairly busy one. Saturday morning was spent mowing the lawn (yay, not!) and I went to see the doctor to get my blood test results. Aside from high enzymes in my liver, everything else was within the recommended ranges. I think the high enzymes were due to me being on antibiotics. Surprisingly, my cholesterol was low. There was nothing in the results to explain why I've lost so much weight. I will be following-up my blood test with another blood test in one month to see if anything has changed.

I spent the rest of my Saturday afternoon riding my bike. The weather was warm but my friend Adrian was more than up for a ride. He had just gotten his bike back from repairs (thanks to some idiot running into him). We cruised around town and just enjoyed our time out on our bikes.

Later that night, I went out for dinner with a close friend for Shabu Shabu at Kura. Shabu Shabu is basically a Japanese style steam-boat, but the spread was distinctively Japanese and yummy. We ordered some Kim-Chi and Chicken Yakitori to go with our Shabu Shabu, and we finished off with Sesame ice-cream. On the whole, a very nice dinner!

My Sunday was spent mostly riding my bike. Well my morning and afternoon was spent entirely on the bike. I met up with Adrian again and we cruised around some more. We initially went down to Metro Honda in Ringwood to check something, but the store closed. So we continued onto Mt. Dandenong Tourist Road and headed up the mountain. This was a good chance to break-in the engine some more and to vary the revs. I've managed to scrub my rear tyre to within 1/2 an inch of the edge on both sides. We did lunch at The Glen after coming down from the mountain, and we finished up cruising around some more before heading home.
