Need a good excuse to get out of work and go Moto this weekend...

Call out sick. When he says "You dont sound sick." Tell him "I'm bangin' my sister!" He won't let you come in then!

Ha, that's good.


I'd tell him you had plans you can't cancel, should have checked with you first.

Tell him you got an eye problem and you don’t see yourself showing up for work.

Buttholes bleeding

I'd say "Dad, I have to ride"

Be honest, don’t leave anyone in a bind, and plan another time with clear communication about when you need off.

Do whatever he had scheduled Thursday and Friday. Or tell him if you don’t go ride for your sanity your kinda feeling like you will go postal on that stupid chic in the parts department or is she in accounting?

Just talk to him about the weather. Its supposed to be super nice up here this weekend. Probably wont get weather this good again for a while. You trying to go to Riverdale or Albany?

Trying to go to riverdale! Holds up to water better IMO

Ride Saturday and work on Sunday. Or make up the hours on Friday/Sunday/Monday. 2 extra hours Friday, 4 hours on Sunday, and 2 hours extra on Monday.

Thinking i might just forget even bailing work and just going Sunday. We should meet up! If you’re planning on going, that is.

It's been so wet and it's raining again tomorrow I've been to Riverdale and with how wet it's been. If I was gonna go this weekend it be Sunday and pray the track dried out some. Even though it's that Sandy ash it can still be crap.

Tell him "something suddenly came up"

I went down to Portland (from Tacoma area) and back today and it was DUMPING down there. It will definitely be a mudder but that's basically anywhere in this area in the winter for the most part. At least this side of the mtns.

As for the old man, I'd say hey pops I'm working late Friday and might come in Sunday cause Saturday i had plans to go ride. Obviously this would only work if whatever ur doing didn't have to absolutely be done Saturday. If it has to be done Saturday then i guess Sunday is ur day to ride hahahah

Well, its supposed to be somewhat dry tomorrow and Saturday. I have a buddy going up first thing on Sunday AM so he’s gonna let me know how the track is. IMO riverdale dries out somewhat faster than any other track around the Portland area, so wish me luck!

Tell him you have an appointment with a marine Corp recruiter. Monday. So you’re taking the weekend off to think things over.

Be a grown ass adult and go to work.

Yeah yeah.. I work 6 days a week most weeks. One day to ride ain’t gonna kill anyone. Plus, its my old man, he ain’t gonna fire me,

Does the track normally dry out with a couple good days? Looking to ride on Sunday but have never been there.

Tell him you broke your leg.

Just make sure you do it riding.

In my past experiences, yes. That track has some weird ash substance to it, it seems to dry fast, again, this is just my experience with that track 24 hours after a classic PNW rain storm passes.

Now, if you’re there while its raining, its actually not THAT bad. It’s your typical muddy mess, but the ashy dirt sticks to your bike like nothing I’ve ever seen. If you’re there and its raining, and you ride, just plan on spending the upcoming evening cleaning your bike

Sunday seems like itll be good, I’ll be there in a tan Ford Ranger with a 2016 CRF with the number 404! Come find me!

What’s your dad’s email address? Wanted to forward to him and see if he had any good ideas.

Tell him youre busy. I do it to my boss all the time.

He's your dad. You do not make up a bullshit lie/excuse to get out of work. Your name is on the schedule? Show up at work Saturday morning with fresh coffee and donuts.

This.
And what Colintrax said.

You can ride Sunday, right? Do it then. It's OK to tell your pops to make sure you don't have plans before scheduling you, though. Ask him to do that next time.

Tell him you’re having trouble with your eyes...you can’t see coming into work.

UPDATE; Called the old man this morning, told him about the situation.

Lets just say shop is closed tomorrow and he’s coming riding with me.
