There's an Ironman here in Louisville this weekend and it's been fun listening to the locals bitch about how it's shutting down the city.
Hahahaha!

Richmond should host an Ironman.
3
We certainly have all the necessary elements for it!
2
If you're talking about my drive to GA it was crap. 95 south was closed in SC. So I added 2 hrs to my drive. But the weather is gorgeous down here.
7
Where's it closed? Near Columbia? Flooded still? I was worried when I drove back from atl on Monday but 85 was all good.
1
Yeah, they're still getting flooding.
1
Near Florence it was about 20 miles still closed

Last night went as planned. Netflix and chilled..alone

What are you watching?
1
Robin Williams Remembered and Gore Vidal: The United States of Amnesia
1
Had a good night last night, and planning on having a good night tonight. Days are just filler between the nights.
5
[10] You want to do something during one of those sun nights?
2
Ya like what?
2
Do you have any of those pointy chips?
1
You mean Bugles? Bugles are best for making witch hands out of nothing but your regular hands and Bugles.
6
So far my wish from last night is working. The kiddo's baseball game is cancelled. (This is the third game in a row!) Hopefully the golf course is playable. It would be great if both parts of my wish come true.

You have spooky powers over the weather.
1
Yes, apparently I do.
::: quite evil chuckle :::
1
Where's u/skeezyrattytroll these days? SPEAK UP MAN!
4
2
I hope he's alright. It unusual for him to go dark for such an extended period.
Anyone got his number to text him?
3
4 days is awhile for him.
3
I don't know how y'all can keep track of all these people, but I think it's very thoughtful.
2
Tried doing a fall cleaning of my clothes. Got rid of almost nothing, I mean I'm going to lose those couple lbs then I'll fit into those pants right? I do now have a big mess since I didn't put anything away.
3
I went with that, lost the weight, and realized I no longer liked the clothes I saved!
2
I have no idea what to with myself today. Puggie needs her nails clipped, maybe we'll just stay out afterwards and go exploring somewhere.
3
Folk Festival is the answer
3
Slept for 11 hours, woke up feeling awesome. Going to clean the house, run, and possibly do homework, otherwise binge watch Empire.
3
Also! For those that are interested, the walking dead premier meet up is tomorrow. Around 8:30 at wonderland.
3
I think we're good for Postbellum at least for next week. Management said they wouldn't be against it being in side room. Do you think anyone Would RSVP on Facebook if I made an event page to show them there's interest?
2
I think you'd get more customers if you posted on FB. there's no bars around EXCEPT wonderland that shows it, so theres a niche you could capitalize on.
1
It's foggy, windy and cloudy at the beach, but it's still the beach.
3
A bad day at the beach is still a good day at the beach! Sort of like how pizza works.
2
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa....what if, and hear me out here. What if we had pizza...
at
the
beach?
4
Yes ma'am.
1
Taking my kid to a birthday party later. It's going to be super awkward. My mom was going to take her, since it's her co worker's kid's party, but she has the ick. The kid was really looking forward to it though so I'm taking her, but I'm already getting anxious. Way to go social anxiety.
3
Good for you though. Also I'm the opposite! Super extroverted and I don't ever get invited to shit. You'll be okay. Conversation is always easier when kids are a common factor.
1
I just have the added bonus of making sure I don't embarrass my mother... and I swear.... a lot.
1
My kid said "what the fuck" at church. So, I feel ya.
2
I think its more of when you are invited to do something you ignore it
1
Getting up early to finish everything I needed to do before noon? Complete failure but at least I'm at the Folk Festival now.
3
Just got to the REI garage sale at 5 til 8. I am not a smart man.
2
I always miss it.
1
The line was wrapped around to goldsmith. I scored some somes and a cot for 30$
1
Good thing you got there earlier with a line like that.
1
I shoulda got there earlier! like 6 or something haha. My gf saw some lady with her arms full of shit.
1
Thoroughly enjoyed myself last night. I love you, RVA.
2
What'd y'all get into?
2
Your fridge. Do you have ingredients for eggs Benedict? We are all pretty hungry.
2
That and penne a la vodka are two things we always keep around. Help yourself. Shave u/der_bluten_kat 's neck while you're at it.
2
He actually mentioned that earlier and was sad when he realized you were gone.
2
Entertaining both my folks and u/imakechocolate 's for the weekend. This is also their first meeting.
We're not prepared for this.
2
Good luck!
2
You're completely prepared! Your food is fantastic, that covers dinner. If in doubt, go to Folk Festival - beer, and it will be too crowded and noisy for them to really talk!
2
Dinner at Max's last night went well. Our first time there, will return.
Now we're off to hunt apples.
2
I hope you remembered your apple spear.
3
I really like this mental image.
2
12 gauge.
2
Trying three day potty training method with my 2 year old. So far he has peed beside the toilet.
2
That's as good as half the adult male population.

My bike ride to my running group was cold and windy and a leeetle rainy but otherwise lovely. Great morning for a run; love the fall colors against the backdrop of a cloudy sky.
Grocery shopping and finally buying a damn pair of bike gloves and then folk festival ALL DAY. We skipped last night because lame, also huge dinner, and then the rain happened and we were like "oh, ok"... so today is an all-day affair. I will not leave until they kick me out.
2
Were you meeting them in Byrd park? I thought I saw you at a distance while I was riding through.
2
No, Bryan Park. I was riding around Carytown before that though, at like 6:30am.
1
We actually had a conversation last night with an uber driver over what time they would actually kick you out. Please let us know when that time comes.
2
Heh. Well... I don't know yet, because Grandmaster Flash shook my hand and my first thought was "we have to get out of here because there's no way my night can possibly improve", so we hightailed it away. I may test them tomorrow though, if there are any good beer kegs that need kicking.

Got a big family day planned. Maybe Ashland Berry Farm for pumpkin patch, maybe folk fest, maybe buy wifey a new bike for her bday. Also some yard work.
Hopefully somewhere in there I can get a long ride in.
That's so weird. It is also my birthday today.
Happy Birthday!!!
Happy birthday!
It's also going to be the baby's birthday. And it's our anniversary. Who do you recommend I get to buy me stuff?
Huzzah! Good lucks!
Thanks!
Good day for a bday. 10/10 is 10/10
We were kinda hoping for him to have a separate birthday but we'll take whatever we get.
I'm kind of partial to tomorrow.
Tin Tin
but how is it with rice?
10/10, would 10 again
Be sure to tell your wife how strong she is and I am thrilled to share the day!
Wait. So my method of screaming at her to hurry the hell up isn't the most effective?
damn you beat me!
I made sure both of you have the same bday. Easier so I don't forget.
Happy birthday!!
You and Asterion's wife have a lot in common.
Happy Birthday.
I am.much better looking
Happy birthday. So when do you get the nap?
Bout to take that nap now.
How odd! Happy birthday.
Enjoy your birthday!!
Got a bunch of blueberries and raspberries from Ashland berry farm in my yard but I've never actually been there.
How'd you make that happen? All the benefits and none of the commute.
I worked in a nursery that sold them.
You can buy me a new bike for my birthday too if you want.
I see how you tried to sneak in here. News??
No news sadly. Still hanging out, still sober.
Oh man, long night :(
