Morning! I am out of here at 11:30 today. :weee: My department is having a cookout/pool party on the company for "team-building." I can't wait to leave! Then we are off to check on the progress of the house. Tomorrow is furniture shopping in Raleigh, and just relaxing for the rest of the weekend. Have a good Friday, everyone! :)

mornin' all, been missing in action lately. Work has been rough. This weekend will hopefully return some more tolerable weather. Although a short but powerful storm ripped one of my gutters off last night so it looks like I have a fun project for the weekend.

Oh yeah, and I just got notified for jury duty...Yes, there is a God, and he hates me.

Stewart on Saturday?

Morning monkeys. Had a nice night with Beth and her mom last night for her birthday. Lots of fun. Today will be a relaxing day, and we're going to go for a ride later, maybe once it cools down a little bit.

Morning - had a sleepless night last night, but not so much because I was worrying, more like I was restless thinking about a potential job opportunity that I'm going to explore, so I guess that is a helluva lot better than not sleeping because of worrying right?

Hola'! I :heart: gin. :thumb: Good night last night. Several cocktails were consumed and zero hangover was obtained. :) Nothing on tap for tonight except some relaxing. As Douglas said, tomorrow is Treesaw's ride and Deck Party. Can't wait! Sunday will be a recovery day from Treesaw's party and then Monday a bunch of us party attendees are headed on down to Diablo for some downhilling!! :devil: This weekend has the potential to be of mythical proportions!! Photographic evidence will be obtained. :sneaky:

I am getting all the crap packed up for the beach.... I have to pick up my surfboard from my parents, load the car and get mentally prepped to be with my family for the week... I can tell you that much alcohol will not only be needed but will be consumed! We are leaving Sat. morn, stopping in DC to visit Bek's friend from college, and then heading down Sunday... I hope there is some swell!!!

I put a nice CD player with all the Ipod capabilities etc. into Bek's car last night (man do wiring harnessed make it easy! Installers now days are lucky wussbags!) Now I just need to jump into the 20th cenrury and buy an Ipod!:rolleyes:

Forgot to add we had some wickedly good spicey food last night. Blackened string beans were out of this world, and the Jerk chicken was very tasty (a little bit on the sweet side for the rub, but very good nonetheless).

Yo all. Got the car back with a discounted amount of over $1500 in repairs! And that included a cheap to almost free tow from Lake Placid to Albany by my awesome (and bike riding) mechanic...

Weekend is still up in the air, - we may end up at the Spier ride and Treesaw's party but won't know until later today...still figuring out the dogsitting situation!

"Cough Cough..." I'm feeling sick and may have to go see a Specialist on Monday in Vernon, NJ (if the bike dr's at Elevate frankenstein my rig by the weekend....) "Cough Cough!"

It all depends on parts coming in from Kona, unfortunately...I have experienced Kona's "slow boat from China" shipping in the past! I'll buzz Elevate later in the day - have to say I have never spent time in the shop before and they have a good setup!

GOOD LUCK!

I was up at 3 because the dog got stuck under the bed and I woke up to her thumping around under there trying to get out LOL. Then I couldn't fall back asleep.

Get sick on Monday, and meet me, Treesaw, Sq-Earl, Isa, Echo(?), etc. down there. ;)
I really want to go down there... but I can't swing it due to I'm leaving for Whistler on Tuesday morning at like 6:45. I already disassembled the Nicolai and boxed it up :(

Once you all see Diablo though, you will not be able to resist going back... so we will ride there :thumb:
