How is everybody today?

Ughhh I had a long weekend that felt like I got nothing done. Saturday I was framing a house all day in 30 degree weather then met some of my college teachers out for drinks.
Sunday went to a computer show and took care of my sick GF.

Friday I cut out of school a little early and went for a nice ride.

Saturday, Squirrel & I walked around downtown Saratoga for a little while and had a few beers.

Sunday, I went for a nice long ride in the freezing cold and came home to finish my christmas cards up.

Today it's REALLY cold here (I think it's -1) so I will be hitting the trainer instead of braving the elements.

It's my first week back to teaching without a student teacher, so that should make the week go by fast and then it's holiday break :dancing:

My weekend started Friday afternoon with a holiday party at a German restaurant. Holy cow, Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest beer is soooo good. I was drinking it, thinking "god damn this is good beer." Then I chased it down with some brautwurst, knockwurst, sauerkraut, and spatzel (I am sure I killed the spelling there).

This weekend was pretty much holiday preparation. Not a lot of exciting stuff, but it was fun. I made meatballs yesterday.

You should keep that Gemini and
give me your Yeti the Gemini will serve you much better Westy and I know you are in the giving spirit right!?

Oh yeah - had a nice weekend - spent lots of time with Laura on Friday and SAturday nights and I had a blast with my sons yesterday.

REally cold and snowy here in CT this a.m. but I hear rain is in the forecast for Thursday. Crazy!

Hey, I need a new seatpost.

 

[binary visions]

It was f'ing (yes, I know it's only Monday) COLD this morning. The wind was nasty - every brush stroke full of snow that I took off my car got blown right back in my face.

Weekend was nice.. Went to my girlfriend's family Christmas party, where they had a Yankee swap and my girlfriend scored a basket with a bottle of Jose Cuervo, margarita mix, blue corn chips and salsa. Great bunch of people - very loose, happy, good sense of humor...

I have a little bit of shopping left to do and I'm dreading it - it's madness the week before Christmas

Was reading Kyle's (aka ssaddict's) thread again this morning and was reminded that his family won't have him for Christmas this year... Enjoy your family time, folks, no matter how much of a pain they might be.

 

[corey_rideDC]

hit the dirt jumps until i was starving and dizzy on saturday, a miserable hour of shopping on sunday, then braved the icy roads to hit the late session at vans skatepark. trying to be there every sunday and tuesday until they close. then i begin sulking

 

[narlus]

Hey, I need a new seatpost.

[stosh]

I've always wanted to ride in one of them.

I need a longer seatpost for my Rocky Mountain Spice. I'll be using that bike for racing in '05, and with the current setup I can not get full leg extension on the downstroke. That bike is a tad too small for me, but I was a newbie, uninformed shopper when I bought it in 2001.

 

[narlus]

gotcha. good luck w/ the racing.

i echo BV's sentiments re: family time @ xmas.

 

[TreeSaw]

I'll be baking apple pies this week.

Excellent...I will be baking breads (zucchini, banana and cranberry), tons of cookies (5-6 different kinds) and cheesecakes!!!! neaky:

Nice! I love zucchini bread with peanut butter. It's usually a summer food for me though.

Morning

Feel like I've been kicked several times over in the nuts and the stomach right now. Had a ride on Saturday where I was supposed to meet up with a another person, got there late because some dumb ass decided to park their car right behind mine, got there and managed to catch up with the person. Went out for Indian that nite, had Potato Tikas and Chicken Vindaloo.

Sunday tried to ride just felt like nothing was left in the tank for that and have been feeling sick since then.

 

[biggins]

oh man slid across the road jumped it up over a curb landed and slammed into a big bush that was strong enough to stop my car dead. Broke the whole front wraparound bumper skin/ground effects and the fog lights. didnt call the cops just backed out and continued down the road. I have full coverage but it would have been 6 or 8 hours of standing in below zero windchill and snow to get a police report. Oh well guess i'll be driving around in a banged up car for a while.

Aubrey ate something and she was sick all day yesterday and today. Glad I only had a little taste of her shrimp bisque.

That's the beauty of the intarweb, biggins. The ability to ignore people because they're not physically near you.

friday was cool for me, except i found out that i have d's in two classes. it's fixable, but still, not a good thing. well, being that i'm still in high school, i had three parties, ate way too much sugar, rode home, and fell asleep. this weekend, we couldn't have created better weather ourselves. sunny, 65*, no clouds, slight breeze. i rode both days, got super psyched for 2day, and it's f***in windy out. so windy that trucks are getting turned over on the highway. well, i'm pissed, but maybe it'll calm down this afternoon. we'll see, eh.

 

[biggins]

i know, and it was a funny comment. I'm just bummed really about the whole situation. i was gonna post some pics but i left my camera at my buddies house last night. Oh one good thing was winning poker last night so that is an extra 40 bucks in my pocket.

good morning.

Party Friday night, out until 3:00. Saw a fresh, single car, roll-over accident on the way home and stopped to ask "is everyone alright?" to which a man replied "hey, no, we're ok, no need to call the cops right?" Right. (how do you flip an SUV by yourself anyway?)

Rode Saturday am at 9, hit the trails/jumps/stunts for a couple of hours, I had SO much fun I can't even tell you. Tried some bigger stuff that i've been really scared of (14' gap x 6' set-down stunt) and nailed it. Then home to host another party. Ate about 40 pounds of ham, pasta, bakery ... all washed down with about 2 glasses of wine too many.

Sunday am: brunch party (ugh) followed immediately by a St. Nicholas party an hour away from 3 till 8 ... lots of food (yeaaa!) and wine (hic'yeaaa!!!)

That is 4 parties in 48 hours. I'm broken.

Now I'm fixin' to go finish my xmas shopping (hard this year being out of work) and go to the gym later to begin undoing the damage.

Have a great day everybody!

Where upstate? My Mom used to live in Ogdensburg, right on the St. Lawrence river. It doesn't get much more 'upstate' then that! Such a beautiful place. Now she is in the White Mtns. in NH ... goes from cold to colder each time she has moved, but always somewhere with good trails!
