Watchin' you. Writing it all down.
Weather is finally getting a little chilly making it into the 30's for the first time supposedly tonight. BUT the days are mid to high 60's so the riding is awesome. Had a great ride last night and expect another tonight. And the weekend as well.....

I don't have any honey do's or projects so it should be a nice relaxing weekend.

Morning monkeys! Going to a fundraiser thingy at my daughter's school tonight and then most likely drinking some beer. Sat. we're going to "Fright Fest" at the Six Flags up the road from my house. Got free passes, so it should be worth it. Not sure about Sunday. Most likely I'll be doing some winterizing around the house. It was 31 degrees when I rolled out of my driveway this morning!! :eek:

Have some friends coming in for the weekend. Going to drink a bunch of beer then go to a Trey Anastsio show to point and laugh at hippies.

To start Friday the 13th out properly my check engine light came on this morning and the car certainly drove like something was wrong.:banghead:

Morning - had my last two interviews yesterday - then later in the day I spoke with the HR Representative to get the scoop on their benefits package. I think they are putting their heads together to make me an offer real soon. I hope it is a really attractive one!

Lots of hockey on the slate for this weekend - Go ECHO Stars!!!

Oh and I watche the end of the Bruins game - they blew a 2-0 lead with less than 5 minutes left in the game and then lost the shoot out. New faces, but same results for the Bs this year???

Bluebug - when do you officially start your new gig?

'Morning. I had to wear my wool coat into work today. Low 30's! HOORAY!

I'm off to Orlando tomorrow for eight days. I'm kind of bummed to be missing two full weekends of prime Autumn MTB in New England, but I'm not complaining too much about having to go to the conference. MBC will be joining me on Wednesday.

Mornin all.

I called in sick today (mental health day). I have a dentist appointment this morning and I'm hoping to ride this afternoon. Not much on for today otherwise.

Tomorrow I'm heading down to the Penn State/Michigan game. PSU is going to get killed, but it should be a fun time regardless. Sunday is kind of up in the air at this point.

I feel like I'm in a tail spin right now... my job isn't going so well and I seem to be killing all the important relationships I have. *sigh*

It'll all come around. Everything is ok in the end, otherwise it's not the end.

Make some new relationships; come ride sunday. I think we're starting around 2.

Good morning. Back home as of yesterday. OK - I am actually in the office, but I am planning to leave around 2 to go (gasp) play golf. I might ride later. I hope to find a tall monkey from just north of here for a ride tomorrow. I have a new Xen helmet to try out. :thumb:

perfect timing in the "cooler" weather for you with that helmet. I am sure it will be tooo warm for you come summer heat. I like the retention system on the Xen better than the E2! :thumb:

Good morning,

So much to do at work today my head is spinning already. Just a quick post and back at it.

Yet undetermined MTB ride set for early tomorrow morning followed up with a 75 mile road ride on Sunday.

Starting to think about getting stuff together for 2007 24 Hrs. In The Old Pueblo, registration opens Monday.

Back to the grind, have a good weekend.

I am hoping that I get used to it as it gets warm in the spring. It does fit well. Seemed like a good deal for $50. It's kind of ugly, being bronze, but I would wear a pink one if it were cheap.
