June 4, 201115 yr i went on a brisk 6 mile hike around town, earlier, to start breaking my boots in and get into a little better shape for backpacking. i would have gone further, but it's just so fucking hot. Exercise?! What's going on?! Good for you!
June 4, 201115 yr Sitting in the garage, door open, watching a massive and sometimes scary thunderstorm while drinking sangria. And now there's hail. Wild one. Edited June 4, 201115 yr by Absorbine_Sr
June 4, 201115 yr Mike Sr ... hail calls for something much stronger than sangria ... time to switch to some double ipa, stout, or porter. Just avoid cocktails - they make you crazy, especially in a downpour with falling ice cubes.

June 4, 201115 yr thanks! i've been doing 3 or 4 miles two or three times a week, for a while now. as soon as i figure out where to put it, i'm going to take my mother's Airdyne, which she doesn't use anymore. Nice. I have a stationary bike in my basement, where my speakers are. Listening to good music, I can fire off 30 minutes of cardio in the morning before the kids wake up, while surfing and emailing on the ipad. It's not in the acoustic sweet spot, but it's not bad at all, and a good CD sure makes it easier to exercise! Oh, and Mike, watched the same storm pass by us. Pretty impressive!

June 4, 201115 yr Picked up the Roubaix from the bike shop and figured the only appropriate thing would be to ride it the 6 miles home. I think I'm going to like this bike.
June 4, 201115 yr Jacob, the Airdyne is the hardest cardio machine I've ever tried. At Crossfit on Thursday, as part of the WOD, we had to do five rounds of 20-second sprints with two minute rests in between. By the last one, I wasn't sure I was going to make it my car without getting sick. It's a killer machine.
June 4, 201115 yr Finished Spartan Race in Tuxedo, NY. It was much tougher than I thought it would be. I figured it would be like Warrior Dash which I did last year, but it was much more difficult. It took me more than twice the time to cover the same distance.

That sounds like an interesting bike. I once purchased a new riding mower and didn't have any way to haul it. So I rode it about 2 miles home.
June 5, 201115 yr Came to a verbal agreement today to rent a 2 BR apartment in a 100 ranch house. There are 3 apts in the house and my best friend's son-in-law will be taking another one of them. We'll sublet the 3rd apt. It's on 80 acres just north of SB. It's wonderfully quiet and scenic. Best of all, this means I will be able to stay in SB a little longer.
June 5, 201115 yr Digger, I seen people like you when I drive to small town Wisconsin to visit my in-laws. Always wondered what that was about! Edited June 5, 201115 yr by jvlgato

June 5, 201115 yr Had a fairly long talk with my mom about politics, religion, society, culture, etc until it got thoroughly derailed when I heard the Mass Effect 2 trailer music used for some commercial involving Twilight, which prompted an epic off-topic rant.
June 5, 201115 yr Got married (yesterday) and had a really great party today with this amazing band http://www.pangeans.com/video.htm
June 5, 201115 yr Great ken! Moar meets and lunches! Thanks all. This means definitely more meets and lunches. Ken, does that mean I miss your house selling? Congratulations! Unfortunately you've missed nothing. The house has not yet sold. With 7 animals, I can't let a chance like this pass. Almost nobody would rent to me. Also it may help to sell with the animals and I living elsewhere. It will sell and I can afford (barely) to carry both for a while.
June 5, 201115 yr Congratulations on finding a solution Ken. And big congratulations on the nuptials diebenkorn. Edited June 5, 201115 yr by Dreadhead
