Good F'in Tuesday Morning - albeit a little late - Monkeys!!

How is everyone? It is still f'in snowing out here in Farmington and we got dumped on pretty good overnight. It isn't that cold out though - so that's a plus.

What did everyone do last night? I actually got out and did a little road loop on the IH and then another shorter loop on the Single Speed before the snow started falling really hard last night.

Then I must confess to watching a little bit of the Bachelorette and a lot of Summerland last night. :o: Remember the actress that played John Stamos' wife on that show with the Olsen Twins?? Well she's in Summerland and she's lookin better than ever. I woke up this morning and I still can't believe I actually watched the show.

What was everyone else up to last night? And what do you have going on today?

Its early and I was at work until 10pm last night. These unpaid side projects are killing me! It will be a sweet course map for a XC race though. The print deadline is in 3.5 hours, I gotta wrap it up!

I don't know how good this morning is I have to give a speech in speech class and go do some dumb computer work this afternoon. My nervousness is already building because I have a date on Thursday.

I just got back from Vegas last night...one of the chicks that went snored like I have never heard someone snore before...I never thought such snoring could exist...I was awake nearly the whole weekend...even though we'd be out till 5 or 6 in the am...it woulda been nice to sleep for a couple of hours upon our return back to the hotel. No dice...I feel like a friggin zombie...but hey, I had a GREAT time! :thumb:

Dancin' over rocks n' roots!
F'n Mornin'. I too don't have cable, and I didn't watch any TV last night (after the news). Taught a couple of lessons, had my f'n dental cleaning and worked on my f'n Elementary report cards and f'n Middle School interim reports. Then, I made tastey dinner for the hubby and we split a bottle of wine.

No f'n school today 'cause of the snow...I hope this doesn't f'n cancel our long weekend for Memorial Day. Good part is, I can lounge around in my fleece sweatpants all day :D

damn I better start getting my ass on the trainer......crap....you guys are going to kill me at Dalton if I don't start getting my ass moving. ugh.

I sold my old Univega last week - so should I put the Marin SS on the trainer with some slicks on it, or should I throw the Jamis on it? The trainer is really old - got it in a trade with Splat (man did he ever make out on that trade - but it's all good) and I worry the old trainer will damage the Jamis.

that stunt rocked

1st you have to put your hand/arm in this container with snakes that bite to un bolt a key, then unlock this tub of worms to push them with your face into another container, pick the worms up from that container with your mouth to fill a blender, then turn the blender on, then suck up the blended worms to fill another container, which then lets you reach a key to unlock your handcuffed hand, then you jump in a big garbage container of worms, find a submerged thermous of blended worms and then drink it.

'morning Mark. I appreciate you not using my "++", as I would have had to sue your pants off, mostly to get that beautiful Hollowpoint from you... Nothing personal, you understand.

Work sucks... Snow sucks... Meh. Can't wait for spring!

Morning Mark.



Went shuttling at 2:00 this morning. Made 2 runs, but decided that it was too slick to carry on.

Yes I know, it's not my usual shuttling spot, the other one is too step and too slick to even attempt right now.

Oh...and good afternoon! Off from work today and have been outside playing with my daughter in the snow for a couple hours. Hopefully that'll mean a serious nap (for both of us) in a couple hours! :thumb:

Too bad about the snow...Phoenix was perfect (around 74 degrees) Rode 16 miles of urban on the Stinky then hung out on the patio drinking Bacardi's with the neighbors. Nice.

ugh...I nearly touched a worm the other night...he was just inside the garage door and I was reaching down to flip up the door stop and nearly touched it...I screamed...I can't imagine doing all that with worms and not dying of a heart attack.
