Hope you're not too hurt. Can't wait to see the video.

I'll post it for you Root, saw you had it on FB.

I love the slow-mo!
Ha ha ha, I'm glad everyone enjoyed that one. Not too hurt, but I do feel like I hit a log. I don't know what happened there, I cleared 3-4 logs that size previously. Oh well, I has hoping for an excuse to play around with making the slow motion work. All the video was recorded at 720P 60fps. The slow motion portion is played back at 30fps (effectively slowing everything down).

I just finished editing together a 10 minute video of the rest of the day and that's uploading now. I'll post that up as a TR.

Actually did something similar today.... almost a complete flip and didn't even come out of the pedals.

Yeah, I went OTB on a stupid little root today. I did come out of the pedals though, landed on a bunch of rocks too...

I think the best part is that after he stops dead you see his head come into the picture at the top of the screen and then the feet dangling everywhere:lol:

Yeah, I laughed pretty hard when I watched it the 1st time.

Eh, just need to take some vitamin & wash it down with a beer.
That vid is so cool!
Wait until you see the longer one!

Root, that video is great. Hope you are all right.

Currently sitting covering a study hall preparing for a week long trip to D.C. chaperoning 50 middle school kids. :puke:

Dreading losing the my Pacifica company car since it has about 171k miles and needs about $2 worth of work in favor a an option-less dodge caravan. The only upside is it is still a company car and doesn't cost me anything.

They fixed it, I guess they figured it was cheaper than buying a new vehicle since the van is used deliveries quite a bit.

Yay!!! :D

Making dinner. Trying to convince myself to go to the gym tonight. I really need to do some strength training and I haven't in too many weeks now.

Jack... Confused between revenge and whats right... May ultimately be both the same thing...

There's gotta be a big spin/twist coming from that ending last night (especially with 4 hours still to go). That being said, I thought that it was one kick a$$ Jack Bauer moment!

Home from a "lovely" day of dental politics @ The Mohegan Sun :rolleyes: Wishing I had decided to NOT work tommorrow AM before heading back down to The Mohegan Sun tommorrow night for a big party associated with my state dental associations annual meeting going on there through Friday. The idea of sitting at the bar at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville and polishing off a few "fortified" Corona's this evening before stumbling up the elevators there sounds much better right about now than hitting the office for a morning of fun tommorrow :rolleyes:

Enjoying this:

Chocolate-Strawberry Smoothie
Blend 1/2 c fat-free or soy milk, 6 oz fat-free vanilla yogurt, and 1 c frozen strawberries for 1 minute. Transfer to glass, stir in 1/4 c semisweet chocolate chips, and eat with a spoon. Total Calories = 387

Except I chopped up the chocolate chips in the smoothie. YUM. I should be studying... I have to at least memorize all the internment camps for my exam tonight for Japanese Americans and World War II.

Wishing my son would quit his tantrum. Found him in the road in front of the house on his bike...with all the other older kids watching him and not saying anything. Bike is taken away: he's throwing a massive tantrum that I'm sure the whole neighborhood can hear. Kids... I must have taken him out of the front yard a dozen times this week alone.
