Morning! Looking forward to the ride later with Splat, Stosh and Rob. I'm a little tired today, but should be fun.

Wasn't on the Monkey yesterday because there was a trip to Six Flags (which equaled a free day off for me). Rob and I headed out, following the directions provided by Six Flags' website. They said to take I90 North to a certain exit. We left at 11, drove for awhile and then got stuck in this massive backup. Turns out it was 22 miles worth of kids going to the f*ing Warped tour in Northhampton. There were cars full of pierced puck-ass skate boarders blasting their crappy music as we sat on the road. Several got arrested and some were running on the highway.

After 3.5 hours and 22 miles, we finally get past the exit where the backup was and keep driving, looking for the exit number. The next thing we know, we see a moosecrossing sign followed by "Welcome to VT." It's now 5:00. We rip up the directions, start yelling in the Vermont Welcome Station's parking lot and drive south. We get to Six Flags in Springfield, see that there was a $10 parking charge and decide, screw it, we're just going home. So, we take I90 home. CT's I90, not NY's. Thanks for clearing that one up, Six Flags. The road only runs through about 5 states!!! :mumble:

Good Morning Stosh! :D

Well it's the end of vacation and back to work for me...lots of things to catch up on.

Things I missed while on vacation: 0
Things I didn't miss while on vacation: alarm clock, rush hour traffic, and piles of paperwork on my desk

Have a good day everyone! :)

I don't go to amusement parts. To much money and to many people.
There is a small one I go to in central PA that cheap and there is usually very few people there.

Yeah I hated coming back to work after vacation. I know there has got to be a better way to live my life than at this desk after driving 45min on the highway.

I'm beginning to feel the same way. And the $10 parking fee was the final straw.
yeah and you got your tix for free.
I hate paying 7$ for a soda.

I could have given you directions, it's only an hour from my house. Too bad you didn't have my cell, we all could have gone for a ride...

At least I don't have any sickening title that you twisted monkeys may have come up with.

There will be a picture forthcoming of the spoon thing...
well maybe if I told everybody what I found out this weekend about you....

I found out that Bluebug didn't just teach rob to mountain bike, she taught him to ride a bike. Training wheels and all. No wonder you didn't ride the stunts at treesaw's house, your training wheels would have hung over the edge.

Either way, glad to see you're pedaling. Hope to ride with you soon. Might have to meet somewhere in the middle one of these weekends.

I sometimes think I could still use some training wheels! ;)

There were no training wheels involved.

If you saw the area I lived in NJ, you'd be terrified to ride there.

I second that! Hopefully no utensils will be used pre-ride. Funny, all this time, I just thought all the dirty spoons in the sink were from eating Ben and Jerrys
;)
