What are you doing right now?

[marcski]

Cleaning up a little before picking up my daughter at preschool and then biking the rail trail with them in tow in the trailer.

Is the semester over or are you on break this week??

I'm eating some breakfast at my desk at work....not really into being here after such an awesome weekend of skiing!!!

Sitting in a meeting that I don't belong in. I got invited by accident and knew there would be a free lunch so I figured what's the harm in going and taking a seat in the back row?

Ha! Neither... I need to be working on papers but I've been slacking a bit. Papers require less time than reading usually, so I have a little more free time--but not as much as I've been taking. Semester ends the week right before Mother's Day.

Back from the rail trail ride. Logged about 7 miles. Trying to get the kids to stop bugging me now so I can get some work done...but I'm not having any success.

I'm feeling really antsy right now. No MTB to ride yet, haven't skied since the 28th of March, no spring skiing since the 21st. Ski season is winding down too quickly and MTB is not starting, I'm going a little crazy here.

BTW - I refuse to even open the Season Wrap-Up thread, to me that's admitting defeat! But at the same time I'm too depressed to open most TRs from this past weekend...

What defeat? I expect lifts to spin for another 4 weeks.

I hope so, that's why I refuse to entertain a thread about wrapping up the season...

Just finished test riding the bike around the yard and then down the church stairs across the street until some lady yelled at me:razz:

I just did the same thing, only now I think I need a new front tire as I noticed some sidewall damage. I also mounted the GoPro on to the handlebar so I can get some test footage going after work tomorrow. If the angles are good, then I'll work on my editing skills.

 

[Warp Daddy]

Just finished a serious guitar workout now getting ready to watch Butler hopefully take the Dookies

So far so good, just need to take it for a ride on the trails.

finally stopped saying "WOW" about 5 minutes after the men's NCAA tourney ended! What a GREAT basketball game!

 

[deadheadskier]

only thing 'great' about that game was that it was close. I love the emotion of college sports, but I find college basketball in particular to be PAINFUL to watch. NO ONE can shoot a lick. The 35 second clock has to go. Each possession tonight was 30 seconds worth of either team jerking off with the basketball only to hoist up a miss. They pass up so many open looks in the college game to try and find a better shot only to have to rush with 5 seconds left on the clock and chuck up a prayer.

I do love the tournament, but from it's really bad basketball. The college womens game is actually a lot better than the mens.

Cursing the rain. There was only supposed to be a "chance" of "showers" this afternoon! Boo! Hiss!

As a former college coach the game has morphed todayinto a sort of "Advanced Intuitive Alley Ball " game where any notion of repeatable discernable patterns have given way to the chaos which now seems to prevail.

The kids today are so much bigger and athletic in every way and , yet the zebras have almost taken the game away by what they no longer call an infraction --pity in this ole coach's opinion .

What results is no longer a dance, it is more likje uncontrollable fury unleashed and smash mouth in the paint . And foul shooting is a lost art . When i coached we seriously drilled that skill at EVERY PRACTICE and at the end of practice they had to make 15 in a row or take laps . My teams shot very well from the FREE throw line and won games as a result that we may not have won otherwise as a result

Call it a pet peeve but it is one of the reasons i no longer enjoy watching EXCEPT in the Final Four .

I did however really enjoy watching Butler in this years tourney --- so close for a small school

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...

Boat in already? Not touching mine for another month. Can't wait to start water skiing.
