Since I'm fighting off pneumonia I won't get grumpy my phone didn't ring.

House needs a new AC/Furnace unit, quoted crazy money. got 4 more quotes until found a common number that is doable if I sell most likely the two bikes I own. Both bad ass IF's one brand fucking new and tits awesome the other just as bad ass, but not brand new.

Yeah I know shit happens and someday i will be able to swing another awesome IF, but I just don't make much. Wife, kids and all.

People who know this are offering me peanuts trying to get themselves a deal. I understand it, but it still pisses me off. Offering half or less. I don't know why, but that shit bugs.

ok push ups coming.

Still the weekend but....

In the Whole Foods this morning, and I see some guy clickety clacking around inside the store with his rad bicycle, earbuds!, team kit, compression calves... duchy. Totally in the way of shoppers and stockers.
Is the bike rack outside not good enough?
Is this something people do now? Please stop. Your duchiness reflects poorly on the rest of us.

I'm doing a few pushups to make up for you LOSERS who break the rules...and a few for me 'cause it's almost Thursday.

Saying it with a video as told by my brother in spirit Frank. If you've been assaulted by nuclear mega-death stankfoot this resonates >>>>>

I take my post big mid season race down time rest week off the bike thingy and then get sick and end up having two weeks off the bike and still not well. At least I was sick after the event. ok .........18, 19, 20!

Its not quite Thursday.

I can't do push ups.

[Jonathan]

I'm pissed off that no matter what I come up with this week; compared to chase I've got shit to be grumpy about.

Heal well man.

I was being cheeky.

I'll heal completely.

Probably still won't be able to do a push-up.

[spopepro]

I can't do pushups either.

Got doored in Jan. The broken clavicle is healed, but shoulder appears to still be jacked. I see the orthopedic surgeon Monday. This is looking like the 4th consecutive season I'll be sidelined by injury. 3 of which were due to getting hit by cars.

Left my shoes and helmet out on the deck last night.

Made a wrong turn on a new 2-hour route to work today - turned my ride into 2:30 and got to work late (later than my normal late).

Actually this should be the anti-grump thread - I feel awesome. Every day should start like this.

People who mistake a lack of courtesy for a show of strength. That cone says "Park your bike here."

Citi keeps sending us credit card applications. I shred them without opening them. The one we received yesterday was folded around a gratuitous piece of frickin' heavy duty card stock so I HAD to open it in order to run it all through the shredder. Fuck you Citi. I am going out and buying a new heavier duty shredder. Maybe a wood chipper. Dynamite.

Doing my pushups now. What you do is put a chunk of scrap metal inside the free return envelope and freely return the envelope. Makes you feel better and generates revenue for the US Post Office. Win-win.

Okay, a bit long maybe...

Wife and I are texting back and forth on Monday about the house project (living room flooring). She calls me, all excited. Seems her grandfather in Illinois sold his house, and is otherwise doing quite well financially (though his health is declining -- bound to happen at 96), so he's decided to share the proceeds of the house sale with his child, grandchildren (my wife), their spouses, and great grandchildren. To the tune of a tidy sum (the IRS max for a gift in one year) EACH. I'm truly appreciative, but certainly don't feel any kind of entitlement to that money.

Anyway, that call came at 1:30. I was done at work at 2:30, and home by 3:30. Two frickin' hours later. She sits down on the couch and lists off the things she wants to do with the money. ALL of it.

Not that I so much had a problem with any of the things she wanted to do, just that she basically claimed it all within 2 hours of even finding out it's coming -- and mind you, we have nothing in hand yet.

She did the same thing with both the tax refund and the money from the sale of my Cross Check...

Open it. Put everything in the return envelope provided. Send it all back to them blank.

They have to pay the postage for that.

In my small town we have one hardware store, and living in the elements like we do it, the shop is busy non stop. That's great, they have tons of cool stuff. But the parking lot is small, last week someone must have had wood hanging over the tailgate of their truck and hit the rear window of my cap, shattering it. No note... Cap company wants $600 for a new window. Local glass place is doing it for $130. Still a pain in the neck.

Meh, cool be worse.

I have about 50 square feet of grass for a front yard. Every other week some shithead neighbor is too lazy to pick up their dog's shit. We leave in the city, everyone carries a bag with them. PICK UP AFTER YOUR FUCKING ANIMAL. I won't kick the dog, but if I catch you, it sure will feel good to throw that shit on you!
