Well I don't want to make him feel guilty about underpaying me now do I? <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> When he brings the beer I give him free hours <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' />

<br />
True Nick, very true, though there's no risk of that in this instance.<br />
<br />
Actually it can be uncomfortable working for your mates, and knowing what to charge them...well I find that anyway. Then when you do the right thing by them and undercharge, they go and fuck you proper by wanting shitloads of changes!? fluffybunnies. Still, at least when they're mates, you can tell them to go fuck their hat. -
That's why I only charge about half the hours I do. If they start freeloading I can pull them up on it <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' /> In the end they can claim it as a business expense so no biggie<br />

Back on topic: No exercise tonight dammit, unless Mrs the Aussie comes back from the shops as wet as an otter's pocket :whistle: -

I don't see how she couldn't with that sort of sweet talk getting busted out Romeo <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' /><br />

Yet she continues to resist my rakish charms :nta I dunno...<br />
<br />
Bike ride planned for this evening. A quick 10km in freezing cold no doubt. -
Tonight I was pretty chuffed to put away 25km on the old MTB in around an hour on an alternate route. Fucking cold tho and I have to get some thermals so my nuts don't turn to ice in future.<br />
<br />
In other developments, Mrs the Aussie has knocked back my request for a decent road bike to clock up some serious km on - its the Trek 1500 on [u][url=http://www.cyclery.com.au/page/tdf_promo.html]this page[/url][/u]. Most of the bike's cost is the full Shimano Ultegra fitout which is perfectly understandable... to everyone except Mrs the Aussie. At that price, anyone in Sydney who needs a decent road machine should get in there and snap one up.<br />
<br />
Don't bother spending the money on the carbon rig - a mate of mine has a Scott CR-1 and one of the Madone's and likes neither of them. Then again, his other bikes are a Merlin Cyrene and his brand new Merckx with full Shimano Dura-Ace. Rich prick. -
The weather has stopped being so fucking cold so after 9 days sitting on my fat arse I went out again for a short 12km stint and felt good about it. Right knee is acting up a bit as I twisted it the other day. Hopefully the colder weather stays away this week and I can get a head start on summer.<br />
<br />
I haven't done sustained regular exercise since February - only the odd ride every now and then - and have maintained my weight around 113kg which is a good sign but I probably lost a bit of muscle tone and put back on a little fat in there.<br />
<br />
If I start up exercising again regularly on the bike then I'm aiming to smack another 10kg off my arse in short order. Much easier to do once Spring is here of course <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' /> -
Ha! I've been using "it's too cold" as an excuse too. As you and I both know, come summer it's impossible to do any exercise whatsover because of the heat, so bite the bloody bullet
I got suntanned to buggery playing touch today I might add in the midday sun. Being public servants we were able to play for an extended period in our lunch "hour". -
Yes it gets a bit warm in summer but riding the bike at least gives you long downhill stretches to cool off <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' /><br />
<br />
Don't get too attached to the public service. There are only so many Dickhead Hours per year that upwardly mobile young legal eagles like you can take before going through the place with a semi-automatic weapon and a machete <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> -
On the contrary, I am sure the time away from the keyboard will see him lose a shedload of weight in short time.
-
Nope. Too farking cold and wet to get out on the bike lately, though the weight has stayed off through the winter despite the odd dietary slip. I'm consuming more product but keeping it to mainly health things, and have developed a taste for teriyaki chicken rolls with stacks of Wasabi (or the horseradish version we have here anyway). In the next couple of weeks I'm back on the bike three times a week after work @ 20km a go, and once daylight savings kicks in I will probably increase distance to 30km. By summer I should have disposed of another 10kg and will be a svelte 105 <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />

Just back from a 25km ride into the teeth of a nasty headwind blowing off the Snowies - had an old Canterbury long sleeve on over my BOP Mafia t-shirt with arm warmers, and nix and leg warmers. Still cold for the first 5km until my sweaty carcass caught up with itself.<br />
<br />
NTA is stuffed but the time was about 1 hour 15 min which is pretty good for someone who hasn't been on the tredley in over 3 weeks. 20km/h on a crappy $400 MTB with basic Shimano 3-7 gearset is not a bad effort I reckon. It certainly pisses me off when skinny arseholes on nice road bikes just hill climb straight past me :evil: But I'll get one for Christmas hopefully and ride the road instead of the bike track... -
Just rode a sub-60 minute 20km which is pretty good seeing as I was at snail's pace most of the way out. Felt really shagged up the first few hills but then turned it around. Mainly because I was pissed off at the track maintenance people for putting speed humps on my favourite downhill :tickedoff: Just because that particular part goes into a 90 degree right-left chicane down a 5 degree slope :tickedoff: Fuckers.<br />
<br />
Funnily enough it feels colder riding in August than it was back in June/July, even though the temp says 12 degrees :nta
