Good morning.

After a bad start to the week, I got a ride in after work last night and plan to do so again tonight, after which there's a VMBA board meeting. Saturday's a board meeting for the Watershed Center (664 acres of good riding), and I haven't figured out the rest of the weekend.

Tuesday I head down to ride 'Nam with pigboy.

FYI, so you can sleep better at night and not worry about being considered "trailer trash", you might consider using the term "Manufactured Home" when referring to your proposed potential domicile.

Good point, I guess I find it amusing at this point, almost a joke between my friends and I. But...technically, my first wee years of life were spent in a single wide so I'm moving up in the world , but I also don't really worry about what others might consider it ....there are very few places in the world I'd consider "trailer trash"

wow! My micromanaging boss would never think to get me something like that.

This year for the holidays she got me a bottle of flavored oil to dip Italian bread in........at first when it was wrapped I thought it was a bottle of wine and I was kind of psyched about that.....but when I opened it I was like WTF????.......ummmm.....thanks.

I mean I live alone and only cook small meals for myself. What the hell am I going to do with a big arsed bottle of bread dipping oil. I haven't even opened it yet, and I don't forsee opening it anytime soon either.

The year before that she got me some scented soaps - and my co-worker gave me a jar of chutney

Edit: Do you mean a bike headset or a telephone headset Jr_B? I have bikes on the brain so just assumed it was a bike headset at first, but then I realized it was probably a telephone headset thingy.

It's a telephone headset ...I'm on the phone pretty much nonstop at work. I make approximately 30 to 40 outbound calls per day and receive at least 20 inbound. I'm a busy girl This will be nice so my hands will be free and I can walk around the office if needed for testing different computer systems while working.

good morning.
La is in Michigan, so I am gonna try & nail down all of our wedding plans. (almost done...WHEW!)

Me & a friend from work hit up some midnight urban last night after work & found some new gaps & drops & saw 2 frat boys almost commence fisticuffs....but they didnt, pussies.

I think my job is getting in the way of my riding.

We're actually trying for a couple of Fridays (21st and 28th). I will not be around next week, but feel free to take the day off and go riding anyway.

Mark, you are always invited.

Doing that. Driving down Tuesday, riding Wednesday, will probably hit Borderland in AM and Nam in PM, although details may change.

N8 is trying to confuse us.

Stosh, you do know that your picture of the idyllic park with manicured grounds would have instantly jumped from a 6.5 to a 9.5 simply by having your girlfriend knee-deep and nude in the pond with arms raised and dripping handfulls of water onto her neck and breasts, right? Quit settling for the C and commmit the effort to grade A work if you want to get ahead in this life, man!

I don't have any idea what you are talking about... most people read but don't pay attention to these threads anyhow...

Was that some kind of a pick up line?

If you want it to be, big boy.



Seriously, though, good pictures, but the contrast and/or saturation is jacked up so high that they don't look natural. The grass is actually glowing... Gives me a headache

Actually I didn't touch a damn thing on the camera. It was a slightly grey that day and the trees were actually all different shades of green at the time.

You know how it is in the NE when you get that first big burst of growth in the spring.

It doesn't look like that naturally, though. Funny, the camera must just do some heavy handed saturation/contrast in-camera.
