Well it's my FRIDAY today. I have tomorrow off work however I have to go to school till 12pm. Then I have to get my vehicle Reg. done AND then I'm riding tomorrow.
Saturday I have a class I have to attend for first time home buyers put on by the state so I can get some grant money. :)
Then Saturday after class I'm heading down to Philly for the weekend. My cousin lives down there so we're gonna go hang out till Monday.

Anybody got plans for the weekend?

'morning stosh.

Saw something funny this morning. Two roadies on some nice bikes doing a pretty good clip up a very steep hill on my way to work. Then this guy in baggies on a cheap Trek hardtail with discs hits the hill and starts powering up it. He absolutely dusted the two roadies and kept hauling until I lost him in the rearview mirror. Kinda funny.

Plans for the weekend are seeing my dad on Saturday, and building narlus' computer on Sunday.

for the fourth time in a row I got second place at the wednesday night crit.

Not too many plans for the weekend. I am supposed to go to North Carolina for a friends bachelor party but I will probably not end up going. I spend too much time away from home from work and can't personally afford two more days away from home. Of course my other plans for the weekend include getting packed for another business trip monday. :mumble:

I love re-work. Nothing like getting paged as I walk into the office only to find out the job I spent three hours doing last night got wiped out because some assmunch I.S. person refreshed the database without taking a backup first. :mad:

We lost another damn hockey game last night. We are WINLESS this season after reaching the finals last season. HOORAY! :mad: I am at my wits end with this team. No one else on offense is scoring. I had a goal and as assist in our 4-2 loss, plus no one bothered to show for the damn game so we had one guy on the bench, meaning I had to play nearly the entire game. I was frikkin exhausted. Kind of hard to get anything going when your legs and lungs are totally spent.

Anyway, MBC and I are going to do a road ride tonight, so that should cheer me up (not that I'm all that grumpy).

Morning! Gotta bake a black forest cake today...take a road ride down to get a haircut 'cause it would be silly to drive and because I want to see the look on the hairdresser's face when I put my helmet on after she does my hair all nice :devil: Then I load up the gear and we're heading to Rochcha for the weekend to celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday and hopefully meet up with the jackalopes for some riding.

enjoyed the nice weather last night and tooled around the neighborhood w/ miles on our bikes. i just noticed that there is a scheduled day of trail work near my house, so i will try to join that on sat. gonna build my Kray w/ BV on sunday. supposed to be cold/wet this weekend, so outdoor activities could be limited. on the other hand, i got 2 new titles in from Netflix yesterday (All about My Mother; Shaun of the Dead) so i could do some viewing.

Shut up and Ride
no plans yet for the w/e

The owner of a company we maintain a webpage for had some complaints, he's in the same complex as us, I walked over to talk to him, and he just went off at me. This is the 1st time I have ever talked to him, (he usually sends someone over), one of things he kept going off on was he claimed the one section of the site was all wrong, but we had it set up exactly as one of his employees instructed us - He screamed "What do you think we are F***ing retards"
He basically fired us, I had to walk out before I started pounding him - and I am never like that / Its been a couple years since I was that mad. I really dont get why he was such an asshole.
Oh, FYI: he and the owner of my comapny are good friends

You mean Sir Gimpy? No, it would be too much for his knee to handle.

I'm not actually in a bad mood, but those two things are what's on my mind this morning. :monkey:

Yeah I wasn't sure about his knee....

I did some research and had some help from a guy on RM.

Nice job dude. On our group ride Tuesday we saw a local race go by in the opposite direction, first the A group blew by then the B's. It looked like fun, I gotta try that soon.

You have the 5th air on you MKIII? I love mine, can completely change the characteristics of the bike in a few minutes. I'm a bit afraid of the reliability though.

The 5th I had on my old HP leaked air a bit, but man was it f'ing light!! :)
As for the newer generations I can't tell. I can't believe how well the MKIII pedals all around and I haven't even fully tweeked the 5th.
