How is everybody today?
Spent last night finally getting around to making 4 apple pies. It sucks because they look so good just sitting there on the table but I can't eat them.

So who's at work today?
Oddly we have 2 people who called in sick today...

I'm at work. Hi!

I stopped at Dunkin Donuts this morning for a coffee. They were COMPLETELY wiped out of donuts. Not that I wanted to buy any, because generally speaking donuts make me ill, but I thought it was funny that they had ZERO donuts left.

Funny I was going to stop till I realised the only people in the office would be me and a Jehova Witness so I found it pointless.

Hey. Morning here is ok I guess. My ride scheduled for this AM got cancelled. Not because of rain or ice, but because the kid I was going with got too drunk last night and "didn't feel up to it". :rolleyes: Pu$$y. Anywho, it's probably all for the best anyway... I've got to hit the supermarket, liquor store and pick up a few last minute stocking stuffers anyway. Hopefully our Sunday group ride will still happen.

got stopped by a policeman for speeding on the way in. turns out he stopped a neighbor of mine just a little before, and let them off w/ a warning. he was still feeling charitable, so he let me off w/ a warning too. so that's nice.

gotta pick up hil's bike today, can't wait to see the new fork/headset combo. should be sweet. no one is in work today. really dead.

I'm at work. I feel crappy (cold). My "boss" already said I could go, but I let my guy (I only have one guy) have the day off, so if theres a problem & no one to fix it, my real boss(the owner) might rip me a new one, so I am here for the duration.

Took the front end of my Yeti apart last night to try to fix a loose headset. Got everything back together and the play seems to be gone, which is good. Rode the bike up and down the road a few times to make sure it was good to go incase I have a chance to ride next week. Man it felt good to be back on the Yeti - I love that bike.

Spent about 3 hours at the pool hall with my brother last night... played mostly 1-pocket which is a great game. I'm hoping to get our table back tomorrow so I can play some over break.

I'm working today... half day tomorrow too. Then I'm off till the 3rd. I expect to do a lot of work around the house during that time. Hoping to get the last of our crap unboxed (either put away or decide on some type of storage area in the basement). Then I want to get the floor swetp/shopvac'd so it's not quit so dirty down there. Also hoping to get a bit of painting done upstairs.

NIce! I wish I had a long break but instead I'll come in and there will be nobody doing anything so I'll be getting paid for doing very little much like today.

However we get our end of the year bonuses next THursday... they aren't supposed to be very good this year.

Good mornin all!
I'm enjoying my nice Christmas break here with probably 5-8" of snow outside. Guess I won't be going riding but I might take the snowboard out and go jibbing or something like that. :p With all the snow out of course yesterday I had to take my little 2dr S-10 Blazer out and do donuts and what not. Of course it came to a surprise to me that halfway through the day I started sliding lots in traffic when I realized that I forgot to put it back out of 2wd after messing around. Oh well, fun stuff. Then my dad gave me and my brother a few hundred dollars to go xmas shopping for people. Probably some of the better gifts we've gotten people considering we actually had the money in hand and knew we didnt have to get sucky gifts.
