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

Blah, grumpy day here. It's sunny, but hot and humid as hell. Kingdom appears to still be closed, and rain is projected for the next few days, with only one day of sun (Saturday). Nobody has any idea when the trails will re-open, at least before the weekend. Methinks it may be time to consider cancelling the vacation plans. No point in spending a bunch of cash to go there and NOT ride the damn place.

Other than that, I'm tired of going to class and would like to sleep for a few days.

Lame, is there going to be a bunch of people riding fixies with tight pants and bike racing hats?

Probably some, but not everyone is like that though. Its like a anthropolgist's wet dream down here sometimes. I want to do a 'thanks for the support!' kinda get-together and combine it with helping out local bikey-support groups.

'morning everybody.
some comments in no particular order:

Bike/train/bike to the office today. I LOVE riding in the morning and being all energized. That, and my usual 18 mile, 1 hr+ commute was cut down to 40 minutes and zero traffic. AND I have to pass a skatepark on the way back to the train this afternoon!

This year is the first tour that I haven't seen Slayer since about '85 or so on the Reign in Blood tour. There is still no substitute for a Slayer show, and I can't imagine they can keep it up for much longer.

Calexico just played here last week. My g/f and her sister went (played at club where the sister tends bar) and I hear I passed on a great show. Enjoy.

Damn I feel good. :dancing: Have a great day.

Wow... I think I'll pass on this event.

hehe. Naw, its my party. Meats for all! I want to bring sausage and chicken and other good things!

Look at Ft.Tilden,NY on google maps. Thats one place I'm thinking about, its an abandoned military base that used to protect the harbor (mind the unexploded ordinance) and the beach is usually completely deserted. I can't explain how rare that is in the area...

After talking to the gentleman at the B&B, the trails are in much better shape than the Kingdom website leads us to believe, and only a few are closed, not the whole trail system. Apparently the weather has been much different from waht's been shown on the website as well. Sunny and beautiful yesterday, only a sprinkle today.

Looks like it will be promising. No thanks to the people who run the Kingdom website...

Dancin' over rocks n' roots!
Good morning! Raining here and lots of flood warning in effect. Got a lot of yard work done yesterday so the rain is good...just hope it doesn't wash all of my seeds away. Today I am taking the truck in to be looked at (it's making a weird noise and we think it's got a bearing going bad in the rear end) and doing laundry.

This is actually turning out to be a pretty awesome day. There is a state of emergency, so most offices on campus are closed. A few of us didn't get that message this morning, so for those of us at work today, it's been a very productive morning.

I'm now about to take off for a 40ish mile road ride before I have to pick up my kids from daycare. That will put me over 200 miles for the month, which I'm pretty happy with.

I hear Upstate's in pretty bad shape and that part of I-88 actually caved in!

yea - an underground stream washed out the road causing a pretty significant cave-in. A couple of tractor trailers crashed and 2 people were killed.

It was slow enough in coming that most of the high-risk areas were evacuated in time, so I think the injuries will be kept to a minimum.
