You realise you've limited the amount of bikes you can have? :)

Nice! Why does the IH look so short?

There isn't enough beer in the Northeast to get me to do wallpapering.

Na - I made them in a hurry last night. I didn't expect them to work as well as they did (I just kind of threw them together... didn't really give it much thought). When I have some more time I'm going to redo them, probably with 4 "stalls" and some upgrades.

Woah!

Well 'ole south side of Chicago
Is the baddest part of town
And if you go down there
You better just beware
Of a man name of Leroy Brown

Now Leroy more than trouble
You see he stand about six foot four
All those downtown ladies call him "Treetop Lover"
All the mens just call him "Sir"

And he's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than a-old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

Now Leroy he a gambler
And he like his fancy clothes
And he like to wear his diamond rings
In front of everybody's nose

He got a custom Continental
He got a Eldorado too
He got a .32 gun in his pocket for fun
He got a razor in his shoe

And he's bad (bad) bad (bad) Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than a-old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

Well Friday 'bout a week ago
Leroy shootin' dice
And at the edge of the bar
Sat a girl named Doris
And oo that girl looked nice

Well he cast his eyes upon her
And the trouble soon began
And Leroy Brown had learned a lesson 'bout a-messin'
With the wife of a jealous man

And he's bad (bad) bad (bad) Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than a-old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

Well the two men took to fighting
And when they pulled them from the floor
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle
With a couple of pieces gone

And it's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than a-old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

And he's bad (bad) bad (bad) Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than a-old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

Yeah he was badder than a-old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog.

Just thought i'd bring a little Jim Croce to the thread this morning. :monkey:

Word.

I worked late last night and missed my workout. Dammit. I may play volleyball tonight, depending on whether or not MBC's team needs a player.
hey... I was looking into signing up at the local YMCA or something similar, how do you find the time to work out?

I don't find time, I make time. I used to get up early in the morning (4:30) to work out simply because gyms are way too packed after work. But my new gym is pretty quiet after work, so I now work out then (6:00 PM-ish). The hard part is planning meals so we're not eating dinner at 9:00.

24 hours in a day - 10(work) - 6(sleep) -1(eat) -1(shower/dress)= 6 hours to work out

Right.......... you probably don't eat before you work out either right? There are 2 places that look promissing and not "meat head" gyms.

Ah, it may be that easy for you single guys... but for some of us it's more like

10 hours (work) + 7 hours (sleep) + 7 hours (doing what S.O. tells us to do) = 24 hours

I have dinner after the workout. Working out on a full stomach is a bad idea because your body is expending energy trying to digest your meal instead of fueling your workout.

Or you could go and locate your balls, re-attach them, tell your S.O. that you'd like at least two of those seven hours back, and go workout ;) :D

THis was my idea however it would include my S.O. being there with me.

No time for that - see above forumla.
Sheesh, when you consider sleep to be of higher priority than locating and re-attaching your sack, maybe it's better that you don't have 'em... ;)

Morning - had a soccer awards dinner last night - it was chaotic - first I had sit through the young kids session for Connor and that was okay but really noisy. Then at 6:30 it was our turn. All my kids showed up for the awards dinner and they got really cool certificates and trophies. I got a autographed soccer ball from all of them as a thank you present - I thought that was super cool. I need to find something to put the ball on - you know like a stand or something. :)

Hmmmm, I never thought about it realy. I was pretty much born and raised here, so I guess that would be the answer.

We have a good trail system though. Some skilled builders that are realy starting to build some nice stunts/trails. Other then the terribly cold and long off season, I have no reason to leave.

We get 20C to mid 30C in the summer. Usually for a few weeks. And it is usually dry, so lots of ride time. Being way up north, the sun does not set untill 11:00pm or later in the summer. I've been on rides till 11:30pm without lights on the bikes.
