How is everybody today?

Well... my friend talked me into playing golf yesterday. So after work today I'm going to pick up my old clubs and go to the driving range. I used to play for the team in high school but I haven't played in years.. I'm going to feel weird when I finally go out and play.

That is about the ONLY thing going on in my life right now besides all the O.T. I've been putting in.

Hope ya all have a great day!

Hudson Valley Resort and Spa - somewhere between you and Albany.
We almost had our wedding there.

Take 17 to 209 in Wurtsboro then take 209 thru Ellenville. It's on the backside of The Gunks in New Paltz.

G'Mornin'. Little to report today. Picked up my new road bike yesterday and did a little wrenching on it when I got it home. Removed the reflectors :rolleyes:, installed my cyclo-puter & bottle cages... I had planned to take some pics, but the wife is in Boston for work so that's about all I got done before I had to feed the kids and get them ready for bed. Ordered some Crank Bros. Quattros for it that hopefully will be in by the weekend. If not I might just throw my MTB SPD's on it and take her for a spin. 2 months until I do my first ever long road ride (75 miler) so I the sooner I start putting in some miles the better. :)

Cool.

BTW - 2 months is a long time, and 75 miles isn't THAT long of a ride. It really depends on how much climbing there will be.

Yep, that's the one! Is 6,800 a lot? :help:
yikes :eek:

Not a TON for a ride that long, but it's a whole lot of climbing regardless. And you'll hurt before you're done for sure. I live at the top of a hill, the climb is about 1200' over 2 miles... I'm imagining riding that hill 5+ times... ugh.

Out of my mind, back in a moment.
Morning.

Installed a new cassette on the roadie last night. Rode the road last night...hammerfest basically. Nasty anaerobic workout, but it felt good to get out and pound a little. Big exam day here today with a pair of them coming, and it's supposed to rain this afternoon. I think it will be an evening of relaxing and not doing much of anything.

And Tigg...what bike did you get?

Morning! Alberto is here, so it is quite disgusting today. On the brighter side, it's supposed to return to 90 and sunny for the next week and half once this is done. Hopefully it'll be clear tomorrow so I can finish staining my dresser. Other than that, just looking forward to the weekend... Atlanta for the Sox! :weee:

Good morning :monkey: 's

I was up until 4 am doing homework, and back up at 7:30am for a meeting I thought was at 8 am. However, after waiting for 10 minutes at a locked door I rode over to the library and found in my email that the meeting had been moved to 10 am. So I'm now on RM telling you all about it and looking up local internet providers so I can check my email and the monkey from my apartment.

Hump day is a big mtb and beer night here in Rolla, starting at 6pm, so I am pumped up for that right now.

Enjoyed my half day yesterday. Had a nice lunch with my mother and then headed off to the golf course. Shot a disappointing 8 over par 80. I am so so close to breaking 80 and staying there that it kills me. I just need to play more.

Tonight I get to go trap shooting with some guys from work. And then when I get home I have to play a Counterstrike match, then build up a 5 iron. Fun night ahead.
