Dad passed about 4:30 this morning. Probably no service being held cause of the coronavirus. Can't say that I see anything positive coming out of going up their now. I doubt my mom is going to be suddenly a lot more rational. I feel like their is no decision I can either way that won't leave a life time of self doubt. Ugh....... family.
This sucks.
This sucks.
'Morning, cupcakes!! The last couple of weeks have been very stressful due to the work situation, and now it feels like a huge weight has been lifted. I slept like a friggin champion this past weekend without that hanging over my head.
Anyway, I got my hour jog done this morning, and now I've got Raiders of the Lost Ark on for background noise while I "work."

Im sorry 'squeeb. RIP
Sorry dude.
Hang in there Squeeb. I understand the mixed emotions. I was not close to my family at all. Dad and I got along, Mom hell no. My sister is still a bit miffed at me but life goes on.
In other news I was completely out of it at 4 am, could not find shit that was in plain sight and sitting right in front of me. Coffee finally kicked in as I rolled up to my 0440 dialysis pickup. I think round two of coffee is needed now at 6am

sorry squeeb. if there's no memorial, and seeing your mom won't result in anything positive, why bother? or maybe go later if it's where you grew up and you just want to reflect?
work up to learn that another area cycling legend - also one of the last bike messengers in the city, died unexpectedly last night.
coffee, then the usual.

Sorry Shane, RIP dad.
Shane - Sorry to hear about your Dad. @Pesqueeb Do you think you'll be moving your Mom out to CO now? (She's still in CA, right?)
Here. Small child was up every 2 hours last night and Wifey has meetings all day today, so I was on duty. I finally got to fuck this at 5am and let Wifey take over at that point. Finishing my coffee and peanut butter sandwich, then out to test my sprinklers to see if I laid the pipe well. If I did, I get to spend until 9am putting the dirt and sod back down, then getting to work for the day.
Got a new handyman involved in the built-in/family-room renovation for estimates. The estimate we got earlier this week was in the expected price range, but he uses top kitchen cabinets for the lower cabinets and our space is 56", which is not a standard size. He was pushing to use that size and just widen the fireplace, but we'd end up with three unequal sized segments on the wall. We have a carpenter who is very highly recommended and his work shows why, who will make things custom sized. The new handyman has done a lot of work for a friend from down the street, and doubles as a GC on a lot of his projects. He also apparently is a fan of pulling in specialists as needed (vs. doing everything on his own) and working as the GC with other already identified vendors. I'd GC, but my issue is that I have base metal framing of the fireplace surround that has to happen, then electrical and some A/V wire routing, then more work on the fireplace surround. That organization is my issue, which I assume @dan-o would agree is the frustrating part when the homeowner trying to do things on their own.

My folks have been in Boise since 98 or 99' I think. I did Y2k party in downtown Boise either the first or second year they were there, which is the only reason I remember that. And no. She's my brothers problem now. He's actually the one I feel bad for.

Aaaand after 5 minutes of cutting a feather stick, the new Tautog developed a small chip that revealed a crack in the blade. FML.

See, if you had bought a set of Mavic wheels you would have not had that problem.

White Ranch - Toshi C's 7.0 mi mountain bike ride
Fasted. Cleaned every last thing from the parking lot to the creek at the bottom of Lower Longhorn. (Then had two dabs from Whippletree back to the parking lot: going over the big optional rock by the lower creek, and one stupid dab in the rock garden.) 100% in Trail Mode.

Sorry dude, healing vibes...
Just had a long conversation with Tesla because their numbers were wonky. They are going to re-model with the same information that I have provided to everybody else that they conveniently didn't look at, at all. It will likely be a custom size because the "medium size" is 24 panels, while "large size" is 10 more. Most are coming back with 27-29 panels and factoring a car, which they did not. We shall see in 2 days.
When it rains, it pours. Take care of yourself.
