Hey man lmfao omg! I ran a 5K this morning. 19:35...not bad. I finished 2nd overall but was the first male (got destroyed by a chick). Apparently I won money for being the male race winner.... waiting for the awards ceremony.

We tried Cinco Mayoing last evening. We got refused access because of our dogs.

Went down to the in-laws to get the Honda driving again. No dice, the pulleys are frozen and won't free up, the belt smokes and car dies. Tow truck en route.

Had my first go at putting down some concrete tiles outside. Not prefect as I did not have any sand. Not perfect but better than stepping on dirt. I will try to swap out some other tiles that a broken as I found a bunch that was like new some years back clean up the back yard.

Also improved my best time on a “DH” line from 1:04 to 1:02. Seems like 29r can turn!

have they not invented Canada Post yet

oh wait
I didn't even ask what it'd be to ship to a heavy steel oversized item.

It's a 2" Ecohitch, which had to come in the from the US. So just picking it up I'm already out $671. Not sure how the guy gets them - super nice guy who runs some eco trailers business. Had a Tesla and a Prius at his house. If I had ordered it myself, it would have been that price plus shipping from the US...cray cray.

Anyways, that shit is on there. Hardest part was figuring out how to get the bumper cover to pop off. After unscrewing to section, I did t realize it then needed to pop over top of some plastic shit. Was going crazy thinking I missed a hidden screw somewhere.

Damn dude! Thats badass... Did you smack a rock? Are those M-770? I hope you didnt get hurt.
M760. I did nothing crazy, just had hit a new gap jump for the first time, which went smoothly. Did use only about 2/3 of the suspension travel. On my third attempt, I wanted to pedal hard after the landing to quickly get up the following small incline. Was in the 3rd to largest gear, one rotation of the crank with full torque and heard a snapping noise. Thought I snapped my chain but instead saw the crank dangling. Luckily I did not get hurt at all, just rolled to a stop.
No signs of corrosion on the axle. Need to extract the other side to see what is going on. It is deformed, so does not slide through the bearing anymore. Crank is old and used quite a bit, but no hard hits. Always used with Nukeproof plastic flats or CB Mallets, so pedals that would fail if hit hard. :confused:
