Ha, I got the day right this week!!!

I watched one of the best movies of my life last night. It just came out Tuesday, I had an advance order placed with Amazon and it came yesterday. It's called My Architect and it's a story about Louis Kahn's son's search for his father. It's a great documentary and a strange story too.

This past week, work has frustrated me so much I am so close to just walking out. Luckily I leave for Old Pueblo in a few hours, I may just stay out in the desert for good.

I pedaled 2 hours to nowhere last night. Came home and did some laundry (I HATE friggin laundry) and crashed in front of the idiot box. :help: I need a life.

The good news is that I'm planning my conferences for the year and will most likely be in SF in Joon and Breckenridge in Jooleye. Yeeeeee Ha!

I'm glad tomorrow's Friday, this week has been really weird, everyday either seems like a friday or a monday... :confused: Anyways, I had a nice lazy night last night and chilled out, watched Lost. Then after that I saw Forbidden Planet on TurnerClassicMovies. That was pretty sweet. :) Hopefully I can drag myself to the lbs to pick up a few parts today to completely finish off my AC.

I am back to work after being off sick with a bad cold. My co-workers truly suck. All the work they were assigned in my absence is f'd up or not done at all. I have a friday deadline for 2 jobs. No way in hell I am going to make it. I asked for help and was assigned the biggest deadbeat in the place. Before he could get statred he had to go have breakfast and a cigarette. He has been gone a hour and has even started to work on the assignment. I am facked. I still feel like crap too......jdcamb

'Morning, monkeys.

Did my usual weight training/cardio session at the gym last night. I've lost five pounds in the last two weeks. :thumb:

Busy day at work today...

Mornin'. Did nothing last night. I did get my new fork yesterday. It's actually a little more beat up than it appeared on eBay, but that's the chance you take I guess. The stantions are clean and the lockout works. Once I clean it up and get the ripped stickers off it'll be better I'm sure.
I get my year review today at work. Kinda nervous. A few people have been laid off recently and the company isn't making any money as of late. If I come out of it with my job intact I'll be happy. If I get an actual raise, I'll be psyched. Kinda sad huh? :(

Can you suggest one? All I am finding is a book on how to build one, and I don't want to mess it up. I imagine the ramifications of small errors are drastic.
make sure it uses crystals

Good luck and have fun in Old Pueblo Westy! Send my good luck wishes to the rest of the Monkeys too.

And oh yeah, give Douglas a third kick in the nads from me too! :D

Oh yeah - and good morning monkeys. Had a good night last night. Did some adjusting of the saddle and saddle angle on the Hollowpoint and went for a little spin - oh baby this is going to be a kick butt trail bike! Slept over at Lauras, came home walked the dogs and then took another short spin this a.m. on the Hollowpoint. I was late for work but who cares, it was fun to pedal a bit this a.m. :D

G'mornin :). So glad it's Thursday!!! Nothing much new...worked on the bike last night, cleaned the apt, paid bills and was in all other ways depressingly normal and boring. Today ...well it's the same old work thing ;).

In a bit, I'm gonna post a tax question, cuz I just don't get what I found last night...
