n_maher Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Nice nate! I got in about 35 miles myself Sweet. It was fun trying out the new Garmin Edge 500 that I got from Santa, works very well and is super easy to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I remember how nice those relatively balmy days in the middle of winter can be, though in Anchorage 50 degrees would be unheard of this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aimless1 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 We're under a winter storm warning tonight expecting 6-12 inches of snow. Day was in the 40s with wind gusts 25-30 mph. Picked up our new puppy yesterday and surprisingly, he slept through the night without an accident. Not counting on that to continue but would be nice if it did. None of the names on our short list fit so still no name. He's a handsome little guy with obvious potential to be a great hunting companion.

It's unheard of here too. Global warming in full effect so far this year. We basically had zero snow in December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 It's unheard of here too. Global warming in full effect so far this year. We basically had zero snow in December. Not that I'm complaining about the lack of snow thus far (I neither ski nor snowboard) but it does make me bit worried for the rest of the season.

Pars Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) It's January 1st, 50 degrees, there's no snow and I have a new bike computer. So I went for a ride. Nice Nate! and Chris! I was hoping to get in a ride either Friday or Saturday but the weather didn't cooperate, and I am just starting to get over a bad chest cold, so really didn't feel up to it anyhow. Today just sucks weather-wise, much like I am guessing Aimless1 is going thru. Edited January 2, 2012 by Pars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skullguise Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Yea.....I like the offset that the black does to the light wood elsewhere..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augsburger Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I approve. Good choice contrasting the light honeyed wood with the black and doing it with the correct pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzziguy Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I like the black too. Though the place would look better with the pole in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wmcmanus Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I shaved my beard and mustache off the other day, and got my first haircut in over a year as well. It's now just finger high and a blend of dark roots coming in and the bleached remains at the tips. Here are a sample of the comments I've received during the past couple of days: "Wow! You look gay..." "You would fit right in at South Beach!" "I never knew." "Faggot!" The first three came from family members and friends who were just giving me a hard time. But the "faggot" comment came from some stranger at O'Hare who stopped me in the middle of this huge tunnel between the parking lot and terminals. He was kind of a green tooth looking type and started in on how his car got towed above, and I really didn't have the time nor patience for him, so I kind of shushed him and waved him off, while turning and walking away at the same time. He then got all pissed, and said, "Wow! You're really doing that. Walking away while I'm in mid-sentence." So I just kept walking and then I heard him saying, "Asshole!" Then a few steps later, "Faggot!" Too funny. As I know I'll get a lot of "Worthless without pics!" comments if I don't include a pic, here I am with one of my nieces. The Santa glasses now look like bottom glasses. Need to ditch those as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Yay. How'd you manage to 'shop out the stripper / pole from its base in front of the couch? He had it installed in the bedroom, not the main room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augsburger Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Aww, I miss Santa. Nice job, and I am glad to see you seemed to survive that unbelieveable schedule Wayne. Happy New Year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDen Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) spent an hour painting the bar almost black with some paint i already had. yay/nay? and those are BHSE parts everywhere. Nice, but I'd prefer a darker wood? If you need help storing those BHSE parts let me know Edited January 2, 2012 by HDen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmcmanus Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Aww, I miss Santa. Nice job, and I am glad to see you seemed to survive that unbelieveable schedule Wayne. Happy New Year! Oh, don't worry. Santa is coming back! Just had to scrap my beard because of all of the bleaching damage... pushed way too hard in October, causing a lot of breakage, so this year I'll start bleaching much earlier and will reduce both the frequency and intensity of bleaching sessions.

The Monkey Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Justin, I like but don't love the black bar. It would be interesting to see a lighter accent color. Perhaps the blue or green in that throw pillow? Or even the grays in the pilow/rug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) Love the Black Justin. I think painting the kitchen cabinet wall a light Gray might set it off even better, or a lighter hue of that ottoman. Also love the industrial bar stools. Wayne, back in the day I had my hair every color and style imaginable, as my good friend was a renowned stylist in town. Also I got very into forward fashion ATT, think Claude Montana & Thierry Mugler. A hoop earring in each ear added to the overall statement. So I received comments like those you received all the time. I'd usually reply something like "Hey sweetie, isn't gaydar great, so guys like you and I can recognize each other." I admit that at times it did hurt, but like anything, you grow immune after a while. Of coarse I WAS gay. It must be a whole new feeling to hear that and be straight. BTW, your Niece is adorable!
