Going to build up a wheel are ya Jackson? What rim?
Need a new DT 4.1D rim to replace the one I taco'd last summer. I'm going to have the LBS build it for me - not something I want to get into at this point... no way am I putting myself on a wheel that I tried to build. That's got death (or at least a good maiming) written all over it.

My 3year old daughter and I took the old taco'd one appart last night to get the hub free. She ran around all night saying "ssssssssspokes" - we've been working on her "s" sounds.

I took the new rig (hollowpoint) on its first off road ride @ the Pine Bush / I was real happy with the fit and the lack of bob-ing !!
I was surprised how much ice/snow was still on the trails

did about 12 miles

Hello. I just got back from the dentist (just a cleaning). Pretty exciting, eh?

Our MMcG-less hockey team got frickin SMOKED last night, 7-3. The other team was nothing special, we just played like a horse's ass.

mornin'

I don't have anything to do at work today until a 2:45 meeting, so I'm leaving work around 10:30 or 11 to get a couple hours of riding in. Did I mention that I love my job? I just wish there was a better trail than bluff point close to my work.

If this weather holds up MMcG and IAB, I'll be up soon to get an early spring ride in with you guys.

Heyhey I got a snow day! :D

Mostly just sat around yesterday, watched the new lost which was fricken awesome. Cleaned my room up surprisingly, and planned on watching the new south park but since adelphia has changed it to 11 instead of 8 I fell asleep. :(

Morning! Got the day off today so I'm just hangin', waiting for my eggs to cook. The wife got home from Chicago last night around 3am so she's still in bed. Beautiful day out today, around 60 and bright blue sky!! I'm riding today for sure!! Maybe I can drag her out for a ride as well. :)

HA, you kid but you are correct. One of our new guys played defense and kept abandoning it to move up. I couldn't tell you how many 2 on 1's and 3 on 1's they had. They even had a frikkin 2 on 0! (yes they scored on it)

On a positive note, we did have five minor penalties. :)
