~~"sunny day gmt"~~

- Start date
After we spent all damn day moving, small dog got blasted in the face by a skunk last night when we let her out to pee right before bed. Need to return uhaul and clean the old house.
Up early, got a five mile run done, ate some EGG, and will hit Costco next.
Foster Dog was on the news last night but nobody has adopted her yet.

The drive to Ft. Collins is FAR. Really fun BBQ with the other Jr families.
Three of the kids have motors that sound different and have always been a *bit* more powerful coming out of corners, but I've never been able to figure out why. Turns out one of the dads is starting to tune the motors. He's been using the Jr kids motors as his testing ground while he perfects before he starts tuning as a service. So Haley will be getting hers tuned as well.
There was talk amongst the group about dropping from Jr1 and just focusing on Mini. All but one of the other kids there races micro or mini too (2-stroke; different age classes), so it would reduce costs for them. It would be putting them into a more powerful and competitive class, with a regional and national circuit for them to compete on. The really fast kids in the 8-13 age range locally all race micro/mini; some exclusively. It's worth a toll with Greg to see his thoughts. He's already pushing for her to get into a 2-stroke as-is. Then it's about getting her into one to see how she handles it.
The rest of today is financial planning updates and then prep for my interview at Schwab this week.

What engine is she using currently?
having lunch with mom after dad gets done with church; family friend coming over for a visit this afternoon; probably getting together with some childhood friends tonight. glad shutdown was averted/postponed so my flight home tomorrow won't get borked. have a good one, y'all!
Firefighters tried to recruit me to be a volunteer yesterday, cause "I look like I can handle it." Those firefighters really know how to flatter a guy.
Up early to buy some tri-trip and a work light. Somehow I've made it this far working only in ambient light sometimes to my great detriment, but no more!
Briggs & Stratton LO206 going to a Rotax Mini Max. The LO206 is basically a glorified lawn mower engine.
Pretty sure Sedona is the final level for Karen’s. They must migrate here.
In other news, apparently it’s been a while since I’ve used fusion 360 since everything is new, updated and changed, from when I was fluent last

About to pack up and hit the road for the drive back home. Hoping I don’t eat too much gas station crap along the way. Though an Arby’s turkey sandwich could be in my future.
Fucking do it, It's an incredible experience.

I agree. My garage is so much better to work in since I put lights inside of it.
slept in until 8am. We met with some friends in Pleasonton and went to eat at Oyo, central/south American cuisine. I had

Next time I’m up this way I should figure out if I can swing by for an espresso. Sacramento can’t be that far from you.
Afternoon. Had a long day yesterday...hosted team bonding/lunch before our "cup" game and we won!!! 2-0 then our boys soccer game won 3-0 (I chaperoned) and finally got home about 9:30pm. Up this morning to an amber alert that a 4th grader from our school is missing (since last night at 6:45) and the wording really creeps me out....praying she is found safe and soon! Heading out to do some leaf clean-up and then BBQing since it's beautiful outside.
meh
Cycled one of my bicycles also. Now I guess I should do some of the house repair stuff I ignore.
@jonKranked forgot to ask how much vert was in your ride yesterday?
Oof…had to buy tickets to Hartford Nov 17-26 (busiest travel day of the year)….$2500 for two of us.
At least the seats are semi-shitty.

The learning curve on the newest version of fusion 360 isn't as bad as I thought, just the small little side functions are tripping me up.
So this little Mexican bodega opened up in town next to Burrito Express (terrible) and I went in to check it out. Every Sunday they do a big batch of carnitas and have tamales. OMG, incredible. But you gotta get there before church gets out because that bitch got packed. And the carnitas is gone by noon. Seriously awesome and stupid cheap. I was afraid they might not get enough business but they seemed to be doing well today.
i wish i was flying out of denver...
Wife and I want tickets for a trip next March. Total price just went up an extra $2400. Guess we should have booked a couple of weeks ago if we wanted to go.
Yikes.
to where...?
not cheaper to fly to ny or boston and drive?
Dammit - a couple weeks ago there were barn-burner prices to Europe... Zurich was $550RT. I should have let you know.
I think it was once it got inside the 6 months until departure and then it jumped. Going via Munich and then a regional flight. Not many options for reasonable travel time and keeping it as a single booking - rather than booking the required two flights to destination separately.
