Morning all. I'm most likely not doing anything this weekend of interest. I did get out and ride around at a graveyard last night that is pretty hilly. Its kind of my pre season training spot because there are plenty of climbs and some pretty fast descents there and since its all gravel or paved as long as its warm enough I can ride there for a workout.

it was movie night @ spin class last night...watched _Saving Silverman_ and pedaled my brains out for ~90 mins...not a very good movie, though there were a few cheap laugh. can't say i recommend it though.

'morning stosh. Been a long week - I'm pretty excited that the weekend is finally here.

I'm not sure I've ever seen someone as excited as Jenn was last night when she got to cross Duke off my bracket :think:

And unfortunately, that is not a euphamism.

It's much better the second time.

There are some great lines by Jack Black and the blonde haired dude.

Morning. Sitting here at home waiting for my delivery... I've got the office stripped to bare bones....except for this computer of course. :D In the meantime, I'm doing laundry. If my stuff gets hrer early enough, I might try to get out for an urban ride downtown. Hope it works out that way, the sun is out and it's darn near 50 degrees!! :eek:

Morning all,

busy day today, and then a lazy weekend... I am going to clean up my bike for sale, (I think I will sell it) who knows....

I have a wedding to go to on Sat. and a ride on Sunday so hopefully I can get to it!!!

other than that... I am off the stir the pot, and poke at the hornets nest with a stick... it is Friday and this is the best time to do it cause most people will relax and forget about it by Monday!!! :thumb:

Good morning,

Beautiful day, 63 degrees here already. It's payday and doughnut day and life is generally good. Hope to have a slow day at work with a lot of web surfing.

Have a good weekend!

Hang out here in ACC-land for a little while longer--- you'll see Duke is all smoke and mirrors in the seasons they aren't completely loaded with talent. That was kinda cryptic, wasn't it?

Last night was the finals of the dodgeball tournament Justine was in. Ha! If they lost any faster, I would have to bring one of those cameras that record the super-fast beating of a hummingbirds wings in order to capture the "action." Poor girls.....they beat the "Pink Ladies" in their first match only to get folded in half by the "absurdly-sized lesbian softball pitchers." We retired to the bar afterwards to drown sorrows in beer---well, their sorrows anyway....I laughed like hell at the whole thing.

Chilly weekend ahead for us here in central NC.....the 80 degree temps we had two weeks ago have gone into hibernation and look to return no time soon. Pops and I may head down to the coast and give some wahoo fishing a shot on Saturday if the weather doesn't get too dicey.

Not much on tap this evening. May grill some steaks and watch some movies.

Stosh, I just heard that it's supposed to be in the 50s and the chance of rain has decreased, so it looks like some sun.

Weird morning around here. Found out that we're taking on a new publication, which has the possibility of severely upping the stress level of my job :think:

Hoop,

my question is, would it be the right place to put a bunker? I would think that in an all out attack on NYC some of the main targets would be the bridges and tunnels in and out... and if the bridge was a target why would you put a bunker there?

I am not sure of the reasoning... it was in a base where a bomb or explosion couldn'y do much harm
