Put in a solid 15.5 hour work day yesterday. CPU on a motion controller seemed to have shit the bed. Duct taped a bunch of random parts I had laying around into a functioning replacement just in time to prevent a line stoppage. Le tired, but it was the last day of a pay period so "forced" to get paid OT instead of my preferred flexed time off.
Day two of riding my two favorite local rides/descents in the books... might have been pushing my luck a bit. Both trails (Mountain Lion and Longhorn) are pretty fast and pretty rowdy. Ask @stoney about the first time we took him down Longhorn... 
A real "thwappy" tree branch across the trail dislodged my Dork Logger™ on the first trail, didn't notice until the bottom. Fortunately, said location wasn't too far back up the trail and Dork Logger™ was retrieved. Then burped my front tire something fierce about 1/2 way down the next trail... if that trail isn't rowdy enough for you might I suggest lowering said front tire to ~9 PSI and then try not to back off the gas while following your fast as friends... #nothankyou
Burger and a couple of cold Bootstrap Insane Rush IPAs were consumed after... didn't even have to use my AK.

I currently have an xc hardtail, the spitfire, and a dh bike. The xc hardtail rarely gets used (too harsh on my back after a double disc herniation in 2015) and the dh bike is collecting dust (despite my love for dh, I have a 2 year old and a newborn. Closest lift access is hour and a half). I'm basically gonna split the difference so to speak with what I currently have and drop to 2 bikes. The megatrail i'm getting will cover me on the more gravity side. i'll be looking for something in the 100-120mm range to fall between my xc hard tail and the spitfire
fuck those rules.doesn't anyone know that tuesday is the proper day for album releases? sheesh.
You ride enough and on disparate enough trails to make having another bike beside the Megatrail useful? Seems like splitting hairs, especially if your time is limited.
yes. the spitfire is overkill for some of the trails i ride. southeast PA is pretty flat.
Instructions please.

open laptop. Fn + F7 if it doesn't not automatically extend your desktop; i think it mirrors by default unless you've done it before.
High of 71 here today, not a cloud in the sky. It is more HERO DIRT with no wind.
Sublime day to ride.

"hi i'm toshi and i don't understand geography"You could try not riding those trails for a start.
closest trails to my house are 5 minutes and they are XC. better than road riding or no saddle time at all.
OMG! So much faster! I can accomplish the same amount of work while talking on here now!
that's what i do too. you learn quickly padawan.
Still barely 45F here, and eff all visibility from the low cloud.
Bar doesn't open until noon.
Are the strip clubs not 24 hour anymore?Bar doesn't open until noon.
<---wants to go ride, thought he was done with 45F rides for a few more months.
Still hasn't warmed up today at all...

dreary as heck down here but I bet conditions are awesome right now
grubbed about 2.5 miles of super overgrown trail in high 90* weather + le humidité. now recovering with moar bier
The feels I had today while working remotely on a switch, which in itself is 20 feet up on a pole, when the session suddenly quit after making a change. Nearly pooped myself. 
It's officially the weekend and beer is in hand.

Get a third one. Then you can do workz on one, RM on another and have some redbull tv playing on the other.
laptop + 2 19" displays at work
laptop + 1 19" at home, until docking station comes in
if some is good, moar is moar better

God I hope it's not 100 degrees when i am in Denver on Monday...
We'll keep it pleasant for you.
Time for beers before you head up to the mountains?
I think display count is one thing that goes against the moar is moar betters saying.
At the desk in my office where I spend 85% of my work hours, I have 1 large 24" monitor, my laptop on the dock and another 19" monitor to the right of that. With that setup, I can full screen some applications on the two smaller ones and split the large display into two areas.
Anything more than that and I find windows just get lost or forgotten, end up with cluttered task bars or a screen is on but not doing anything. I'd say 60% of the time, one of my three monitors is solely there just to keep Google Music out of my mail workspace on the other two.
The other 15% of my work time is spent at a desk where I just have my laptop and a 19-22"ish monitor. This has about 85-90% of the functionality of my work desk.
Windows 10 has made multiple monitor setup sooooo much nicer with the ability to have more than one task bar.
All in all, fuck working with one screen. You can only alt tab so many times before someone gets punched.
Effing bugs, I was chased out of the woods by brutal mosquitoes and other blood sucking fuckers.
I wish, we have a 3:45 date to ride up in Vail for the evening. That should be fun, though. I *might* come down to ride Monarch Crest in the fall, hope to rally with some front strangers then, perhaps?

I wish I had a Taco Shed near me.
If you build it they will come...
