'Morning! I was going to swim this morning too...packed all my stuff last night and everything. Then the alarm went off this morning and I thought FTS and went back to sleep. Thankfully the dog went right back to sleep too.
I think between the last three nights, I have finished sleeping.

Meh. I am ready for better times.
at least I got in one good ride while having to work all weekend. Its supposed to rain every day except wednesday this week so it looks like ride on the wind trainer or run on the elliptical each night. rain gear and reflective vest will be this weeks work uniform.
Morning Monkies! Another work week but this one is special as its annual enrollment week for health care benefits. We have a new system that deleted dependent spouses and requires a telephone call to reinstate them. Of course no one can get through because there are not enough people to handle the calls...
Other than that excitement just another work week. I've arranged to bail early for trail rides Tuesday and Thursday.

Work is as Work does. Cold and wet this weekend here in Maine. Had to wear a jacket yesterday while banging out a few gravel roads. Need to find some thicker gloves during my lunch some I can ride tonight with cold fingers.
On weekends I just sleep until I wake up. I slept until 8am on both Saturday and Sunday vs. my normal wake up of 6:30am. Apparently I have been tired.
work. hoping my new bike arrives tomorrow. my son got to ride his new bike for the first time yesterday as the rain finally let up. he was pretty stoked. it's a little long for him, so I swapped stems and lowered it a bit, and pushed the saddle forward. He didn't ride it after the changes, but I'm hoping it was enough. it's got gears, and he figured out the gripshift pretty quick. It's too bad we're so close to the end of the riding season caus' it would have been nice to go for rides with him. I'll have to get some knobbies for it as it came with semi-slicks...
Morning Monkeys.
Worked way longer than should have on Sunday due to stuff. But next Sunday "should" go smoother since this was the test run (sort of).
It amazes me that there are people who have been put in a position that requires a specialized skill that they lack and will never gain. How they got put there, I have no idea, but they shouldn't be. Once identified, though, they can be avoided because they are truly of no use for the purpose they are supposed to serve.

Morning, kiddo is sick, wifey is sick, so I am sure I will also be soon.
Picked up the new bike this weekend and she is all adjusted up, just need the trailer for the kiddo and we are off.

This resonates with me this morning...
Rescued a cyclocrosser who busted his ass (actually his leg) deep in the woods in the unforgiving wilds of Queens yesterday. Clearly would have been eaten by wolves (actually large rats) if I hadn't found him when I did.
Had to drive him home because he had ridden to the trails, and into the folded arms and furious glare of a wife who was pissed they would now miss their 6yr-old-son's piano recital. Be safe out there people, not for your own well being, but keep yourselves from the vengeful wrath of an unforgiving spouse/partner/whathaveyou.
(postscript - He texted to me laster to say he fractured his femur and torn his quad and was going in for immediate surgery. Quite impressed he was able to hobble out of the trails.)

Mornin! I got two big rides in this weekend and am tired this morning. Perfect dirt, even frozen in spots higher up in elevation. Talk about fast and rippin!!!!!!!!! It was Derek's birthday Saturday and we went to a Young Dubliners concert. in the words of Trump, it was tremendous.
Don't get me wrong, I know some stuff, but databases are not one of them. That is one area that requires a special (weird) kind of individual to be any good at it. So how/why is someone who doesn't seem to know a whole lot about it be considered a DBA? And if they are a DBA, then I need to add that to my title because I was the one who figured it all out.This resonates with me this morning...
Sounds like a good excuse to poopdeck this one;Don't get me wrong, I know some stuff, but databases are not one of them.

He rides cyclocross. I'm sure the rest of his masochist crew would shun him if they found out he didn't get out of the woods under his own power.

Yep. kiddo xc ride today, winding down BMX season with maybe last (outdoor) race this Friday...got crazy and bought a sprint stand so maybe I can actually get good starts next year, maybe??
(that and also need to drop like 15 lbs over the winter, now THAT's a chore)...

thats cool.
as kids we all hung at and played at the track, but once in a while when the track folks were doing maintenance they'd have 'gate practice', the lines would be 8 kids deep.
well...didn't have to kill anyone, but dang am i out of shape. still, 80^ and sunny-great day to play outside in crunchy leaves and dirt.
Still fighting wit a minor leak under the kitchen sink. 
Did some trail maintenance.
Rebuilt dropper arrived from KS - very fast turnaround.
