Well, instead of going running this morning, I decided to ride my bike to work. So I got all my stuff ready to go and that was no small task. I packed my back pack with my  work shirt, three lunches, and my gate clicker. I filled up my water bottle and tucked my pant leg into my sock. I haven't rode my bike in forever because the back tire was flat. We got it fixed weeks ago, but I hadn't put it on yet. So I put it on while one of the kittens was bothering me. Then I went t

o test drive it and the front tire was flat! So I tried airing it up with this pump my wife bought me that clicks to the side of my bike. Then I discover that one of the plastic connections is broken. Then I can't even air up my tire because it doesn't have the right adapter! On top of that I had to wake up my daughter multiple times to watch Emily because both my wife and I were going to work. When she finally did get up, she locked me out while I was filling my radiator up with water! So

There is a moral to this story.

From Chad Robinson on Wed, Jul 31, 2013 at 16:55:14 from 50.73.39.89

If Burt is involved it would be lack of morals...

From Burt on Wed, Jul 31, 2013 at 17:08:13 from 71.216.109.214

The moral of the story is that Wesemann wanted to know why I didn't run yesterday. Now I'm going to have to come up with an immoral excuse as to why I didn't run today.

Locked up for indecent exposure?!?

From Burt on Wed, Jul 31, 2013 at 17:11:42 from 71.216.109.214

Anytime I expose my face it's indecent.

From Nan on Thu, Aug 01, 2013 at 09:33:47 from 98.245.117.176

Wah. Cry me a river. So, what is your excuse? You need a good whip crackin' or are you injured?

From Burt on Thu, Aug 01, 2013 at 09:36:26 from 71.216.109.214

Whip crackin' please.

From Britta on Fri, Aug 02, 2013 at 17:09:13 from 99.113.167.240

Love love love this post!

You'll be honored to know you were the topic of our post dinner clean up conversation last night. Aaron was telling me about his lunch conversation with a few friends where they were all agreeing that exercise, even just a little bit every day is hugely beneficial in lowering stress. Its ironic because sometimes when you're stressed exercise is the LAST thing you feel like doing. Believe me, I know. But what if you just even did a tiny itty bit. Like 10 push ups right now. Or one sprint around the block. Or PU-PU-SU! Oh you know you love that one. That'll give you something to blog about AND reduce your stress. Ready...GO!

From Burt on Sat, Aug 03, 2013 at 20:50:08 from 174.19.197.218

Britta - you get me.

Nan/allie - My PUBAR is broken.

From Burt on Sat, Aug 03, 2013 at 20:55:33 from 174.19.197.218

BTW, that is an honor Nan.

Nan, thank you for your above comment - it was just was I needed to be reminded of. You are so right - I went and did 10 mini push ups right after I read it!

Burt, you gotta listen to this gal Nan!

From Burt on Fri, Aug 09, 2013 at 11:39:50 from 71.216.109.214

Cookie!!!! Where've ya been?? I listen to Nan. I just don't hear her.
