Morning monkeys!
Geeze, I take a vacation, and everybody gets their panties in a wad. HTFU, I say.
Was supposed to be on my way to the airport right now, but instead, my mother-in-law's battery operated oxygen tank didn't get delivered yesterday like it was supposed to be. We then had to change flights last night, and we are on a later flight, so we don't have to leave for the airport until after lunch. The down side is that we will get to San Antonio around midnight.
Be safe out there.

Don't you hate it when you get to work and are handed a problem before you even get to your desk? Today's problem being a tax reconciliation issue. Exciting stuff I tell ya. Welcome to my Wednesday.
Speaking of Wednesday, today is my Friday. HOORAY!! Six days on Martha's Vineyard starting tomorrow. Getting there will take half a day...3.5 hour drive to parking lot, shuttle bus to the ferry, ferry ride to the main island, shuttle bus to the next ferry, ferry ride to smaller island, car drive to the house. It should actually be fun.
I had to take the two greyhounds to the vet last night for checkup/shots. Eight long legs and two leashes just getting tangled all over each other. Goofy dogs.
Went out with the wife for the anniversary last night. Ate reindeer, had chocolate soup. Yum. Sat at a waterfront bar and had a couple beers, got to bed around midnight.
Today sucks. Rain. Cold(ish). Tired. Unmotivated.

im working at 10 today and my ride to work takes a half hour.... it is now 9:05 i should probably get on that soon.
Portofino, IMO, is one of the best cities in Italy. Make sure you check out Cinque Terra while you are there.
Will do.
make sure you hire a grizzly bear to deal with your neighbor while you're gone
Damn! I'd like an invitation like this as well.
Morning. Heading into school to do some work today. It's REALLY quiet around here without Sydney. She called a little while ago to tell me all about her day and everything that she did yesterday...it's too cute! Ride was rained out so I ended up with a rest day and broke my riding streak. More rain on tap for today so I am not sure about a ride later.
I was supposed to ride with a VERY GOOD FRIEND OF MINE last night. Pulled into the trailhead parking lot to meet up with him, see his car and no signs of him/bike. I text him that I'm here, to which he replies "turns out I don't really like you, and rather ride by myself", so he heads in and does the ride by himself. Luckily another friend of mine showed up at the same time so I wound up riding with him instead. Dragged me around for 2+ hours at an erratic pace on trails I haven't ridden in 10+ years. 1.9" tires @ ~45psi + wet rock = bad news. End of the ride was completely wet from the pouring rain and dark, ate dookie twice and banged up my arm and hip pretty good. Couldn't wait to get out of there.
To add insult to injury, a couple hours after the ride, I see said VERY GOOD FRIEND OF MINE in Walgreens when I'm picking up milk. He sees me, laughs, and says (sarcastically) "how was the ride, asshat?" I tell him about how bad it was, to which he retorts "now you know why I don't want to ride with you, EVER.......noob." I start to cry so the cashier is a bit freaked out, seeing a 6' tattooed man hysterically crying in line. Then the VERY GOOD FRIEND OF MINE has the gall to say, "why don't you get that tooth fixed, you look like a giant hillbilly piece of sh!t. Get out of my sight."
Tim, want to ride later this week?

I like it! Taking 15% factual information and stretching it into a story. 
I'm actually taking the she-beast up to Mount Washington end of this week, so probably not. But I promise we can ride next week. I swear on my mother's grave.

Wait until I tell her you called her a she-beast. It'll be the perfect complement for the other comment last week.I like it! Taking 15% factual information and stretching it into a story.

Cold and rainy this morning. WTF?
Friday.
Oldest last weekend on his 1st "difficult" climb:
Trash Day, put out your cans and stuff.
Morning Monkeys!
Another COLD commute this morning. At least it keeps my speeds bellow 50 when it's chilly, but I don't like riding with the shivers. Seems like ever since I lost all my fat I am much colder.
I'm not getting fat again, just need MOAR LAYERS.

Is that catslab?Oldest last weekend on his 1st "difficult" climb:
Edit: Don't think so, the anchor is too close. But catslab has a route with a similar looking crux where he is now.
Riding this afternoon. Hoping to get my DJ built up around my new wheels and give Wifey's bike a tune-up. If I have time, I'd like to get the 303 broken down to the frame for a clean up and rebuild my 36 to bump the travel to 6".
I also want to get a chapter or two in my AutoCAD instructional book done.

Elevenmile Canyon... Pinecone Dome. Route called "Harder Than It Looks."
Morning Monkies. Today is day 2 of a month without alcohol... or at least... that's what the doc says I should do. I don't really WANT to (see tag line below), which makes it especially challenging to not drink, but I guess I should just drink my dandilion tea and STFU.
Anyhoo, big boss coming up from Portlandia today to see what a spectacular job of hanging out here in the lounge I do all day... um, I guess I'll have to log out for a few hours and try to look busy... wait, I don't have anything to do... crap. I could go for a bloody mary right about now!!

What chapter tells you to ditch AutoCAD and use Solidworks?
Inventor Pro actually.
To-may-to, to-mah-to.
Free for a year or have to pay for Solidworks? Which would you do?
fify
P.S. the boss here just sprang for AutoCAD 2012 and CADWorx, I wont be using them much but still stoked for the new toys.

Have my company pay for Solidworks and have it at work and at home?
Right, 'cause what Joker's doing with it is clearly pushing the envelope of the software's abilities.
I know! Right?! Well, partly supposed to clean out the liver and help me sleep, and also I think it has something to do with the fact that I can't remember the last time I went more than a week or so without drinking... wait, I do now! When I was pregnant! I remember, can I have a Corona now?!For the love of God, WHY?!?
I'd recommend finding a new doctor.
1. I have no companyHave my company pay for Solidworks and have it at work and at home?
2. It's free or out of pocket for me
3. I am both trying to learn how to use it and learn concepts - concepts can be transferred between software packages
That's probably due to the weed.I know! Right?!

Quit defending your actions with perfectly substantiated reasons.
Ohhhhhhhhhh... well then, I shouldn't have to give up drinking after all!That's probably due to the weed.
All expense paid, flying first class and 5-star hotel plus all meals.
