No ridey for me this weekend... kid stuff to do.. ball game Saturday morning, Banquet Saturday afternoon... Next weekend out too... Going to Florida.. just south of Kissimee(sp).. place called River Ranch or something... Gonna be lots of FAST boats...
I think I'm out of the riding game for a bit too. My front tire has 8k hard miles on it. It's cupping so bad it's almost turning inside out. The problem is I'm way to cheap to buy another one.
Happy with it? other than the schedule?
According to a news report, a certain school in Garden City, MI was recently faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the washroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.
Every night, the maintenance man would remove them and the next day the girls would put them back. Finally the principal decided that something had to be done. He called all the girls to the washroom and met them there with the maintenance man. He explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night. To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, he asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it. Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.

A young cowboy walks into a seedy cafe in Fort Pierre, South Dakota He sits at the counter and notices an old cowboy with his arms folded staring blankly at a full bowl of chilli. After fifteen minutes of just sitting there staring at it, the young cowboy bravely asks the old cowpoke,
"If you ain't gonna eat that, mind if I do?"
The older cowboy slowly turns his head toward the young wrangler and in his best cowboy manner says, "Nah, go ahead."
Eagerly, the young cowboy reaches over and slides the bowl over to his place and starts spooning it in with delight.
He gets almost down to the bottom and notices a dead mouse in the chili.
The sight was shocking, and he immediately pukes up the chili, back into the bowl.
The old cowboy quietly says, "Yep, that's as far as I got, too."

On the first day of the new school year, the sophomore English class had a new, very stern, teacher.
A hush fell over the room as the teacher panned his gaze across all the kids.
Finally, he spoke.
"There are two words that are unacceptable in my class, either orally or in your homework, papers, or tests. Use these words even once and your grade will be lowered one full letter. The first one is 'gross,' and the other is 'cool.' Are there any questions?"
One gawky teen raised his hand.
"Yes?" said the new teacher.
The teen asked, "So? What are the two words?"
