Foo - Since you weren't on Foo...

...how'd you spend your day today?

Hmm...? <curious Vega look>

Went to CVS, grocery store, petsmart, play basketball, sleep in, make coffee, yum.

rode with vertical bob, jpconrad, and justme

spent too much time at Home Depot buying assorted stuff for the patio we're putting in and then digging and leveling the to be patio area.... and did manage to take the dog down to the Platte for some swimming :-)

Watched the Giro on tv and took a nap.

Flew from Denver to Bozeman at 8am. Slept for 3 hours after getting home and have since been sitting on the couch giving my best Jabba The Hutt impression.

Almost managed to play 30 seconds of Yngwie's "Baroque and Roll" at 1/5th the speed it's supposed ot be without screwing it up....I discovered why it was so hard, his guitar has every single string tuned down one note....D to D instead of E to E....that made everything fall into place :)

Really, guitar is not hard to learn....something I did learn....screw the instructional discs, CD, books, etc....just get some sheet music and or tabs and start from there....once i did that, I was learning FAR faster.


Oh, and the music stand can handle holding my laptop, so that's all good (no printing, save the f-----g trees!!!! woot!) :)

Wait, I wasn't on Foo? :eek:

I've been on the computer for most of the day so far. Even fell asleep for awhile with it still on my lap. I got the non-computery stuff done yesterday, so I guess today is for lazing about. :)

With my boyfriend. I'm sure your imagination can fill in the details.

Did a 60 mile training loop with some serious climbing. I'm looking to take the gold in the 24 hour Texas Time Trial - recumbent division. 500 miles in 24 hours baybee!

Then home, nap, sex, and about to run out to see the new Pirates movie. Go me!

i laid pavestones, took a nap with my youngest son and goofed off.

500 miles in 24 hours baybee!
Wha? How is that even possible? It takes double century riders 12-15+ hours to do two hundred miles. You'd have to average over 21MPH for the whole period to go 500 miles in that time!

Rode, shopped, napped.

I'm at work.

Taken care of the business, wanted to give hubby a couple days to himself ( he works a lot) so i took over and havent left the office since friday!!! ( or it seems like it)
training partner came to kidnapp me for a while and that felt nice to ride for a while!
Im still in the office but almost done :)

Cleaned house. Cooked two meals. Went and saw Barack Obama speak.

With my boyfriend. I'm sure your imagination can fill in the details.

I have a bad imagination, why don't you fill us in?

Hanging out, did some stuff around the house, went grocery shopping.

Well, he spent the whole weekend here. We rode the motorcycles (I had to ride the 250 since he kept on stalling it, so he'll be teased about that for a while), got barbecue (this IS NC after all), and then did some more ridin' ;)

riding and going to bass pro shops. then played with the kids for a while. now...sleep.

...how'd you spend your day today?
I was on Foo; I wrote you a letter.

Wrote two weeks' worth of lectures, graded 40 quizzes, wrote part of the final exam, designed a study guide for the exam, and prepped for tomorrow's lecture. :cry:

got up early to ride some hill repeats to get my flatlander legs semi-prepared for the Horribly Hilly Hundreds three weeks from now. went out to lunch with the family. bought some curtain rods. grilled up some hot dogs and had some corn on the cob. took a two mile walk after dinner to lessen the guilt of eating too much. now about to go have a beer and start winding down. the end.

Started at 9. Rode ~39 miles with a new group of riding buddies. I pulled a lot. I had a blast. Good times. Then I did yard work (weed-wacked, mowed, installed landscape lighting) documented most of it with the camera phone.

Visited Sam Walton's to get another canister of gas. Bbq'd with the wife.

'twas a good day. The weather was absolutely perfect for anything. 75F and no clouds and very little wind.

Rode down to D.C.
Watched the parade,
had a Sierra Nevada with friend
then time trialled back up to Rockville
to watch the sunset.
Fifty miles for the day :0)

spent too much time at Home Depot

Uhhhhh... you can never spend too much time at Home Depot :D :D :D

Sheesh- you did what I was supposed to be doing all weekend, and now I feel guilty as the dickens. I have 28 comp exams to grade, plus a lecture tomorrow.

I get my guitar tomorrow!

Hell yes, what did you get?

I found a NOS ESP Viper 301.

I just had to google that...my god is that a sweet axe! :)


edit: oh and I started a thread to post your guitar stuff.....you know you wanna do it!

All in due time!

welcome back cypress!

welcome back cypress!


Glad to be back. Castle Rock was hectic.

...how'd you spend your day today?

Pondered rebuilding my rear der. Read some Albert Camus. Made me feel even stranger than usual.

Were you Plagued by this feeling??

I've been working on my latest creation:

The $300 LAN rig.

Sheesh- you did what I was supposed to be doing all weekend, and now I feel guilty as the dickens. I have 28 comp exams to grade, plus a lecture tomorrow.
Well, exactly: I was supposed to be doing it all weekend, too, which is why I was busting my hump to get it all done today. :rolleyes: I never learn.

That combination makes me feel like I'm going to have a flashback or something. :D

Well, I was on foo a bit today, but really I was doing some database development for Finca Leola (I am the resident Geek and President), had a meeting about buying a tractor - had a person visit to cut my hair. It was expensive (6 dollars) but it was at my home so I can't complain. I also worked at recovering from the horseback ride with several people inquiring if I was sore - I was happy to say no, just tired. Cycling is good for crosstraining.

Wrote two weeks' worth of lectures, graded 40 quizzes, wrote part of the final exam, designed a study guide for the exam, and prepped for tomorrow's lecture. :cry:Wow; I'd like to be a student for once.
Today was productive ~ organized iTunes library, changed earphone nozzles, did a (approx.) 15 mi ride, waxed Merlin Frame, went food shopping, various bike repairs, assembled grill, cooked dinner, took tylenol :D

Got up early and went for a 30-miler (third day in a row, my leggggsss!), pulled some weeds, watched a movie....all with my sweet bf, before sending him back home for the week. Friday is going to be a long time in coming!

Ohhh- I thought you were working on this stuff all weekend. Hokay- I don't feel so bad now :p. I think the comps are going to have to wait a day, though.:(

woke up, putz'd around, went to her place for a hike & lunch, went to work, made a good dinner, back to putzing around before beds.

Was sposed to do a 30 miler with wife ,ate a big lunch instead and bagged that idea. Borrowed a friends dump truck to get 15 yards of mulch and mulched our entire property in 1 day( which is like doing a century)

Cut out clock parts, and went to see Spidy III (passing grade, but barely) with friends.

Rode between thunderstorms, sealed the seams on my tent, getting ready to go back up to the UP this weekend.....little things like that!
