Hidee hoooo, MONKEYS! Two words for you on this fine Thursday morning: Wake (the heck) up.

Looks like it's going to be a soaking wet next four days. I was planning a long run this afternoon, but I'm not sure I want to run in thunderstorms. A little rain would be fine, but heavy rain would just suck. I think it'll be a treadmill day (FML).

Got my ass handed to me at work yesterday. Got the cuts and the bruises to prove it too. Liked it so much I'm back today for some over time.:think: Gonna be ready for a beer or 5 when I get out of here for sure.

Not much to tell. Got stuck with a rather difficult job in the "hell hole" of a plane by virtue of the fact that I was the skinniest guy on shift, VERY little room in the aft equipment bay. Got three read rings still pressed into my back from laying on the #1 hydraulic by pass indicator.

should have crammed the 600lb guy in there and called it a day.

don't say he won't fit....that's what sharp knives are for.

If I am not mistaken, that is more than 2 words for us. I hope we will not be charged extra this GMT.

Morning Monkeys. Payday is never a bad day. It is also bike night (motos) so I might even win some money, too.

Question: Anyone play 3 Ball pool? We started playing it when too many people who sucked wanted to play 8 ball and games took an hour.

Our 3 ball rules:
$1 in from all players
Low shot score wins
Tie goes to another round until there is a winner
Scratch is +1, ball in hand, and put a quarter up towards the next rack
Winner of the last round shoots first

It's best with 5-7 players. Too few and the pot doesn't get big enough, too many and you may never brake a tie.

I have yet to shoot a 2. I have only gotten a 3 a dozen times, but I can shoot a 4 almost every time. Sh!t talk is mandatory.

<edit> Only the bartender is allowed to shoot with a non-house cue because he's special. :rofl:

G'morning... looks like we traded our summer weather... now we have warm and sunny and you guys all have cloudy and rainy... Sorry! (But not for all of us here on the West coast.) WA--WESTERN WA (thx SS) hasn't hit 85 yet this year. LAME. It's warm now at least... feels great. I'll take whatever we can get for these last few weeks of summer!

2 weeks until WHISTLER! :D:weee:

We have a pool table in our basement. It came with the house. I use it to fold laundry on.

2.5-ish hr. trail ride last night on a newly "buffed" trail that I'd only ever ridden on my DH bike.

"Buffed" was not how I would describe it... Still awesome, and a hell of a workout.

I was having such a good time I went otb and gave the ground a vigorous high five. Nice bruise developing on my left palm.

Ouchies.

My youngest brother is flying into Denver to hang out for a few days, see the sights, etc. I texted him last night asking for his flight info so I could pick him up from the airport, he emailed me this morning:

"It says I should be there around lunchtime"

That kid...I just don't know.

Heh. If we crammed Fatty McFat back there the plane would probably fall back on its tail. I'd rather not do that much sheet metal work.:monkey:

Easy there Skeletor, yesterday, I was the smallest guy by at least 50lbs. :busted: There is one other guy on days smaller than me but he was off.
