Because you are the first one here.
Morning Monkies! I was out partying until 9:30 last night. 5 am came and went this morning but but 6AM cannot be ignored. Sluggish is an understatement. Kind of wish they still made cocain toothpaste.
Cocaine. I was poking around looking for toothpaste this morning and came across a pile of opiates prescribed for this and that since oh, say, 1845. They give me 50, I take one. Need to dump them all.
Dump them in public sewer and the whole town will be high for a week.
Morning. Up since 5:15AM because of work and early meetings. I am tired of the time difference with IST and my calendar being constipated between 7AM and 12PM with moar meetings in the afternoon pretty much every day.
Dogs fed coffee brewing. Since I lost weight I figured it was time to put my lightweight wheels back on the road bike.. Mavic Cosmic Elites, pulled them out of storage and the hub body was seriously gummed up. I could barely turn it. Pulled up the instructions for service and started taking it apart. effing could not get that damn hub body off. Ended up taking it to the shop. $60 and it now has new sealed bearings and the hub body rotates so smoothly. Can't wait to put the wheels back onto the Colnago.
wish I could skip work and go ride today

Most fire depts and pharmacies have a drug return policy, so you can keep the drugs from landfills and potential water contamination.
Good morning. Working. Ugh.
I believe pharmacies will take old drugs and dispose of them too.
Years ago I found myself with a box of very old ammunition of various calibre. I wasn't going to shoot it and wanted to dispose of safely so I took it to the police station. The cop looked at me like I had two heads. Maybe it was that, and I was carrying a big box of shells/bullets.

Mornin!
Good ride last night with a few fellow monkeys. Man I love riding my bike. I should probably show it some love, the rear end sounds like I have a baby bird in there for a damper. Chirp chirp chirp.

Leaving work at 2pm to go pick up wheels/tires in ye 'ol trailer down in Springfield, MA. Good day for a drive too, 62deg and sunny. Lift is currently out for delivery. Re-read the install manual for the 11th and 12th time last night....helping to ease the apprehension of taking an angle and/or die grinder to such a new vehicle. YOLO, amirite?

For the bumpstops, I have to cut the jounce tubes in the front down about 1.5-2", making sure it's as straight as possible. Gonna try with a few pipe cutter setups first, but will resort to the angle grinder and cutoff wheel as plan B.
Might have to die grind a couple cutouts on the spring perches for the fitting to the remote reservoir on the Fox shocks (about 1" wide, 1" deep)...said sometimes you do, sometimes you don't. But that's less of a concern.
fuggit indeed
If you want I'd be happy to take an angle grinder to your Jeep. IDGAF.
Just remember to paint your freshly exposed metal otherwise your poor heep will be another victim of MA rot.

I'll be fluid-filming it every fall (like I did last fall) to help with that....but that shit's inevitable. Unfortunately.
I don't know if I'm any less angry, depressed, and/or violent, but I did sleep like a baby last night. I feel like I lost a fight this morning though, even my goddamn thumbs hurt. WTF?
This reminds me. I should go shopping for new wheels for the single speed. It's been months since I rode the commuter to work after the rear wheel came apart on me.. Mavic Cosmic Elites, pulled them out of storage and the hub body was seriously gummed up. I could barely turn it. Pulled up the instructions for service and started taking it apart. effing could not get that damn hub body off.

Lies.
I'm looking out my windows and it's dumping snow.
Huh. Hasn't started down here on the western plains yet.
I drove the kids in and drove myself in just in case… and am planning on exiting the building about 1 PM after the second of two meetings today.
Did you drink booze after your massage?

.
I did not.
At Starbux waiting out traffic in @Toshi's neck of the woods (Pena Blvd) after taking Mom to the airport this morning.
1997 Subaru - 200K miles. Original exhaust. One tiny spot of rust on the front pillar from a rock strike back in 1997.
Or perhaps he's doing it right.
Odd.... I know booze after a massage can make you feel like shit the next day. Maybe they went too deep into your tissue.
Garmin 920? Because if so, you got a good deal. Mine was $550 with HRM-Run strap.
Just started snowing @ casa de Pesqueeb.
I've got a half marathon Saturday. It's going to be 60 degrees and raining. WTF, February?
Should be a.....fun race.

Ftfy.
I'm about this close > < to quittng drinking entirely. Aside from the social aspect of meeting a friend for a beer, I'm over it.
Yea. This week has been something of a revelation for me. Not sure I'm going to go full AA, had two glasses of wine the other night with friends over wine and cheese and had fun, but as far as work-a-day or at home drinking, I think I'm done.
It's now full on dumping snow. Time to get naked!
Orly? How did you figure this out?
735XT w/ TRI package. It was $600, but the watch itself is $450
you must have a low stress job
