What are you doing this weekend?

Tomorrow I have to clean out my completely filled garage to make room for something. So fun since it will be 105 tomorrow and our garage acts like an oven. Then Sunday we are going for a morning ride through the Hill Country followed by a big family get together dinner. I wonder when I will get a weekend of doing nothing but sitting! I welcome it.

Dean, since we're all jealous of your weekend (especially Saturday), I won't even mention that I'm going to head out for a nice long ride tomorrow and get a shorter recovery ride in on Sunday. I also won't say that after my ride tomorrow, I plan on relaxing and not doing much of anything, other than enjoying some nice Belgian brews I have in the fridge.

Working on Saturday as usual and then going to a party at a friends house. I have my daughter this weekend, so we'll probably go riding or play in the river on Sunday.

Oh no you don't get off that easy Dean. You say you are cleaning out your completely filled garage to make room for something, then you don't tell us the cool new addition.
1. Ferrari
2. Lambo
3. Turning your garage into a mancave with pool table, 7 to 10 kegerators, dartboard, wet bar, big screen and hot tub full of bikini clad women.
4. Jetboat
5. Turning your garage into the ultimate shop to build jeeps in.
6. Making room for the wife's car.


Please say it isn't #6

My weekend, lying around the house. The wife went up to MD to visit our oldest daughter. I am home alone and lazy.

You have to go up in order to come down. Why is the up part always so steep?

C'mon, Grape Ape, Dean scoffs at such cheap pieces of Italian trash. This is what he's really making room for.

tomorrow I'm sleeping in, having lunch with my family for my sister's birthday, and then giving my bike a thorough bath that it desperately needs. On Sunday I'm brewing some oatmeal stout

Only 2-1/2 hours to go 'till the weekend. It's 82 and mostly sunny. I may be able to fit in a short ride after work. Sweeeeeeet!

It's raining, so I guess I need to get some writing done. I've also got oak flooring to restore.

Don't be jealous.

Not gonna lie to my TwoSpoke peeps. Rode 70 miles out and back, half of which was straight into a nasty headwind. Made me feel like Lance on the way back though.

Not sure which was harder, riding some of the hills I did today or picking out a beer from these:

Went with the Kasteel. Big fruit (especially raisen) and large amounts of dark candy sugar. Great after dinner selection. Just gotta be careful b/c it's 11%!
