~~Good Thursday Morning!!~~
- Thread starter stosh
- Start date
Morning all, I'm actually a little confused because it was supposed to snow today but actually looks like its kind of nice. Honestly I really wanted the snow. Treesaw hope you pop the baby out soon.
Morning. Still hoping to get out and ride, have to go to a land use hearing this afternoon.
Morning all.
Ifinally got a half way decent night's sleep last night. Got a buttlod of crap to do today and tomorrow - today is my daughter's birthday, and tomorrow we are leaving for florida (vacation) - so between now and then, we have to get the dogs dropped off at the kennel, confirm our hotel stay, airline tickets, and car rental, celebrate Emma's 4th birthday, and I have a crapload of work that absolutely HAS to be done before I leave for vaca.
I suspect I'll end up doign a lot of the work from home tonight after the kids go to bed.

'Morning monkeys! I just saw an accident outside my office window...again. It's a bad intersection w/o a light. I see about three crashes a month. This one was between a car and a minivan. The car got it's front bumper ripped off. Whammo!!
Had a CRAPPY workout at the gym last night. It appears that when I shed pounds, my lifts go down. When I'm fatter, I'm stronger. Funny how that works.

Well both, I suppose. I can use the same weight and do fewer reps, or use less weight and do the same number of reps. I usually choose the prior.stosh said:

Morning.
Turns out birds dont grow when you plant birdseed.

Good morning. They do grow, Burley. Stop posting and get to watering.
I am the greatest bike mechanic ever.
Friend of mine has a brand new Fox100RLT that won't hold air. He sent it back to fox twice, they went so far as to not just replace the seals but the uppers and lowers, but it still leaked. In frustration I had him let me tear it down. It looked like the top of the air piston was not properly pinned to the shaft. I threw in the air piston from a "parts" fork I have and it worked brilliantly. Fox is now sending him a new air piston.

Sup yall. Me and Tweek's dart team spanked the opposition 12-1 last night. w00t.
Hey folks!
Just popping in to say "Hi"
Busy week but not a lot has been going out the door. Weird. Every day has been dragging along like Star Jones in the hundred yard dash.
Stosh...your after work snowboarding adventures sound like a great way to forget about the workday. I wish I lived a bit closer to the mtns. to be able to take off after work and ride for a few hours. Our "Winter" has been extremely disappointing in terms of the ski season, but absolutely stunning for riding and trailwork. 6 of one, one-half dozen of another...
The weekend is looking nice....supposed to head out Saturday with my pops to the beach to test ride a new deep sea fishing boat. The weather is supposed to be cooperative, so it should be quite pleasant.

'morning everyone. Looking forward to Superbowl weekend.
Trying to squeeze some audio equipment (receiver + speakers) into my budget at some point. Audio stuff is freakin' expensive
. Of course, part of it is that I'm a geek and want to drool over the $1000 Harmon Kardon receiver when the truth of the matter is I'll do great with the budget Yamaha I've got my eye on, and couldn't afford the speakers to make the HK shine anyway.
Gonna sell a few things (Playstation which I never use, some games, maybe some of the hardware I've got in drawers) to contribute to the budget.
Gotta call the landlord and get angry today. Situation still not resolved with the ass above us, and he claimed he was going to be "gone on business" all week so he couldn't move - well, he's been home the whole week. :angry:

Morning all,
SSDD. Colds suck.
Treesaw, you having that baby extracted yet?

the good thing about quality audio stuff is that it generally lasts a long time. my speakers are 20 years old, and my amp/pre-amp is about 15. the only stuff i've had to replace really have been cd players and styluses.binary visions said:Trying to squeeze some audio equipment (receiver + speakers) into my budget at some point.

Morning all!
Echo - congrats on the dart game. Sounds like you guys may win the tourney this year!!!
Gumba-Thanks...I hope she comes out soon too.
Yesterday I went to the Dr. office and got poked and prodded and hooked up to the fetal monitors to see how the little monkey is. Aparently she's comfy and isn't in a rush to come out.
I have another appointment on Friday to see what we can do to ease her out soon! I'm hoping I won't need the appointment, but probably will Today I believe I may drive down to Saratoga and walk around downtown for a while. We'll see if that helps.

Not yet...we're meeting again on Friday to make more decisions. I really want natural labor so I can be mobile so we're hoping to hold off on induction. We'll see.Reactor said:

Morning monkeys.
I just got satisfaction from tearing our phys instructor a new one for not doing HIS work on our lab reports, got some extra points, and released some angst on his dumb ass.
Other than that, nothing much to report. Heading downstate tonight after class to visit Beth, and spending the weekend riding (hopefully) and eating good food.
Look at an NAD - IMO, better sound than the HK (definitely better than the Yamaha) for well under a grand. I've got the T753 and I love it.binary visions said:Trying to squeeze some audio equipment (receiver + speakers) into my budget at some point. Audio stuff is freakin' expensive
HT is like buying a new bike - put your money into a good receiver (like the frame) so it's worth upgrading/building on as you go. Then put money into the speakers (like tires) as they have the biggest impact on sound for the least amount of money.
He stomps around like an effing elephant, especially in the bedroom...and early in the morning for about an hour at a time. :angry: Not only does the entire apartment shake and bang, but so do the hanging lamps, and my jewelry box, which sits on a bureau. I am about 24 hours from checking myself into an effing institution. At least it'll be quiet there with the padded walls! I contemplated taking bv's pellet gun up there and doing target practice...a lead pellet in the urethra should quiet the @$$ monkey down! :mumble:stosh said:
Edit: We have not been able to sleep in one day since we have lived down here (6+ months) :angry:
I'd love to upgrade my audio system but my living room has such horrible acoustics it is not worth it. Vaulted ceilings connected to the dining room with no walls, kitchen connected with walls that don't go all the way to the ceilings, hardwood floors and sparse furniture make for a booming echo chamber.narlus said:
Morning Monkeys!!!
I started an on the bike training program yesterday. its meant to make me into a stronger rider overall. I am incorporating it with weight lifting in hopes to ride stronger/better and shed some pounds. Most of the rides are longer, endurance rides. the least amount of time spent on the bike is 1 1/2hrs. that also includes various intervals.. pretty interesting and very do-able
Have a great day!!

Hey monkeys
Not much to report. It's been a long week at work, but things have finally calmed down. Another day closer to the weekend. Hopefully Rob and I will get out for a ride!

Have you talked to the apartment complex? Would they let you change apartments?antimony said:
yea... and the first 30 minutes or so of that movie is all about gratuitous shots of Jessica :love:robdamanii said:

The Yamaha I'm looking at has been widely reviewed and is generally regarded as about the best receiver for under a thousand bucks that you can buy.
I'm not putting together an expensive system here... Couple inexpensive speakers that are good enough to be used as surrounds if I upgrade. I've been poking around in a bunch of audio forums and the Yamaha RX-V#57 (557, 657, 757) series receivers are very highly regarded as being some of the best receivers you can buy for the bucks.
They are supposed to be moving him. We have thought about it, but it is really unappealing. We just moved all our stuff 800+ miles down here after weeks of packing and throwing stuff out, and turning our lives upside down...not to mention we would have to spend $ to get services re-hooked up and such, and we are trying to save for med school, house, vacation...Westy said:

We lived under his sister in Austin. I finally went up and knocked, and she miraculously heard it over the techon, and she came to the door. I just looked at her feet for a couple of minutes. She asked, "may I help you, are you just some weirdo"??? I replied that I was a weirdo, but I mostly just wanted to see if she had anvils strapped to her feet. She stopped stomping later that day. If that doesn't work, knock and run at all hours of the night.antimony said:
Yea, pretty much...I'm a brute. No, he's not 'phat.' When we originally complained the prop. mgr. said he was a "big guy," but not so much. I would say he is like 5'10" - 6'0" and weighs 200 or less...normal looking guy, I would say.stosh said:

Ah, lol - I gotcha. I had a yamaha once upon a time - it was a solid reciever. I'd buy another if my local shop carried them. What speakers are you looking at?binary visions said:I'm not spending "under a grand", I'm spending "a third or less of a grand"
Maybe I'll try that. I was actually just thinking about banging a suitcase against the ceiling repeatedly, but bv stopped that.loco said:
