Already taught 2 classes and have one more before the weekend. Heading out to see Clash of the Titans tonight in 3-D followed by Sugarloaf tomorrow. My concentration is not at all on working.

Went out with my brother for his birthday last night. Let's just say that things seem to be moving in slow-motion today...

You are describing last Sunday after Bear Mountain Mogul Challenge. I finally managed to rally at noon, rode up the K1, and nursed a Bloody Mary at the Killington Peak bar until 2:45. Does one run count as a ski day?

What was the final outcome, the rear brake just shit the bed?

Right rear caliper locked up, then on the way home the brake line snapped off the caliper (don't ask). I replaced the caliper and the line yesterday, along with pads and rotors all the way around. I ran into a few obstacles that ended up making the job take the entire day... Great way to spend a perfect day, in the garage...

Coffee loading, then off to clean out the garage.

I intended to do a little of that after working on my car yesterday. Unfortunately by the time I was done I was too tired (and sick of being in the garage) to even finish picking up the new mess I made. So I went backwards... :-?

That's kinda funny. I have no choice..I have to get this done today. It's horrible in my garage right now. I don't know why, but I have this awful habit of not fully recycling cardboard in the winter time do to just overall being busier in the winter months. It's not like I don't put anything out, just not stuff that requires any sort of effort or breaking down. :roll:

It looks like my front tire of my bike went flat over the winter, the back one is just soft. Oh yeah, the GoPro and the 16GB card came in yesterday, so I'm super itching to get it mounted on my bike today. I already put one of the mounts on my helmet. I'd love to the angles dialed in today if I have time.

My garage is beyond horrible, and has been for some time. Overall it's gotten much better in the last few years, but is starting to relapse a bit. Way to many parts and crap from past interest in Jeeps and other cars that I can't bring myself to just throw out, but haven't quite gotten to making a big effort to sell either. :roll: I know exactly what you mean about the cardboard, I have a habit of leaving it by the recycling bin, which of course means that it gets wet and soggy...

Let us know how the GoPro works out, I've been kinda looking at those too. Can't really justify it right now, but they look pretty good and aren't too expensive. Where do you plan on mounting it?

BTW - if it makes you feel better; not only do I have a flat tire on the rear of my bike, but that tire is on a wheel with a blown freehub, and I think there's a hole in the sidewall. The front wheel is tireless and won't spin since it's a non-disc wheel and hits the caliper, it's just on there to hold the bike up while I wait for my wheel to come back from warranty... I REALLY want to get that wheel back so I can put the bike back together!

Back to reality. Helluva weekend. Friends and cocktails and warm weather.

#3 son wakeboarded yesterday. Started from the dock and ended on the dock. Never got wet.

And so it begins...
