**skelstar** · 22nd August 2006, 21:31

A good ... 6 hours I reckon.

Make em count.

Hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa

You'll have to get through the, "How the F__k did I get here" phase, then the "I wish she'd hurry up and get home from hospital 'cos I'm running out of undies and cat food tastes TERRIBLE" phase, and then the "she better not be permanently paralysed and unable to cook and do laundry" phase, and then the "she's only interested in the baby, and what is that smell" phase, and then the "how come that pink thing never sleeps" phase, and then the "you'll have to help me get the breast feeding going" phase, and then the "you're going to have to stop buying takeaways and learn how to cook" phase, and then the "Shit, I haven't had any sleep for 3 weeks and now I have to go back to work" phase. First. Plus some phases unique to you and your situation.

You should be able to go for a recreational ride in September. 2007. If you do some nice stuff for "the missus".

You're doomed.

Muahahahahahaaaa.

Don't worry, you'll soon be surprised how many trips to the shops for formula and nappies require travelling the Rimutakas.

Thanks for the support guys. I feel much better now.

Shadmeister, whats the name of that formula/ nappie shop in Featherston?

And of course the upside to the whole ordeal is that I now get to commute on my bike, instead of in the cage.

The everyday miracle. Make sure you dont miss any of it...even if it means having to tape the rugby and miss out on a ride. You wont regret it.

All sorted now and back in action....was just trying to get the 'most' out of the tyre before having to open the wallet and sift my way through the moths and cobbwebs to find the stash at the bottom.

Who got this thread off topic?>!?!

250 rides are a great idea! Just need to get the time to go on them!!

By which Sels means that if you *do* miss any of it, even if you're ... well ... having a kidney removed at the time or something like that, you'll never hear the end of it. If you miss it because you're watching the rugby you might as well consign yourself to a life of misery now.

Seriously. The missus needs you.

Dave, are you a dad? And do you have another one due?.... Jesus I never knew!

Jeeez. It's pretty easy. His eyes have sunk into his head, he has black rings around them. His hair is Iron Grey. His pubes have fallen out (don't ask me how I know (shudder)). Those aren't his real teeth. He eats raw chilis to remind himself that he is both alive and awake. He's only 23 but looks 62.

These should have been clues.

You've got it all backwards, you should have found your stash first

and then gone and got the most out of our tyre.
