and congrats on the house! what a great feeling.
as for the weird energy, i thought it was just me and cabin fever after surgery. but life is damn good, feeling...

stupid kirkwood corp. they should just let all the students ski for free. especially the ones asking for feedback that shoot down anything constructive. :rolleyes:

^^that owen kid is way too cute.:)

nope, no calcium pills. just some downtime and lots of ice, elevation and advil (ie R.I.C.E)
the bones dont hurt really. only complaint is that I have a bit of trouble sleeping...legs feel...

raps, it's really no big thing. i just had some hardware taken out of my knee. i was completely under and although it hurt for about 3-4 days, i'm already appreciating the comfort of no longer having...

holy sausage fest at the lake, batman!

why wasn't I invited again?:wink:

boo to kanye. he sucks.

and all he does is bitch about not getting awards. :rolleyes:

or you could always come sample some of our nice hills oer here in Berkeley! :biggrin: good for the quads. good for the soul. :eek:

good idea, walt.

so how YOU doin'? :wink:

we gotta road bike soon! Moss Beach to pescadero and back, baby!! that's a good 70 miles! I'll be good to go in about 3 weeks. Gimme a ring!

sorry to hear about your situation, Lon. That sucks.
I guess you're gonna have to wait either way, from how you've described it. Maybe you should go private and wait only 2 months rather than 8?
...

congrats plake!
so glad to hear you are back home. that's so great! we're all thinking about ya back here in CA.
enjoy being back home again!

ok Barry!
So, are you gonna use that for the next race in Oct? Did you decide on the 8 hour for sure?
I am so in for next year!!!

thats great to hear henkka! glad you are doing so well!! thanks for checking in!
yeah, climbing will not be for a while for moi, but it will be one day. i do not plan to go in for a 4th knee surgery...

Today was a great day.

Got some painful hardware removed finally, bringing this ACL-redo drama closer to the end. It had been many weeks of discomfort due to a few screws that had decided to...

After doing the 24 Hour Relay For Life in Tahoe last month, WaterSnowDirt and the gang were pumped for more all-nighters. So Darwin’s Darling (infrequent poster) decided to sign us all up for the “24...

tyrone: camera(s) for unflattering candid shots ...check!
wsd: you riding at least one lap...check!
me: heading up the drink pouring/tasting committee...double check! ...one for you, 2 for me, 2...

um, I'm not complaining about any shortage of athletes here, Nate. But for what it's worth, some of us can afford to be picky.

oh, and let me throw in a :wink: to make it seem witty.

i guess it takes one to know one.:rolleyes2
:wink:

actually, i think the problem is they make more money and have more power than the guys they date...and the guys just cant handle it.

sheskis,
you're right...and it goes both ways..
believe it or not, its tough to find single guys that ski (and are otherwise cool). so many people say they ski, but what they mean is, they've been...

'cause they've exhausted the friend-of-friend network and are looking to expand their horizons. They won't be looking there long given the stories they've got!

soemone should write a book.

i dunno, depends on where you live. most of my late 20s, early 30s friends hear no clock ticking, are super smart/entertaining, and rip up the mtn. They arent looking to have kids anytime soon. And...

that's Dr. SNOWtigress to you, Laces. :biggrin:

Man...I thought we were friends! :wink:

Good luck on your race buddy!
