Mornin stosh, all.

Looks like the weather is finally starting to break, so I'll be riding today at lunch. Granted, I'll be in long sleeves and tights as it's still pretty cool, but at least it will be dry!

'Morning. Looks like some summer heat is finally heading our way. It's supposed to be sunny and pushing 90 later this week. HOORAY!

This morning I booked a conference in October at Disney World. This job is rough sometimes.

Got a wake to attend tonight...a coworker's father passed away.

Morning all!

I am busy today too. On a fun note our school baseball team mercy'd the other team last night in the first round of playoffs. 10 to 0 The team won states last year, and the pitcher who graduated last year pitched the first no-hitter in state history. his last pitch was a fastball clocked at 88mph. It was awesome! I hope they can do it again this year.

Manhattan and I got a ton of work done last night cutting trails! we found some awesome spots for log rides and stuff. These trails we are building are going to be like nothing else in the area. I am getting more stoked the more we do!

Had to postpone tonights ride to ensure that someone is home for my sister.

My left eye has been twitching for about a week now and it is getting rather annoying.

The damned bike shop has turned a simple facing/reaming/headset press job into a major project. I am going to place the order for a few parts for it tonight, as I am building in stages.

As to last night, I went out with a few lady friends for dessert and socializing. Sadly nothing worthy of sharing occured.

Out of my mind, back in a moment.
Morning folks.

Not much going on. I bought a BB for my roadie last night, so that should be here in a couple days and I can finally get the new cranks on it. I still have to break open my crossmaxes and clean up the internals (they are just about due). Not a whole lot else going on. The sun is out here and it's finally above 45 degrees, so I'm happy.

Good morning! Busy night for me last night (see my multitasking thread that went curiously downhill into the realm of porn), but I managed to get to bed early and got some much needed rest! Tonight more of the same...3 private lessons, working out, spinning, cleaning up the kitchen and feeding the little monster :D

Sq-Earl is riding home from work tonight so I will probably end up riding alone. Guess I better find some time to get some tunes put on my MP3 player (an excellent mother's day gift from my hubby :love: )

That is all (for now).

Mornin'. Got the Fox Float mounted up and went for a quick shake down ride last night. We'll see if I like it over the 5th coil.

Fortunately for me work stops at closing time.

I got one for my wife for mother's day too. She seems to like it, though she doesn't get as much use out of it as you do.

Going to get a bike fit for my roadie later today. Really stoked on this, I'm going to get measured with lasers and other immutable diagnostic tools.

Yeah, I have only taken it out of the package and read the directions thus far. I do have a folder of songs started to upload though. I can even plug it into my CD player and upload the songs directly too :thumb:

Morning all! I'm here at home today and happy to report that I survived the 'ol <snip, snip> yesterday. Not something I'd want to go throughon a regular basis, but overall not to painful. I've got my bag of frozen peas and my codine so I should be set for the day. Plan on watching King Kong at some point.

Have a good one! :)

I'll be back at work on Thurs., but the doc said I should wait at least a week before I attempt to go running, riding, etc.. I have a 5k planned for June 3rd, so that's what I'm shooting for right now. This might be TMI, but the pain is really minimal, it's the swelling that is disturbing. :dead:

Hey Stosh...I still got some good beer if you need one...As for me, just doing my usual slave to the man. I love dealing with people, they can be so entertaining.

I got a short ride in last night (a little chilly) but the freshly tuned up ride was a champ. So much smoother. I may get another short ride in tonight, but remains to be seen.

OMG my fiancee' plays in a womens adult softball league. I usually go to the games but due to work I had to miss last nights game. Apparently the other team didn't bring enough players so they used some of their grandma's in the field. Then Aubrey's team said they weren't on the roster and told the umps they had to forfit. I guess at that point all hell broke loose and the opposing team started throw bats and stuff at them.
Man I'm ticked off I missed that game.

Yeah some of my buddies are thinking of joining a league and are trying to wrangle me into doing it. Hopefully its just a bunch of old men we can destroy, but I have a feeling some of these guys are going to be really good.
