Yo. Another day on autopilot. Also, Dirty Wolf gives me headaches.

As in the Beer From Victory Brewing?
Rode last night instead of the usual Wednesday ride since today looked like rain. Hit our new trail four times to check our latest work. It rides so much better. A little rain on Monday settled the dust and fresh dirt, and it was like carving loam.
Chased a bunch of deer on a few different trails, cleared a fresh deadfall, finished *just* before dark and had a porter in the parking lot. Success.
No ride pics, so here's a crappy shot of my bike mid-ride when I circled back to pick up a friend:

Yep. I got the spelling wrong because fvck spelling.
'Morning. Speaking of dirty wolf, it's poop time! 
Mornin!
Half day today due to an off-site work function. We are going curling. Ordinarily I'm not one to attend such functions but when the choice is either go curling or work a normal work day, it wasn't too difficult.

Let me tell you what happens when you accidentally backfeed CIP passivation solution into the entire plant's RO water system used for site-wide manufacturing/testing of pharma grade filtration devices......during production.
People get mad. On the other hand, the loop will be nice and clean, so there's that....

When you say "you" you don't mean ME, right? 'Cause I had nothing to do with any of that. Just for the record.
You were dicking around on RM when said incident occured. Alibi checks out.
Thanks for reminding me I've had to poop since 6am and still haven't.
and you only had a 4 pack. amateur.
Another fun ride yesterday, have been riding the winter bike lately due to various mechanical issues on normal trail bike. I am again reminded that a heavy, too small, 26r, steel hardtail with flats kicks loads of ass and is at least as fun to ride as my nice dentist-grade megatrail. Managed to keep up with my buddy on his Evil Following to boot. I'm almost excited for our trail conditions to go to shit so I can slide around in the mud on this thing...
Got real work deadlines looming next week and I just got scared/stressed enough to actually get after things. Slamed coffee aaand go!

sometimes its fun to revisit your roots and kick around on a simple (nonstandardized) bike
For sure. I rode this bike exclusively last winter and it was actually fantastic for (somewhat) maintaining fitness and it definitely sharpened up my skills after a season of squishy bikes made me lazy. Plus I don't worry about pivots going bad or anything like that. Total win in my book.
yea i tend to ride my xc hardtail almost exclusively in the winter. less stuff to go wrong, and we rarely get a lot of snow.
part of me sorta wishes i lived somewhere that got enough snow to justify a fat bike.
If you lived where I do you'd know that no snow is needed to justify putzing around on 5 inch tires. Mud, sand, dirt, roots, gravel--all require maXXXimum traction! I hear you though and I will try one in the snow if I get the chance.
It's cookie Wednesday! Looks like a ride is in order this afternoon to celebrate it being Wednesday.
Morning Monkeys.
So I found this in my email this morning:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Message body
Someone paid me to kill you..get spared ,
48hrs to pay $5000
If you infom the police or anybody ....death is promised ......
E-mail me now
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So first off, someone paid "death" (who has a french email address
) to kill me, but for $5k he won't? How little did they pay? Or are you just really bad at the whole "death" thing?
Second, does this really work?
I haven't emailed death back and payday isn't until Friday, so we will see how this pans out.

Drinking coffee after walking the dogs and horses. It's going to be freaking hot and buggy here at the show grounds
how cold? answer sleestaks are the bomb for anything below freezing, and they are very well priced.
oh, and very hard to find these days.
Do they have insulation in the space between your hand and the grip? I think that's the biggest complaint I have with a nicer set of Pearl Izumi winter gloves I have, there's insulation in that interface that makes it a bit floaty feeling to grip onto.
It's really not that cold these days: 50 or perhaps 45 at the least this morning. The problem is that I (or one of my kids, or the Roomba) lost one of my mid-weight Gore riding gloves so now have to pick between paper thin Fox gloves and insulated motorcycle winter gloves with gauntlet cuffs.
I'll pick up some new mid-weight gloves when I go to REI for store pickup of my new crabonz ski poles in a week or so.
plans are being hatched to escape at 4 for beers...
also, anyone wanna go in on this an open a bike park/theme park?

Already had that at 7pm last night.
i foresee meetings with the plant manager in your future
only a very small amount. definitely has more of a "normal" bike glove feel to them. the majority of the insulation is on the exterior parts of the glove (when your hand is on the bars)
Praise the baby FSM that I don't have to work today on stupid fucking airplanes changing stupid fucking engines for no good reason.
5 mile run. Coffee and Mac and Cheese for breakfast. Got to make a Denver run after I shower so that will probably kill the better part of my day. FYI, Mac and Cheese from Costco is rad. Pretty sure it has 100000% of your daily cholesterol.
A fat bike is the only exception to the N+1 rule.
Donkeys. So many donkeys.
Have had the same meeting cancelled twice today; both cancellations happened within 3 minutes of when the meeting was supposed to occur. The second cancellation is apparently because of something happening on Monday. Huh, its freakin' Wednesday, what the heck does next Monday have to do with today?!

100% Briskers are great cool weather glove. I wear them down to about 25°, if in the woods.
not only did we leave at 3:30 for beers, but local brewery was celebrating first birthday with $1 beers. ultra mega win.
Got to Brevard about 2:30 PM. Got a slot for the R-Pod at Davidson, $55- through Monday with my old fart's pass. Not sure if I'm going to stay through Monday or not. My general idea for tomorrow is Clawhammer and Black Mountain.
Friday's family shit, weekend's undetermined.
Ohyeah black bear raided the campsite I'm at at 3:00 AM today. Broke into coolers next door and ate all the food.

wish i cld get over there @johnbryanpeters - tied up with kids/work all wknd 
Trying something new to repair my relationship. I went horseback riding. I did fine. Soon to be ex. Not so much. Horses are assholes. My Horse was cool. Ducked the low branches and saddle scrapers. Hers was a Asshole. I gave her horse a apple from our picnic basket. She was on board after that. I smell like horse and am alone....
Have an awesome ride tomorrow !
Now that's a Pisgah Proper welcome. Freakin bears. Oh, speaking of, if you smell something like a dog and there's no dog in sight, chances are a bear is near by.
