Mornin!
Powerful storm cell whipped through last night,, and we've been without power since 6 pm last night, with the estimated resumption at 9 am today. So now I will casually sit here and relax as my work computer is dead.
Have a good Thursday!

slept like shit as @Adventurous's storm knocked out our power in the middle of the night, and I got anxious about the kids waking up to no night lights or noisemakers. Good thing the big one is a rock star and didn't care. She apparently woke up in the night, grabbed the chemlights I dropped in the hall and went back to bed with them as a night light.
Today is going to drag, I have the feeling.

Coffee absorbed. Slept good, probably part in fact because dinner came from inside the shopping complex on the corner and, had them can a beer to-go. Have not had a beer in a couple months so I slept like a chunk of coal.
NEW BIKE DAY NEW BIKE DAY!
Socially distanced plague patrol to follow.

Met FT for a beer or three last night, so naturally reverted back to absolute shit sleep. Im exhausted.
Looking forward to seeing 'squeeb's new bike and the death-virus lunch shuttles.

slept like a brick. Espresso and oatmeal consumed. I anticipate the resultant processes to kick in shortly. May take the dogs for a walk before I head off to work
So you folks that are already losing power in storms. Buy a generator already, its going to get worse in the winter

Breakfast burrito consumed. En route to riding.
I don't understand the thread title but I will assume it is today's GMT based on the posts in the thread. I ran a "virtual race" this morning - 6.2 miles at 6:54 pace. Not a hard race effort...I just wanted to run under a 7:00 pace without working too hard. Felt great. This was my first run in probably two months where I felt no pain in my grumpy calf.
So I ran on the high school track and needed to hit the portapotty before the run. The sign on the door clearly read "STUDENTS ONLY." Don't tell anyone but I POOPED ANYWAY. I had to go, man!!
Possible new bike day for me. I am still waiting for Bike Shop Boy to tell me it is ready. I am riding with splat and others Saturday and would really like to have my new bike for that ride.

good for you....brother said he could have gotten one of those....told him he would have waited awhile....
Looks like something is dragging, that can't be good.
<Edit> also, this is why you use the appropriate springs and not lift blocks with HUGE U bolts.
panhard bar. To work well they need to be as parallel to the axle as you can get. So with a big lift you need to significantly lower the body link, which they didn't.Looks like something is dragging, that can't be good.

Also why people making real offroaders use something like a triangulated 5 link setup.
Good gawd I don't know if I can take working from home anymore. Not really me working from home but everyone else. We seem to have this idea what we need 100% consensus on everything we do. But there is always at least one person who isn't listening, so we have a team of people who seem to agree to something, but at least one person isn't paying attention so the next time the subject comes up someone isn't on the same page so we have the same fucking conversation again, and at least one person doesn't pay attention so it just keeps going and going and going.
We have been having the same rather unimportant argument for 3 months.

On the way to Bromont.
Stopped at a gas station and just watched this guy driving a Mercedes A something or other make a tight turn and plowed the front of the uhaul trailer being towed right into the post next to the gas pump. While stuck i could hear him trying to keep pulling forward. As I'm pulling out of my pump he then almost backs into me twice. Had to get out of the truck and yell at him to use his eyes. His face was just clueless.... fuckin idiot.

1st Trail ride of the year, on street tires, with rain and fallen leaves, and only a rear brake...
Was awesome!!!!
Feeling pretty good too.

My bike is ready!! I'm going to get it this afternoon. Now, will I pick it up before Pesqueeb gets his???? I did call my credit card company to give them a heads up about the charge.
5 weeks
Well, Squeeb is riding today and I am not, so he'll have me beat there.First ride?
Who scratches their new bike first?
Rain stopped and sun came out. Ride night, but have "meet the teacher" night for my boys tonight. An opening appeared in my calendar around lunch, so I took advantage of it. It was a glorious ride.
Winner winner chicken dinner. Won for my max bid of $7680. Not the screaming deal I was hoping for, but still $3319 less than the dealers price. I have 7 days to pick it up, the boy is off on Mondays, so hope for that.
Big bday bike ride in the books. 3hrs, 22 miles, 2300 vert. Sunny, breezy, and low 60s. Pretty much perfect.
Hobo birdie!
Well, now... that was a shitload of fun. And such an appropriate "intro" for @Pesqueeb's new bike. Esp since it's a "Smash" - we did two full laps plus a bonus climb/Enchanted descent on the 2nd.
Apex is *really* smashy right now. I approve.
As was already pointed out... @Pesqueeb got his this morning, and we've already done a few hot laps at the local rock garden to shake things out. Bike seems to work real well... even though 'squeeb ignored my destructions to stay on my wheel.
So smashy!Apex is *really* smashy right now. I approve.
Happy birthday @MMike !Happy bday Jon!!
