D...what is couch to 5k???

JC and BG.,.....I dont know if it is a good thing that you guys share a campsite....OH MY!!!!!!!

J...sorry your weekend is not turning out like you want by not seeing your g/f.....but you get to ride. that will be awesome....

cant believe labor day is next week.

oh, and to answer the question from a zillion pages ago....

I am a goverment conctractor working on a military base. I do circuit card repair(soldering) build proto-type boards, and whatever else comes my way. I had worked in manufacturing for 4 years on 3 shift prior to coming here.

Before that I was a stay at home mom

[OH Juli 15]

JC and BG, you two kill me. So much to say so early in the morning!

First of all BG if you've smelled a limburger crotch, and I'm assuming you don't go around smelling anyone's buy your own, you need to check your personal hygene...or get that infection cleared up.

As for being taken advantage of at work, can you get more money for doing what you do? You can always ask. Being a state worker, we'd call that working out of class and you could get more $$.

On a work note, I had an inservice with my staff yesterday about nutrition. I had them break down a day's menu cals, fat, carb, and Protein by running around reading lables. They compared it to USDA's standards for a 18 y/o boy, and the reality of what our kids eat. (3 bread sticks, not 1). It was great. One guy was like, "they need to stop eating for the day by the time lunch is over." I had them figure out some healthier changes we could do and they decided to limit dessert from 10 to 2 times a week, add twice the veggies, get 100% whole wheat bread, get rid of iceburg lettuce and add sweet potatoes to the baked potato days.

I know too many details, but I'm so proud and happy! Now people are joking that I put myself on a diet and now I'm putting the school on one too! HA! I won't deny it!

And we are different from typical schools becuase our kids eat for free...so they don't have a monetary reason not to eat til they burst.

Anyway, surprise, surprise, it's a happy work post from me.

HP, here's what I used for couch 2 5k. I would be interested to see if D is using the same program. Cool Running :: The Couch-to-5K Running Plan

I'll be ok as long as BG doesn't do some kinda crazy ninja style front snap kick to the forehead manuever.

It's a small world my youngest sister used to have a similar job. I think she worked on the circuit boards for sona buoys.

Listen J I hang out with a lot of crack whores, okay. Limburger is one of the better scents.

JC I throw a wicked mean elbow. DH and I tivo that Human Weapon show and I always pause it and make him let me practice the moves on him.

Good God BG, I haven't started on that show I am afraid I will get addicted.

J, that is an awesome endever you are working on and a worthy cause. I admire your spunk.

HP, I have visions of you walking to your computer already shaking your head and thinking, "what in the hell kinda off the wall thing am I going to read this time?"

[OH Juli 15]

I want to make a spunk joke, but that's really beyond the pail.

J, it' way to early to try and figure out how to spell enthusiasm, so I put myself at risk.

[jcgrove29 0]

So, Google master, and J, the knowledge base have you ever seen or can you find training videos on bike tuning. I found a liink once but I must have been old, I could not the the referenced page to load.

The bike mechanics around here don't like to educate potential customers and I respect that, I just feel more comfortable being able to fix my own stuff. Especially when I am apt to jump on a long distance ride from time to time.

Sorry for asking such questions but I was feeling guilty for not having posted anything bike related in such a long time.

Still can't find my darn phone, what a pain.

[OH Juli 15]

Uh, call your cell phone with your house phone. Or if you only have the cell, give me your number and I'll call ya. Maybe if you hear it ring.......

HP, I have been using XYIENCE whey protien from GNC, it is very fine powder so even the cheapest shaker cup they sell mixes it very well. I buy the chocolate flavor. What kind are you using?

[jcgrove29 0]

I only have the cell but I left the house. I may have to try that later. I hope it's not on silent. I tend to do that a lot.

[jcgrove29 0]

Was hoping it was on the charger at my office. No luck there. May be a good thing.
