Passport inspection guy looked shocked and then giggled when he saw my photo. I suppose I do look different with a shave and a mohawk instead of my current state of beard.

it's a shame your passport photo couldn't be a old photo of you hanging from something.

My head feels like poop. I need more sleep.

The amount of assholes/morons that I see on the road every morning never ceases to amaze me. It is literally stop and go gridlock traffic here in the morning, yet these guys are going from the far left lane to the far right lane on the freeway. I don't get where they are trying to race to.:crazy:

The other side of the road, obviously.
Why can't it be the ditch?

Yesterday I saw a tool in a F150 towing a double axle trailer, tail gating in the left lane on the free way. Guy sped off, but when I eventually passed him (again) he was in the middle lane with the trailer doing the yo-yo back and forth in the lane. Scary.

My 1:00 and 4:00 meetings today both just got cancelled. I can't imagine anyone's Monday getting off to a better start than mine.
if you scored the first dump in the freshly cleaned shitters at work....i'd just say fuck it and go home.

you won the day.

Devil spawn. It took me 15min to get Haley into her carseat this morning. I was once again reminded of how in a moment of weakness a parent could hit a child. 15min late and I missed an important client call.

don't blame the kid. blame the chains that bind. ie the office schedule.

It doesn't help that Wifey is out of town on no notice because of her grandmother. Haley doesn't like to have schedules change.

Wait until you realize if you hadn't had kids you could be retired at 44.
:D
I've run the numbers on it. It would actully be closer to 50.

My first run down their jump line I kept thinking as I came up on a set of berms "the end must be close" but it just kept going and going.

First day back at work after a most excellent two weeks off. fucking oldest kid was up four fucking times last night. four. fucking. times. I actually threw him out on the back deck the last time and told him not to come back in until he was ready to not wake us up anymore.

I'm going to make coffee now. sheesh.

Organize ski/bike tours; include guidance and transport to and from SeaTac to the Shore, Whistler, B'ham in the Summer, then the ripe WA ski spots in the Winter. While they're all out riding, you can be too. Lots of people want to explore but don't have the local knowledge. Be that local.

When my wife and I went on our honeymoon in NZ, we did an all day Moto/Quad ride. I couldn't help but think I chose the wrong path in life after it sank in that he ran his own business and got paid to ride around with people all day. FML.

A website. You will need to buy keywords as part of that website though... Start with that. Figure out what it would cost to take 1 week off work and to rent a condo as said location. Advertise as a set px, with 50% up front (or % for non-refundable part of condo + 10% for your time) with no refund. Rest on delivery of services. You can always find old guys, like us, who would want to do local trails, etc but can't do it on our own.

You just need to do double time with real work.

Failed lottery tickets are considered gambling losses for tax purposes. ***The more you know!
I have heard this. Granted, I spend about $200 max a year gambling (casino, random megabucks ticket, raffle, etc) but never think to count my losses. :panic:

Was looking forward to riding after work, but apparently its monsoon season with a dab of lightning (if there was no lightning I'd still go).

I need to do this, wow. My girl is getting pretty good on her quad, my daughter is a little ripper.
