HOw is everybody today?

I'm late because it's an f'ing mess outside. I'll probably be leaving early today.

I'm amazed at how people driving little toyota's fly down the highway only to be pulled out of the snow covered median moments later.


Anyway hope ya all have a great day!

Out of my mind, back in a moment.
Morning stosh.

Class this morning was cancelled, so I'm home just doing some work. It's nice to not have to go out in the nasty winter weather in the morning.

Got my stem in last night, and installed that. Otherwise, nothing is new.

It's ugly down here as well, but it's just a little chilly and raining - none of the white stuff, fortunately :D

Yesterday was a fun day. Football all day, and Jenn made nachos, brownies, and some absolutely delicious blackeyed pea gumbo last night - had a great kick to it. I felt so lazy - got all my food made for me, the dishes done, and beer brought to me :love:. Had locally brewed beer to go along with the meal.

Shut up and Ride
I was late today b/c other people forget how to drive in the snow :idiots:

I did a 3 hours trail ride saturday, it was freakin crazy nice out for Jan in NY......trails were pretty good except a few spots were all ice (someday I'll spend the $ on studs)

Man, I am exhausted after a fun, tiring weekend. This weekend is how every weekend should be. I'm coming to the realization that I have more fun on winter weekends than summer weekends. Not sure what's up with that.

Stuff we did this weekend:
  1. Went showshoeing for charity (more like mudshoeing)
  2. Skied all day Sunday
  3. Ate lots of good chow
  4. Drank beer and red wine
  5. Won some cool raffle prizes (EMS fleece, sunglasses, shirts, hats)
  6. Did some shopping

Got home last night and crashed. Hard. I can't for next weekend to do it all over again. :)

last day of single parent duty...despite the snow, both kids have school, although otis' bus was ~45 minutes late and i was about ready to drive him in. trying to get some work done but the email connection to my work server is pretty slow, so i can multitask.

not much else going on.

Mornin Stosh.

Beautiful morning this morning... fresh snow, few drivers, slick roads - I love this stuff... this is what January is supposed to be like.

Had a good weekend. Renae's birthday stuff took up most of the weekend... everything went off without a hitch, and she was more than surprised and very happy with everything. So all in all it was a good weekend.

Got in one short (but intense) session on the trainer over the weekend... no real riding though.

'Morning all. Nice weekend...got some dirt under my wheels, some parts installed on the 29er, got the kayak cleaned up and put on a new coat of varnish, and laid on the floor and read books to my son. His favorite seemed to be Sheep in a Jeep. :D

Cool. Six of the nine dogs of the Vet I worked for in CO were hunting labs.
I think all of them were out of Black Forest Kennels in CO.

Good morning.

Spent a weekend just being a giant couch-potato. Got a new keg for the kegerator on Friday and rented some movies after a chow-session at the local Mexican joint. Hung out Saturday and goofed off around the house in my robe and slippers all Hugh Hefner style(well...minus all the hotties, giant mansion, and booming magazine sales and television channel). Went over to my parents house nad hung out with them for awhile. That ended up pretty fun as pops broke out the Tequilla and we started doing shooters of Don Juilo Blanco. After that was finished, he started us in on his Port wine collection and that was about the time we decided it was time to go before things turned out bad for all of us the next day!

Took my truck in for a maintainence session on Sunday(new brake pads, rotor turning, bearing re-packs, 4WD service, transmission flush and fill, etc) to the tune of just slightly over $400. Ouchie! ...Just when the savings are starting come back up, another hit to the account. But, it was a necessary thing......ya gotta keep your ride working properly, but damn.....that's never fun.

I live in Pittsburgh PA. but have a bunch of family from Upstate NY anywhere from Buffalo over to the Binghamton area and a few in NYC.

I got to ride Sunday... about 11 miles with bunches of new logs down it was awesome!!! not as muddy as I expected it kept my mind off of the pending Steeler game.

Good morning! No baby yet :( Driving into school today was a mess...probably should have just called in. Oh well. I am meeting up with my sub today (if she doesn't cancel because of the weather) for lunch so that should be nice. Not really looking forward to my drive home as everyone seems to have forgotten how to drive on any snow.

Treesaw, your a Teacher too? I think I saw in a post or something you teach Music? Where do you teach?

Have you started to get any chills or anything? for some reason, the day before Bek had Emma (the one in my Avatar) she got the chills etc. we had a C-section planned for Monday morning (footling breech sp?) but at 3:20 in the AM on Sunday her water broke... and off to the Hospital we went!!!

I hope all is well with you... have a safe trip home!!!

Good Afternoon Stosh! :D

I was finally starting to feel better this weekend, so I took the opportunity to get outside and play on the bike and with the new camera.




Other than that not much going on. Have a good day everyone! :)

I am a music teacher...Elementary and Middle School Band in the Schenectady City School District. I haven't gotten the chills yet...my classroom is REALLY warm though.

My trip home was quite uneventful...most of the roads are cleaner than they were this AM so it wasn't bad. Now I am off to hit the stationary bike for a little spin.
