Heart rate is weird, it can change about 10% day to day depending on things like hydration, caffienation, rest and atmospheric pressure. There are days I can't get mine past 85% and other days I can't keep it below 95%. That is why many people swear by power training. But that requires more expensive equipment.

I'm getting pumped up for Old Pueblo, started organizing my stuff. I'll be getting in some good riding this weekend.

Hey kids! I feel very well rested after taking the day off yesterday and doing nothing but watch movies. I watched Kill Bill 2 and The Butterfly Effect.

Should be a good weekend.

Tonight: Hockey game 9:00 (looking to improve to league best 7-2).
Tomorrow: Gym, then heading to Foxwoods casino at night for dinner and fun.
Sunday: Taking the wife out for Valentine's dinner, then I have a 10:00 hockey game.

Good morning....something about wearing a suit, makeup and jewellry makes a girl feel...well unhealthy and old. Blech...I have a class to teach this afternoon, so have been prepping all my handout materials this morning. The nice thing is, I get to cut my day short by about 30 minutes...though I may swing back by the office to drop off my projector.

The weekend, if the weather holds (praying the weathermen are wrong about tomorrow), I'll go rock climbing at Little Si wiht my sweetie, and Sunday spend the day with my parents helping them empty the attic. Tonight is my night to treat Steve to a good meal and drinks ...since Vday is a workday for me, I figured I'd surprise him with:
Roast (beef) & all the trimmings
followed by an evening snack of strawberries, cheeses, dark chocolate, and champagne.

Rearranged my apt last night too, to make room for Gravey's new kitty tower. :D :thumb: Steve built it for her, cuz the old one is falling apart. What I don't get is...there were four big strong guys standing around last night, while I dragged/carried her old 8' tower out of the apt. One of them offered to help when I was about 10' from the garbage (they'd watched me take it down stairs, and across the parking lot by this point). :confused:

Hello - not such a happy Friday for me.

Good in a sense that I've requested a May 17th court date for my divorce, but bad knowing what I have to pay in child support because of the State of CT forumla for that matter.

I'm going to have to live in that EMS tent I took so damned long to decide on buying last summer. :dead:

I don't know much about VGS...I'm pretty sure I saw them once at another show...are they like the reverend?

Yeah well apparently Chris toured with them years ago for something. I don't remember all teh details. I've had the tix for 6 months......




























Actually that is all a total lie.... if Chris Cornel was going to be there I probably don't go.
Thats funny that you admitted to having seen them after you made fun of me.

I was just kidding, get your head out of your ass...I said I THOUGHT I may have seen them open for someone...I never voluntarily purchased tickets to see them...I have no idea what their music is like...I just thought it was funny that everyone was rippin on you for going to see them...and I asked if they were like the Reverend Horton Heat...I'm trying to think of who they opened for...and if I recall, I thought I liked them...Jesus chryst you are such a f'n bitch sometimes...

Not sure why they would have opened for Reverend.... but it's possible. Ska bands usually live in packs.....

From the bands website --

Formed in 1988, Voodoo Glow Skulls meshed hardcore punk, traditional ska, tough guitar riffs and the Mexican music of their roots to create the prototype for the West Coast ska-core sound, influencing a wide range of bands from Sublime to No Doubt. Unflinchingly honest, their songs often used humor to comment on harsh political realities – from racial inequity to unrest overseas. Singing in both Spanish and English, Voodoo Glow Skulls’ bilingual musical tradition has been a hallmark of the band since they began.
