Hi guys! I'm on vacation!!!! So far so good. We had a minor mishap on the drive up. So I'm driving along and this truck pulls up next to me and the guy says "you've lost a bike!." Shit. So I circle back and do a few passes to look for the bike, totally panicking because I'm thinking OMG I could have killed someone if the road had been more crowded. Those bikes were tied down tight and we had just rechecked them when we stopped a few minutes earlier to eat. Anyways, after three passes of our route there was NO BIKE in site. So, either it flew way off the road in the bushes, or somebody took it. Unfortunately, it was MY bike. It was a nice one too. Klein Attitute mountain bike. Total bummer.
Otherwise I've been enjoying some time off. Oh, other than the EMERGENCY call from work yesterday. URGENT project needing attending to(they're all urgent). I had to call one of my peeps and send them to New York last night for the week. This always happens when I attempt a vacation. Sigh.

Everything must be marked URGENT otherwise they wouldn't be able to get ahold of you. 
That sucks about your bike. I know I'd be super bummed if mine was gone.
But, do have fun anyway. It's VACA! |

Had to come check up your post on the treadmill. Looks pretty sweet, but $40 a pop on top of gym fees seems a little crazy. But to not know exactly how it is going to fit into your gym (size or ROI) is frickin' stupid.
Watching the video, how come it looks like the first guy is always looking like he is going to fall????
Keep up the good work J. If you have to give up your gym membership because of the treadmill, it should be a problem for you. With the amount of iron you toss around, you can change your workout to picking up people's cars and moving them around on them (good for a laugh also).

Sorry about the bike he says, knowing full well that she just couldn't justify a sweet new ride until something "happened" to the old one... |

Sorry about the bike - that sucks!
Maybe it's like with parties - that saying "it's not a party til something's broken"?? Follow my warped logic here - it's not a vaca til something's lost? If so, then the vaca has officially started!!

In my case it's more like this...
My son kept asking me to go on a bike ride today. I said, "no, I can't, Mommy doesn't have a bike anymore." He tells me, "that's okay Mommy, I can ride MY bike and you can walk."  |

Hi Jill! I keep forgetting to pop over here and check on you. Glad you are taking some time for a nice vacation. So sorry about the bike!! Will insurance take care of it for you?
Have fun and stay safe ~
