How is everybody today?

Should be a slightly easier day today at work for me. Yesterday killed me, I hate when I get the shaft for poor planning on my boss's part.

It's supposed to get cold again for the rest of the week. I have tenative plans to head down to NYC to see The Gates this weekend.

 

[Buck Fever]

Hope today is better for you Stosh.

I'm super busy today...work, wedding stuff, plus I sold a pair of Grafton perches on eBay that I have to ship overseas and I discovered that my Fox 36 is busted so I boxed it up last night and need to ship it back today...then I have a few more small errands to run this evening. It's all excruciatingly exciting.

 

[binary visions]

'morning stosh.

Went to my girlfriend's parents' house last night and they fed me enormous strip steaks from a local butcher. Sooo good...

Found a place down in Greenville that we're probably going to sign a lease for. 1000+ sq. ft. apartment, two floors, two bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, patio, W/D, dishwasher, the whole 9 yards.. for.. $595/month - apartments are so cheap down there, it's unreal!

Yeah I've come to realise that during this time of year my life is the most boring..... Wake-up, work, go home, do nothing, go to bed......

wow, thats crazy!!

Why did you end up in greenville?

 

[McGRP01]

This is pretty much my routine these days as well.
Except I have a 3 y.o. to keep it interesting.

 

[I Are Baboon]

Yo!

Got a 7:00 dek-hockey game tonight that I am all excited about. Taking six years off has really helped ignite my passion for it again.

I had a good workout last night, then was asleep by 9:30.

 

[stosh]

I get out of work at 5:30 and don't usually get home till 6:30.... till we eat dinner it's after 7... and I live in a small apt. in the country..... not a whole hell of a lot to do with 10" of snow on the ground and it's 10 degrees out.

 

[Cooter Brown]

Good here. Went for an urban ride last nite while "American Lemming, I mean Idol" was on, got a flat, went home and changed the fork seal in my shiver, drank a couple beers and went to bed

work, well, got handed a project yesterday that some chick that quit was working on and boy is it all effed up. If anyone knows anything about Pro-Engineer and family tables, layers and supressed components you'll know my pain. If not, well, just say it's a big blazing boil on my achin ass

Sounds Like you need a set of Snow Shoes.

we got anothe 1/2 inch of snow last night, Just enough to make it so I had to Chop it off all the windows to drive.

But we only have about 4 inches of snow on the ground now , Not enough to Snow shoe , too much to ride. and the roads are wicked messy, so No good for road riding.

Same here, get out of work at 6pm, get home around 6:30. Eat, play with my daughter til 8pm and then I either end up on the treadmill for a 1/2 hour and then watching TV or just watching T.V.. It funny, my wife and I are ALWAYS outside during the summer. Running, biking, hiking, etc... We're just not cold weather people. Guess upstate NY wasn't the best place to settle down huh?

 

[Wumpus]

Went on a ride last night. Only lasted about 45 minutes. Don't know if it was the heat or allergies/sick but my heart rate felt like it wasn't coming down.

Had quite a thunder bumbler start at about 3:30 -- one and half inches of rain in 4 hours. Thought for sure we were going to end up with two kiddos in bed with us, but they both slept right through it.

Thats why we're reconsidering upstate NY.

 

[stosh]

I can't say that I've ever done it but I don't understand what is so fun about snow shoeing?

 

[Jr_Bullit]

Good morning

The icky weather really doesn't sound like fun, Stosh! We're lucky, but not lucky, out here. The weather is amazing right now (60s today), but that means no snow in the mountains for those who ski/board.

Oh well, I intend to fully enjoy the good fortune in weather and go riding tonight .

Went and saw the parental folks last night. They were both really cool about the accident this weekend, and totally supportive of me continuing both biking and climbing. You'd think, considering my status as the only girl in the family and at this point a bigger tom-boy than either brother, they'd want me to be more "normal", but they both feel the risks to me are about the same as a fatal accident on the highway...and my bumps and bruises and scars just add a little more character.

I don't really see how mtn climbing isn't normal, even for a girl?

Do you ever hike?

Snow shoeing is just hiking, in the snow. The snow shoes simply allow you to walk on top of the snow instead of sinking down into it.

 

[JSB]

Morning!

Sorry to hear about the weather.

I caught a ride after work for about an hour. I was pretty pumped because I beat my fastest time. Then I came home, and dinner was on the table. Ate dinner. Watched my wife and kids(the show) Then loaded the dish washer and cleaned up. Fed the dogs, fed the fish. Helped with getting the kids ready for bed, and read a few books to the kids. Then I played a little Project Gotham 2. Took a shower, watched the news, and went to bed. Then the storm rolled in. I guess Wumpus sent it up my way.

 

[Jr_Bullit]

I don't really see how mtn climbing isn't normal, even for a girl?

It's not "un-normal" but it is unusual for my family - none of whom participate in any sports really, or have strong desires to be outside. I was raised to be a stereo-typical suburban girl who played little league and did high school sports and that's it...lol...little did they know

I think in other families where everyone is more physical, has activities they really enjoy doing, it would be more "normal".

 

[COmtbiker12]

Mornin, just about to head off for school.

I've had a pretty good few days lately, been stepping up my riding a lot and have felt more confident with jumping on my rigid Titan lately, so that's awesome. And then I had school off on Monday for President's Day, an assembly yesterday, a late start today, and Friday off for conferences. It's a good week.

I don't hike I mtn bike.

True, my family isn't very... our door oriented. I mean I would go camping and fishing with my dad but I guess since more "extreme sports" weren't around he never got into anything like that.

 

[binary visions]

I don't hike I mtn bike.

You're missing out.

 

[McGRP01]

I don't hike I mtn bike.

Let me know when you plan on biking to the top of Mt. Marcy, I'll tag a long for a few laughs.

 

[stosh]

So I just found out there is a good chance I might be working on Turkes and Caicos for a year. This could turn interesting.....

 

[narlus]

I went to an AWESOME ballet last night in San Francisco...Giselle...it was beeeeaaaauuuuttttiiiiffuulllllll.

But some stupid f'n broad next to me was sicker than an f'n dog and hacking and coughing...it's like STAY HOME bitch we are in close proximity of others at the opera house and no one wants your SICK! If I get sick before or during my trip to Vegas this weekend...well...I'm just gonna hope this bitch has the same season ticket package I have and I'm gonna toss her over the balcony at the next ballet!

 

[narlus]

a bit of the old ultraviolence at the ballet?

give that cheena a tolchuk around the ole gulliver.

 

[stosh]

Anybody here familiar with Turks and Caicos?

 

[narlus]

HAHAHA...why not...stupid woman comin in all sick. I mad dogged her a couple of times. If I were that sick I would just skip it and catch another performance. It's just rude.

Afternoon Stosh - been on the road much of today, first out to Storrs for meetings, then into Hartford for meetings and I need to go back to Hartford again this afternoon.

Corporate mergers are not so good for corporate fundraising - takes two potential sources of funds and reduces it to one. And just because a company grows through a merger doesn't mean their philanthropic capacity grows proportionally.

What's wrong with you?

 

[narlus]

not for the CEO, sr officers, or board members, usually. and they are 3153 times more important than everyone else, if you use compensation as a metric.

Flu, bronchitus
