one of My Co-workers had a Hissy fit at us last week. He wrote this Document about a New security procedure, and was getting all sorts of accolades for it , then Me and A co-worker ( seperatly ) both tried to install using his instructions and it didn't work. when brought to his attention ( in a Wide open Cube enviroment ) he starts Yelling at that we are a bunch of F%^&ing morons who can't follow simple F***ing instructions. Our Boss who is in NY has herd about this and is not too happy about it.

Mornin Stosh.

I had a very chilly ride into work today (42 degrees), but still better than driving. As it gets cooler I'm going to have to find something to keep my head warm.

We launched a redesign of our website this week, so I'll be busy once again today cleaning up after that. It's funny... we have our own design person and our own web person (me) in the office, yet we have all the design work and coding done by another office on campus. I still don't understand that.

Not much on for tonight... I'll ride home, maybe take the dogs for a run, then clean up around the house a bit.

Yes, pleanty of times. I can't spend the money on them right now though.
pfffffft - you don't need to go HID. Watch for deals, a solid halogen can be had for ~$100. My light and motion solo (13w halogen) was $120 and works perfectly well for me.

Hello. Not much going on here.

Speaking of lights, mine are now fully charged for our KT weekend. Hopefully Splat won't wuss out on a night ride. :rolleyes:

I bought my lights used for $100 for the set (head lamp and bar lamp)

I don't have $100 to spend on lights, I need a new snowboard first.

Hopefully his lights don't wuss out like they did this summer. :bonk: I still need to charge my battery as well!
I am actually somewhat concerned about my lights. Well, my bar light, anyway. It's a replacement battery and it died after just an hour of use at Ashford. :rant:

I blame hippies.

You realize I ride a minimum of 2x a week right?

Ha! ....Last year you did. This year, you're married. You ain't goin' anywhere, big boy!! :busted:

Not a lot to report today.....bought a new cell phone yesterday. My other one was pretty much just a generation away from a bag-phone, so it's nice to upgrade a little.

Rode for about an hour and a half with the neighbor kid yesterday evening and showed him how to shape dirt jumps. We built a neat little double for him and he was having a blast. I'm gonna love being a dad--I can't wait!! :happydance:

Y'all have a good one.....I gotta run. Lots of stuff to do......

Last night was the season opener of my ultimate frisbee league. We got our asses handed to us 12-7, but it was good time. Lots of running, laughing, and post-game beers.

I'm working at the rock gym this morn, I've got some lab work on campus to do afterwards, and then I'm headed out to the office for some "real work." What a crappy day.

Morning all,
had a great bike commute to work, avg 18.2 mph for 20 miles. I have to drive today because I'm working late. I've also had my boss ride part of the way home with me, and I've got two of my three closest co-workers started biking. new recruits!
Well done! It's just about the perfect time of year to start commuting to work ... unfortunately I start my new job in a couple of weeks and the commute (by car) is going to kill me. Greenway and the 17, man.

Rock on homie. I think I may stop by Darkhorse and check out his Turbocat light systems. Reasonably cheap and bright enough for what I'm looking for.

Morning. Broken up day today, 1 lab and 2 classes. Weird stuff. Not much happening here, just getting ready to come down for the last Stewart ride of the season. Should be a damned good time Saturday.
