Title: Played Hookey Today
Post by: Bigbore4 on October 19, 2009, 07:50:25 PM
Anyone else?
Truth be told I was on my Yamaha, but at near 9:00 when I was headed home I was glad for the protection!

Left Roseville about 1:00, did Prescot and points south.  Doubled back and crossed over to Wabasha and did 60, then county 7 up past Welch.  I figured to see some bikes today, but I was surprised at the number.  Lots of dudes and dudettes ducked out of work today!

That must have been a helluva ride on that DT 250  :o [laugh]

I was tempted, but I  did about 50 miles of single track on the GasGas up at Nemadji on Sat and had the Polecat out on Sunday so I was responsible.   [roll]

Or the SRX6!  Touche!

It was a helluva ride...on the Feej.  I hope we get a few more days like that, but that may have been the last decent one and to be taken advantage of.

yeah I called in sick too and rode in the dirt at pine city.  had a blast until I broke the chain and had to push the bike back 3+ miles.  thank god for case savers otherwise the repairs could be worse than the walk.  I'd rather spend a day pushing a broke bike than working [bacon]

Subject line from the memo I sent to my riding buds:  "This EXEMPT employee"
Subtle eh?  They are also exempt and one of them did join me for a great day, well spent.

One of the few 'ups' to being exempt!

AND good thing ya wasn't 10 miles back in!

Thanks John, I stopped at ACE hardware after work and picked some up, so I'm all set now  [thumbsup]

Probably bringing it into silverback this weekend and having them go through the stuff I can't.
