Stosh, go riding. :p ;)



Hardly anything exciting is happening to me today. I'm glad it's almost Friday but not much new. Watched lost last night, was pretty badass. Oh, I think I'm gonna go ride some xc/fr today, hopefully the trails have dried out by now. :)

hit up redbones w/ about 8 other friends last night, as a buddy flew in from SF. good times, shooting the shat, eating meat off the bone, and drinking good beers. blowing off spin tonight as i've got my car in for scheduled maintenance. glad to see spring is here; the weather is finally becoming bearable (even though i didn't get outside yesterday until 6:30).

tough news about your grandfather, stosh. I hope you have a good visit with him. Don't stress the meeting, they all go smoother than you think, or they blow up into a riotous ClusterF.

Not much going on with me today. Plugging along, planning a project for a client. I have had heartburn since Sunday night, so I might see if I can get into a Dr. this afternoon or tomorrow.

Mornin'. Went to my folks for dinner last night. Mmmmm....cheesesteak!! I'm hoping to get a decent road ride in tomorrow as long as the rain has stopped by then. Not much planned for tonight, maybe some beers. That is all.

Yeah he's been on the way out for a long time. It will go well and I've been expecting it for a long time now. It's just more real.
They took him off all his medication and have a home health worker coming to the house. But enough about that.

Dude I've had heart burn for years now, I refuse to go to the DR. so I use my GF's perscription of some purple pills. Work like a charm.

Morning - got home last night and walked Bailey and contemplated a couple of used forks for the Hollowpoint that I'm considering

a) 2003 Z1 FR SL or
b)2003 Fox Vanilla R

Basically the same price for both forks and the fork would be going on my Hollowpoint.

Then headed over to Laura's for some light dinner, and good conversation. Scanned the Yankee Flyer for places for rent closer to her house and then we both crashed for the night.

Morning! Beautiful day yesterday and (fingers crossed) hopefully a beautiful weekend a-coming! I am SO excited to get out and ride my bike...it's all I am thinking about as I look out at the grey sky and listen to my drummers pound away on their lesson assignments with my student teacher.

Stosh - sorry to hear about the grandfather. I hope he passes peacefully!

Wow - big news Splat. Does it mean you won't have a job? I mean, will they close your office and everything?

I couldn't sleep. Up worrying about my knee some more. :(

Cool. Do their name tags have last names on them?

How were Case Mountain conditions the other night?

Nope - no name tags. Look for me+24years+30lbs and you've got him. I'll send you a pm with info...

Case was fine. We had a great ride and came across very little mud, except the spots that normally have mud. There's a couple spots in need of maintenance, but nothing major.

Rode WH Res last night, which also wasn't bad. Only the really low-lying areas were muddy, so we avoided them and took the road back through the last section. The ridge was dry.
