There's nothing like a nice cup of tea and a warm cat on a chilly morning. :)
Coffee laced with Brandy and a warm cat?

If by "special" you mean the first friend I've ever ridden with, then yes :p
It doesn't hurt that he looks pretty good in a kilt though.
Have a good one Mal. A ride is always better when shared. :)

Checkin' in on Foo after a morning of dealin' with "stuff." :rolleyes:
BF was down last night, so I went to Gabbly, where I, for once, wasn't alone! :beer: I think I was doing a pretty good job keeping up with the conversations on, yeah, go ahead and say it, DIALUP. :mad: But after a while, my computer locked up, so I just shut it down and decided to watch a video instead.... I needs me a new computer. :(
And now, gotta get some lunch in me so I can get back to work. <slinkin' off to kitchen>

I'm sitting around the house waiting for the tile installer to get back from lunch. He said he'd be gone for 40 minutes...that was 2 hours ago :mad:
I was planning on going to do 3 days on the A.T. this weekend, but instead, I've been sitting around the freaking house waiting on contractors now for 2 days.
God I'll be glad when this kitchen remodel is over.

The sun's over the yardarm SOMEWHERE in the world ;)
I went to the farmer's market, where I was greeted with the smell of the guy tumble roasting green chili peppers. Everything is available now, so I spent a bunch of money. Pretty morning for it too.
I just finished splitting and stacking firewood, it must be fall....do ya think?
I'll ride a century event tomorrow, should be very nice!

Back from the river trip. My daughter is going to be a awesome paddler. Getting prepped to grill some salmon steaks. Both the salmon and I need to be marinated. :)
So over an hour ago I get on to get onto the net.
My computer went gonzo crazy and firefox is deleted. Gone. Progam disapeared.
So I spent 30 minutes trying to get someone to send me the Firefox file through yahoo. Then the missionaries came. I talked with them for 45 and here I am, finally with intarweb! Geeze. :rolleyes:
Working on finishing a book so I can write a review...

They found out from those guys on the corner that you were really wearing all out pink today. :eek:
Yep. The missionaries came to rebuke me for looking like the biggest fruitcake in all of china town. But hey, I like fruitcake. :p
I seriously think my mind is dead.
My sense of humor is gone, my ability to think is gone. Ugggg. I need sleep. I didn't get my required 9 hours of sleep last night.

Glad you made it home okay. I got concerned when you took the other exit, not going on the bridge.
Anyone checkup on Chris? gotta make sure no Mt. Lions or other critters have attacked him in the wilderness . :p

Hi Foo. Haven't been here nearly as much as I should be...
Hi Foosters.
I'm new around here.
Sitting here in southeast PA, having another cuppa joe, looking forward to a GREAT riding day -- 77, clear, dry, light wind.
Since the Eagles have been stinking up the place this season, I'm probably not even going to end my ride early to catch part of the game.

I found the pink and black stripey socks! :D :D :D They're more fuschia and black than pink and black, but I actually like that better. There were some other colors I ordered, too. I'm hoping they'll be nice. There are some internet businesses out there that sell some really neat socks and stockings. I had no idea...
I also realized that next weekend is the Polish Festival (http://www.portlandpolonia.org/festival/index.html) in Portland. Yay! :)

Well, I've been home about an hour and a half from my ride in Greenville. I met JayC & another friend when I got there.
We pretty much started out at the front of the ride and had a group of about 7-10 riders. Since it's so flat there, it was really easy to go fast:). My fastest lap (3mi) avg speed was 23.1mph!!!! Up until around 35-36mi, avg speed was 20.5mph. That was great till then. But, I'd been scooting all around my saddle to that point cause it was poking in all the wrong places:o. I didn't know that the next rest stop was only 5mi ahead or I would've waited till there to try to fix it. But I didn't and pulled off to fix.
No one waited and *snap fingers* like that, everyone was gone then. So, I made it on to the next rest stop, re-filled the bottles and had a little to eat. Got up with 2 guys leaving and rode with them for about 5mi...my left quad started cramping bad in the VMO muscle and behind my knee. I had to let up then and limp back towards the start. It was really hot too. Eventuallly, the SAG vehicle drove up and I caught a ride. Picked up another rider that was cramping as well.
Overall, it was a great ride. I'm really pleased with how well I did, even if I had to SAG in. 18.5avg, 2hr45min (approximate, but pretty damn close. turned the timer off on the Edge, but didn't turn Edge off. it recorded my ride back in the SAG vehicle). I don't feel too bad, considering I only had a piece of chicken breast and half a biscuit, 2 gels, 4 bottles fluid.
I got JayC to take a pic for me at the first rest stop...that's all I've got. Going too fast to take others...will post in a little while.

OH, geez, wolfie, sorry to hear about the cramping. That's no fun. Hopefully your leg will cooperate next weekend!
