LOL. Right before closing the screen on my laptop last night I said to myself, "this thing better goto sleep and not die". I stupidly had a bunch of random things in unsaved, but open, text files. Yep, went to go return to what I was doing and the damn laptop refused to return from sleep.

Anyways, FRIDAY! Rain or shine, I'm riding tonight. And tomorrow. And Sunday.

Hello, beautiful people. I brought a bag of this deliciousness into work today. My staff has already torn into them. They have good taste.

damn, I woke up at 12;30 am to the worst fucking thigh cramps. Gatoraid and ibuprofen helped but holy crap that was painful. I guess I rode too hard in the heat and did not drink enough yesterday. I think I will give the legs the night off from riding today.

Rear hub needs servicing anyways..

Moar Coffee plz

i want these

Hello all. I think I might get a single speed cross bike for commuting. Just need to figure out if All City 52 cm is too big for me since they run large. My Klein way back in the day was a 52 cm, iirc, but apparently their 52 cm had 2" lower standover than All City.

Mornin!

Posting from bed, slept in today so I can maybe/maybe not be here when the appliance people deliver. They had the wrong phone number, so I corrected it yesterday, but they still never called to confirm delivery. Fuckers. Here’s to hoping they show up.

Good Morning!!

Nearly died on the commute in this morning when a guy in a jacked up truck decided to hit the brakes in the middle of a 4-lane highway at 75 miles per hour to whip it over to the exit he realized he was about to miss. Cars scattering everywhere faster than a Detroit cockroach. Code Brown, Captain! Code Brown! :panic:

Y'all have a great day, and don't be that guy.

Not sure if the rest of New England is as dry as we are up here in Maine, but the trails are super dusty and dry. Not that I am gonna complain about it. Will have to go ride them some moar this afternoon.

Have shitty, unridabru, unboosted aluminum bike frame replete with unrollable 26" hoops, unfathomably heavy alloy handlebar, non-range having 10 speed drivetrain in my car in hopes of an early escape from the gulag...Where's the fast forward button?

caught a glimpse of snow between the clouds over the high country. :stoked:
went to an OpenSnow event in Boulder last night. honeslty the highlight was the beer &free german food as it quickly turned into a commercial for Heli/Cat skiing ops. Cool eye candy none the less but I am on a hike it or shuttle it budget if I want some tasty BC.

Was sick yesterday, still sick today. But it is my minions last day, so I wanted to say goodbye in person (because I'm not a complete asshole). But as soon as he shows, I'm ghost. It rained last night, supposed to rain more tomorrow, so very little will be getting done.

good ride last night in very dry and dusty conditions. followed by beer in the parking lot; and wings, tacos and moar beer at the pub; and a scotch at home.

didn't sleep well (gee I wonder why?!)

It's been a very social Friday at work today. It's 11, and I'm only now getting to work. No bueno. I'm going to have to learn how to be productive in these open concept workspaces...

Have a good weekend everybody, hope you get out there to enjoy some dirt.

Here. Slept 10 hours last night and I could definitely sleep another 3-4 for sure. Off the phones for most of today, which I'm stoked about. Just waiting to hear back from the deck contractor about the estimate. Whole bunch more people looking at the house today and this weekend. Looking ready to get this move done.

Around here, that is the normal way people exit the freeway.

that's because it actually WAS a Heli/Cat ski marketing event.

Happy Friday, beautiful people.
Feels like I haven't slept in days, but getting out for a ride later.

OMG.....I totally forgot to mention that I was awakened this morning 20 minutes before my alarm by a f'ing spider crawling across my chest!

You want coffee to wake up? ....It has NOTHING on that. Sprung up out of bed from a dead sleep and did the spider-willies dance - slapping all around at my head and chest. My right calf cramped up and I hopped around on one leg in the dark with the willies and a cellphone trying to spotlight that fvcker - he got away.

So....I'm probably going to just set my house on fire tonight. That's volumes of nope.

Did a satisfying 9 miles post work yesterday. Pulled my BB apart and the bearings seem shot. It’s an external bearing BB, probably going to replace it.

YEAH! Fix is $3500 for the deck surface pull and joist replacement. This shouldn't be an issue as a concession, I don't think.

Seattle has the exact opposite. This morning I was treated to being stuck behind a guy who came to a complete stop for a solid 30 seconds while trying to merge with no impinging traffic in sight. My commute home has a daily backup merging onto I-5 because despite have over a mile to merge into traffic, people will come to a complete stop and wait for a gap sufficiently large enough to accelerate to traffic spped at the very first 5 feet of the merge lane.

I catch spiders and take them outside. The only ones I kill are Black Widows.

Once while riding a seriously off-camber, rooty trail I had a spider crawl across my face and I couldn't let go of the bar to get it off.
