Ok . Sure. Brag about your nice weather! I'm thinking I'll try to tough it up and go out on the roads unless there is ice. Then someone tells me we're supposed to have Lots and Lots of snow this year. Great

feel the need to post

Due to the recent decline in "posts" I felt the need to post!
My reason for lack of posting is....well less stuff that I read I feel I can reply to or add to ...thus the lack of posting makes me post less.
The other reason...I seem to "view" TE at work. AND I am TRYING hard NOT to get on TE at work and to really get my work done. I actually do a great job multitasking...but my boss and workplace would probably frown on this!
Weather her in FL is awesome. One of the best times of the year. I have "spring fever" and WISH I was not working and could be outside being active. And I will be....this weekend.

My first thought after reading BleekerStGirls post (about food and emotional stuff) was snowshoeing...But I see Grog beat me to it. I txt'd my biking partner this morning that I wished it would hurry up and snow so I could snowshoe just once...i'm starting to have some withdrawal from that...sorry this is sort of a thread hijack...
It was too chilly to bike today...even though the sun is out, its 50 but breezy. I would go out if it wasn't for that darned breeze...

Jiffer,
There's actually a very simple explanation for the decline in posts:
I have been posting more often, and I'm a known thread killer. Sorry 'bout that.

I want to try this snowshoeing or cross country skiing stuff one day. Don't think it will happen unless I decide to take a winter vacation.
It looks kind of interesting though. I will just be watching leaves die but not in a glorious way and waiting for toobing weather to come back in April.

Tell me about it- I have staked out some beautiful rolling fields and trails for snowshoeing this winter- but last winter we only had one deep snowfall! The rest were too wimpy for shoeing. I have to prove to my husband that it was worth it buying us snowshoes! Originally Posted by shellyj

Pffffttt!!!!! It was 40 and sunny and quite WINDY today... and I had the most WONDERFUL brisk 10 mile ride this morning! golden and red leaves flying through the air....It was too chilly to bike today...even though the sun is out, its 50 but breezy. I would go out if it wasn't for that darned breeze... 'Too chilly' is more like 20F, not 50! All you need is a bowl of hot oatmeal and some proper clothes, girl!

Alternatively, we could have lively discussions about riding in our trainers....

Oh don't worry. We will.
Actually, I think the decline is that we have asked and answered all of the questions.

Oh my gosh surely we aren't out of questions! I am mountain biking all weekend, I am sure I can come up with something. I will think of something stupid and bike related soon.
BTW- the health issues area is booming. Maybe we are all banged up or ill? That is kind of sad.
It hasn't gotten cold enough yet for everyone to start complaining. We are just in a lull waiting to whine.

I really like snowshoeing, but I have to drive somewhere to do it. I can ride my bike from my house, although the county road commission is "fixing" roads before the onslaught of winter. They've ruined almost all the roads we like to ride on.

Oh yeah, I have had a pretty nasty cold, but I've found that all the cold medicine I've been taking has had a performance enhancing effect. I'm an animal!

I haven't been posting, or riding, much. Given the state of the economy I should be grateful, and I suppose I am, but I am CRAZY BUSY right now. It is insane. New mediation cases coming in (yay!) and I just got roped into a landslide case with a January 5 trial date. I'm essentially self employed: What I earn is based on how much I work. This will be a good year. (Hope to dig myself out of the hole of the last few years... )

This made me laugh because my home office doesn't really have heat (and I am being too cheap to use the space heater), and it gets REALLY cold and I find myself making lots of typos - basically typing as if I were drunk. Originally Posted by tulip

50 degree high, wind and rain the last two days. Been to the gym to start lifting weights again. Tried the new trainer and it SUCKS (still waiting for the spinervals dvd to arrive). Spinning doesn't start for another 3 weeks. Ski season hasn't started yet. Virtual biking is all I've got for now! Where are all the people who live where's it's warm?!
