...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...
I absolutely love turnabouts like that.

Morning! Another day here at work. Should be a decent one though. My next door neighbor is having a bash tonight, so that should be fun! As for the weekend, 6am on Sat. I fly out for Jamaica!! :D :thumb:

I just found out I have to work Sunday. Bad because it's supposed to be nice. Good because it's double OT. So now instead of riding I'll be doing trailwork all day Saturday and nerd work all day Sunday. Jizzydave would be so proud.

Road ride tonight, followed by Titus maintenance so I can ride it tomorrow (I have to swap out the derailleur).

One of these times I will join you on that 'Nam ride. :)

Instead of dirt six-packs, I went fishing yesterday and hit the liquid 12-pack. Beeeee-Youuuuu-Teeeee-Fullllll day out yesterday. Caught lots of fishies. Caught a great 4/20 buzz. Not bad, not bad at all. Fiancee is out w/the girls tonight, so it's just me and the dog hanging out. Gotta get all my camping gear straight for Monkeyfest this weekend.. Weather report says a few stray showers and much cooler temps than what we've been having. No, no, non spring......don't leave us yet---you just got here!!!

Do you actually laugh like that? "Bwahhhhh"? Isn't it more like, "Bwahahahaha"? Or do you actually leave the A's out of your laugh and it just sounds like one big exhale?

Maybe he is not laughing but simply had the wind knocked out of him.

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.
Almodovar? I don't really like his movies. I'm watching Straw Dogs tonight. Mega-violent.

Well tonight is going to be a blast... We got some rails piled up and had a machinest weld them together to make a 4 kink C rail with the snow from the Ice Rink. I am going to be able to get the 1080's out and have some fun a little rail. Nothing else fun. Me and some friends have and idea of making a road gap, like a 20 foot double but no bike so i might try to get my Gemini up here but I need to wait to get my new MTX's on there. But no plans for the weekend :( Going to get pizza for lunch, dinner, and dinner tomorrow night... YUM... and i need to restring my tennis racket... its going to be a LONG day.

have you seen _American Movie_? it's totally great (tangentially a horror movie, it's really a documentary about one man's struggle to get his film made).

I've seen "American Movie". All I can think of when I try to remember that movie are the parts where they were trying to get the old guy to read some lines "It's alright, it's okay, theres something to live for. Jesus told me so .." or something like that. Kooky flick for shure.
