Alberto, Zain, Dan and Shin sat down at a bar and racked up a $40 tab. Each person chipped in $10. Shin randomly busts out one of his crazy beats and the whole bar applauds. The bartender gives the group a $7 discount for putting on such a show. Each person takes a dollar and gives the bartender the remaining $3 tip.

Each one of them had originally paid $10 (toward the initial $40), then everyone took back $1 which meant that they each paid $9. They gave the bartender the remaining $3 for his tip. However, 4 x $9 + $3 = $39

What happened to the last dollar?

Well I was doing about 85-95 the whole way. Barely any traffic. A good 25-30 mile ride.....my north face jacket helped out big time. Didn't feel crap upper body wise.

Rt5 runs from Waldorf to 495 in pg county.

The right gear does wonders. I'm good down to mid 30s.

Is the Z engine an interference engine? I seriously hope not.

tab = 33

33/4men= 8.25
8.25+$1back =9.25
9.25= 37

37+3=40

I'm guessing all the normal entrances will be closed tomorrow. Thought about going in the same place we went in last time.

rockburn is just an out of the park entrance on the howard county side.

Drop in park and ride like last time and you can make a big circle around the park taking a few different ways.

Take trail to parking lot. up soapstone (the huge hill) once up hill take the paved rd farther up the hill and look for the parking lot and yellow gate off to right. take that trail to the top of vineyard. that is the downhill that takes you out to the paved rd.

After that you turn right you go around to the bridge. turn left you head back towards the base of soapstone (take paved trail to end in parking lot turn left under the archway then stay right at split and end up at soapstone / trail to head back out of park.)

Too hard to explain the trails and how to make them loop you back if you go over the bridge.

Need more air in that fork, especially if you weren't really pushing it.

I wasn't pushing it so to speak but I was doing more crazy stuff since I could stop and look at things. Went off the trail a few times did some drop ins. I'm going to add a bit more but I think it's close to where it needs to be.

What I really need is shorts. My *** isn't feeling great lol. I went to order some from amazon the last time I ordered stuff but didn't see any in my size that I liked. So now I need to make a point at ordering them else where.
