Yo MCG! What's up, man?

I have to work tomorrow. Blah. MBC and I are heading up to Mt Snow tomorrow night to buy me ski boots, spend some time with her family, then ski Sunday. Hopefully Monday's weather will cooperate so me and Splat can ride.

Dinner tonight at DAKOTA (with MBC and her mom). :drool:

Tonight I'll either go running or go to the gym and do some leg weights.

Susan is going to a baby shower tomorrow so I get to hang out with the kids. If it stops raining, I think we will go to the zoo for a little while.

Probably do some easy road riding on Sunday. Yesterday's mountain bike ride aggravated the shoulder so I guess I going to have to take it easy for awhile.

Wow pretty cool. That's one sharp looking German Shorthaired Pointer!

I bet she'd make for a good trail dog. :)
I think she would kill me.

So that dog doesn't actually do anything it was bred to do then I take it?
Not that I am aware of. She gets exercised, shown, then kicks back.

Good Morning.
I think it's been close to a week or so since I've posted. I've got a new boss, and with that comes change. She is very organized, and wants us to be too. I've been doing all sorts of documentation, and it's taking up valuable internet time lol. Anyway, this entire month has sucked. I've only got 27 miles. It is misting off an on today, with thunder storms for Saturday. I might try to catch an early morning ride.

On a side note...last weekend was my B-day!!! I picked up 70 bucks of LBS GC's to spend. I was thinking of a nice bike computer...any ideas? I also got so leg warmers. Every one at my party made fun of me it was great. They asked me if I was going to use my GC's to get a bra. lol. Anyway, I apologize for rambling, it's been a while.

Good morning, Mark. Hope all is ok. It started raining again this morning so I guess the riding will be all dicked up. I am going down south to meet a friend that lives in Billings to see Cory Morrow down at Gruene Hall. It's always cool when Doug is in town, and I always look forward to seeing him. He is definitely one of my favorite friends of all time. :thumb:

Have fun with your friend! Reunions with old friends are alway treasured times. :thumb:

nothing planned this weekend, aside from Miles' 5th b-day. it's gonna be a low-key event but should be fun nonetheless. if the cold weather holds maybe we will go skating.

lucky bastid :D I wish I was going to see Cory Morrow at Gruene, I really have to get down there and do that soon, maybe when we're in Comfort for the DH race in April. Ah well, I got Reckless Kelly playing right now at work, so it eases the pain a little :thumb:

You're going to Comfort. I will PM you my number before then. I would very much like to gang up with you and Vanessa while you are down. If you want to break the drive up, I live a few hours from Comfort and you are more than welcome to stay at the house. Temple is on I-35 and is about 7 hours from you.

works for me my man. Comfort is the plan at the moment, but we'll have to wait til it gets a little closer to the date to be fo sho, make sure we have the $$$ and everything to do it, there's a MDHCS race the next weekend, so it's gonna be tight, but we're gonna try to make it down for that one

and thanks for the offer too, if not then, we'll take ya up on it sometime for sure bud :D

actually I was jealous about boarding in Tahoe, but definitley now about the jello shots.

we just got back from a small resort near Taos a couple weeks ago, and damn! I didn't want to leave to come back to oklafreakinghoma. The night before we left, they got 9" of fresh pow, and I was pist that I didn't get to catch the first lift up and hit that :(

I can't wait to go back
