Hey how's it goin' stosh? Yesterday was extremely boring, I just sat around the house all day since our school district is full of wussies and gave us a snowday with some "slick" roads, and 2-6" of snow on the ground (streets had maybe 2) and I was stuck having to watch the younger siblings. I did watch the new 24 last night, pretty badass. Anybody else watch that? I tend to watch a lot of those types of shoes on tv.

You got parts for the Fuel, or are you buying stuff for it (new/used/whatever)?

Crazy day yesterday. Yesterday morning we find out my uncle died on Sunday. About mid-day, my wife officially decided to change jobs. She's still doing financial advising, just with a different company. Then, in what felt like a 60-minute frenzy, we went and bought a new 4Runner (I hate buying things on impulse, especially $28k things), then my wife went back to her office to finish up the job transition stuff just to find out that her old company sold off a HUGE part of itself in an attempt to downsize. She got out just in time. Then, around 10:00pm, we head off to the hospital (we think he water broke, even though we are still 8 weeks from the due date). Get to the hospital to find out it was not her water, so everything is fine/cool - everyone is good. Didn't get home till about midnight.

Man... crazy day indeed. I gotta ride, or buy bike stuff, or both to wind down.

Anything good on the list? OK, all bike stuff is good, so anything exciting on the list? OK, that doesn't really work either... but you know what I'm getting at.

Holy crap thats right you're expecting it totally slipped my mind!!!

I'm taking the parts of Aubrey's bike and putting them on her new frame. All her stuff came off my 2000 Trek 8000 so it's all a pretty good match. I think I still may need a fork though and at some point soon I would like to get disc brakes for it too.

Morning - sun is shining but still f'in cold out this morning.

Had a good night last night with my sons - took em out to dinner and helped them with homework and then skated with Liam's Mite B travel team.

Might be building up the Hollowpoint this evening if all goes well.

Got home last night and my home theater contractor came by with a photographer and spent an hour taking pics of my living room...

After they left Miz N8 and I watched a documentry on the Cockettes (a late 60's SanFran experiemental theater troupe) on the Sundance Channel...

Mornin' Stosh.

Not too much here, it's 8:20am CST. Bout to take off for work.

I'm sore as all hell. I did a 2 1/2 hour gym session for back & biceps last night, and am feeling it BIG TIME this morning. Ouch. I can hardly straighten my arms, and bend or "shrug" my back. :)

No pain no gain I guess!

The good news is, I got my headunit for my car ordered. W00t W00t. Finally! I've been wanting one for over a year!

Don't know.... it was like $50's or something I think.

Hey I'm sure it's worth for the $200 because it sounds like you'll be traveling a bit this year.

My Monday:

-Woke up early to get an early start at work
-After 9 hrs at work, I went to a coffee shop to study for a little over 2 hours
-Went home and did a brick: ~30 min/9 miles on the rollers followed by a quick 2 mile run, and later completed with ab work right before bed
-At dinner and went to sleep late becuase I hate falling asleep on a full stomach

Today should be about the same. Late.

Got me an Alpine CDA-9830. It was originally $329.99, but I picked it up for $249.99. I was pretty happy with that price.

I'll be installing it soon, and then figuring out what aftermarket speakers I want for my TBird.

Not bad! I have a Pioneer I've had for years! I need new rear speakers. My GF listens to her music to loudly in my car and blew the one speaker in the rear. It's f'ing annoying!!!
