Last night was the first good night of sleep I've had in a week (stupid sore throat). I'm feeling good today. I went to the gym last night and had another decent workout.

7:00 hockey game tonight. Bummer that McG and his gimped up knee is going to miss it. :(

'morning! Got to use my grill for the first time last night, grilled up a nice 18oz steak and some fish. That and a decent bottle of wine made for a very good dinner!

It's really nice out... If the wind died down it'd actually be warm. Too bad I'm working all day & have class tonight :(

Sunset is 6:15. If I get out of work at 4:00, I can squeeze a solid 90 minute road ride in. :thumb: Perhaps Thursday....

Woohoo!! The sun is out, it's a great day to ride. Wish I had more options on where to ride, almost everything is still too wet from the thaw and now the rain too. Even a bad ride is still a good ride.

Sounds exactly like my night. I had not gone down to the basement since Monday. Well last night headed down, and bam! I'm standing in water. It was a long night of mopping and vacuuming.

Morning! Quiet night last night. Wife is out of town so I picked up my daughter at the in-laws after work and we went home and watched The Incredibles. Great movie!! Today is my Friday and I have Thurs., Fri., Sat., Sun. off. Going riding tomorrow to see how much snow/mud is on the SMBA trail currently, hopefully they'll be somewhat ridable. Sat. we're throwing a suprise 60th birthday party for my mom-in-law. We rented the whole upstairs of the local brewpub (www.sayipa.com) so it should be a ripper!! Can't wait!!

Had a friend go out on Sunday and he said there were spots that were REALLY muddy/slushy and not rideable. I would advise the gravel road entrance as the Stables entrance is usually bad this time of year. We're going to hit Spier Sunday morning (early) if you're interested.

Morning! Sun is out and I am planning on riding this afternoon. We've got a half day (students get to go home - teachers have meetings) and I am blowing out of here (instead of going ot my meetings) to get a ride in before my dental cleaning :thumb:

Celebrated my sister's 21st birthday last night at Applebees. Didn't get any drunken phone calls so they must have either been passed out early or disappointed me by not getting too crazy :devil:

I've been in a drunken-hibernating stupor for the last few months, just started riding last year. I'm an all or nothing kind of guy, so I've been in my own little world during the winter months. I'm psyched to have the bike out of storage again though. Speaking of which.....cough* cough* I think I'm sick boss, I need to go home......

Morning - just barely. took and made some phone calls about my Marin for sale last night. Hopefully Sweep's buddy will want to buy it. Another guy wanted to trade a frame for my bike, but I don't think that's the way to go.

I rode around a little bit last night on the Hollowpoint - such a nice feeling bike, however my knee didn't feel so great again afterwards. :( friggin knee. Friggin black ice that I slipped on :mumble:

Yeah I may cut class in a week or two to go riding. We just had someone quit so sick days and vacation days are a thing of the past.

Maybe just the tiniest bit - but not really swollen up big or anything. the outside of my knee hurts and is very sore though. Is there a worried smilie anywhere because that's what I'm feeling right now about my knee. Damned joints. :mad:

It's probably just tweaked and you stretched stuff out that shouldn't be stretched.

Well my day is so far uneventful. Lax practice alot and we have our first game on Saturday against Tilton i think. No riding for 8 more weeks i think unless i get my bike up here and ride some park, but thats really it. LAX season feels like it is going to be a long one this year!

I have some great stuff I got from my kung fu sifu. It's some ancient chinese herbal remedy. It's called dit da jow. Anybody who knows anything about traditional chinese medicine knows about this stuff. Its used a lot to help sore muscles and joints after iron palm training.
