Peace and bottoms up ya'll!

During the spring and summer months there is a longboard crew here in Madison that meets at 11:00PM every Sunday night for sessions. Mostly U of Wisc college kids. I have been invited ... but I gotta be at work on Monday morning. There must be a transition point that I passed somewhere in the past. Youngsters skate all night and sleep in, old farts retire early and skate early.

Easy solution. Take a nap when you get home. 3 hours or so. By the time you get your old broken down body home you will sleep for another few hours and be golden.

I have learned to mangage my sleeping scedule to concide with those who live in the light.

HAHAHAHA! Yeah but you're 24. If I did that I might not wake up until morning.

That can be the definition of a lucky man -

Right on Katarina, I'm the most energetic 40-year-old I know. I hit the skatepark twice a week and usually got for an hour or two, and I go to a gym and workout, and ride bicycles when time allows. Here lately it's been raining every night I'm free to skate and I've been crying in my beer over it. I have to date night tonight(not complaining my other half rocks), and tomorrow and Monday and several other nights next week I have to work and it looks like I might not get to skate again until the week after next. Once basketball season is over I will get more skate time though.

I've decided to do all my napping at work.

I thought about that, but then when would I have time to play on this forum?

**mangels** · 02-02-2007 02:25 PM

Yeah. The overwhelming majority of my posts are weekdays between 8:00 and 5:00 Central time.

**SweetCatarina** · 02-02-2007 02:29 PM

Ditto---- but on Pacific time!

They close down Golden Gate park on Sunday for people to ride bikes, blades or skateboards on the very smooth roads.

Conservatory Drive in GGP is not very smooth-- no run-out, but fun just the same!

Still better than riding all the way down 9th from Noriega. (The Sunset baby!)

So what do you posting from work people do for a living? I'm a photographer and I work at an university in a pr office. Lots of time editing photos on a computer.

**PMC** · 02-02-2007 03:46 PM

I'm a Field Service Engineer in the Semiconductor industry, The company I work for manufactures machines that are used in the process of manufacturing microprocessors and memory chips.

I go to customer locations in the US and international.

**dcphotos** · 02-02-2007 03:51 PM

Cool. Do you go skating when you travel? I do when I can. I spent a week in Provo Utah last year and skated at the Orem and Salt Lake parks and rode my longboard on a really nice bike path.

**PMC** · 02-02-2007 04:04 PM

Yea, I'm going to Japan for a month and I'm taking my EarthWing Suprecharger, if I find and old golf bag I will take my E glide Dewey Weber (dual motor) longboard.

**chicagolongboards** · 02-02-2007 04:06 PM

I make most of my money building furniture, and remodeling houses. The board building has really taken off in the last 6 months for though, so we'll see where it takes me. There is plenty of time between glue ups for me to be posting on here through the day though.
