How the F' is everybody today?

It's a cold and gloomy F'ing day here in NY.
I'm running out to get a building permit for one of our jobs shortly so I won't be in the office right away this AM.

Anyway here are a few pics from my weekend hike. :)





You can see the scrub pines in the background. This area is well know for it's thick growth of scrub pines. There is a big movement underway to protect the "pine bush" in this location. It's a one of a kind ecosystem.

Good Morning!

Hope everyone is having a good week so far. I spent a large portion of the evening checking out lighting systems for night rides. I'll probably order something by the end of the week.

The reality-kick-in-the-plums moment of the day came around 9 pm last night when I was able to feel our baby kick for the first time. Holy cow!!! .......This is really happening, isn't it? :cheers: :banana:

Mornin Stosh.

Had an ok day yesterday... Sean was sick, so I was home with him. After the kids went to bed, I enjoyed a couple of beers, a nice fire, and Monday Night Football in my newly mostly finished basement. Actually, I enjoyed the beer and the fire, the game sucked (how the hell do the Cowboys expect to contend for the NFC east title with an offensive line like that???).

Not much on for today...

Morning all. Had a decent evening last night. Made a delicious dinner of pork chops, mashed potatoes and broccoli for my lovely wife and daughter and then watched Heros. Also of not is the fact that I've gone to bed at 10 (as opposed to 11) the past two nights and that extra one hour of sleep makes a hug difference for me!! Feeling pretty good this a.m.. :)

Good F'n morning!

Emma was being goofy last night and got upset when we told her to clean up her toys. She was crying her eyes out when all of the sudden she F'n barfed all over herself and the F'n couch! I spent the next half hour stripping the covers off of the couch and washing them while Bek gave Emma a bath!:bonk: I was lucky I hadn't eaten yet, or I may have barfed myself.... It stunk soooo F'n bad, I found out later that the last thing she at ate at my inlaws was an egg and cheese omlet! :disgust:

Other than that, hung out at the shop after work for a bit and ordered a replacement rim from last weeks wreck, and also ordered another little goody :brows: that I will be able to elaborate on later!!!

have a good F'n day!

First day of B term. Here we go again.

Last terms grades = A in tennis, A in Kinematics, A on sufficiency, B in Matrices and Linear Algebra.

Not too bad I suppose.

Cowboys just suck. I just love watching them lose.

Is it just me or does Parcells look like he is slowly decomposing?
Not so slowly really...he reminds me of a dead fish on the bank of a river that the racoons havent found yet. Eyes all sunken in and dry, smells bad, mouth wide open....yeah...

Watchin' you. Writing it all down.

I just get the sense he doesn't give a chit anymore. There were times that the old Bill would have been yelling at someone but last night he would just look and then almost shrug and look back at the game.

The best was them showing Jerry Jones chewing on his nails on the sideline.

I don't much care for Tony K but he totally laid the whammy on Romo about them cheering until he throws his first interception and then his first pass was an interception. I rewound that watched it like 5 times.

Yep, in years past he would have been strangling people on the sidelines.
I would put money on this being Parcels last year.

Word has it Parcells got taken to the cleaners when his wife divorced him, which is why he took the cowboy gig. I have a suspicion that Jones told Parcells to put in Romo. Bill wouldnt do that, IMO.

Nashbar had them on 20% off 2 weeks ago. I know there are some coupons out there for Nashbar that can get you at least 10% off.
Wait a minute...who paid for the lights? ;)

The Arc is awesome though. We have the NiMH batteries. I've tried the NiteRider and it was bulky and awkward on my head. The light was also a little too white (or perhaps it was just the light's placement on my head), but it was difficult to see depth. I don't have as much of that problem with the Arc. I also liked the Lume I tried, but their model with a quick charger is on severe back order. A little more expensive than I ended up getting the Arc for too.

I was a bit surprised too. Parcels prefers old quarterbacks. But Bledsoe is just too easy of a target, they need to get him a rascal scooter or something to help him get around.
