Morning monkeys!

Again, did nothing at work. There was a dog and pony show, new boss wanted a look at the project.

Today I have a meeting with my dad's lawyer with the rest of the family.

Be safe out there.

fvcking phillies.

Good Morning!!

Packing up all my paintings and heading out to another festival this weekend to hopefully sell, sell, sell....

My 35mm f/1.8 prime lens came in this week, and I am absolutely in love with it.

 

[mrbigisbudgood]

Tomorrow, summer vacation begins.

Flying home to the US tomorrow morning and will be stay until the 18th. Breaking in the new Nickel at some old haunts so we can get to know each other. Big family reunion, blah blah blah. Flying back to Sweden and headed to Åre for 5 days of chairlift assisted joy.

Summer, **** yeah!

 

[I Are Baboon]

Hi! LOL

I should probably buy some deodorant...I have not worn any all week (lost my stick during weekend travels!).

Exciting next few days in the office. System comes down at 3:00 today for a major upgrade go live. I get to work Sunday to test and sign off. Oh goody! Meh, you don't care.

fvcking phillies.

Indeed.

Crazy Rt. 2 stories continue.

(For those of you who don't know)...Rt. 2 is a 4 lane highway separated by a median; 2 lanes going east, 2 lanes going west. 95% of the median is covered in woods and guardrails, making it impossible to cross over (insert Ryan Dunn joke here), other than a few small sections. This morning I'm heading east in the fast/left lane, doing the usual 75-80mph going with the flow of traffic. Ahead of me, all the cars (including a big rig) start swerving into the right lane. WTF I say to myself, as I look about 500ft ahead and I see nothing wrong. Next thing ahead of me is a car. 300ft away, upon closer inspection, it appears to be stopped. Slow down to about 55-60mph. 150ft away, I realize I'm looking at headlights. Holy ****. Slow down to 25-30mph. 50ft away, old dude realizes something isn't right and swerves to his right into the median to avoid hitting me. Continue doing 80mph and harmony is restored. Old people shouldn't be allowed to drive.

Anywho, ride tonight, possibly taking tomorrow off to ride with my buddy visiting from CO, then heading up to his lake house for the weekend.

 

[Pesqueeb]

Not much going on. Should probably go riding, not really feeling it this morning though.

 

[CBJ]

Just got reminded cars are expensive to maintain between gas, tolls, tires, registration and insurance its sucking all the spending money out of my bike part savings.

 

[stoney]

Mellow day. Trying to get the AC and alternator belts installed on my Subie after figuring out that I was sent the wrong belts. Once I get that done I will be finishing the rebuild of my 575 and then researching a 2-week trip to Europe.
Oh and I might look for a job too.

Is MBC still around or has she run screaming from your smelly self yet?

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

Is MBC still around or has she run screaming from your smelly self yet?

More importantly why does one have only 1 stick? I have no less than 3 at any given time; the main stick, a backup in the closet in case that runs out, and 1 in my travel bag.

 

[I Are Baboon]

She's used to my natural stink by now. And I only notice the lack of deodorant after my workouts.

 

[KavuRider]

Possibly (Hopefully!) landed a job, going in today to find out for sure.

I suppose I could use MBC's...maybe even leave a couple of stray armpit hairs on it for her. I've taken her multivitamins before when I've run out.

The ones with estrogen?

 

[Nick]

Good morning / damn near afternoon.

Nothing but stress these days (ROLF!) but I am looking forward to a 3-day weekend full of DH, long trails and mixed generously with grilled meat and ice cold beers.

 

[I Are Baboon]

The ones with estrogen?

of course.

 

[Polandspring88]

of course.

You were looking rather busty in the Warrior Dash picture.

 

[X3pilot]

Back from cardiology stress test. That was fun. Does it count as a workout?


IAB=smelly hippy?

 

[skibunny24]

Just. One. More. Day. Until. Holiday. Can't wait for the 3 day weekend! Going up to the cabin on the lake with family, bikes, and beer. Hopefully it will be warm enough to get in the water so we can teach the munchkin how to swim this year! Good times!

 

[Pesqueeb]

Went for a run instead. Good thing too, there is a major sh*t storm hanging over the mountains right now. Suspect I'd be getting pretty damn wet if I were @ Frosty Park right now.

If yours was the way I remember mine, than yes. Yes it does.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Gotta get all the backpacking $hit together.

 

[rockofullr]

I fvcking love backpacking. Have fun!

 

[SkaredShtles]

I fvcking love backpacking. Have fun!

Me too. A bit hesitant with a 10, 8, and 6yo though.

 

[rockofullr]

Oh...


Good luck!

 

[stoney]

Me too. A bit hesitant with a 10, 8, and 6yo though.

Just remember to pack them light. Because you'll be carrying everything.

 

[insanitylevel9]

spent all day cleaning my boat and i got burnt to hell, took a break during the heat of the day and went for a 20 mile road ride on my 29r.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Yeah - I'm well aware of this. But unlike your recent foray, I've not got a death-march planned.

Where are you hiking at?

 

[SkaredShtles]

Where are you hiking at?

Buffalo Peaks Wilderness...

 

[Pesqueeb]

Yeah - I'm well aware of this. But unlike your recent foray, I've not got a death-march planned.

Wait, did Joker go backpacking and I some how miss the thread?

 

[insanitylevel9]

tisk tisk tisk its 12:04 hear on the east coast this thread is closed

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

My friend and I did an overnighter with his 7 and 9 year olds last year in Crawford Notch. A few tough moments but overall they were troopers and had a blast.

Are you serious?

 

[SkaredShtles]

Yeah - we did a dad/kid backpack last summer. I took the then 9 & 7yo. Went well... but there will be another younger on this trip and a mother.
