You're nuts...

...and you said you didn't want to do cyclocross because you might get hurt......

EDIT: I made the trek in this morning. Funny how I stayed at home during the nice day and picked the bad one to come in on. Happens.

FWIW - people around here can't drive on this stuff. They royally suck. It's Chicago people. It snows every year.

CC you da man!!!

i am sitting in the comforts of home working, sort of working that is.

i am sure the bossman will be looking for me, but i just could not risk another 18 mile 2 hour plus road trip. later.

Well, we got clobbered, and it's still coming down. In about a 1/2 hour, the boys and I are going to shovel the driveway, since I still need to go to my p/t job this afternoon. BTW, my parents went to Marseilles, IL on Wednesday, before heading to Texas. I hope they stay put until some of this blows over.

Suposedly it's done by noon.

After the collossal f'up from the weather guys on the timing for yesterday my wife was positive that they would mis-predict this morning as well.

She got up and went to the window. Looked out. I asked, "how bad is it?" She says, "It's nothing. Maybe an inch. You can still see where we shoveled. Cars are flying by."

I rolled over and reset the alarm thinking I needed less time to get in.

When I got up and looked out I realized she needs new glasses.

Here are some of the funny comments. I got a "loser" form a pick-up truck, a few honking horns (I prefer to think they were saying "way to go"). But the best was this nice lady (fairly cute) sees me cutting through a parking lot and backs up (in a minivan) to ask if she could give me a ride.

I said thanks but I'm doing it for the exercise. She says "way to go" and drives off. Nice lady but she really shouldn't be picking people up off the street. Kind of made my day.

That was my wife. She called me and said you were actually hitting on her and begging for a ride.

Good thing you got out of there before the cops she called showed up....

LOL ... LOL

I thought I saw Kimber rolling behind in my rear view mirror.

To think, i was proud of my self for doing some leg strength exercises yesterday and this ******* is out riding in the snow. How the hell am i suppose to hang onto those Tuesday night rides next year? I can only break so many bike parts as a bailout before i just stop showing up...

LOL timmy, you should have made the party. We had you on the list.

And don't worry, my riding the past few weeks has been ... almost non-existent.

LOL! If her glasses are so bad, maybe she thought it was you

Darn school district was closed today. "Had" to take the day off. Oh, no, now Christmas break starts, and I won't be able to work for 2 weeks. Life is rough sometimes.

So...time to start some serious training. I'm thinking regular 12oz. curling to strengthen my elbows and improve my eye-hand-mouth coordination.
