Now we have tornado watches in effect for this afternoon and tonight, and it's a little stormy already. I am not happy about that. We're supposed to get that system that moved through TN. I think I'd feel better if I had a basement to crawl into. 
:bomb:

but I loooove this guy :mumble:I Are Baboon said:Yeah, Jackson's got issues with this guy:
but the end result is one hell of a bad A$$ showcase of a trail. we logged 87 man hours, and had a reporter from our local NPR news station on site interviewing and recording the sounds of the trail building... should be a great radio broadcast if all goes well I think I am ordering a Yeti 575, anyone have any experience, or comments about that bike?
it kicks total ass - that's all you need to know. It will be the best money you've ever spent, and will ever spend.brungeman said:
Doesn't your wife perform the ballfondling adequately?brungeman said:Well, I am spent... I had a pretty uneventful weekend, up until yesterday when I went on a trail building day at one of the best new riding areas in Western PA. I move tons of stone, literally tons... my back is sore today and my arms feel like jello
other than that, I am going to Dr. Ballfondler today... and hopefully he doesn't tell me to stay off the bike...
well now that you ask NOrobdamanii said:

Jackson that is SAWEET... did you buy it with one of their build up kits? if so which one? I was thinking the "enduro race" with the carbon rear, ti-bolt kit, and black ano frame...jacksonpt said:it kicks total ass - that's all you need to know.

Is that the bike you use for XC riding?
Good luck to your giggleberry. Hopefully you'll be back on the bike soon enough.brungeman said:well now that you ask NO

It is.....surgery on the 13th of this month. I was the one taking the pictures. I can pedal a bit, maybe bust a move or two before I have to take a time-out and give it a rest.stosh said:
Yesterday Bob came over and we put in a drop on some trails by my house, a little 3 1/2' ladder. Rode a little bit and hit my little rock drop I put in the other day. Didn't see any chicken f*ckers, so that is good. Did not rebuild the Pike like I was going to so I can help stosh with some pointers, but hope to tonight or tomorrow. I need to make a bushing puller. Also have the local bike club meeting tonight. I think my crappy day started when I got up at 6 Saturday to go wrench on bikes with the shop at a local road ride. It's the first time I didn't roll it, but I haven't been on the road bike since October. It was also raining. All I did for anyone was change flats. WTF??? Just because the shop offers wrench services, people can't change their own f*cking tire. Swear to God - 3 people brought their own tubes over and had us change flats. If I were the owner, I would say piss off. One guy yelled that we kept his presta valve adapter. Uhm - it's a quarter and you brought a tube you bought at someone else's shop, so sorry I overlooked it. What say you have a little initiative and at least pull the f*cking adapter off yourself, asshole. I won't help them again at a ride. F*cking asshole wannabe roadies. :mumble:
No, I bought the frame and all the parts, then built it up myself with the help of a buddy.brungeman said:Jackson that is SAWEET... did you buy it with one of their build up kits? if so which one? I was thinking the "enduro race" with the carbon rear, ti-bolt kit, and black ano frame...
The Yeti is an awesome all around bike. My husband rides one for XC and racing and loves it. I am actually hoping (fingers crossed) to get one this season as well (but that means I have to sell my Jekyll first). I have ridden one a few times and it pedals like a dream uphill and can handle rugged technical terrain with ease. Echo had one, Westy also has one and quite a few other monkeys (Jollytime, Jacksonpt, Instigator had one and a couple of others that I can't think of right now). If you have specific questions, I can try to answer them or have my husband do so for you.brungeman said:Well, I am spent...

Hey there! She's great and getting bigger by the day (I really need to post some more recent photos). She was a bit grumpy last week because it was my first week back to work and she wasn't used to me not being home with her all day/everyday. Today she was happy when I left which is the hardest time to leave her. It's SO much easier to get up and go to work after I feed her and put her back to bed, but this morning she wanted to play and I couldn't playjacksonpt said:
Oh well...I get to play with her when I get home tonight.
My wife went back to work 2 weeks ago... Sean does NOT like being left at daycare. It's not that he doesn't like daycare, he just doesn't like mommy and daddy to leave.TreeSaw said:Hey there!

s !Caroline is about 10 lbs and so much fun now. She has really developed a personality. I will post some more pics to my photobucket account and send a link, T. She didn't like the bottle when we first sent her with Julie's parents, but she is doing better now. I even gave he a bottle at Julie's grand dad's place with Julie in the room yesterday. She is awesome, as I am sure Sidney is.TreeSaw said:Hey there! She's great and getting bigger by the day (I really need to post some more recent photos).

Rockland said:Good morning,
Last week I snuck away for a week. Today is my first day back on the job.
We flew into Las Vegas for a 2 night stay. Just enough. I've done a whole week before and that was too much. In our day there we were busy: Some drinking, some shopping, & a nudie show
Rented a car & headed west to explore for the next 5 days. Our base for the week was this beautiful little place in 29 Palms.

That's the way it is with Syd. Luckily, she's home with my sister most days and my mother helps out when my sister has to work. She just doesn't like me not being there. Now Earl and I have to divide up time when we're both home and it's a little tough.
Excellent! I am looking forward to seeing some new pics. Syd is amazing! She smiles a lot and has some amusing facial expressions (my personal favorite is her one-eybrow raised look). She's even making sounds like she wants to talk already...it's hilarious.loco said:
Why yes. They were everywhere.stosh said:
Yeah - Caroline is making little sounds, and since I don't make sense when I talk anyway, I just make incoherent sounds back. We have quite the conversations. Her funniest look is a lip snarl like Elvis. Her best time is first thing in the morning. She just smiles and smiles. She has started reaching for her toys in her bouncy seat, and it is awesome. I never knew I would love her so much. We are such suckers, we got a bed rail and she stays in bed with us most of the time now. They say she should go to a different room soon, but I would rather her stay.TreeSaw said:
