That ICC makes it way easier for me to get to those Montgomery county areas. 495 sucks, glad they put that ICC in there. It used to take me like 1hr 30 to get to gaithersburg, now it like 1hr
yeah. still in limp mode. eff'ing knee's is giving out. hurts like the dickens when i get off the chair. After 10 minutes of walking then it get slightly better. Been doing lower carbs lately. (Notice i said lower...) i figure if i had to choose between meat and starch to let go. Rather do that later.

ICC costs like $1.60 to $4 to go through one way! I went on google maps and estimate that we're saving around 6 miles. But if it's 6 miles of congestion, i think its worth it.

CB - no bribing needed. sappy let me hold it in my tennis bag. it's a chicago. i weighed it last night. 375 grams. it's hefty but it plays amazing. sappy put in some crappy syn gut and it has as much spin as an aeropro drive. i can't imagine it with full poly. not the biggest sweet spot but even balls not hit flush - you get a feeling of the racquet's 375 grams just plowing through the ball. it's a really nice stick.

get your body back in order and i'll bring it out. also got my hands on four i.radical midplus. i'm selling em on the forums but thought about stringing one of em up for giggles. i used to have one about a decade or so ago. plus i still wanna try the NYC you gots.

Cool man, they say fish oil helps that kind of stuff. They also have Krill oil now. I guess if whales eat it it good for cafrtilage and stuff

Is that ICC that much during rush hour? I know when I play disc golf at seneca it easily cut off 30 minutes. And that was weekend no traffic. Can imagine the Rockville peeps working at Ft Meade. Eventually its suposed to go all the way to 295 I think.

Its that old. And it was like 5 bucks or somethign right?

I wonder how different all the PS 85s are. from the Chi town, to the vincents, to the chinas, and the TW re release.

Sounds exactly like what I had... partial tear of my patelar tendon. I was stubborn and still did the FBI's PT test a few days later.

That was a horrible idea. I was out of doing anything for 3-4 months.

Thats close to my 325's weight. My neighbor in the dorms in hawaii played with 85s. not sure which version. but those things did hit monster serves and FHs when i hit the sweetspot. I wasnt really that good then. Wish I had them to hit with when I was in my SD pracitce 3 hrs a day peak.

I wanna hit with someone this weekend. But want to stay in MD. Whos game?

375 grams = 13.2 ounces. that's a hefty stick. but it's also really headlight so it's somewhat maneuverable. i've got a match on saturday but i haven't told my captain yet that i'm prolly gonna play with a demo racquet. "we've secretly replaced tennismonkey's normal racquet with folger's crystals. let's see if his captain notices."

what's for lunch people? for breakfast i had a naked juice acai machine. i can't even figure out how to type out that letter "c" with the little schmutz hanging off the bottom to spell it properly.

holy crap. 13.2oz. and that's stocked? Does your shoulder's hurt after hitting with it?

if you want one of your i-rad's strung. Just bring it over w/ some strings unless u like one in my collection. I still have 2 sets of 17g Rip Controls. Got my NYC's leaded for plow now. ur welcome to try anytime.

yeah. rush hour ICC is $3.95. But i think that's when it's worth it. if u let me choose between $4 or stuck sucking exhaust fumes from a 18 wheeler for another 45 mins. I know what I'll choose.

been taking on 5 gms of fish oil each day. It really helps. Added plus is that it suppresses my appetite.

pho for broken knee cap tendon. isn't that some kind of food recovery idea -- that you have to eat what is broken in you. so that means CB should eat pho with extra tendons and cartilage. i should eat monkey brains. sappy should probably just stop eating.

if sappy eats nothing, then you're saying, nothing is wrong with him?

i'm pretty sure sappy is the picture of perfection. you put together all of the olympic athletes together in a blender and you get sappy.

is your native language something else (martian?) and you use google translate to post on our forum?

after re-reading your sentence. i think you mean ahi tuna. i have no idea what aji is. and i'm guessing meneki neko is some sort of ethiopian japanese fusion restaurant. i'm intrigued.
