That'll be more impressive on December 10th than it is on January 10th, home slice.stosh said:
what did you end up deciding on?MMcG said:
Good Morning all.
The Stanley Cup was in town, but I found out too late. Sort of pissed me off, because I missed it after we won it in 99 too.
Friday after work the family grabbed some Tex-Mex at a local place.
Once the kids were down, we jumped in the hot tub, had a few drinks and watched Kill Bill vol.1
Saturday I knocked out the Laundry, cleaned up the kitchen, and garage. Went to Best Buy, and picked up Troy, and a Biday present for my brothers party. Went to the party that night. Came home put the kids to bed and watched Troy. Good movie.
Sunday stayed home and enjoyed the weather. Caught bits and pieces of the games. Grilled some chicken and watched a little TV before going to bed.
No riding, due to rain earlier in the week. The trails were still a little muddy.

That looks better on paper now.stosh said:
'morning Stosh ...
Shoveled out the dirt jumps Saturday and played for a while, then went to a fun but different wedding on Saturday night with an alcohol-free reception, followed immediately by meeting some other wedding guests for beers.
For everyone (like me) looking for work or hating their job, the groom works for Motorola and was told he could either lose his job now or go and work in Dubai for 1.5 years (United Arab Emirates sp?) so he's been there for a while, back for 2 weeks for his wedding, then back for another year or so.
Sunday was spent riding at the skatepark on my Chamelelon. I met a guy with a medium frame (I ride a large), I rode it a bit, and now I must sell my large and get a medium frame. WHAT a difference it made.
Have a great day everyone.
edit I also had some awesome wings last night ... yummy.

Bastard! I've had this annoying cough since late December... :mumble:
I've never smoked... :eviltongustosh said:
All the fuggin rain down here in La is driving me nuts!
Can't ride local trails because they are flooded with at least a foot or two of water now. I need to drive over to Tyler Tx sometime. That trail drains well in the winter.
Also rain related.... I have a house foundation I've been trying to get the beams and footings dug for the last 8 days and everytime it drys out a little we get socked with more rain... :mumble:

Facia, I guess.N8 said:
Roof plywood in rotting in the corner, and I have a f'in dead squirrel in the attic.
I'll be riding. It was a little slick yesterday, but nothing the big bike couldn't handle.loco said:
You going to bring those tires.

Which ones??? I don't recall now. If you tell me, yes.Wumpus said:
Still regret shooting the squirrel, huh???
The bride and groom are very into their church. Non-catholic, female minister, lots of singing and a band for the ceremony. It was very spirited for sure. The reception was held immedately following the wedding, at the church. It was nice, and fun, but somewhat low-budget. There were bottles of 'sparkling grape juice' and 'alcohol-removed' wines on the tables, and a BIG punch bowl which I had high-hopes for until I discovered it was just some sort of juicy-juice crap. First time I'd ever been to such a party.stosh said:
Sounds like my mother's wedding 10 years ago... Nearly fell asleep during hte ceremony... didn't even attempt to go to the reception... said to my bass player/best friend at the time: "Sam... get me the HELL outta here!!!!"Nick said:
You'd be hard pressed to find someone who'll take that bet...stosh said:
Hard to say for sure as they were covered by about 6" of snow and 3" of ice, but I'm thinking they are probably pretty basic hardpack/XC trails.stosh said:
Absolutely.stosh said:So can I come and camp out some time this summer?
jacksonpt said:
do you think Stosh would actually show up?
Let's just say that I'm not exactly rearranging my summer schedule to make room for Stosh's visit.douglas said:
Something smaller than a 2.1 that will hopefully hook up better than the motoraptor that is on the bike.loco said:
That squirrel had to go down like a clown.

Nope, just the facia. May be a summer project to redo the sheathing.stosh said:

Morning everyone!
I went and watched the Atta Boy 300 this weekend - a 12 dog sled race with competitors from all over the world. Stage one was up at Mt. Bachelor and I'd never seen anything like it, though I've read a book about a Yukon dog sled race. I had sooooo much fun, dogs are so cool. They get so damn excited and are yelling and whining and barking before they get to run.

No, the fascia is 1x6 and was rotten. The sheathing in one corner is also water damaged, but I'm not tearing up shingles in the middle of winter to fix it.stosh said:
More concerned with keeping the rodents from nesting in my attic right now.

As always Heidi, I am jealous of where you chose to land in the US. Looks awesome there.
