Another weekend of skiing in t-minus 7 hours...
More skate skiing and snowboarding for me tomorrow - I'm also going to watch the Chevrolet US Snowboard Grand Prix halfpipe competition at Mt. Bachelor. WOOHOO!
I pepper sprayed myself last night... well... not exactly, but the story goes a little something like this:
I'm going to be in some rather um, "rough" neighborhoods as I work some of my real estate deals. Rather than carrying a concealed weapon, I decided to carry pepper spray. Just to test it out, I spray a tiny bit in my kitchen sink. So far so good.... The problem arose when I wanted to wash it down. I guess the water kicked some of the fumes into the air. I have a touch of asthma, so when it hit my lungs - instant attack. So I took a puff of my inhaler, and that calmed it down pretty well.
Somehow I got a little of the pepper spray on my fingers as well. And even though I washed my hands for at least 3 minutes after the sink incident, there was still enough on there to cause a problem. I proceeded to get some in and around my eyes, nose and mouth. I said 'screw it', drank a full glass of red, hopped in the shower, and went to sleep it off...
I'm an idiot...

Good morning! It's Friday...woohoo! We're having a big retirement party at work this afternoon for the VP/co-founder of my company, which should be a fun time. It's so nice to finally work at a place where everyone is just happy and relaxed. Hope you all have a good end to the week 
Woke up today at 5 of 8 after going to bed at 2. No idea why I woke up so early and frankly, I have nothing to do today. Everything involves spending money, something which I do not have very much of these days. Any suggestions?
IAB you are turning into quite the Ski Bum this season.
Lots of hockey on tap for me and my sons this weekend. Connor will be in goal for his Mini-Mite team this weekend. I'll guess we'll see if we have a little Martin Brodeur on our hands come Saturday and Sunday.

Happy Friday!
I actually got up early this morning to ride. Amazing for me and especially amazing for a Friday. It felt good though.
Work today then heading to Seneca Falls for the weekend.

good spin class last night, except for the fact that the instructor, after openly soliciting people to burn new cds for the class, turned mine off after 1/2 through (right in the middle of The Catherine Wheel's "I Want To Touch You".
hmph.
if you ask for cds, then play 'em (or at least give some guidance of what you are looking for). bastard. :mumble:
well, if anyone is curious about it (i zipped for a fellow monkey and it's available @ yousendit for 25 downloads), you can find my spin cd and tracklisting for sampling. it's ~63MB, just so you know.

i did that after the 24 hr of Great Glen one year...after the race we packed up and were heading home, but stopped at some place near Conway to eat. i ate some 'lava wings' and then one of my contact lenses was bugging me.douglas said:
I think there was a story out there for a while where a guy used Icy Hot instead of lube while making sweet love to his girl... ohhhh mama....Polandspring88 said:
Sweet! Yah, it's warm here this morning - I'm going to take a long way riding to work.bluebug32 said:
WOOHOO
Good morning,
Supposed to be 80 here today so might have to go for an evening ride.
9:00 AM ride scheduled for tomorrow morning to start getting ready for the 24 Hours in The Old Pueblo.
Have a good weekend!

heh, i just got a call from chris, the spin class leader. he apologized for cutting my tunes off.
Morning all,
I think I might go riding today, my cold is just about gone, and it's going to be almost 80 today so the weather is perfect.

One of the reasons I can't do spin classes, I hate the crappy music they play.narlus said:
Not saying your music was crappy, saying they shut off your tunes because it probably wasn't crappy.
We're trying to get our money's worth out of those season passes. We're halfway to our goal of 12 days skiing this season (which would make each ski day $35).MMcG said:
Good morning! Pretty slow day here so far....my kids are participating in a school spelling bee so I have been catching up on e-mails and paperwork. Went to the Dr. yesterday and toured the maternity ward of the hospital...fun, fun, fun. They think the baby is 6lbs. now 
and I have 3 weeks left!!! Next week we're going to have another ultrasound to check her size, but she is currently "in position" so that's a good sign!
Have a great Friday everyone!

I've never been to a spinning class. What music do they usually play? Is it like the crap that people do cardio classes to?
Whatever the spinning instructor feels like putting on. It can be anything.bluebug32 said:

Such a fun race. I really wish I could be there this yearTrainwreck said:
Something to look forward to for next year though!

well, I have never been to an aerobics class - so not sure
the spin class I do she plays high tempo stuff, most stuff I never heard before
I am usually in too much pain to pay too much attention to the tunes..she goes w/high tempo so you can lock in your cadence @ 90-95 w/the beat of the music
Morning.
not to be sexist, but if it's a woman, expect horrible generic techno crap or really bad remakes of pop songs done in geneic techno style.bluebug32 said:

the men aren't much better, typically.
Yeah? I can't imagine you doing E and sucking on a pacifier as you roll around on the floor.stosh said:
I'd pay money to see that.bluebug32 said:
Morning monkeys.
Class sucked. Dr. Pradip Sarkar is the dumbest, most boring, individual on the face of the planet. His lectures are such boring dreck that I think I'll start taking my MyFi and just staring off into space. Blargh.
Anyway, I'm done for the day, sitting around, doing nothing, and LOVING IT.
I can believe that. I wonder if many of these instructors actually ride a bike outside of their little stationary, high RPM world?narlus said:
Oh and thanks for sending the music. I'm at work, so I'll download it when I get home and let you know what I like
