What Is That Odd Looking Orange Ball In The Sky.....?

Not wishing to jinx our good fortune but we are going on two days of relative sunshine (knock on wood) and I don't know what to do!  Now you all have NO excuse to not be out riding today!  You have been cooped up, growing lethargic, layers of fat are beginning to form, love handles expanding, your joints beginning to atrophy....
no wait...
that's me!
"ba-dum-bump!"
Seriously!  Take advantage of the reprieve and hit the trails!  As has been proven of late, it can change on a dime so get out there and enjoy what time you my have!
What?
You say you don't have a bicycle to ride?!
For SHAME!
Well it's a good thing we are here for you!
(shameless self promotion ensues!)
And we put out even more goodies yesterday!
An absolute gorgeous men's cruiser LIKE NEW!
A cute little 2012 20" Trek bike.  These are the kind that rich parents pay $200.00 plus for! And we got it on the cheap!
And a SWEET Schwinn Sierra 7 comfort cruiser!  AWESOME! 
ON TO MOVIES!!!
Yes it has been a while since we commented on something or watched something new and no it is not about Pacific Rim....YET!  But Elijah and I WILL be going to see THAT either today or tomorrow.  I  HAVE to see that on the big screen!
No, last night for movie night we watched "Jack The Giant Slayer".  I have no idea why this one did so poorly in the theatres.  Granted, it was not a stupendous storyline nor original but it was a far better "family" movie then much of what has been coming out lately.  Now mind you, I use the word family loosely. I know there are folks out there who won't let their teenagers watch anything but Christian movies and certain Disney films and there are those that will sit their infants in front of the "Paranormal" series (usually in the front row of the theatre at a ten O'clock show!) so to each their own.   There are some fairly violent scenes with some minor gore towards the tail end of the flick, but buy and large the actual "acts" take place off camera. But as far as an interpretation of a classic fairy tale it's pretty darn good!  And keep in mind the original  Grimm fairy tales were NOT the happy ending Disney films they were later adapted into!  This generation is being introduced to that fact with some gusto!  Think the latest Snow White, Red Riding Hood...etc.  I look to the reactions of our kids and they were all enthralled and enjoyed it immensely.  The pacing was good, and for the most part the director seemed sensitive to the fact that it WAS a kids story and they would be watching so he kept the "scary" to a minimum.  All in all worth the rental  and the cost of snacks!
Thanks to all the folks for coming in yesterday and the new homes rides went out to!  And now we are back at it and will see ya all soon!
