LOL no. Not until the 19th, and then for two more weeks it'll be half days or whatever my discomfort threshold is. That said, the first thing I did this morning after working my way out of bed was check and reply to some work e-mail.Consider these my kind words!
Are you back to work today?
Are you going to be tied to one of those knee bending machines?LOL no. Not until the 19th, and then for two more weeks it'll be half days or whatever my discomfort threshold is. That said, the first thing I did this morning after working my way out of bed was check and reply to some work e-mail.
I am in a fair bit of pain today. Good times.
kind words such as feel better and hope you don't hurt too much.Helllllooooooo, MONKEYS! Knee recovery begins today. Thanks to everyone who offered kind words yesterday, and to all those who didn't, well HMPH.
No machine...I'll just have home physical therapy to do a few times a day for 6-9 months, some it involving the use of a strap.Are you going to be tied to one of those knee bending machines?
'Squeeb, I meant to comment your half marathon. An 8 minute PR is no joke. I know you said you weren't thrilled with it, but shaving 36 seconds off your pace is huge. You've knocked more off your HM time in one attempt than I have in six attempts. I've only gotten mine down by about four minutes since my debut. I've actually knocked more time off my 5K. Just keep at it and you'll continue to improve.Enjoy your PT!
Thanks IAB! In my head I know it's a big improvement, I guess what was most discouraging is just knowing that I had run the exact course faster in a training run. Not sure what happened. The course was super crowded, 500+ people on a small town greenway, so I don't think that helped, but I was gassed when it was over too so it's not like I had much more to give. Win some, lose some I guess. Still, I'm pretty fast for a dead guy.'Squeeb, I meant to comment your half marathon. An 8 minute PR is no joke.

I would take the one that is the lightest.Carbon Covert or SB-66C?.
so MBC gets to play Dominatrix huh?... Cool BeansNo machine...I'll just have home physical therapy to do a few times a day for 6-9 months, some it involving the use of a strap.
You can borrow my ladder if you like. I'm not sure it will fit in the stairwell though...Good morning, dammit.
My stupid god#$% CO2 sensors chirping all over the house this morning, waking me up thinking there is a problem but it's only the batteries needing to be replaced. So I go around, pull all of them, only to find it's the stupid god@#$% smoke detector up in the vaulted ceiling for which I have no ladder to reach.
DaPeach: SB66C
Stoney has an SB and Full Trucker has the plastic, er 'C' version, they're very dialed frames.
Stop ordering from Alibaba thenTwice in the past 2 weeks I've ordered things online, and both showed up with small bits missing. People wonder why I hate ordering online.
Amazon, Guitar Center.Stop ordering from Alibaba then
Yes.Carbon Covert or SB-66C?
You sound pissed. No wonder you texted me asking about a ladder. I checked again, still don't have one.Good morning, dammit.

Stoney, sent you an emails RE: work stuff.At work. Wifey got contracts for a bunch of business that she put in proposals for almost 6 months ago. She now has more business than she can handle. This is good and bad though. We will need to put Haley into daycare 3-days per week now, which we really didn't want to do. Thankfully it's with our next door neighbor, so Sarah can drop by for lunch with her. Otherwise, nothing new.

I also really like my SB. Ditto on the "can ride it like a DH bike" sentiment, and still pedal it up the biggest of hills. Mine has a Fox 34 at 150mm and I never deel like it needs to be taller for descending or shorter for climbing. In my experience:DaPeach - I really like my SB66. Going back, I would have preferred to get the C, but I just couldn't justify the additional cost over the Al. It handles downhill like a DH bike, but still pedals great. I know that sounds cliche', but I have been really impressed by it. If I were to change anything, I would have gotten the carbon and have a fork w/ adjustible travel. The fork just so that I can get better DH angles without blowing up my climbing. Not necessary, but a nice to have. I'm currently running a 36 at 150mm.
That would be the Yeti, by about 2 lbs for an XT build...I would take the one that is the lightest.
Yes... I'd likely stick with the 34 that seems to come stock on these XT build-kit bikesDaPeach - I really like my SB66.

Yeah, the Yeti def gets a lot of love 'round the interwebs. Not much to be read about the Covert. I'm trying to set up a demo at one of my LBSs.Yes.

I've got a buddy with an aluminum Covert, and he loves the ever living crap out of that thing. I keep meaning to swap bikes with him for a ride, but don't count on that sort of comparative analysis anytime soon, at least not from me. It is, after all, snowing moar regularly.
