How is everybody today?

Everybody in the NE get out of their snow piles?
I spent most of Saturday framing my friends house, well we were more just preping it for the snow not much framing going on in -10 degree weather. Couldn't even get the nail guns to work. :)
Then it started snowing so we went home. That was about it for the weekend really....

Had a good day yesterday, got a good dinner at my girlfriend's parents' house, watched both games, had a few beers... And the girlfriend volunteered to be "beer and nacho wench" for the evening so I didn't even need to leave the couch while I watched the Pats smack the s*** out of Pittsburgh...

Snow removal is supposed to be included in my rent, but my driveway still isn't cleared :mumble:

Good morning! Man, my back is sore from shoveling yesterday. Wifey snowblowed the driveway, but I still had to shovel where the snowblower can not reach. We got 14".

A rather uneventful weekend. MMcG and I won our hockey game Friday night. MMcG scored on a BOOMING slapshot. That boy's got a cannon. :D

Had a good weekend here,

We had a bikey club meeting on Sat nite. The friend of mine who was wounded in Iraq made the meeting. He's going back to Ft Hood at the end of the month for further assessment.

Went riding with Loco on Saturday. Then I sat around and watched him rebuild my fork. He even polished up the crown. :thumb: Let's just hope that he didn't find any 'extra' fork parts laying around.

Sunday I did yard work. Got my garden plot area mostly cleared. Mowed the backyard. And did a little more work on the eaves.

Mornin all. I had a pretty uneventful weekend. Saturday was spent running errands and puttering around the house. Watched City of Lost Children for the second time. Still wasn't impressed. Sunday we took Evy to an indoor pool and had lots of fun. She loved going down the 2 story water slide with daddy. Then we spent the afternoon/evening watching football.

Nope - yours has all the parts. Mine was a mess. Try Mother's. I did it on the xfly and it was yummy. You can help with our gardening in the spring. :thumb:

It is a weird movie, I like it. Visualy Jeunet's movies are stunning. He did "Alien: Resurrection" as well. Good movie or not it was amazing just to watch.

There is a cool theatre here where you sit in loveseats and the concession stand sells beer! Great movie, two thumbs up.

myself and 2 of my 3 roomates have awd or 4wd, so this was the first time we've shovelled all winter. only reason we did was so other people could get into our drive.

all in all, a good weekend. friday night our ice luge was finally totally frozen, but since it's still winter break and it was super cold, no one came over to help us break it in. so my roomates and i got dirty, stinkin' drunk and had a merry old time. unfortunetly, there was a huge cleanup job to do the next morning.

saturday night was snow football night, of course.

last night was reading and hanging out on the :monkey:. I'm TA'ing a class, so i just wanted to get a head start on the reading. classes start Wednesday, but i f'ing rule at making schedules and only have classes Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. haven't had a friday class in 2 years now.

What model is it? enduroforkseals.com has some great instructional pictorials for some forks. They have several older pdf files of actual instructions. Marzocchi won't provide them any more, so this is a good spot to get them.

Good Morning Stosh!

Spent this weekend taking apart one bike, so that I can build up the other frame tonight. Thanks for the help on Saturday Stosh. :)

Yester day went to the Nature Center and played around with the touch tank, touched some bat rays, leopard sharks, and other various sea creatures. It was a good time. I also learned that "Attack of the Killer Tomatos" was filmed there.

Work is busy, so I should probably get some of it done. Have a good day! :)
