'Morning, monkeys. Let's show some hustle today.

I have an 8:00 meeting this morning...just another run-of-the-mill meeting. I predict at least 3 of the 6 other people who are invited will be late, because getting here on time for an 8:00 meeting IS SO VERY DIFFICULT AND INCONVENIENT! :rolleyes:

Morning. BUSY day yesterday!!! I slept like crap last night...kept waking up for no apparent reason every hour or two. Coffee tastes really good this morning though :) Got Syd all registered for T-ball/Little League after swim, did some bike club work, some LUNA team work and had a baby check up. 30 weeks down - 10 to go and according to the Dr., she's definitely a healthy, active one (gee, ya think...she kicked the Dr. and you could see her foot!!!) Supposed to be beautiful today so I am thinking I'll get the bikes out after school and Syd & I will go for a ride before dinner too :)

Well, hello Thursday. I will be glad when my life returns to normal, whatever that is.

It's 6AM Mountain Time, and I'm passing thru the midpoint (Santa Fe) on my 2 hr morning commute to Los Alamos.

Studying for a Pu Metallurgy class next week, then off to Chicago the following week.

Today's my Friday tho, since I'm working a 4/10 schedule.

Morning monkeys. The weather was AWESOME yesterday after work (partially sunny and 65 degrees). Decided to play around in the garage last night and tinker with my bikes. Attempted to put new tires on one of my bikes and ended up with two flat tubes. The tubes were old anyways and starting to get worn out. Apparently over the winter the tubes decided to spring leaks. I guess I'll be hitting up the bike shop on the way home.

Today is my Friday. Tomorrow, I head up to the Adirondacks for three days for what is probably the last skiing of this season for me.

I'm also scoping out a new wheel set for my 26" bike. The wheels & tires that came stock are like anchors, and I am totally sold on the tubeless tires after riding them on my 29er all year. Way better grip, and they just *feel* faster, even if they aren't. I've got my eye on another set of Stan's Arches, but I asked the LBS owner to price out other options for me, as well. I'm also ordering new, wider handlebars and a longer stem for it.

Goodbye, Winter That Wasn't, and hello spring!

Today is engineer's recognition day at work! Time to get on busses and listen to some people blather on about how great our engines are. That will be followed up with some refreshments this afternoon and a ****ty little gift like always.

At least the weather was nice. Went for a long walk last night and am trying to put the finishing touches on all my equipment. Shimano also graced me with a new set of pedals the other day compliments of a warranty claim. That was mighty cool of them.

yea. a week ago while i was still in utah liz got t-boned on her way to work (in my car obv). she was fine. other lady was making an illegal turn, admitted fault to the responding officer, and was also cited for "careless driving". Drivers sides front 1/4 panel, drivers door panel, some trim work, and an alignment just to be sure.

so the $2800 is all being covered by their insurance.

Long ass day yesterday six hour drive one way just to not fix an airplane. Wound up having to crash in a crappy hotel in Grand Junction, and I don't even have a bike with me. FML.

Morning all. I've been working out at the gym at my new job on my lunches because there is nowhere to ride near by. Started back towards the end of December and I've lost 16lbs so far. Pretty stoked.

Anyone going to the Sea Otter this year?

well tomorrow I am covering the early Paratransit shift so that the driver can be with his wife in dealing with the big "C". Shift starts at 6am. No way no how I am going to get up at 3:30am and drive an 1:15 to work to cover it. I'm taking my camper to work today and I will just spend the night. much preferable to be able to only get up at 5, make breakfast and walk across the parking lot at 6am

took a second for the light bulb to go off. Hope she winds up alright. And good on your for covering for him. I'm sure he appreciates it more than he has the ability to express right now.

What a terrible night. And a crappy start to the day. At least it's my Friday. And I'm skiing tonight. And probably the next two days. And I waxed my skis last night, so that's good. I guess it can only get better from here.
