Same with up here.
Off to this work thing for the day. I need to sign up to the SUNK program.
Good morning, friends. 2000 yard swim done before work. The combination of the pool and seasonal allergies are frikkin destroying me on swim days. 
Anyway, I've got a triathlon Sunday which I am looking forward to. It's sort of an Olympic distance that is all out of whack (.63 mile swim, 30.28 mile bike, 7.2 mile run). I'm shooting for top three in my age group to win a glass mug, plus a top 10 overall would be nice. Either way, this race officially wraps up my Ironman training, so I'm just looking forward to having fun no matter what happens.

My buddy and his wife are having an "Olympic Opening Ceremony party" this evening. Which is basically an excuse for a bunch of us to get together to eat fatty party food and drink beer.
Seriously! The county I live in is officially in a drought as of earlier this week. The news said that we normally have around 5 days of over 90* temps... but yesterday was our 16th day of over 90*
Morning monkies! Short day for me, I should be off by 2 and on the trails by 3. I rode the Yeti yesterday and tried to pedal up hills as fast as I can on the hard tail, today's legs are feeling it.
Good morning.
I'm leeeeeeeaving, on a jet planeeeee
. . . . . . don't know when I'll be back again......

so I finally convinced my riding group to hit my favourite trail last night (pretty much the techiest DH that's not at the local bike park), and I felt like a sack of shit, likely due to the heat. Had to push up a bunch of climbs that usually are no problem. Good thing it's august caus' I'm done with this heat. done. Good thing there were beers and a lake at the trailhead.
to top it off, for whatever reason the kids were up three times last night, and I feel even worse today, even though I'm sitting in a heavily ACd building with a fan blowing on me.
I hope the heat subsides this weekend.

Mornin!
Continued the shit pile clean up last night. Finally managed to get stung on the forearm by one of those flying bastards; I suppose I'll take a 100:1 kill to sting ratio. Also had the pleasure of taking a big fat splinter to the tip of the thumb the other night that's still aggravating. I seem to have a knack for buggering up my hands.

I might, maybe, possibly finish yard clean up today. Should have gone for a run, but opted for eggs, butterd toast, and coffee instead. My doctor does not approve.
Must have been trying to deliver this mornings wingdings.This will buff right out
Morning Monkeys.
Got to ride the redneck short bus into town this morning. The ride itself isn't bad but the crowd is interesting and the driver gets paid in meth is seems. The stop is just over a mile from the house and only 6 blocks from the office. But it is rather expensive at $6 each way, but it is an option.
If the car isn't done, I will be forced to wait until it is. But I will likely choke a few folks while waiting.

Tirol - near DalaasDude, are you going to Vorarlberg or Tirol?

Just checked in
Leaving here in an hour, car is supposed to be done before I get there. My neighbor said last night "you know you will have to take it back at least twice before its right". I really hope he's wrong. 
Your neighbor is a wise sage. Listen to him.Leaving here in an hour, car is supposed to be done before I get there. My neighbor said last night "you know you will have to take it back at least twice before its right". I really hope he's wrong.
Does he own a Corvette?
if it was a audi....he would have had it back.Does he own a Corvette?
Just got word that it's torrential monsoon action in Durango—sounds like the smart call is gonna be to bag the trip. I'm very sad.
Going to spend all next week at Wiesbaden - turns out this is going on just out the door of our hotel downtown.

Large diesel Dodge. He loves my car, but hasn't tried to get in it yet. He rode in my other neighbors Vette when he still had his (I never got to see his '76 convertible). But every time he takes his truck in for service, he has to take in it at least twice.Does he own a Corvette?
Just FYI, they are having a equestrianduro event at Buff Creek this weekend. Good luck and God speed if you chose to proceed.
@stoney, were you aware of this? Hmph
Super early for Saturday is something like 5:30 at the trailhead (noting that sunrise is around 6). I want to be back in western Kansas/Stapleton around 9 and you're aware of the pace at which I ascend...
You could meet me at the bench around 6:45 instead, heh.Yeah, I'm seeing the wisdom in not being around a mess of horses + their associated peoples.
BC is off the books then. Maybe Mountain Lion instead?Super early for Saturday is something like 5:30 at the trailhead (noting that sunrise is around 6). I want to be back in western Kansas/Stapleton around 9 and you're aware of the pace at which I ascend...

How long you been there, again? A couple years?

BC might be OK from Pine Valley -> up Buck, Raspberry Ridge, Blackjack, Homestead, Strawberry?
Equestrian event usually doesn't use any of those trails, IIRC.
Might be hard to breathe with the cloud of smugness that will descend upon that area.
