Did the cat wake you up?
No, a business unit wide whole day meeting hosted in India.
I forgot. Comes with age.
Today started at 6:30. Tomorrow starts at 5:30. FTS
headlight did in fact arrive yesterday. Initial impressions are good; build quality, brightness. now to get time to actually try it.
Are you yet fluent in Hindi?
brisk 42 this morning, should warm up to 70. Coffee is hitting the spot
Mornin!
Feel a bit lighter on my feet today. Shed most of my gunt and can now fit back into my sexy pants. Hows my butt look?

Ahhh life can begin again as the guest finally left. There are good guests and there are bad. These skewed towards the bad. I hope I can finally get back on the bike again.
found out yesterday Spesh is ok replacing my broken Globe Daily 1 with a HotRock 20 for my son under warranty. This is a win, because I was then able to order a Kona Humuhumu for myself as my daily commuter. I've always liked the look of them, so I'm pretty stoked on this to be honest...
the boy's new bike:
(he'll get it on Friday, which also happens to be his birthday... timing couldn't be better!)
My new bike:
It will shortly be adorned with fenders, a basket, and a rack for a kids bike seat. A true urban bike.
It's a happy day when a household sees two new bikes cross it's threshold....

Morning monkies! Preparing to head to Oregon to ride the Echo trail system as suggested by @boostindoubles - its a bit cold so hopefully the sunrise will warm things up.
They've just called me out on not being able to tell from a shitty audio line who from the 30 exactly similarly sounding guys has just spoken.
see my previous post.
Badass, it's mellow xc but flows. They're some of the most stable winter trails around. The other thing is a few rock gardens sneak up on you.
WTF is with the extra top tube?<snip>

Roofers are here making a terrible racket and driving the dogs batshit. As per usual, day before we want to go somewhere flights looked totally fucked and wife is shitting bricks, so only the FSM knows where we might wind up, or if we go anywhere at all. "Flight Benefits", my ass.
Edit: any body ever been to Puerto Rico?

I for one, would welcome the sweet release that death would bring.
Also: Kudos on the thread tag to whoever added that.
Morning Monkeys.
This is my day.
This is my day.
Going up to Summit this Fri-Sun for a season cap. It will be nice to get a few days in and hang out with the guys. Since we're all old and married with kids now, the trip weekends don't seem to happen as often.
That'll get worse.
HTH.
. It's not quite like a few years ago, pre-marriage and kids when I had a season pass to Northstar. It's 9 hours from me and we went more than enough to get our money's worth
apparently its a throwback to the old days of Schwinn Excelsiors... I don't really care too much about it. I've ridden one of them before and they're fun. zippy but comfortable is how I'd describe them. I'll even be able to throw some knobbies on there and take to the dirt with the boys eventually (when my carbon-fibre, full suspension, all mountain bike is a bit of overkill).WTF is with the extra top tube?
Ironically, it might help in this respect. My old frame craked at the top tube, I think due to mashing on the pedals too hard with the kid in the bike seat. I could feel the whole frame flex when I did that.
These have been around since before hipsters... sooo.... what does that make them? Can dads be hipsters? Does it count if I wear a flannel shirt, but have a kid seat on the back?!
might help with this too, as I like to ride down the 5-6 steps where the bike racks are located at my office. Going all the way around to the wheelchair ramps is too long.

Thanks!
You got the Ituo one like me?

I had a 7 AM lecture to give so drove my bleary-eyed ass in to work. Went well: on financial topics, and the audience of residents and fellows were understandably interested.
If anyone's particularly interested themselves here are my slides: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2WDoaJQHlYIX25pRG5XTDFvV0U
Happy Humping! In software training all morning. Once again, geared towards the lowest level and I'm bored.
I'm fvking done with this planet.
Run last night, lift this morning. Layla kept up well for a 40min run and actually pushed the pace a lot of the way. She then proceeded to sleep all night and just looked at me when I got up for the gym then went back to sleep.
Haley has been a PITA lately and it turns out that a new girl in class screams until she gets her way and hits people, which she has been imitating. We had a solid conversation last night dealing with consequences of acting like that: lost $1 of her allowance ($3 total, so a lot) and bed time has permanently been push up 30min.
