Rollin' On 29's
Picked up a new ride yesterday, an 07' Raleigh XXIX single speed. The previous owner only put 120 miles on this beauty. Nothing much going to happen to this dirty red other than some new tires, grips & pedals. Sometime this winter I'll purchase a suspension fork. I was thinking the Rock Shox Reba Race 29" would be a nice fork since the 07' models will start to drop in price soon.

Pug Party
We took Zoey to a Halloween pug party at the Petco in Burnsville. Don't worry I'm not going to go psycho and start purchasing pug t-shirts, calenders, coffee mugs and put a sticker on my car that reads, "I love my pug". There were about 40 or so pugs dressed up for Halloween. Unfortunately our hotdog costume from Target was extremely unoriginal as 3 other pugs came as the same thing. It was utter choas as all of the pugs were running all over the place looking for the next butt to sniff. It was hilarious watching them all do their thing. Zoey started hauling ass from one side of the room to another trying her hardest to start some shit by chasing after some other pugs to get them to play with her. The best part of it all, Zoey has been sleeping since we got home around 4pm.

Weekend Round Up
First things first. Our new nephew was born yesterday. Wyatt Charles Nordmeyer born Oct. 13th at 3:13pm, 8lb 3oz, 20" long and a full head of hair! Congratulations to Jason & Suzie! Aimee & I are really excited because we get to be his God parents. I wasn't able to visit the Nordy's today because I had to work but hopefully in the next couple days I will be able to see the little guy and get to hold him.
Today (Sunday) I was on call so I got to sit at home in front of the TV and watch the Vikings barely edge out the Bears. Then I called my Dad to rub it in his face because they were at the game.
Friday I went over to James' to watch Gophers hockey play their first game of the season versus RPI. Yeah I was thinking the same thing, what school is RPI. It is Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY. The Gophers barely won this game as they were down 3-0 in the 2nd period. RPI folded in the 3rd giving up 3 unanswered goals. Gophers went on to win the IceBreaker Title with a win over Michigan.
Saturday Pete & I went to Murphy to ride a couple laps. We finished with 18 miles that day. It was a perfect day in the upper 50's and the trail was a little tacky making it fast & fun. Then Aimee & I went to Terrance Oaks to test out her new bike. We did a couple laps there. This week is looking pretty shitty for riding, 50's and rain. We might try to hit the River bottoms for a night ride.

Random Crap
Aimee & I went to Chicago last weekend. Everytime I go there I rejoice knowing that I live in MN. I'm sorry to all the Chicagoans but most of the suburbs are dumps. My cats litter box is cleaner than most of Chicago.
The Yankee's once again failed to $buy$ their way to a World Series Championship. Thank god becuase I HATE the Yanks. Like Herb always said, "The players had big egos...That's why all-star teams traditionally seem to self-destruct. We didn't."
Hockey has begun. Wild are 2-0. Go Wild!!
We had to buy a new washer & dryer. BOOO! The old washer went out, I think it was the transmission. I would have preferred that the dryer gone out since it was a cheap POS, then we would have only bought a new dryer. My whites have never been whiter.
It has been hard to get back in to the swing of things at work after the Moab trip. Then people are setting up meetings at 4-5pm. WTF people. As D.J. Tanner would say, "That's just rude!".
Winter is just around the corner which is my favorite season. It's only my favorite when there is snow on the ground otherwise it's depressing looking at the brown grass. Time to break out the sweaters and jackets.
That's all I've got right now.

Random Picture
I took this pic on the way out the Moab. Probably not the smartests of place to beg for money.
