Morning. The last round of after work social rides is here as it gets dark early. Illegal night riding season is just about to begin.
~~~ Welps!day GMT~~~
- Thread starter StiHacka
- Start date
SerialMidget please take note of an example of a proper GMT title format
- Three or so non alpha-numeric characters surrounding the title. If not three repeating characters it is nice to reverse the order on the epilogue for symmetry
- The day: a whimsical analog to the day is acceptable
- GMT: Self explanatory.
high 50s this morning, nice to be able to open all the windows at night and air the house out. Dropping the new truck off at the shop this afternoon to get the airbags installed on the rear axle.
Mornin'. I just got honked at by an angry driver for running a very very ripe yellow light. ok so maybe it was red by the time I entered the intersection. Problem is, the guy was obviously very angry. He'd been driving next to me for about 5 blocks and wasn't giving any space. Sometimes even creeping into my bike lane (a painted line on the edge of the street) because of parked cars on the other side of the road, or to avoid speed bumps or cracks in the road due to the construction there. It was uncomfortably close. So I made the conscious decision to put some space between myself and this angry person, and he honked at me. Whatever, I don't care. Except some other guy pulls up beside me at the next light to explain why angry dude honked. When I explained (calmly) that it was to put space between myself and an angry driver he understood (I think). I take a detour to be able to ride in this lane to avoid douches in their cars who are in a hurry to get to the next red light. It's annoying when those douches take the small residential street and don't give space to the bikers in the bike lane dedicated to them.
whatever, it's part of life cycling in the "big city", but still, it kinda puts you in a shitty head space to start the day. luckily, I have teh
to say hi to!
Have a good day y'all!

is it beer o'clock yet?
My watch says it is Irish Coffee O'clock.
The sun is over the yardarm *somewhere* in the Empire... drink up!
Mornin!
Rode the spaghetti plop of bike paths in the vicinity of the house last night to figure out where some of them go. Kind of have an idea how but they appear to have multiple legs weaving in and out of various neighborhoods. Gonna take a while to figure out where I'm going for sure.

Now now now...don't be hasty.
I should do something today.
If you haven't already, use Google's My Tracks app to record your route. Super accurate and records the track right over the Google Maps backdrop so its easy to identify real landmarks vs. your route, etc.
Another good morning ride. Having somebody to ride with just makes it so much better and you always end up pushing some more.
On the ride to work a guy called me an asshole. This is the stuff that makes you love living in New York where people can express their opinions freely

Nobody called me an asshole yet so it's a good day! Blasted out a couple hours of mountain biking after work then had beers with some friends. Happy Wednesday!!
'Morning. One hour hard effort run on a hilly route last night. So much sweat! Covered 7.8 miles.
Hmm. I'll check it out. The only issue will be if I can Strava the bike path or not using that.
Wow you went to work, rode bikes and had beer already
I generally all for anarchy, but there are some things that need rules for society to move forward, like traffic rules and GMT thread tittles.
Stayed up all night talking to my buddy who recently joined Skinny Puppy, as their guitarist. He busted his ass, and his first show with them was in front of 50,000 people. We had no shortage of stories and hadn't seen each other much in the last year.
2am bed time. Walking in to a 9am meeting. Not bad for a middle aged quadriplegic.

Finally have Wifey on board to look at 3br houses with better layouts and unfinished basements. Price on those is below or in line with what we can sell our house for. That allows me to put 20% down and walk away with $40-50k of equity, which is more than enough to finish a basement to get the extra 2 rooms that she wants.
Otherwise, one more day solo with Haley. I have decided that the November race is unlikely at this point, so I am focusing on my series 65 for the new job then will be studying for my CRPC (Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor℠).

Why she want all those rooms? She like dustin' shit??
Assuming rd 2 - bedroom for Haley, #2, and us
Bedroom for guests - Not a conversation starter
Office - She works from home and wants a separate office.
And Maria does all of the dusting
Need a place to put all that stuff from the big weekends at Bed Bath and Beyond, if you have enough time.
Sign up for 2016 Ironman Mont-Tremblant. I did.
Is Maria Mexican? If not you know you've made it when you have white people doing your housework.
All Mass state parks have a strict no-access-after-sunset policy. Since all the good trails are in state parks here, night rides are not to be spoken about.
You don't have a kid. I'm nowhere near doing a full IM and don't have the time to spend training for an IM. I have enough issues with finding time of the HIM training.
Take a guess. How many white Maria's are there?
Or a pry bar trying to wrench my crusty underwear apart to wash them.
Took Lucas to his first day of third grade today! My how they grow! Not much else to report! Run or ride tonight! Pretty excited to get there!

Bicycles on dirt soon.
