Spent some time at the peeler bar by my hotel, last night. I was the only guy there who wasn't an employee. I just wanted a cocktail and to watch the stage shows. I got a couple aggressive pornstars trying to hustle me into the champagne room with implied offers of interesting times. Then I chatted with a classy Swedish dancer who earned a few dollars in tip money for being entertaining to talk with for a while... Of course she went away after she realized I was serious about just being there to drink and watch the dances, and not to drop champagne room cash. Lastly, a quiet shy girl got on stage and she seemed uncomfortable. I tipped her and she wrapped her arms around my neck to hug me and excitedly said "yay, my first tip money." I tucked another bill in her string for that.

The Viking Ship museum was small but interesting. I ended up sitting by the water for a bit and just listening to the waves, and skipped going in the other nearby museums. Had dinner with a friend and walked along the river back to my hotel before heading to the club.

Today, there's a Van Gough and Munch exhibition I'm going to see.

So cultural

Up at 5am going for a ride. Sucks its already dark outside the one thing I really miss about Denmark this time of year.

 

[stevew]

rumor has it there was a craig kilborn sighting on the daily show....

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Driving over to New Hampshire to attend a wedding. Might sneak a ride at Fort Rock.

 

[eric strt6]

at 10pm a nice thunderstorm rolled through with one heck of a light show. I wonder how many fires will pop up today from the lightning strikes? day 19 of working 27 days in a row

You planning to go to the sculpture park? If not...you should.

Went last year. Good times.
Munch exhibit was epic.

1. I think I broke my toe last night.
2. Got into the pool this morning and it wasn't as bad as expected.
3. I slammed my finger in the car door and I think I need to go to the Dr. to have them drain the blood out from underneath the nail.

Dude. WTF?

 

[boostindoubles]

My face could use a roto rooter. Airports are dens of disease I tell ya.

 

[Da Peach]

Feel the need for a bike ride a-risin'.

Project I'm on is a bit of a cluster. Battle Royale between handfuls of VPs, SVPs, Client Reps, Consultants, Our sub consultants, Ops folk.

Strange I did not detect this during the courting stage.

I'm clearly not as smart as I thought I was.

I think I will just drive up for the DH race if I can drag myself away from the lake and cold beer on Saturday.

 

[skibunny24]

Oy! Can't seem to keep myself out of trouble the last couple weeks. Can I please just lock myself in the Lounge here until all blows over? I think you guys are alllllllriiiiight...

Plans for the weekend:
1. Sand/prime/paint ceiling in bathroom
2. Finish tiling the shower
3. Hopefully there is time to start working on whatever you do next.
4. Oh right. Laundry, vacuum, feed the family and animals, tend to the garden, and generally make up for the fact that I've been out doing cool things instead of making the house livable for the last 2 months.
5. These activities require a bike/run break.

...also, kiddo's football practice field shares the fence with the bike trails, and practice is 2 hours... WIN...

 

[Pesqueeb]

Ugh, long day yesterday. Rolled back into the house at 0130 this morning. Santa Fe was fun for the 45 minutes we were there. Swung by Santa Fe Brewing to pick up beers. Holy shit is beer in the tasting room cheap! Now I gotta finish my coffee and go back to the mill. Need moar sleep!

 

[stoney]

Dude. WTF?

Exactly. Rough morning.

But at least I was able to get a workout in. It's the first I've done since 6/13 when I raced the Boulder 70.3. My pace has fallen off, but not substantially.

On a positive side note, focusing on my diet has been working. I'm down to 213, so 7 lbs in 3 weeks. I just need to start really training to find the metabolic efficiency point.

Maybe go UFC

I have not tried it - 160lbs and 6' 1" so not my priority.

 

[Nick]

good day.

 

[SkaredShtles]

good day.

I said GOOD DAY!

 

[jstuhlman]

GOOD DAY, SIR!

 

[Pesqueeb]

Awesome. Got on my Amex account so I could expense gas and meals from yesterdays road trip and found all sorts of mystery charges for things I definitely didn't buy. Fun!

 

[stoney]

Overhead conversation:
(Skinny girl) I take off my engagement ring at night, but keep the wedding on.
(Fat girl) i had to start taking them both off because my fingers would swell.

Really? Swell? Is that what we're calling obesity now?

 

[rockofullr]

I got a couple aggressive pornstars trying to hustle me into the champagne room with implied offers of interesting times.

Just remember, no matter what a stripper tells you, there is no sex in the campaign room.

 

[Pesqueeb]

Our former resident fatty had problems with "water retention".

 

[skibunny24]

I'm not a fatty anymore yet I still swell. Does swelling only apply to those of us with naturally fatty genes?

 

[Da Peach]

I can't swim with my wedding band on for fear of it falling off.

When it's hot out, I can't get it off my finger.

Have you considered that you might be a chick?

 

[skibunny24]

Lol! My hubby lost his first wedding ring surfing on our honeymoon. He now takes it off before swimming always.

 

[stoney]

1. DMG is dead. That's just unnecessary.
2. I openly admit that I was fat. No bloating or retaining water here.

 

[Pesqueeb]

I meant here at work.

 

[stoney]

So house doctor, should i go get this drained?

I meant here at work.

That too.

dude, sterile needle & drill/poke into that mess

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

The coagulated blood should absorb back into the body, eventually. But if it really bugs you just hit it with a hammer to make all the blood squirt out all at once.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Rub some dirt on it.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

First Friday Gallery hop tonight. Three hours of schmoozing and slinging rings. No bikies today. Tomorrow there will be afternoon shredage.

Maximum density

SIUP?

Vacation chasing kids is tiring. I'm very glad we don't live in this old house (in Seattle--MIL's) any more. The design is almost intentionally kid-hazardous with steep stairs without railings here and there, etc.

I'm all for letting my kids fall on the playground, but that doesn't extend to headers into a concrete floored basement down the long stairwell or the like.

 

[Muddy]

Rode my bike today.

Builds character...

Bah. Kids these days...
