Yo. Morn'
One day closer to the day Aubrey stops keeping your balls in her purse, and drops them into the garbage disposalstosh said:
Raining here as well.
raining here, I'm still coughing, nothing interesting going on
Hello. Cool news about your frame, Stosh!
Another busy day here. Still no applicants for my analyst position. I guess no one wants to be my bitch, so I'm stuck with the heavy workload for now.
We won our deck hockey game last night 7-1, making us 8-0 to start the season. HOORAY!

So what's the deal? Is this new frame kept a secret from your girlfriend?
Mornin stosh.
Yep - some f'ed up weather indeed. I heard this forcast on the way home from work yesterday:
"For tonight, rain and wind with temperatures rising to near 50 by morning. For tomorrow, rain early changing to snow by the afternoon. Highs in the upper 40s with temperatures falling throughout the day."
How screwed up is it that it got warmer over night and is not getting colder during the day. It's supposed to be the other way around.
Anyways... Spent some more time on the trainer this morning... 30 minutes of spinning with IRobot playing on the big screen. Made the time pass much faster. Lots of rain overnight, I'm sure there will be some localized flooding in the area. Our builder is supposed to be coming up today to fix a few spots in the grout in our kitchen floor and replace a seal in our basement doors. The town code guy is supposed to be meeting some other guy at our house this week to see if our windows can be grandfathered so we can get our CO. Apparently the code changed that specifies how tall the opening of a window must be (emergency egress) while our house was being built. It didn't become an issue until about 6 months ago - go figure.
Did any of that make sense?

Morning all! Woke up thinking it was Thursday, so I was depressed to realize it was only Wednesday. Didn't sleep well last night...got woken up at 12:30 by the @ss upstairs, then again around 6. I can't wait until he's gone! I have never heard a person who walks that loudlly in my life! It's been 6 months since I have slept through the night, and slept well. :mumble:
Pouring here too. The whole house smelled like wet dog this morning because our genuis setter decided it was a good day to run laps around the yard in the rain.
dont be upset.... in the total outcome the frame price is miniscule... dont forget once your locked into paying for it .. then every penny countsstosh said:
i wound up buying my intense just before i had to close.. that was quite a bunch of money to handover. but my wife knew i wanted it .. and it would be a long time until i could get another bike so she said go for it.
she said who knows if we will have the money next year.. then the baby will come... etc etc.... enjoy your frame..
How much is a $250 frame really going to impact your purchase of a house? That frame and necessary parts are a drop in the financial bucket my friend...stosh said:
It was a similar situation with me and my Yeti... I bought it while we were building and not long before our second child was born. It probably wasn't the smartest time to fork out that kind of money, but there was a good chance that it would have been at least 5 years (if not longer) before we had the money to do it again... so I pulled the trigger and am sooooo glad I did.hooples3 said:
i know what you mean... but .. when you figure out what your mortgage is going to be.. you will have a better idea of what your monthly costs will be.stosh said:
when i figured out how much i wanted to spend on a house, and what was affordable it made it so much easier. the way i figured it was that my monthly salary will cover the mortgage, and my wifes all the other bills, expenses and savings... .. and bike parts!!!
I agree, thing is it was $450 worth of stuff and considering I have a low limit on the CC it looks like my CC is maxed out thus taking my Credit score down a touch. Plus I can use every penny I have for closing costs right now.jacksonpt said:
Anyway like you said it aint a big deal!
Yep - every time I think about picking up a HT I end up thinking that it will probably never get ridden because I enjoy the Yeti so much.hooples3 said:
so does this mean you found a house/buying it?stosh said:
We're going back for a second look. They just dropped the price yesterday. Seems like the market is slowing in our area... the house across the street from this one also dropped their price 2 weeks ago.douglas said:
Now Aubrey's freaking out because of our upcoming wedding we're paying for. I'm not sure what will happen if we buy the house and she doesn't like not having her life planned out 2yrs in advance.
I think Stosh is handling the latest bike purchase like a seasoned veteran of marriage: 'Tis better to ask for forgiveness than permission. 
Class 10:35 straight through 5 today....rough second day of classes.
i use my ht for commuting and road riding... <w/ slicks> so i would never get rid of that. my SS is my play bike and foul weather bike. the 6.6 is my ultimate playbike... and the heckler has been sitting there... now i feel bad.. ill take her out tommorowstosh said:
Windy here this morning and somehow it's 60 degrees. I had to cross the bridge this morning and my car felt like it was floating. The orange cones they place between the lanes were flying around and hitting cars and the windows facing the river looked like they do when you go through the huge dryers at the car wash. Should be a fun day and hopefully the power will go out 
Stosh, enjoy your new frame! I can't wait to see it. Did you here what happened this morning at the Newburgh-Beacon bridge?

Well that is why we've waited to buy a house till now because we weren't married. Thing is this house fell in our lap and I think we can get it for a steal. Otherwise we haven't been looking because we wanted to wait till we got married. I don't know, there is a ton of schit to consider right now. We're just trying to wade thru the murk.hooples3 said:

You can do it!
Well here is something to think about, which I think a lot of people ignore. You are about to start a life together and will be making a very important purchase, your home. Whats more important to you the wedding or the marriage? That money you blow on a single day event like a wedding can be better invested into your life together.stosh said:
