Foo - Whatcha doin'?

Woohoo it's here! If I don't post back in a little while, it's because I can't get my computer workin'. Wish me luck.

Ok dookey busy boy! if you werent so busy riding your bike'S" !!!

Did you get the photos I sent?:)

Ok I can tell this is going to be a horrific day. My brother is hogging the shower and I have to leave in 10 minutes so I go into the other bathroom just to wash my hair with the hand sprayer. I lean over the tub and wash my hair with all my clothes on. I then proceed to wash my face(I can't find any face wash) and I accidently drop the hand washer. It's spraying on high and literally soaks me, I can't reach it, and its just literally soaking the crap outta me. So now I look like a wet puppy, and I'm majorly pissed. I freakin had to wash my face with hand soap cuz my face wash is in the other bathroom. EFFING EFF

Now I get to go get my teeth drilled at the dentist.

Pheard, can you laugh about this now (not the teeth drilling part)?

Yes actually. I can laugh at my horribly bad luck. If it had been someone else I would have laughed hysterically at the time. Here's me with 5 minutes to go, my shirts off and im washing my face while hanging over the tub. I drop the thing and its shooting 6 feet in the air. The closer I get to grabbing it the more wet I get. While I'm spitting water outta my mouth and squinting my eyes I finally grab it. At the end I look like a wet dog :(

I know I can.:lol:

Gotta repack the bearings in this old three speed Austrian hub....slowest bike ever. The handlebars keep slipping in the stem, so the shim only partially worked. So no riding long distances on this bike, hence I will not be able to train for the 24 Hours Race with it tonight. :(

Gonna have to take the Raleigh "Dutch Station Wagon" bike to the group ride then.:) Why am I feeling a wicked sense of delight anticipating the look I'll get from the Litespeed roadies when I show up on an old upright with a wicker basket on the bars???:D :D :D Can't wait to see their faces. Gonna wear me breeches, too.:p

I pictured it like it was a cartoon. :D

Well, he is an animal, and a fake one at that! You're a sick, sick woman.

I hope the yellow looks really bad. That'd be suuuhhweet! I'll definitely post pics.

well dispite a very hectic day at work again, I just got the chance to try running again, it's been 3 months since the injury and looks like Im not ready :(

very sweet mirona! youll have to pull me soon!

Don't tell my doc, but I went for a mountain bike ride last night :eek: . My boss, another coworker, and I all donned our lights as the sun descended and went to go rip up some singletrack. I felt really strong (except for pulling up to get over obstacles) and rode for a couple of hours. The weight loss since the accident made me faster, I think! I might be able to squeeze out a 30mph pull there BDG. We'll see ;)

I didn't want to mate with him, I just thought he was cute and funny! I'm sure I'm not the first person to have a crush on a fictional character! :p

But yeah...I guess I really am sick. :p I should be locked up or something...

Uh...I have a total crush on Mr. Darcy from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. I am a TOTAL nerd. ;)

You will get there. I know you'll come back stronger than ever. :)

I'm listening to my local radio stations tribute to Cliff Burton. Its strange how sad it makes me seeing as he died when I was a baby.

thinking about my dr appointment tomorrow.

Does anyone here have the ability to help me set up some simple web pages? Nothing fancy, I just need some basic HTML templates.

drinking about my dr appointment

Everything okay, dauphin? What's going on?

going in for a physical and I have been having some upper back pain that concerns me. Just kind of worried about it.

Sorry to hear it. Hope everything turns out okay.

thanks

Yeah, good luck!

Thinking about dauphins dr. appt.

((hugs)) :o

I kicked butt on the Wed. Night Ride. Managed to spill half the goods in my front basket, coffee, cookies, and my napkin. Dropped everyone for two stages, then dropped my saddlebags in some rough pavement. Had to go back and retrieve, so I get dropped. But I hung in there on those hills. (Hills Alley Cat coming up before the 24 Hours Race, so we did both routes).

Surprised the hell out of everyone, including myself. I kept hearing Ritehsdad telling me to kick ass, so I did.

The best part was wainting for the peloton to catch up, and hearing a girl say that it was cool how the guy with the oldest bike was the fastest.:)

Live it up people. Life is precious.

Hey Serendipper, we have a "race" here on this Sunday morning. Quick get that bike packed and get your bottom over here. Race includes PRIMS, KOM, lunch at half way point (including a small bottle of milk) Pictures will be posted. Must BYO beer.

I love this world and their nonchalantness attitude with everything.
My whole life is on a computer. It's what I've spent nearly 10 years working to build my career. It should come as no surprise then that to me operating system reliablity and functionality along with software and hardware is a big concern to me. So a few months ago, about a 1/2 a month before the big shakeup that ended up seeing my life doing a complete 180 degree turn I bought a new laptop. It wasn't the expensive laptop that I wanted but it was a decent laptop and after 2 months I had started using it for most of my important stuff.

The laptop had a slew of problems since theday I took it out and rhad to return it because it didn'thave the amount ofmemory advertised. Lately the SMART hard drive began giving errors and it explained why i could never play multi-media smoothly on the computer. The hard drive was dieing on a not even 3 month old laptop. I had put off taking it in for a few weeks but it has finally gotten the best of me since now my house is nearly 5 times bigger then my prior apartment.

So I go in to Fry's, and wait 2 hours to get it returned and end up having to go from one end of the store to the next. They give me a loaner because it's going to take 1-10 weeks to replace the hard drive. They rung up the wrong loaner and so as i'm leaving this very beautiful lady stops me and redirects me back and we spend another 15-20 minutes trying to get the right loaner laptop rung up.

I get home and I decide to go cycling because after wasting 3+ hours trying to get a laptop fixed that should never have had any problems was frustrating to say the least. Came back and started the process of uninstalling all the hp bloatware that they insist on putting it. 20 programs to let a mouse pointer work, or audio to work, etc. I am setting up the network id and i suddenly remember i dont know my wpa key and so I unplug the laptop to take it up stairs.

AT that moment the laptop flashes a "critical battery tooltip" and then shuts itself off.
After some investigating, it becomes apparent that the reason the loaner had been returned was because the battery does not charge. SO now i have to drive 30 miles and wait in line again for god knows how long for them to give me a new loaner to replace the loaner to replace the laptop taht should never have to be take a month to pop out a hard drive that should never be dieing at 2 months old.


As you can see i'm very very frustrated.

Nice! If you want a 55lb "Flying Pigeon" bike for your next race, let me know :D

My 1-week China National Day holiday starts tomorrow! Any Foosters want to sponsor me for a round-trip ticket to Japan? :D ;)

Damn -- I really *could* do this if I could find the cash ... could you provide a bike? Not sure my basic Dahon would be able to keep up with proper roadies.

proper roadies.

We are far from proper roadies.

All right, but I still bet you guys would give me a good thrashing in a race :lol:

Way to go Dipper!!!

Bummed because my ride got cut short today. The loud noise I heard near the end of Tuesday's ride evidently was some semi-critical piece of my rear derailleur. All chain tension disappears if I let up pedaling at all. :o At least it shouldn't cost much to buy a replacement, and I have a couple spares on hand that might work ok in the interim.

Awww bummer, Zorro. At least you can have it fixed in a jiffy, right? :)

I'm watching the weather channel trying to decide whether to load up my MTB for tomorrow or not. Gonna eat some breakfast/lunch and go to bed soon.

Awww bummer, Zorro. At least you can have it fixed in a jiffy, right? :)

Maybe 3 or 4 jiffys. :)

Ha ha! Coolio!

Now why am I in the mood for popcorn?

Hugs to Dauphin and TG.

I'm at home eating lunch. It's a salad comprised of mostly greens with a lot of nuts. Slim pickings today.

I hate Wells Fargo. They have caused me much unnecessary stress the past few days. Worst bank ever.
:)

thinkin' about what to have for lunch. salad or sandwich, or the hot dog cart?

Well, don't switch over to USbank, they've been super irritating, as well. I miss my credit union :(

I am currently dreading making life decisions...
