Morning - when does the new frame arrive Stosh?
'Morning. Work is killing me lately. I just can't keep up with the workload. I can't wait until I get an analyst in here to dump half my work on.
I blew off the gym last night. I was too tired to go.
I decided to get Sirius satellite radio and ordered a unit last night. The damn things are sold out everywhere. Mine is scheduled for Jan 30 shipping.

Stosh, you ordered a new frame!? Whatcha gettin'???? Pics?stosh said:
Mornin Stosh.
broke in the trainer this morning. Sean was up at 5am, so I only got in about 20 minutes, but so far so good. Definitely need something to focus on... tv, radio, whatever - that will be this weekend's project.
Not much going on tonight as far as I know... hoping to get Renae's birthday plans finalized (turns 30 next Friday, and she's made it very clear that it should be a special occasion/big event).

I think you should go all stealth black on that new frame Stosh.
Black frame, black wheels, black components, black Surly wool jersey etc. etc.

Sup yall. Me and Tweek's darts team got second in a tournanent last night. We should have won but we took home a few bucks, so it was all good.
'morning stosh. What's the frame?!
Going to try to talk to my landlord, again, to see if I can get the situation with the retard who lives above us fixed. The guy walks so heavily, he rattles our light fixtures at all hours of the day. Wouldn't be so bad if he didn't wake us up in the middle of the night and at 7:00am on weekends.

I bought this frame and some disc brakes yesterday from Jenson.

Tonight I have to deliver some of my furniture and stuff to a guy in W. Hartford. Cool guy. So far he's bought my computer desk, and tonight I deliver a bakers rack, two end tables and a baby booster seat to him.
He teaches at a local prep school and he's waiting for his wife and new daughter to arrive in a month from Spain. I feel good about helping this family out by giving the guy really great deals on my stuff.
He seems really appreciative of the items too.

Sell that Mars and get a used Manitou Black - the stickers on the old ones peeled right off anyway.stosh said:Actually that was my plan.
I have a dark blue Mars fork and some red HOPE skewers. Other than that it's all black.It will look sweet!!
So I take it you're moving out!! THats sweet man good luck!!MMcG said:Tonight I have to deliver some of my furniture and stuff to a guy in W. Hartford. Cool guy. So far he's bought my computer desk, and tonight I deliver a bakers rack, two end tables and a baby booster seat to him.

Yeah they are. I may keep fork on my old frame. Aside from the drivetrain I will probably end up buying a whole new bike piece by piece.MMcG said:Sell that Mars and get a used Manitou Black - the stickers on the old ones peeled right off anyway.
So now I'll have 2 HT's or atleast 1.75 HT's
I've got a few ideas... just gotta figure out the best option. I figure most of my time on the trainer will be before work... before the rest of the family is awake, so noise levels are an issue.Echo said:
Right now, the trainer is setup near my projector in the basement, so a movie would be easy to pull off. I was hoping to get a satelite feed run to the basement (for sportscenter), but that looks like it's going to be more work than I initially suspected. Music is the last ditch option, mostly due to the noise level issue and my love for very loud music.
Are you cleaning out your house for a reason, or just getting rid of clutter?MMcG said:
vball lastnight, somehow I tweaked my neck.
going to a wake today, one of my best friends dad died (he had brain cancer)

Are you moving parts over for now, or slowly buiding the zion over the rest of the winter?stosh said:
I've thought about buying a cheap steel HT frame and moving parts over from my mongoose. The only real holdup is the fork... my mongoose has a 1" steerer, so I'd need a new fork. Other than that, all the expensive parts should swap over pretty easily (cranks are solid, already have disk wheels, just need the brakes, drivetrain is solid). Figure I'd need a new seatpost/collar and front der.
Yeah, so this is guy is a complete ass! I am so sick of inconsiderate people. :angry: I lived with them all through college (living in a house with 42 girls sucks...for those of you who didn't know) and was hoping to be done with that. I didn't know common courtesy was dead. End of rant. :mumble:binary visions said:
Makes me want a house so bad. It seems like a better investment than pouring money into an apartment. Any opinions on that? Being young and only living in the area for potentially ~5 years, I don't know if it's something I should really consider, or just deal with the hippo upstairs.

My landlord pays our electric bill, I noticed our exterior Christmas lights were switched off last night.antimony said:
I'm lazy and I felt weird having them up but not on and I haven't had time to take them down yet.
I can't wait till our wedding is over so we can purchase a house.
Awesome! CongratulationsMMcG said:
- I was wondering how that was going, hadn't heard from you in a while. Gee, Mark, does this mean your days of big pimpin' are over?
LOL! We'll be twins soon :devil:stosh said:
I have a funeral service to go to tomorrow...cousin passed away on Mondaydouglas said:vball lastnight, somehow I tweaked my neck.
Good f'in morning monkeys.
Just had an awful systems phys lab. You'd think that the guy could get his sh!t together BEFORE the lab, and not have to try and print handouts and other crap while we're sitting there wasting time. GAH!
Not much planned for tonight. I'm packing to head downstate, and with a buttload of bike parts and bits to boot. I just need to get through another long day today.

Good morning! I have SO much energy this morning....not sure where it's coming from though 
Today should be a pretty easy day...a large portion of my kids are on a field trip this afternoon so I can get some photocopying done. Afterschool, my co-workers are having a baby shower for me so that will be fun. Then, it's off to home I go to spin on the stationary bike again! Last night I got in 30 minutes and it felt GREAT!!! I am really missing riding my own bike, but am VERY lucky to still be able to spin and feel great. After my ride it was a nice relaxing shower, tasty dinner and reading my sweetie a book in her room while rocking myself to sleep. Full moon this weekend so some people are predicting a baby in my future
Baby countdown: 17 days!

did you tell him your time is valuable? did you explain you could be home posting stupid crap on the interweb!
You should give it a whirl...I am and I think I am going to like it. I just have to finish my build and then I am off and running! I've ridden Sq-Earl's SS Cowan and it was fun...tough, but such a nice challenge!jacksonpt said:
Morning Monkeys...

Well, still searching for work. I haven't heard from that law firm as of yet....The feeling is not "there" though, so back to square one.
It would probably depend on the frame/fork I end up with. I've thought about a cowan frame with a 100 DJish fork, in which case I would definitely SS it. If I go with something like an explosif and a more XC fork, I'll probably gear it... there's no way I can ride the trails around here in one gear... too much elevation change.TreeSaw said:
I did, and he didn't bother to listen. The NERVE!douglas said:
It's not even that I dislike the class (which I do) or the professor (which I really do), but it's that he is so horribly disorganized. He didn't have any of the materials ready for the experiments, he didn't have the handouts ready for us....he didn't even have his prosection notes! I'm seriously aggrivated that I could have spent an extra half hour in bed and still not missed a thing.
