~~Good Tuesday Morning!!!~~
- Thread starter stosh
- Start date
Morning - I spent last night having dinner with my sons, helping them with their homework and helping them with their reading. Did the Valentines Day type stuff with my girlfriend on Saturday (cooked her a surf and turf dinner) and Sunday (she treated for pizza).

Yeah, I went to bed at 8:30.stosh said:
Mornin'. Quiet night last night...for the most part. My daughter was being a real $%&#$ and bit my wife on the neck. :angry: Needless to say, the kid went to bed early.
The wife has been sick, so she took some Nyquil and slipped off into dreamland around 8pm. So much for any Valentines night "activities".
I ended up popping in NWD IV, and having a few beers.

Hey sometimes the quite time is nice. What kind of beer did you have?
Yeah, left a nasty mark on her neck! Kelley's coworkers are going to think we actually DID have a good time last night.stosh said:
Last night it was Magic Hat - Fat Angel. It was ok, I wasn't impressed.
Do you usually drink Magic Hat? I've never heard good things about it so I've never tried it.McGRP01 said:Yeah, left a nasty mark on her neck! Kelley's coworkers are going to think we actually DID have a good time last night.

Kids these days...McGRP01 said:
Not usually. I like their Heart of Darkness and Blind Faith. The Fat Angel and the #9 are just too sweet for my taste.stosh said:
G'mornin...It's Tuesday - I don't generally like Tuesdays. But hey! I get to go bike riding tonight . My bike didn't want to fit inside the car this morning...took me like 5 minutes to get it lined up properly with the trunk so everything fit nicely inside.

mornin. I went to a comedy club last night, then came home and ordered a new camera. Now i'm off to a meeting, then classes, then work.
mmm port noir.
Pie and I celebrated V-Day on Sunday so I could have last night and tonight to go over last minute stuff with my bikes, pack them and generally prepare for my trip to Phoenix. I can't wait until tomorrow.
The frame box I got for my Enduro is entirely too small to fit the frame in without disassembling it completely. I got a crash course last night in spacer placements and bolt torque while I was disassembling the bike. I ran out of foam tubing too, so a stop by the shop today and I can finish it off tonight.
Was also pleased to see that my new trials bashguard fit perfectly on an old set of 952 cranks that I've been using for years. I thought I was going to have to grind some material. I spent about half an hour hand tapping the bolt holes though as I screwed up the drawing when I sent it out for manufacture. Other than that minor detail, it was perfect, and I can now ride my trials bike again without fear of crushing my chain and that beautiful Boone chainring.
Is anyone else taking off for a while this winter to get out of the East Coast blah?

I'm headed to Jamaica in April. And, after living in the N.E. for 33 years, I can assure you it will still be "blah" in April.Buck Fever said:

Good f'n morning. I kicked Julie's tail on the tennis courts last night. 
Not much really. I just need to remember where everything goes and to be careful when replacing the pivots so I don't overtorque the bearings. My crash course was pretty simple...it went like this.stosh said:
remove pivot bolt
pull link assembly away from shock
watch as spacers fall to, and then scatter on the ground
find, inspect and reassemble spacers to ensure all parts are present
*repeat with each link on the rear end.
pinot noir w/ italian food? odd choice.
i ditched my spin class and went into boston to meet w/ a couple guys from my group who are still working in dublin but were back for a business trip. hey, expense account meals are always fun, right? problem is, no one bothered to get a reservation on arguably the busiest night of the year for restaurants. after the hotel concierge called a half-dozen places, we got a table at 8:30. so i could have done my spin class instead of having two ketel one martinis while we killed time.
anyway, the food was excellent (we went to Masa ) and the hot asian lesbian action at the corner of the bar was good entertainment too (the restaurant is in the South End, home of the rainbow flags in boston). i had some roasted beet and field green salad w/ farmers cheese and an orange-chipotle dressing, main course was roasted halibut w/ a scallop and chile salsa, and dessert was a chocolate tamale in a corn husk.
unfortunately i might have pissed off the wife by ditching v-day w/ her.
esp because i'm out of town for the next couple of nights. oh well.

I'm so lucky. I don"t have to buy chocolates and flowers, 'cause my GF is an ex-GF from now on. On teh other hand it feels quite $h!t.
I hate mondays AND tuesdays.

'Morn...
BBQ Steak last night, made our two boys open "gifts" (my wife always get's them little things, on any/every "occation"). Just after 6pm, all 4 of us sit together to start eating (not too often BTW).
2 minutes into it, the older one get's a call on his cell, then the younger one say's "I'm not very hungry right now". 15 seconds later after the older one get's of the phone he says; "I'm not really hungry", Both carry their plates to the sink, and the older one's off to hang w/ friends, the younger one's in his room with the music blasting. 10 minutes after the start, wife and I look at each other and say;
"Happy Valentine's Day"
:heart:

Morning (almost afternoon). V-day was as uneventful as usual (we dont' do V-day). We got snow so I shoveled and the man cleaned up the driveway. Packed our clothes and the rest of our gear for AZ...only 2 more days til we're there
Someone pulled the f'n fire alarm at school this morning so we were outside in the f'n chilly air for a while...atleast it wasn't raining or freezing cold.
