Morning .

Nice day Here , Had a Great Ride in today . although wehn I went out to get the bike to ride it , the rear tire felt a little low on air , so I added some air and When I didconnected the punp I could here air hissing out of teh rear tire. That is when it is so nice to have a 2nd set of wheels to just grab the other one put it on and away I went . I fix that one when I get home.

I don't know why ( Yes I do It was the pot hole I hit ) I knew I was going to have a Flat tire this morning.

Out of my mind, back in a moment.
I wish it were Thursday...

Morning monkeys. It's hot, humid and sunny here at the moment. It doesn't look like the weather will hold out today for a ride though, so I'm not holding my breath.

I spent last night going over my bike and cleaning it up before Vermont. Man, amazing the amount of crap that came out of my front hub and the amount of grit that came out of my derailleur housings.

Not much planned for today. I just finished vacuuming and mopping my floors, and now I'm on to breakfast.

Edit: Seems my QOTD was moved to politics? I'm guessing d/t it being a Vice President question?

After finding out the actions of a good friend on Friday and how they specifically went against what I said, the weekend was pretty sh!tty overall.

Other than that I got to golf the past 3 days. Saturday shot a 4 over par 76 at Stow Acres North. Sunday shot a 4 over par 76 at the Jungle course at Green Meadows. Yesterday played in the S.A.M.E tournament at Sandy Burr. Our team only shot something like a 3 or 4 under par. Didn't mind at all because I got paid to take the day off and play in a golf tournament.

Went ahead and purchased a new set of golf clubs. That will give me something to toy with.

Bike ride tonight.

Morning. Trying to get all my work done so I can go on vacation and leave it all behind.

I have a pair of hawks near my window. Lately, they've been my 5 a.m. alarm clock (reason #2 why I can't wait for vacation!)

I was hoping he could make the rain go away, but I don't think he has that much pull.

Morning all! It is suddenly sunny here, though I don't believe it will last. As I sit here I am counting down the days to Saturday when Jiminy Peak opens the big lift to the top...got my season's pass already. I am a patient boy, as Ian Mckaye once said.

Morning. Spent a quiet evening at home last night. Got the kids to bed early and watched OLN's Tour de France preview show that I had TiVo'd. Ended up going to bed around 9:45. It was exactly what the doctor ordered after a busy weekend. Tonight I've got a 20 +/- road ride planned if the weather is decent.

Have a good day all! :)

I have been drooling over Jiminy all year. Very few mountains excite me like that one does.

I just wish the big lift was open 7 days a week as I live 30 miles away and work even closer...how sweet would it be to pop out of work and do full dh runs until dusk?

Word! Hopefully I'll get down there at some point. We should plan a weekend to get a crew there!

Morning. Terrible weather down here. Supposed to rain all week and i'll be leaving for New York Thursday morning so i can't get one more ride in before the trip. *sigh* I wish I could bring my bike to the big NY.

Yo monkies!!

Another squishy day here in central NC. Just hung out and did a few things around the house after work. Went over to the neighbors house and picked a few zucchini squash out of his garden while they're away at the beach for the week and combined them with some summer squash, red onion, asparagus and red bell pepper that we've grown and sauteed them up along side some fantastic steaks I grilled for a fantastic dinner.

Oh yeah......our amaryllis plants are blooming too.

Trials and tribulations of a quarter close at Big Brother. There is nothing more annoying than people who make way more than I do acting like kindergartners and won't play nice with each other. And that leads me to do stupid work for no apparent reason. I need a punching bag...SS where are you when I need to hit something?

Come on out, man. You can try to catch me and then pummel me at the top of one of our local climb-o-death trails. :thumb:
