Dragons are F'ing Awesome

Well his voice doesn't appeal to everyone and you may not want to kiss the guy but you can't say the guy can't play bass. That's just crazyness.
 
Lou if you shave your legs I'll unfriend you. I'm pretty sure you don't have much hair on your legs though... I'm not sure how I know this but I feel like this has been brought up before.

Men should have hairy legs & a beard. Manly things. Dirty hands and a greasy shirt and work boots. Seriously, why the hell do you men shave your legs? You know how annoying shaving your legs is? It takes up so much time in the shower and it grows back in like 2 seconds. Especially when it's cold out and you get goosebumps and BAM shit is right back there before you even leave the shower.

This is just something I will never understand

how do you feel about mustaches?

Megatron has responded to my leg shaving with growing a mustache.

Crazy, yes. But also true. John Myung he is not.

Riding bikes!

I've ridden every day but 1 since 2/14. Valentine's Day. Isn't that sweet? My girl motivates me to ride. She does, it's really nice. Have to say that's a new thing for me, having someone encourage you to do something you enjoy. So some highlights right now...

* I've done 14 rides in the first 13 days of the month. Aiming for all 31.
* Got my first KOM yesterday of the year
* Last week I rode 12:53, which is the second most since Jan 1 of last year.
* I started doing intervals

On her side, today will be her 7th day in a row and 11th ride of the month. Last year she rode 0 miles through March. Right now she's up to 388.1 miles. By the end of the month she'll be over 500 and well on her way to that 3000 mile goal I set in front of her.

I'm not going to list out all the shit I've been doing. Been riding a lot, trying to get back into the groove. It's working, but I'm tired. This is expected.

We did a big team ride last Saturday and Lou ran into someone and never made it. We all know this already though. Andy joined and was nervous about the 3 hours but she did really well and is going to be too fast for me to say I'm on recovery rides with her for much longer.

Life is good. I'm tired. Still as happy as ever. Just thought I'd let you all know.

Had J last night. She's a bit sick but was ok this morning so I took her to school. I have her this weekend. This weekend is going to be crazy busy. That's good for her, because she loves doing things. Just need to make sure I sleep enough, which of course we never do. Oh well, life is for living. I'm guilty of that these days.

Other Random Things

* Jake says Bill & I owe someone an apology. I'll let him clarify.
* Thanks Pearl for the Bacon Pancakes
* To Mandi - I don't know why men shave their legs. I did it once to raise money for the site and it was really a chore, to say the least.
* In case you missed it, G points out this incredible song where Thom Yorke & PJ Harvey make music together: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bH2I9fJ0ALk (click and listen, not a video). This song is AWESOME!
* I found this surfing YouTube from the Bacon Pancakes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7jtpy0lfBU
* I listened to Rush a lot when I was younger. I liked them but I can't say their a band I listen to much now. I can't put them in a top 10 list for sure.
* I'm going to try to develop a Recovery program to help athletes track when they are tired and need rest. Eric O pointed me in this direction and I'm interested in exploring this. I need some volunteers. Raise your hand if you're interested.

Man, pictures from the selfie camera look like garbage blown up like that. If she was nervous it didnt show, she hung like a champ. Chocolate chip pancakes > all and may just be the best single food item ever. That's all I got.
 
Funny you mentioned the tired thing. I was gonna text you something similar because i had a real sluggish start today and normally contribute to eats leading up. But i doubt last nights grilled chicken salad from enzos was the culprit. True my milage has increased so i am sure i am due for some rest especially when look at my strava monthly charts. What i need to figure out is when to dial it in right for upcoming races. Once those 2 are over it's gonna be all downhill from there literally : )

#6 - but we already knew this

I often wonder what Fugazi we would have had if they did sign with a major label. I love the tortured artist, but damn, people were throwing money at them. The prodcution possibilities are endless.

One geddy Lee comment - plays bass, sings and pedals all simultaneously - the guy has to get some credit. RaRHoF this year for Rush, Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins to induct them.

Nice job on the landlord....gotta hate those emails...

trips-for-kids could use some funds - can we get Mandi to shave your legs? Probably pay for the trailer!

Noticed Andy has a nice collections of cred. That's indicative.....well done!

On mainstream rock:

If the swearing was limited, and the words were understandable, it could be turned up without the parents complaining (too much) - so big ten inch was ok, but anything by pantera/motorhead..., well. so in the typical rebellious mode we must all assume, anything the 'rents liked became dust in the wind...and that embraced was born of fire.

Just wanted to let you all know that I'm still here, riding my bike. I rode every day in March, plus 2 extra rides. Something like 31 days, 33 rides, 44 hours, and 690 miles.

I beat Kevin in the March contest. He mad.

My good PM does not work.

My less good PM works but I blew a spoke last night and it wobbles like Jake on a Saturday night.

I have ridden 47 times since Feb 14th, taking only 1 day off. I want to keep riding until I just don't feel like it. Not today. Today I plan on riding with the HG shop ride. I expect to get dropped on the A ride.

My legs are coming around, but not there yet.

I ate a pesto chicken salad for lunch. It was incredibly good.

We had potato-cheese pancakes last night that were awesome. Utah would have loved them.

This thread is still on. I'm just taking a break.

I didn't really do this ride yesterday, but it was fun writing it up:
http://normbrero.blogspot.com/2013/04/an-epic-april-start.html

Josh at work brought in chocolate. I shouldn't be eating it but that damn bunny rabbit is just staring at me saying, "EAT ME!"

So I ate it.

I'm taking my eggs Benedict on the road this weekend.

I want another chocolate rabbit. But I'll never fit into that bikini if I do that.

If you've never had a good homemade paella you're missing out. Ditto with potato-cheese pancakes.

Ok I have a meeting now.
 
I ain't even mad, I didn't contest daves final score but it didn't add up in any version of the rules, so who knows. I will say the streak bonus is crap, crap I say!

there was a method to my madness! those moveable days can SAD.

i have eaten my body weight in chocolate the past couple days. last night i took one of the chocolate bunnies that was lying around, dipped it into a jar of peanut butter and ate it while i was reading norm's AFD ride post. i felt meh so i passed on riding in the cold last night. eating chocolate mammals was a nice alternative.

I am so hungry I am ready to gnaw on my laptop. Someone said drink water. I am now bloated but it don't help.
 
You cut me deep, Dave.

I think I ate ate weight in choc since Sunday. This is why we ride, right?
