Good Morning!!

Whew!! What a scorcher it was yesterday! Temps well in excess of 100. It was still over 90 at 9pm last night.

Nice Guy Mike called me yesterday evening and said he had some king mackerel he caught about 50 miles offshore Sunday evening. They were steaked up on the boat and put on ice immediately and on my grill shortly after I picked them up after I got off work. They were fantastic!

The wife and the boy spent yesterday evening after dinner making concrete stepping stones for the in-laws with his little handprints in them. He had concrete all over himself by the time they had finished. My little stonemason! So cute.

Another brutally hot day today. All you southern USA folks hang in there the best you can.

Morning all!

Nice here still. Had a hell of a afternoon thunderstorm though. Lightning, hail, the works.
Should be an interesting day. Our new FAA inspectors going to be wandering through the hangar and that always has a tendency to get managements panties all in a twist. Personally I've never understood this, if you have nothing to hide there is no reason to fear the feds. We'll see how it goes.

Mornin'

Back to work today after taking yesterday off to recover from the 24hrs @ GG.
Crazy but great weekend.
One friend broke his collarbone and another got 9 stitches in her chin on the famed "plunge" muddy-as-hell downhill close to the end of the coarse. That combined with the m-cycle rider who didn't make it after crashing on the Mt Washington auto road, and you've got some bad ju-ju that I managed to escape.
I rode well, but will be purchasing soon a (larger) 19t cog for my SS. Good thing I brought a bike with gears as well because that place is 65% hills.

I spent a week there in late August once for a conference. I must have looked like a snowman walking around down there...just melting as I walked down the street, sweat literally dripping off me. The locals all looked perfectly comfortable.

'Morning, monkeys! Just another busy work day today. Busy is good though. I spent 40 minutes on the elliptical machine last night. Pretty exciting stuff.

'Bout time the Red Sox won a game.

Something must be wrong with me. Was in the high 90s yesterday and I felt perfectly comfortable outside, never broke a sweat. Maybe I am just getting old, Florida here I come!

Doc said the back of my knee is still swollen - I can't tell because I can't see it!

bummer. This is adding to my pain and suffering. Oh and he said no riding for a week.

D'OH!

Crap that sucks MBC - I hope riding last Saturday didn't aggravate it too much.

What's the latest with the Insurance Company and whatnot??

I'm pretty sure my Pho was drugged last night. I lost consciousness about 3 minutes after the last spoonful.

Evening all.

Pretty hot today. We went exploring up in the hills. Found some sweet singletrack in the middle of nowhere.

Came home and had a BBQ.

Can't get much better.
