Moving out... you found a place of your own? You buy something?

Not much exciting to report on today... just work as usual, might try to ride, but we'll see how the day plays out.

Got to work early myself...hoping to get out at a reasonable hour and then go for a ride. Although hopefully I won't melt out there today.

As a side note, there was a killer deal on MTB shorts on steepandcheap today. I was about to pull the trigger when I thought my brother may want a pair as well. As I wait for him to respond to my e-mail, they sell out and I'm left without. Where's the karma?

I actually like where I live.
yea, so do I... but I don't think I'd ever move just down the street. Across town, definitely... but not just down the street. Though it is a long street you live on, so...

The property has 2 freshwater streams that connect at the rear corner of the property.

The area I live in is right at the edge of affordability for us, if we got anywhere else either it gets over priced or it's on the other side of the Mtn.

Morning all. Not much to report here. Stopped by the LBS yesterday and dropped off the remaining coin for my roadbike. Just waiting for them to call me and let me know when it's in. In the mean time I'm ordering some Look pedals for it. We had some HUGE thunderstorms roll through late yesterday afternoon. Branches down everywhere, roads flooded... Driving home from work took forever. Not much on the plate for today, but SMBA has a BBQ/Ride Event this Sunday which I think I'll feel o.k. to ride at so that's something to look forward to! Have a good day!

Good morning, monkeys. :monkey:

I had an exceptionally good workout last night. It's weird....as with biking, you have your good days and your bad days at the gym. I don't know what the hell got into me last night.

MBC and I are ditching work a little early today to get in a 3.5 hour road ride. HOORAY!

I just finised prepping for a 10:00 interview (me being the interviewer).

Nothing much to report, went over to the courts last night and played a little bit of basketball. I even had my own police presence as one decided to stop and make sure that I wasn't up to any trouble.

Tonight I get to go trap shooting. Wahoo!

I was thinking about picking up a pair of those, but I am really picky about shorts etc. I was actually happy when they sold out! it made my mind up for me!:rolleyes:

Good morning. I am gonna work and then go home and mow. Then I am gonna do a short urban ride. Somewhere in there I am going to look into heat transfers that I can print on so I can make up a special shirt or two for MW monkeyfest.

Maybe not with the thunderstorms that are predicted! Sounds worse than yesterday!

My choices tonight post work are to attempt a group ride that may be cancelled by aforementioned major thunderstorms, hail and 60 mph wind or go see out of town bands Tragedy and Forward (from Japan). I am hoping for rain!

Good Morning!

We lost our hockey game last night 3-0 with one goal coming late when we pulled our goalie. Man we just didn't have our timing down last night. Lots of missed passes, pucks in the skates, and other mishaps. I hit the post once and got robbed by the goalie twice - frustrating. We are in the losers bracket now and must win Thursday night to advance to play the team we lost to last night. And we'll have to beat them twice to win our division's playoffs. We can do it.

It was nice to come home and be able to watch the third period and overtime of the Sabres vs. Canes series. GO SABRES!!!

Hopefully I'll get a bike ride in of some sort tonight.

Nice...I would love to live in a house. My apartment's getting a little crowded.


By the way, are you riding this week?

It's not a big deal!
The optimum solution for me though, is if you sell it for me and then pay me more money for the next one. But thats not exactly a 'bro' thing to do...:nopity:

If the shirt is fine, I can probably get my buddy to put it in his shop for me and everybody wins.

Yeah the shirt is fine, I opened it up, tried it on and was like "WTF is wrong with these god damn NYC people and their metrosized clothes!!"

Then I folded it up and stuck it on my dresser.

It's an XL or should I say a women's Med.


(Disclaimer: I was warned by Ethan prior to my purchase, in fact I was encouraged to upsize)
