Going Long and Hard.

Great to hear you are out and moving! Down time can certainly rearrange your outlook on life. I hope you can can find some good in it, maybe even catch up on things that you may not normally take the time to do.
 
More adventure...

Yesterday, I got out to Tarjay and got me a Rubik's cube!! Fun!! I also got a million piece puzzle, should keep me entertained for a bit:hmmm:

Today I walked to the Stop n' Shop to pick up some poop. On the trip home my bag digging into my bad shoulder started to feel bad. Very bad. And not good either. It may sound silly, but my hour+ walk had me shot when I got home and I fell asleep for 2 hours!!

After my nap I was goofing around on youtube and confirmed Protest the Hero as one of my top 5 favorite bands of all time, I pre-ordered the new CD/DVD off their site, for $25 you get a shirt, CD, DVD, and signed poster...Rock on!!

Dude, I was serious when I said I bought you one! Now what am I going to do with this thing?

Ah, that's progress. Arm strength to throw!

And this thing has a "hints" booklet. I could just give you a small screwdriver.
 
Alright I just added their discography to my ipod. If I start wearing girls pants someone kill me, and then venge my death and kill Jim 🙂
 
No way...They ROCK!! The new album comes with an instrumental version of the CD, it's always in my Ipod during training rides!! This video from their first album is what got me hooked and they've quickly bumped their way to one of my all-time favorites...

PTH...

About 4 years ago my GF left me a phone message of her playing BTAM on the guitar for my birthday 😀
I've been diggin them for along time, I hear they suck live though.
I like meshuggah sometimes too. Candiria is awesome. I've seen E-Town at least 10 times. My brother was in love with them and I took him to every show for like 3 years.

I actually sent my brother a link to that PTH video and he confirmed that he's already into them. Which makes me nervous, he has a mac and works at starbucks.

You'll be fine as long as you don't buy a rigid SS 29er😉

Did you watch Colbert last night? He had a skit with a road biker and Colbert was making fun of his tights. It was awesome.
 
H2H Series...

So I'm going through to see if it's possible to keep a podium spot in the series without racing anymore this season. I'm currently in the lead. After 2 drops I could still be on the podium. I may have to show up to one race and just ride/walk around to get myself 120 points and not completely trash my season. I think JH will be the easiest. I'll have 5 weeks of PT in me by then so I should be able to sit on the bike at least:hmmm:

You get 60 points for a DNF. Sign up, line up, then roll from the start line to your car. I'd still say JH because it's pavement and pretty close 🙂

Hey check it out, I'm in first place too!

It's 120 points to finish, even if you finish DFL. If I show up, I'm doing 3 laps, even if I have to walk😀
