Mornin'

Another killer weather day here in central NC for January. A little bit cooler than Binary's end of the state, but still in the low 60's. Not bad, but I'm sure we're gonna pay dearly for it in the form of a February ice storm that wrecks every trail in sight for weeks. Boy....how's that for some optimistic thinking? :p

Got off work yesterday and hot-footed it out to the local spot for a 45-minute dirt moving session before darkness started to rear it ugly head. We added four new alternate lines to some existing trail on Sunday, and these are some of the sweetest ones yet. It's part pump-track, part stunts, part dirtjumps all on the same line with different options branching off and converging in different areas. It's all I can think about whenever my mind starts wandering here at work.

Morning! Left work early yesterday to enjoy the beautiful weather down here. Can't wait till Friday, as I'll probably do the same! I tell you, the weather alone makes the move down here worthwhile. It's great not to be depressed about month after month of disgusting gray skies, snow, sleet, rain, cold... Anyway, bored at work so far, but hopefully things pick up. Enjoy! :)

Don't count on this weather being the norm throughout the rest of the winter. Having lived in Greenville for many years, I can honestly tell you that it isn't without its share of colder moments. Although you guys will stay significantly warmer than many areas of the state, this is pretty unusual for it to be this warm this deep into winter. Although.....given where you guys originated from, I can imagine anything is better than NH in winter. :p

P.S. tell your boyfriend that it won't kill him to dust that bike off and join us for a weekend ride sometime. We're not very far away at all.......:love:

Morning monkeys. Spent part of this morning helping a co-worker try to use a device that records directly from the phone, but, in the end, there was an extra jack that didn't seem to fit anywhere. Why is it that Radio Shack can never give you quite what you need? I had the same thing happen with the converter they sold me for a trip to France. I got to Paris only to discover that the converter only worked in Russia. Bastards.

Narlus, I listened to the first 5 or so songs on your spin mix this morning. Good stuff. It takes me a while to get into the more techno/electronic stuff, but I recognized the Streets and I really liked that one in particular.

Certainly no more so than it would kill you to join us for a beer or three - and, of course, I'm sure you can enlighten us to some new watering holes - we're not very far away at all......:heart:

:D

Upper 40's makes for soft snow? :think:

I thought *this* was soft snow:

'Morning! I got a sweet Redbones t-shirt and CD's from narlus yesterday. I'll be very disappointed if he didn't include some Good Charlotte and Limp Bizkit on those CD's.

My old job officially gets posted internally today. It's going to be weird interviewing people to replace me.

Yup...I will take anything over NH winter. Even if it does get cold, it doesn't get as cold, and it doesn't stay that way for months. Also, the sun sets later down here (about 1 hr) which makes a big difference for me to. I don't come home in the dark at night, which is great. :D

How far away are you from Greenville? I am up for a road trip...we haven't done much exciting lately. Any good restaurants/bars near you?

I'll bet it's not as weird as having your position eliminated at 8:40 on Friday and filled by 9:00 on Friday. :mumble:

Point well taken........I'm looking for any excuse to visit Greenville. The wife is dying to take a tour as well--she's heard so many stupid stories from my time there. I'm going to make it a personal mission to carve out a weekend in the next month to get down there for a BV meet-and-greet!! :p

Ha!! ....Hitting on me? Remember folks, I'm just Joe Redneck.....unless she's blowing smoke from a Marlboro Light in my face and wearing stirrup pants and jelly shoes with a Tweety Bird T-shirt, I wouldn't get the message. :p


....Stirrup pants and jelly-shoes.....I kill me! :blah:

Dancin' over rocks n' roots!
Good morning! Pretty quiet day again here at school as the kids are all doing the NYS ELA testing. I had an amusing ride in this AM. The truck in front of me nearly hit a crazed cow...he was foaming at the mouth and running around crazy. He pulls over and jumps out of his truck and goes running up to the house to see if anyone is home. Meanwhile the cow is trotting between my car and the others on the road. Some dumb lady behind me starts trying to go around me and beeping her horn which of course agitates the cow more and he heads her way. Quite fun...sat there for a few minutes until I could get going again and was quite amused by the whole scene. You have to love living in the country.

Anyway, tonight is our local bike club meeting and I have lessons so I am not sure if I will be making it or not. Other than that, not too much else planned. Packed the baby's hospital bag last night and will put mine together tonight.

Morning! Another day with not much to report. Today is my Friday though, so that's a plus. I miss riding my bike. Things have been crazy lately getting ready for the baby, 99% of my friends are fair-weather riders and I'm not a big fan of riding alone. :( It sucks. Maybe I can get out for a road ride on one of my days off. :think:

Have a good day y'all! :)

Baby countdown: 1 week! :love:
