Is stosh not coming in today or what???

Have a good Good Friday, monkeys.

Gonna be pretty quiet here today.

Got a couple of calls to make and some shows to work on it looks like.

Going for a ride tomorrow with a guy named Gorilla. He was the first monkey I knew, but he's not a ridemonkey.

I'm gonna sit in for DRB, so bow down bitches.

'Morning. I was short on time last night, so I worked legs at the gym in lieu of a ride. Tonight is Passover dinner with MBC's family. I'm hoping to get a ride in tomorrow morning, although it looks like I'm lined up for some volunteer work for our local greyhound adoption group.

Morning all. I'm at work today as well. Full day for me, but I'm getting holiday pay for being here. Went up to my parents house last night and helped my dad plant some shrubs. Got home late, ate dinner and went to bed. Had a dream that I was in bed with my neighbor's wife. :eek: Woke up with a smile on my face. :evil: Tomorrow I'm taking my daughter to a birthday party in the morning and then going to try to get a ride in the afternoon. Sunday is my daughter's b-day so we'll have a full house...

Have a good one y'all!! :)

Mornin' all. All in all a pretty rugged night of drinking occured last night. Not much on the table for today, looks like it may rain so probably just hanging out and playing some basketball.

would that make me a "poser roadie"? I'd rather be a poser road than a real roadie!

just curious but who decided spandex is the appropiate attire for riding road anyway?


but, to answer you, no baggies for the race

Good morning all! I am off of school for today and all of next week :dancing: So far this morning I have fed the baby (quite a bit), played with the baby and had some coffee. Good times!!!

Now, I am getting ready to pack up all of our crap and later this afternoon we're heading out to the Ra-ch-cha area to hang with the inlaws and the jackalopes! Should be a good time :thumb:

morning all. just got back from picking my sister up from uconn so im a little tired from being in the car for 3 hours. its about an hour and a half each way but with traffic it was just super boring since there were idiots in the fast lane who hit their brakes for no reason at all. my knees a bit messed up from a crash when my chain broke during an urban ride yesterday. i knew i shouldve turned back when my chain started popping constantly. i was sprinting for this little jump thing at the middle school near my house and right when i reached the grass the chain snapped. so basically right as i was in a full on sprint the chain snapped and so my foot slipped off the pedal and i drove my right knee right into my a-frame which put 4 small holes in my knee/upper shin and bruised the rest of my knee up fairly well and i also ended up slipping off the back and basically sat down on the tire going what seemed like 25. so as a recap, chain broke, knee went into pedal, pins when into knee, ass goes onto tire, balls into back of seat. :dead: im just glad no one saw the crash because i must have looked so wierd.
