Good morning. I'm leaving work at 1:00 today to get ready for vacation. :dancing:
Today could not be going any slower.

Forget my f'in headphones at home, so today is going to suck without my mp3 player. I also ran out of loctite halfway through rebuilding my bike last night, so I had to quit doing that, kinda put a damper in the schedule, but I took care of a few other things, so it wasn't so bad.
Been working with some dude from Japan all week. The communication barrier is frustrating as hell. To top things off he is sick as a dog and isn't familiar with covering his mouth when he coughs. I feel like I am coming down with his bird flu now. I have an impossible deadline to meet next week, my boss is going to be pissed when I start calling in sick.

Good morning. Still no sharing between both computers. Works one way, but not the other. I have been eluded as to which one is right and which is wrong.
Morning all, had a good evening last night...Went out for my younger twin bro's 20th bday foooooooooood...
Then met the girlie out for some jack and cokes at a local spot...
Also grabbed some tubing so i can run my derailure/brake lines through and begin learning bar spins on my hardtail....

I did a short road ride (15 miles), hit every hill I could think of near my house.
Then went to Kays for pizza & beer

I take that back, it's supposed to be partly sunny tomorrow then rain developing later in the day. Sunday is just supposed to be cloudy!
Good morning all.
i guess that makes me feel a bit better... keep your fingers crossed for no rain and high winds at long islandstosh said:
Morning. I'm starving. 
Got no food?McGRP01 said:Morning. I'm starving.
Hidee-ho, neighbors!
Pizza and beer night last night---the joint was super-crowded for 9pm, but it rocked as always. Why is it these hole-in-the-wall places have some of the best food? Those damn Portugese can really sling a pie, man.
I just came out of a meeting with the suits here at work, and the end result is, that I'm going to have to fire an employee on Monday morning. We've bent over backwards for this guy and his performance, attendance, and attitude has continued to decline with each passing month. I hate to be the one chosen to do this, but I guess that's the breaks, huh? This will be my first termination-talk.......my cherry gets busted on this one. And I know this knucklehead is going to show his ass when this goes down, so I'm definately not looking forward to that. Any suggestions?

Two back to back perfect rides. Yesterday I rode a trail that has previously been under snow. I've ridden up to the snow line a ton of times in the past couple weeks, but last night I was able to go all the way. Trail conditions are SUPERB after all that moisture. I was FLYING downhil jumping and jiving with the trail, full speed ahead. 2.5 hours of forest time does a body good.
Then this morning I suited up for a dirt commute in. There was NO ONE on the trail. There is just something about riding alongside the river...I know most people say rivers can't talk...they aren't "alive", don't have souls...but to me they do. With nothing but the zzzzz of my CK hubs and the sweet smooth sound of the river flowing past lava rocks, I hummed down the trail.
The weekend is here.

Good morning! My new bike (roadie) came yesterday and I had planned on putting it together and heading out for a ride BUT our 55 gallon acquarium decided to spring a leak (major) so I spent the evening cleaning the acquarium, putting the fish in another acquarium and steam cleaning the carpeting Now it's pouring so no road ride tonight either. I am planning on putting the bike together tonight (with Sq-Earl supervising) and am hoping to get out tomorrow morning before Tulip festival! I'll probably test ride it on the rollers tonight too
This is my new bikey:
Managed to make good dinner last night despite the commotion...meatloaf, mashed potatos, garden salad and some broccoli with toasted garlic. Mmmm......
That is all.

Congrats on the new bike, Treesaw! Very nice.
God dammit, everyone has a nicer road bike than me.

not much exciting to report on. We are having a party here today, so it's pretty much a waste of a day. Just ordered flowers for Renae for mother's day... that takes care of that.
We are leaving tomorrow for Virginia (for a wedding). We'll be back sometime Tuesday.
Not very exciting I know... but it's all I've got for today.

bummer about the tank... I had a similar experience once...
In the middle of the night I heard a thud, got up to see what it was... turns out the clock on the wall above my 30g piranha tank fell off the wall and hit the filter on teh way down. Cracked the filter housing, so as the filter sucked up water out of the tank, it spilled out onto the floor. That was fun, as I'm sure you can relate.
What kind of fish do you have? I used to be big into fish... every now and again I miss my tanks.
Sweet bike though - hope the weather holds out for you this weekend so you can get some saddle time in. I'll be looking for you to spend more time in teh roadie forum now
I hope REALLY soon! W're trying to get a free weekend to make the trip. I'll definitely let you know. I am dying to try out my new DH bike there!stosh said:
We were bummed. It's a hexagonal tank and it's leaking down one of the seams. Earl's going to try to fix it, but we'll see. Right now we have just 4 fish - a shark, a very large cleaner fish and two medium/small African cichlids (orange and blue with stripes).jacksonpt said:bummer about the tank...

Nice bike T!! Better pack an umbrella if you plan on riding at all this weekend!TreeSaw said:
If it's split down the seal it should be easy to fix. Just pick up some aquarium safe sealant and redo the inner bead. Let it dry for a couple of days and you should be set. If the glass/acrylic is cracked, then you've got a bigger project ahead of you, if you want to fix it.TreeSaw said:
Good luck. I use to have a pentagon tank - they are defintely cool.
im currently getting ready for prom tonight. should be a pretty good time even though the weather is gonna suck.
I've got my bag all packed in my truck, I'm leaving for Havasupai right after work. For those of you not from the SW, it's a canyon on Indian Reservation land connected to the Grand Canyon. Waterfalls, rivers, canyons ... it's supposed to be one of the most beautiful places in Arizona. I can't wait!

Everyone have a good weekend.

have a camera ready for when he shows his A$$ then claim harrassment and a hostile work environment, tell the suits you need therapy (they don't have to know it is therapy by bike) and take the summer off to ride! (is that the type of advice you wanted)Greyhound said:
