That's an odd way of saying you're gonna need to have a poo.
i have a pint of chocolate ice cream to thank for mine.

to say it was robust would be a understatement
:wave:

Slept like the dead last night. Chores to be done, the hospital is already bombarding my email with form and pre-employment shit to fill out.
what?

are you assembling x ray machines there?

started my day off with a massage. I hadn't really thought of using massage to help with my back pain, since the last few times I went it really only made my pain worse. I've been doing my exercises almost daily now, and working on correcting lordosis of my lower back and kyphosis of my upper back, and restoring some natural movement in my rib cage. It dawned on me that massage could possibly help with that. and boy howdy did it ever! I feel like I can breathe deeply and fully now, and that I can move normally. we'll see if it's just an illusion on my ride tonight... (double bonus that the temps and humidity have FINALLY dropped).

Coffee time here at work.

Riding tonight with a buddy who has made every excuse to not ride with our group of friends this year. On Sunday he said "oh I'm working on wednesday, can't ride. I'm off Thursday." To which my buddy and I both responded with, "well good thing we're riding on Thursday too!"

Late last night he tried saying he needed to bleed his brake. He has all day to do it today - and is going riding at the bike park in the afternoon...so.... :rofl: I told him I'll bring the bleed kit and we'll do it in the parking lot.
Oh look..........guess who just sent out a text bailing on the ride.

:rolleyes:

Any NY monkeys got intel on on the Wheelerville bike park? I'm in the area on vacation early August.

@TreeSaw
Yes, We have ridden it....SO GOOD! Message me some details and I'll see if we can hook up to ride there. When we rode it, Earl was on his new (to him and not me because it was too big) SB130 and I chased him around on my Niner Hardtail....he had more fun, but I did manage to enjoy some of the awesome flowy berms, the climb back up isn't bad at all and well, the drops were mostly rideable for me :)

Will do! Bringing a bike is contingent upon there being enough space in the truck (should be). Hopefully the wife doesn't pack the whole house for the small child.

Been there (done that). Let me know where you're staying and I will see if I can offer some tips for kid friendly activities too. We are staying at the Herkimer KOA mid-August (though might need to change based on college move in).
