Morning monkeys, haven't been on here much in the past few weeks. Weather forecast is finally looking like Spring time in the ROC. Dusted off one of the bikes yesterday and did a small solo ride after work. Felt good to finally get out and stretch the legs.
I have decided that I prefer biking to working on the house. Guy coming over to quote the shit I don't want to do.
In my own office today. It feels good to sit in my own chair.
Now question of the day, does the chair form to my ass or does my ass form to the chair?
And I just dropped the HR manager's brand new out of box iphone 6 onto the tile floor. SWEET.

Last night really sucked
We lost Kozmo, He passed in our arms. Ruth and I are quite upset. It was quick and at least we were both with him. RIP little guy you brought us much happiness in your 8 years with us

'Morning, kids! Welcome to Friday. I swam before work, and my legs had nothing.
Well that sucks. Sorry to hear it, Eric.

A
Statically indeterminate. Depends how hard yer ass is.
In the big picture you just conform to the system, pawn.
Sorry to hear. 8 years ain't enough.Last night really sucked

Eric, sad to hear about your puppy dog. 
I woke to heavy wet snow this morning, the kind that will make the trails unrideable for at least a week. Bummer.
On the good side of life I've scaled in at 175 for 3 days in a row, 25 more to go.
Off to rehab.

My wife is slowly getting a similar message.
Sorry for your loss Eric. RIP pooch.
Lots to do today. Coffee in hand. Hope to ride later before a Spring storm buries the trails for a while.

weather is gonna be 70 and sunny all weekend. cut lawn, ride bikes, hammock, grill, beer, repeat.
Sorry @eric strt6 that sucks. I know you love those dogs.
fuckit friday has been postponed to next week due to both me and my co-conspirator having crap to do at work.
Outside lunch with beers is definitely on the horizon, as is possibly bagging work afterwards to go and throw dirt on some berms and finish my death stepup / stepdown . . .

cool. get some pictures!
FYI, when you dislike a post, it is actually a negative hit to one's RM profile, so you are basically kicking Eric in the nuts while he is down. You mean bastards.
We're disliking it because we don't like what we're hearing. It's a sad loss. Which is why he's getting positive reps, while we dislike the content of the post.
I would too, if it didn't involve me having to swap my wheels out again.
Listening to iTunes U course on critical thinking and arguments. I thought about the Monty P sketch as I was downloading it, and then the lady teaching the course started talking about that sketch.

are deposited the Remains of one
who possessed Beauty without Vanity,
Strength without Insolence,
Courage without Ferocity,
and all the virtues of Man without his Vices.
This praise, which would be unmeaning Flattery
if inscribed over human Ashes,
is but a just tribute to the Memory of
Boatswain, a Dog
who was born in Newfoundland May 1803
and died at Newstead Nov. 18th, 1808
When some proud Son of Man returns to Earth,
Unknown to Glory, but upheld by Birth,
The sculptor’s art exhausts the pomp of woe,
And storied urns record who rests below.
When all is done, upon the Tomb is seen,
Not what he was, but what he should have been.
But the poor Dog, in life the firmest friend,
The first to welcome, foremost to defend,
Whose honest heart is still his Master’s own,
Who labours, fights, lives, breathes for him alone,
Unhonoured falls, unnoticed all his worth,
Denied in heaven the Soul he held on earth –
While man, vain insect! hopes to be forgiven,
And claims himself a sole exclusive heaven.
Oh man! thou feeble tenant of an hour,
Debased by slavery, or corrupt by power –
Who knows thee well, must quit thee with disgust,
Degraded mass of animated dust!
Thy love is lust, thy friendship all a cheat,
Thy tongue hypocrisy, thy heart deceit!
By nature vile, ennobled but by name,
Each kindred brute might bid thee blush for shame.
Ye, who behold perchance this simple urn,
Pass on – it honours none you wish to mourn.
To mark a friend’s remains these stones arise;
I never knew but one -- and here he lies.
- Lord George Byron
Sorry for your loss Eric.
Stayed up till the witching hour playing video games thinking I'd sleep in, only to be woken up at 5 by the wife because the coffee burr wasn't working. PT cleared me for "short runs" yesterday so I Ran 5k @9:56 mile. Thought I was going to die. It's amazing how quick all that fitness goes right out the door. Winter weather is definitely on it's way, so the rest of the day will probably consist of moar video games. Probably take the dog for a walk now too.
Neighbors coming over for dinner, oops better buy some beverages ASAP! Hope to get in MTB ride solo Sat & with Kid #1 Sunday.

It's 11:45 and I've already done all the work I plan to do today.
All that's left is to idly browse through a few journals and chat on the phone with a collaborator from UW who thinks the draft I did for a little commentary piece isn't focused enough on radiology. In response he sent another, unrelated piece he did, which I think is actually much less focused than my attempt! Hmph.

Constructive criticism is just that... did you ask him to comment on your work or ask him to compare the two? Either way it should wait until Monday since your work week is done.
Thanks guys. Its been a rough 24 hours, sitting in the back yard playing fetch with Watson and Jake during my lunch hour is helping a lot.
I'm not a big fan of spring snow, it's just a big slushy mess of blowing snow outside, good for the crops but meh for me. I'm making granola again.
My workout today went well, I "ran" for 20 consecutive minutes at a 13:20 pace and then hit a 10 minute mile. It felt fine to me but my blood pressure hit 202 over 85 and I was almost sent for an EGK, I did 15 on the bike and 20 on the eliptical with much lower reading so it seems I'll live. All in all I am pretty damn happy, a month ago such a modest mile seemed out of reach.
