'bout f'ing time you got here.

played ice hockey for the 1st time in over 5 years last night...the skating was a bit rusty, as was my ice awareness, but had fun...let a couple of slappers off from the wing, but the goalie negated both my top corner bids.

off to see the sox tonight. hopefully big papi will provide some entertainment in this faded season.

I also had to tell the guy who was goign to sell me his Titus that I just can't afford it right now. He's putting it on eBay next week. :(

Morining all, hope it won't be too cold tonight for a little ride.
Buffalo wings are never hot enough :(
But I'm told I have no taste buds due to how hot & spicy I like food to be

mornin' folks.

Had my date with the prosecuting attorney in my "dog at large" case. 1 year probation and a $500 fine. Seriously. Probation? WTF is that for? There were guys in the court room with drug paraphernalia, shoplifting and assault charges that got off easier than I. I think it's ridicules...

Watchin' you. Writing it all down.
No, she'll be too busy repainting the side of the house.
Sounds like someone needs a smack upside the head. They get slack with a lack of discipline.

I honestly think I have a billion projects going on right now and getting nowhere with any of them. I think all but one of them is sitting in the awaiting on reply basket. It worries me because I know that all of them are going to get into the I need this yesterday basket all at the sametime any day now.

Maybe MMike will get bit by something on his birthday.....

MMcG, good luck w/ yr interview. where is it in Boston? if you got the job, i take it you'd relocate? tough commute, otherwise.
Job is here in Hartford, firm running the search is in Boston on Boylston Street, so no relocating or mega commuting would be necessary.

Good Morning!

I was hoping to get a ride in yesterday, but work kept me hanging around too long. It's just as well, though......I still had a massive layer of adobe on my bike from our rain-invaded ride in Pisgah on Sat. Spent the rest of the afternoon getting everything back in shape, tightened up and re-lubed.

Got called back into work around 7:30 to fix some issues and it was a damn good thing, too.......turns out I had left my keys to everything here at work on my desk. I was going to need those this morning to open the gates and get everything started for the day. I would have gone crazy trying to find them at 5:30 a.m. :banghead:

Today looks to be beautiful---and I would love to pedal a bit, but it looks like I may be visiting the cell phone department as mine has decided after 5 years to finally give up the ghost. 5 years......that's some Zach Morris-Saved-by-the-Bell-bag-phone-technology right there.....I could probably use an upgrade, huh?

That really sucks a fat johnson man. It's a good thing that you don't live here in Colorado, specifically Denver. It's like a 2000 dollar fine if they even give you one, usually they'll just put your dog down. 2 strikes is all they get and it's lights out. Pile of B.S. if you ask me. It's never the dogs fault, but because they have a harder time fighting our system they always get blamed. Probation is definately ridiculous, is it for you or the dog?

Morning. Stosh and divi, you will be missed tonight. Damn, the sun for going down so early. I went on a road ride last night and had to return home at 6:50. WTF!?? I've been working on some climbing on the road. I have some large, long hills near me, so it's been a challenge.

Can't wait to ride this weekend!

Busy busy busy with school projects, homework, extra help, the whole lot. Not much new going on here. Played golf Sunday with my brother. Winds were gusting something fierce and we played under black clouds the whole time. I suppose I didn't do too poorly for not having played in 2 months. Shot somewhere in the low 80s, but my accomplishments for the day included blasting a few 300+ yard drives.

Good luck brother.

Today is my last day at the bike shop. I already started my new job last week which is part of the reason I can't make it to monkeyfest. Pretty cool job and I don't have to travel as much as I did last year. Its cool you are staying in Hartford.

Dancin' over rocks n' roots!
Good morning all! Back in the swing of things here at my Elementary school. Lots of kids coming in and out excited to learn their instrument. It's always interesting to meet the new kids and see how they react to their choice of instruments.

Last night I worked my core body strength and did a short spin. Tonight I plan more of the same. I am anxiously awaiting some R&R this weekend in VT too :cheers:
