Until you can tell a story, there is not enough.My job here is done...
I had to get up early and do things. God I hate being responsible. How can I maintain Rock Star status and still be subjected to the awfulness of responsibility?
You can't. Something has to give.
Maintain a constant state of inebriation.
Saw some type of strange animal on the way to work today, just barely saw it before it ran into the brush/woods. Looked like a mix between a bear and an alpaca. WTF?
East Coast BearPaca. Very rare indeed.
Work. Bike. Much success.

This thing didn't have that same air of arrogance.

suddenly thinking I need a ric 4003.
PS - the new Alps Mountaineering air mattress I ordered is fvcking unreal.
Got that last one on STP. AND the 30% off promo code I found worked. That is all.

meh Friday for me, Stowe ride tomorrow afternoon.
In my experience, Alps Mtn equipment doesn't last very long.
Doubtful. More likely el chupacabra.
I haven't owned anything by them previously, but I know others that have. I have heard their CS is awesome, which is all that matters.
Plus, I got this for the same price as a comparable Coleman air mattress from Wally World....so there's that.

I guess as long as you don't mind sending $hit back to them continuously...
Heh. Alps is the Huffy of mountaineering equipment. Although it might be slightly better quality than Coleman.
I will say, though - their $hit *is* cheap. Esp at STP. My kids have Alps sleeping bags for car camping because they were like $35 and came WITH a sleeping pad.

Says the guy that rides a Kona.
Someone rides a Kona?
Considering this queen size air mattress w/ pump cost less than 1/3 of my air pad (NeoAir)....if I get 4-5 car camping trips (ie: several years) out of it before it explodes....I'd be thrilled.
Morning Monkeys.
Had an interesting meeting yesterday, it seems the organization is being re-organized, and gawds honest truth the consultant they hired is named Bob. Only one Bob, and no interviews. Seems only one redundant manager was removed, everyone else stays, just in a slightly different manner.
I will be doing the exact same thing with the exact same folks, the only difference is I don't have to explain what I am doing (or not doing) to my pointy haired boss, I report to the dev manager of my group instead. This should work out well as all my co-workers are in another country and I hope I will get to fly there soon to visit with my team.

How exactly have you made it this far without one? Its unpossible to even comprehend. Get down to the store and liberate one for the love of God, Geddy Lee, and Lemmy.....suddenly thinking I need a ric 4003.
His bike is decked out with SRAM stuff. He should be used to it by now.
I think you have realistic expectations. Perhaps if you're *really* careful it'll last longer. They are almost worth it on sale at STP as "disposable" gear.
I was on a Warwick kick for years. Then I got caught up in the P & J world recently. I've been looking at MM Stingrays as of late. Started listening to demos of P vs J vs MM and found one with a 4003. the 4003 sounds like my favorite for solo playing. the P is an 8th note machine and sits nice in a mix. the J is more lyrical, but it's hard to "crush" with it. I gotta play one and see if I like the feel of the neck.
Nothing on either bike has been replaced since building them.
Granted I haven't exactly ridden much.....
My friend plays a fretless Ric. She is awesome too....
hat off to all fretless players (that is beyond my skill).
I think the fret sound is part of the mag(r)ic of the 4003, so i'm not sure i'd go that route if I could.
shift ran late, wind really kicked up so no taking the Kayak out today. So instead I pampered myself by buying a better PFD more suited to the high back seat of the kayak and still has enough pockets for my boxes of trout flies
