Hot dandy. Wifey's company is at risk of losing their biggest client due to the client's refusal to market effectively, overpricing, etc. They want her onsite in SF every week going forward, at least until this is sorted out. So that means I get to be single dad a minimum of 4 days per week into the unknown future. So much for getting in training time for the race next month.
MOAR Q7s!You know what the solution for that is...?
ANOTHER KID!
he'd have to shorten his top hat by a few inches.
Having lunch. TV is playing the espn russillo and kanell show, same as every day. I can't believe people watch this mess. It's just a boring, repetitive cadence, prattling on about throw away facts.
Time to dig into my Kontakt sampler on the lunch break. Finishing my avacado sandwich first.

I'm not that good of a teacher. I'll let the professionals do it.
Lulz. There is a good chance that she would be getting a substantial raise based on the initial promotion (noted before), let alone if they want her to travel more.

Oh, I wasn't suggesting that you use your free time to 'parent' or home school.
More along the lines of riding your bike during the former work hours.

Assumed, but if I wasn't working she'd find other things for me to do. The 'honey do' list would be of epic length.
It's a good thing you are an excel ninja then!
Let me start with what's on the immediate list:
Fix leaking sink (new)
Fix wine fridge that has stopped working
Install french drain in backyard
Re-sand the patio
Paint outside of house
Put in concrete around side yard for trashcans
Remodel Haley's bathroom
Remodel our bathroom
Find out how to get rid of the pigeons living under the solar panels
Replace the carpet upstairs
And that's just in the house... Don't get me started with the other misc stuff.
She'd probably send me and Haley to CA to do a brutal reduction of her mother's storage units and house (total hoarder).

Ever considered a bout of Jewish lightning? Sounds like it would solve all of your problems.
I don't have any good angles because of how the panels are placed and she doesn't want hardwood in the sleeping areas.
It's already Thursday here. Traveling to Japan with two kids is no joke. I was up for 21 hours all said and done and then the kids ultimately awoke this morning at 4:30 am. Lack of sleep plus rush hour train lines for the last leg plus stroller is quite unpleasant, I must say.
やってみよう
Isn't that the main selling point on children?All this sounds like shit OTHER people need to do FOR you.
That costs money. I'm still cheap (although I might hire some Mexicans to dig the trench for the french drain).All this sounds like shit OTHER people need to do FOR you.
Try it now.
Shim it.
Naw - most of that $hit the kids would fuck up royally. Even more than someone you HIRE to do it.
With your bank, why are you doing any of this? I stopped doing anything I could hire out years ago. Helps with bike time.
You don't make money by spending it. Most of this stuff I can do, it's just about making time. I still hire out things like when the heater failed and when the main fridge took a shit, but if I can do it, I will. Realistically it's just a matter of time. When I replaced the water heater, I saved $1000 by taking a day off and doing it. That kind of math works out in my favor.
It only holds 30 bottles (but the other holds 18) and I got it as a gift.
I hate to break it to you - but you DON'T have time.
Hire that shit out. Have the work done while wifey is away. You'll get bonus points. And more time to ride. Trust me - soon you won't have any time to do that shit OR ride your bike.
A lot of it is going to be. If I wasn't working, I'd be doing all of it.I hate to break it to you - but you DON'T have time.

Things in red I would hire out. The bathrooms I would be having somebody do some of the work, but a lot I would be doing.
$700 fridge. I'm going to try and fix it before I toss it. It's only 1.5 years old, so I'm not tossing it without trying.
Did everything that didn't involve taking the VANOS unit off (see camshaft) and installing the tstat, which I ran out of patience on.
Again, I didn't pay for it.What the hell... I don't think I spent much more than that on our *actual* fridge.
