Good morning! Glad to hear your getting out on your bike Stosh. I am planning a road ride tomorrow...hopefully 30-40 miles, but we'll see. Heading out to the Rochester area for the weekend for a family wedding which should be a lot of fun. Today I am recruiting elementary band students so I get to play a bunch of instruments for them and give the same speech 6 times before lunch -- yeah me! At least it's mindless.

I did 11-miles last night and felt good. Taking the day off to rest today, going to do an easy ride tomorrow w/ Kizzi, and then REALLY hammer something significant out Saturday. At least 20 miles.

You should tell them you'll pay for their college if they come play for you for only 1 week a month.

LOL! I hadn't thought about that approach. The sad part is, the kids get all excited to play and need school instruments and I don't have enough for everyone so I have to go on a "first come/first serve basis" and that leaves out a LOT of kids :(

I tried out for band in 5th grade, I didn't make the cut for some reason.

I doubt it has anything to do with my extreme lack of musical tallent.

Morning

Hockey again last night. Liam's Squirt A team's first practice. they are gonna be good. They've got a great combination of size and speed.

Back to the rink again tonight for Power Skating Clinic sessions for Liam and Connor (and me too - they asked me to be an on-ice assistant).

I gotta find time to get my rear wheel back in alignment sometime soon though!

IAB - where are you guys riding?

Morning all. Quiet evening last night as usual. Got home, rode up and down our street helping my daughter practice riding her bike w/o training wheels. So awesome. Watch some US Open tennis and went to bed at 10. :) Today I'm dropping the steelhead off at the LBS to get some gears put on for the Churn & Burn. After that our C&B team has a "meeting" at the local watering hole. :cheers:

I feel good. And I am riding extra caustiously, and only on the road. And its sooo good for my mental health

The doc ok'd using an exercise bike, but said no to actual riding until Nov 4th, but thats more about concern for falling and getting reinjured....(and me not being able to sue him IF something happened)

Been way too busy with school to do much else. Get out and ride about once a week, but most of my time is consumed doing homework, studying, working, extra help, all the good things associated with school. That and the stress is already building.

Morning. Got woken up at 4am by the ass upstairs... again! :disgust: Other than that, just hoping they actually work on our house LOTS the next couple days. They had a few days off cause of the rain, so I want them to bust their butts. Weather looks beautiful and is supposed to stay sunny and in the upper 80s and right around 90 for the next 10 days! :D Have a good one, all!

The chainsaws were on loan from a friend and I had to give them back.

We could use the electric chain saw or we can use my new Pulaski.
I'm making a "beach" area where bruzer can easily enter the stream behind my house. I'm sure we can find something to chop there!

And just so you don't get any ideas it's not a nude beach!
