How is everybody today?

This is what I woke up to. (see pic below) I don't know what was going on but there was 2 of them and they were patrolling the fields around my house and they were making a racket. It was weird.... I couldn't figure it out. Every so often 4 or 5 barn swallows would dive bomb them.... I had to hope in the shower so I didn't get to see what was actually going on.

Morning Stosh - cool photo of that hawk - maybe they were going after Barn Swallow chicks or something?

Crappy weather once again today. At least I had nice weather when I was on vacation.

I think thi is so cool - one of the guys that is there (wednesday XC races at Dalton) every week, I knew he wasnt a spring chicken but I found out he is 60 yeras old !
And he was winning his group for a while (2 lappers 40 plus), I think he ended up 2nd.

I think I might be going to monkeyfest... anyone know what the count is up to?

Wife is going to be staying in the city with her mom for a few days, with just the right timing for me to slip away.....

Mornin Stosh. Not much on the agenda today - network issues are wreaking havoc around here. Might go test drive some cars on my lunch break to kill some time.

Still rainy, so no riding today.

90% for fun and to kill time, 10% because we are kicking around the idea of retiring the 4Runner to a trail-only rig and getting me a new daily driver.

"more stupider"
Is that actually proper English?

Yes, but you shouldn't exclude everyone here either.

Nice to have you back Stosh. The GM thread simply wasn't the same. I usually love Thursdays, it's just one day closer to the weekend.

I just bought (6th row center) tickets to LL Cool J (but I'm not sure why I did) - I'm not sure why, BUT this stupidier thing might be rubbing off

Over there somewhere.
Morning :stosh:

Was a pretty hectic morning so far. Had to fill papers out so that on Aug 16 I have Jury Duty for the first time ever. Going to go for a ride soon, at least those are my plans.

Well, the Mrs. really wants me to get something else - she's not a big fan of the 4Runner any more. I'm pretty set against picking up another car payment, but I figured it can't hurt to drive some cars... see what's out there.

You should take DHG she likes concerts. Sounds like LL would be right up her alley.

Morning Terry!

Sorry for the delay - I was in a program planning/goal setting meeting. UGH.

I have my work cut out for me this fiscal year that's for sure - but I think I can meet all the goals set for me - maybe with a little extra push - even exceed them. The guantlet has been laid down and I'm up for the challenge!

using the phrase "goddess" in your user name is like saying "grrl" or something cheese like that. But it makes you sound HOT.... so it's a hard call.

TMX means nothing to me so I like it less than Chromegodess.

Hope you wanted such an honest opinion.

jury duty sucks ballz. I've had it a couple of times, and I get there, wait all day, then the trial gets settled out of court. pisses me off, because I lose alot of money if I can't work (since I'm self employed)
