How is everybody today?

Busy f'ing week for me! I'll be interviewing some of I.T. people today and tomorrow to see who will work. Should be interesting.

Have a great day!

Hey, does anyone buy small bottles of Pepsi products? 1 in every 3 caps wins a free iTunes song download. The women here at work buy Pepsi products in the cafeteria and keep giving me their winning caps. I've got three winners sitting here on my desk. w00t!!!

Or you could ditch work at 4, run home and get your mtn bike, then meet us at Case Mtn at 6 for the Tuesday night shop ride... :sneaky:

Something smells of cheap woman's perfume and I can't figure out what it is.

This is such a good idea that i think i'll do it as well.
Perhaps I'll swing by the beach and see what's going on there.

My GF's bike is missing a front rotor and I can't get the front der. tuned properly. My bike is short a rear der. cable and rear brake cable, my other bike is supposed to be on the fed ex truck on it's way to my house today.

Maybe I'll go for a walk tonight... :)

Morning - I'll be picking my sons up after school tonight so looks like no ride for me unless I ride with them at my apartment - we shall see.

Who watched the NCAA title game last night? I watched it off and on. Wasn't really into it this year.

I only watch if UConn is in it or I have a chance to win money. Since neither was the case last night, I was not interested.

G'morning - my lazy office has yet to figure out how to reset the clocks on things like the heat, coffee maker (takes 40 minutes to warm up enough for a good cup of joe), or the phones. The Admin Assistant called in dead yesterday, lol, and she's the only one with access to those areas besides the boss and his wife - who chose to not bother resetting stuff because the office is warm by the time They come in at 9am.

Brrrrrr - it's currently 66 degrees, I'm hoping my office warms up quickly!

when did you trash your rear derailuer ? and are you wainting for a part ? or your mechanic to install it ?
My rear derailleur is bent and skips like hell. I took my bike to the shop about a month ago and had $150 worth of work done, but they said the derailleur was bent and the bike still might skip. I took it out for a road ride last week and sure enough it was skipping a lot. If it skips like that on the ROAD, I can only imagine what it'll do on the trails.

I need to order a new derailleur. I meant to over the weekend but forgot. Since I've already spent $150 at the shop, I want to try to fix this myself.

Sweet! Can I work from Portland?

Moving out there in May after the wedding. It's a lot to plan a move and a wedding concurrently, but I can't wait for the change of pace.

I had a phone interview on Friday with THE high end bicycle component manufacturer in Portland. It went extraordinarily well except for the fact that they pay about 1/3 of what I have made in the last 12 months. My fiancee wants me to go for it and not to sweat the money. It's great to have that kind of support even if it's not rooted in the strongest financial logic.

Hey everybody.

I'm just chillin at my house because we have a 2hour delay yet again! :p The weather here is so weird, yesterday it was in the 70s and definitely riding weather and today its probably 20/30s and snowing. Oh well, its time that I don't have to spend in school. Supposedly its gonna be in the 60s the rest of the week so I'm looking forward to planning some xc rides. Oh, and I got a pinkbike hoodie yesterday. :D :p
