From Strava it looks like Carey's ride time was 3.55, mine must have been closer to 7:55
I've never done Strava but kind of like the ride reporting tool thingy. For those who are interested in how a kick ass rider does things: https://www.strava.com/activities/1160670477
Fixed.
I wondered why the earth was off kilter. At first I thought it was drugs but then I remembered I don't have any.
Fucking ticks...
Carey is good people. You and @Montana rider still being alive is further proof of that, I suppose. You know he didn't always own a proper full suspension bike... homey used to ride a 20" folding bike. On everything. Everywhere. It was bonkers.
Hell yeah hardtail. What did you ride?

Ha, I dropped out. Technically I took the CHSPE at 16 after my Junior year and called it good.
I was in Algebra and hated it. After the Navy I finally got to get into real math classes and did much better.
I seem to be pushing a lot...
Carey and his wife are good people. 
Thanks for suggesting they contact Montana peoples, everything fell into place so easily.
My 9 year old is in advanced everything classes...last night he couldn't multiply 12x5. yeesh.
Granted, all of his math classes are in spanish, but c'mon.

I'ma break today down for you kids.
in better news, shawarma and beer for lunch. working from home. clinging to the hope that family gathering in the mountains this wknd won't be a total washout. if so, at least one day we're going to the pinball/classic video game museum in Ashevegas - all you can play for $15.
phew!
jealous. you suck.
jealous. you also suck.Post work hike, happy hour & dinner were a nice humpday treat. New chica is pretty rad. Woke up with a face full of her hair & her dog sleeping on me.
View from the trail by my house.
jealous. you suck too!
agreed. most other people suck. also bugs.Win/Win.
we need to call one. some trees in our yard be sketchy. but too big for me to be messing with.
C'ville was bad . . . fields at panorama farms were the worst. However, i found one behind my ear (in the middle of a staff meeting where the Pres/CEO was telling people they were being let go/salary cuts, no less) a few days after a ride maybe 5 years back . . . neck.shoulder glands have always felt achy/swollen since that time, yet despite various tests, nothing found (although I know there are many things we don't know about tick-borne illnesses). TL;DR - fuck ticks
me too. wanna know why? wife's car alarm (which is just the horn honking) started going off randomly at 3:00 AM last night. key fob cound;t shut it off; had to run down and actually open door/put key in. happened multiple times throughout the rest of the night. tried pulling horn and alarm fuses this AM; no dice. at the dealer now, probably needs some sort of new chip/sensor. this car is gone very soon. looking at gently used highlanders/pilots/maybe outbacks. hrmfffffff.

phew!
I had shawarma with my youngest (4) and wife today. It was nice. it was his first shawarma. he liked it!
ride tonight. should be good, it's nice and cool now.
one more day at my current job. looking forward to the new position.
I still don't understand how @Montana rider doesn't die with such a wicked narrow handlebar!
JHFC. My road bike has wider bars.
And bar ends
And aluminium frame
And SPDs
And 26" wheels
And almost 5 years old with mostly OEM creaky bits
All unrideabru according to Midge (the-FunTired) who spent much of the day selling me on N+1 for this offseason...
How did you like Carey's Ibis?
Pretty bike -- but I'm moar jealous of the motor as I haven't gotten enough miles in (YET) this summer.How did you like Carey's Ibis?
Already daydreaming of my annual extend the bike season after first snowfall by driving down to Colorado but thinking about hitting Front Range trails to visit a friend who relocated to Loveland this year instead of Fruita/GJ
Most wanting his wide crabon rims & 3" front tire with massive contact patch, legs of steel, skill and speed. OMG do I suck.How did you like Carey's Ibis?
tree folk have departed. did an excellent job. i mentioned that i happened to see them accidentally drop a tree into the wood pile they just finished stacking which sent a few logs flying into the air. no harm no foul, we all had a good laugh about it. wound up with WAY more firewood than i was expecting, but that's a good thing. to the point that i probably won't have to buy any for winter 18/19. by the time its split, will probably be 3 cords. pics forthcoming.
car also back from shop. oil change, front brakes / rotors, new tires, new battery.
All day long, I was operating on the premise that it was Wednesday.
Which, is good because we're closer to Friday than I thought.....
....but bad because I need moar dayz to get all the sh*t done.
Y'all be cool to each other. Tell someone that you love that they are loved.

you have a splitter? cause that a lot of either ax or chainsaw work...
mental & physical!
i don't have one... but the home depot ~10 minutes from me rents them. i'm also not touching this until next spring at the absolute earliest.
FTFY
I spend half my life in woods and brush, might wind up with one or two attached ticks in a year. Don't use chemicals.You ever see any up there?
I've been in CO 25 years and I've only had 1 tick on me - from walking through sagebrush.
Then again, I've been sitting out on summer evenings on my back deck for 13 years and have only seen probably a dozen mosquitoes.
Insect pests seem to hate it out here.
It's fucking white ash. Easy as hell to split with an ax. That said, @jonKranked needs an excuse to stay fat...
Rode up in Stowe today after shopping at a certain microbrewery...
No way, do it properly and it's an amazing core work out.
Side note.
Just signed papers to lower my house payment 160 dollars and lower my interest rate to 3%. I will also be able to pay off my credit cards and replenish the savings..... 200 out of pocket and restart the 30 years..... I'm only six months in soooooo. It's a win
easy to split or not; great core workout or not...when you've got 2 kids and work fullntime and want what little free time you have for riding and drinking biers...fuck an ax, rent a splitter.
Splitting wood > drinking beer.
precisely
