Who needs to sleep at 5:15 am? Apparently not my 2.5 year old.

Fts. I'm getting sick, it's busy at work, it's ride night. I don't need some little snot nosed bastard robbing me of my sleep.

When's that vasectomy again?!

They don't work retroactively. You can't put toothpaste back in the tube.

7 mile run before work this morning.

So the men's room here at work has a 15 minute light timer. So, when I walk in and it's dark but there is someone on a pooper, I gotta wonder what the hell they are doing in there.

it takes you less than 15 minutes to do your business??? Sounds about right to me. You got to take the time to do things right and really enjoy the experience. Stop and smell the roses, as it were...

Yep.
Lots of work to do. Again.

cool 52* morning. supposed to hit the low 80s this afternoon. Wife is joining the BIL to go watch the 49ers vs the Seahawks from the 40 yard line. I passed on that one

 

[Adventurous]

Yep.

Ditto.

Borrowed a buddies chainsaw last night, I should be doing a bit of logging this weekend.

 

[Full Trucker]

Strong black coffee in hand, Cantaloupe Island on the hi-fi, reading the news. I think I just turned into someone's grandfather.

Comical morning. Riding my cruiser bike to the pool the crank arm fell off as I was blasting through a tunnel. So with just one pedal I had to loop back around and grab it without getting hit by a car.

i saw a nice-ish looking front road wheel on the side of the highway this morning on the drive in. if it wasn't a construction zone, i may have stopped to grab it.

A road wheel! I got a road hammer the other day.

I understand that it's raining. And that your little f****** precious is precious. But when you drive like conservative a****** you make things more dangerous. Learn to f****** drive.

God I f****** hate people. One woman coming out of my neighborhood going to the same school as Haley missed every light because she wouldn't merge properly in the traffic. It cost me 10 minutes this morning.

And to add insult to injury, miss safety mom didn't even have her headlights on.

License plate? Texas

I hear it never rains in Southern California.

That smell you smell? Those aren't roses. I'm in and out in less than 5.

nah, the likely culprit was that i went to bed sober.

 

[Toshi]

Howdy all. After an amusing but very muddy bike commute yesterday I elected to drive in today, especially since it let me drop Mariko off at her preschool. I think it was the correct choice: lots of standing water here and there plus the rain, gloom, and many people driving with their lights off.

Today I'm going to make a presentation for one of the residents since I don't trust him or most people to make one that doesn't suck, after which I will plow through some paper journals that have been piling up on my desk.

 

[stevew]

my laptop has become self aware.....it won't download itunes....

 

[CBJ]

Up at 5.30 to ride my bike and enjoy the warm weather. Ride to work and an hour of PT at lunch time.

Started off the day morning commute on good note with a job and a smile from a paid minimum wage waving people into a parking garage guy. So if he can smile and I have no excuse to not be happy today.

Not asking that at all. She was driving so conservatively it was dangerous.

We cross the main exit route from two schools on the way to Haley's school. One is coming out of the neighborhood where oncoming traffic has a dedicated turn lane. Because most of the kids in that school come from our neighborhood, the people turning right turn into the right lane, so you can turn left into the traffic flow. She sat through two lights without ever crossing the crosswalk line.

At the second crossing it's into the school lot. Oncoming traffic is always poorly spaced, so you need to dart when you can. It's only one lane of oncoming and when there is a big enough gap, you dart. Wait time is normally 1-2min tops. She waited 5min until there was a gap large enough for three cars to follow her through. And to add to it, there is a covered drive through spot in the front of the building. You can usually fit two cars under it. She stopped smack in the middle. It's a relatively small lot, so space needs to be used properly. I ended up parking in the bus spot, as there were no other spaces in the lot. Which led to the bus having to wait for me to move. Which backed up the traffic in the lot.

Normally I would have made a comment about it, but to add never ending insult to injury, he kid is in the classroom that shares its room with Haley's class.

I might rupture a gasket I'm so frustrated right now.
