Dirtyhip Posted March 6, 2015 Share #2 Posted March 6, 2015 Saturday, mountainbike ride in the park, and an afternoon at the pump track. We have some mods to do on the track we built last season and the old track is dry, so some pumps are in order.Sunday I have a challenging road ride planned. 18 mile climb ... 5000 feet to conquer. Basically,climb a mountain twice in a day. It should rip up my leg muscles quite well. HAHA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted March 6, 2015 Share #5 Posted March 6, 2015 I'm going to do a little computer shopping. My laptop is a few years old and I'm thinking of getting a pc. I have an old Dell that still works but it runs on Windows 98. I have Saturday off work so that will be a good time to do some shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudge ★ Posted March 6, 2015 Share #12 Posted March 6, 2015 UP Builder's Show in Marquette Saturday. On Sunday I have to stick a little glue under the kitchen tiles we put down the other day. The tiles are about 25 years old, so the sticky isn't as good as it seemed. Basically just a putterin' around kind of project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Indy Posted March 6, 2015 Popular Post Share #14 Posted March 6, 2015 Hopefully, having a baby. Though now I'm thinking it would be cool if she could hold off until next Saturday so she could be born on pie day.

jsharr ★ Posted March 6, 2015 Share #18 Posted March 6, 2015 I plan to be crewing on a boat in the Texas Indepence Day Regatta on Lake Ray Hubbard on Saturday and Sunday and then leaving Sunday evening or Monday AM for three days at the ranch owned by the family of that friend of mine. She got sick a year ago today and we were supposed to leave for the ranch the same day. So glad we are all getting back there again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMichael70 Posted March 6, 2015 Share #20 Posted March 6, 2015 Reset clocks is a welcome sign of spring on the way, we should be past the worst part of winter. I usually zero my bike mileage then and with weather warm a outside ride of a few blocks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck to you and your wife, Indy.I actually have no idea what's going on this weekend... my son's Scout outing was postponed and I think that was the only thing on the calendar. A low-key weekend around the house is just what the doctor ordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphie ★ Posted March 7, 2015 Share #31 Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) @ words for you Mr. John…… MacBook A Mac is nice, but it is more satisfying to breath new life into an old laptop with efficient software. Although, I am enjoying my daughter's hand me down MacBook. It is white and heavy as a rock, but also feels solid as a rock! And I don;t get THAT many beachballs. BTW, TY Mr. Kzoo for the tip on the Apple version of the right click. That is like a secret handshake. :D Edited March 7, 2015 by The Inedible Bulk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never had so much fun car shopping as the time my wife and I took her sister car shopping at the height of the economy crash. Car dealers were selling no cars at all. When we pulled up on a car lot the red carpet was rolled out. Everyone was ready to deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't try anything with the old PC with Windows 98 yet. I did go look at some new computers, couldn't make a decision. My laptop has Windows 7 but it tends to overheat with steady use. I was having trouble deciding on a computer so I went to the LBS to look at bikes for my granddaughter. I didn't have any trouble picking out a bicycle that I think she will like. I took a picture of it and will give her the picture inside a birthday card at her surprise party on Saturday. Then I will take her to the LBS and let her pick the one she wants.
