Good Morning!!

I simply cannot get over the awesome weather streak we're on for July/August. Normally, we're baking in the oven, but I'll take it. Work is cray. I now have 32 large custom sign projects going at the moment, and I'm all like: :panic::panic:

But then, I drink and I'm all like: :pilot:

Both bikes are all back together. Crabon wheels installed, both forks rebuilt, new cable/housing on both. Fully could use a brake bleed so maybe I'll get to that soon.

It's 75 and sunny today so I decided on taking a 1/2 day and going for a ride before the lady and I have date night tonight.

procrastinating getting the camper stocked up for a two day horse show this weekend. I'm taking along the road bike for a long ride post show on Saturday evening.

Had a good dinner with Five Beautiful women at Gus' Fried Chicken last night. Much to do today.Hopefully closing all loops on the PAX West project. Need to make some progress on two NBA projects that need to finish before the season starts. eLeague updates and modifications are on the 1 yard line, time to break out the whip and get someone to run the ball in. Someone remind me to get a truckdriver scheduled for monday.

Returning from Cooke City and family tour of Beartooth, Yellowstone and Glacier today with visions of epic singletrack dancing in my head.

Mornin!

Found my creme fraiche at the better grocery store last night and proceeded to use it to make some delicious scrambled eggs with pancakes, bacon, and watermelon for dinner. Best scrambled eggs I can recall.

And now it is Thursday. I intend to leave work a bit early and drive up into the mountains to pick up some truck stuffs.

Hell of a storm last night. Standing water in the low spot of the back yard postpones the yard work I did not accomplish yesterday. Running around doing kid/school stuff today.

The 220 is grounded through the operator but does not complete a circuit until the body comes in contact with the blade. If stray body parts do contact the blade the 220 shoots through the hapless operator sendimg them rocketing out and up similar to a jet fighter ejection seat.

Morning Monkeys.

Lots to do today, no parking in the lot (I was here by 6:30, this is ridiculous), and I need moar coffee.

The camp in the corner of the parking lot at work has gotten a lot larger. It has spread from the sidewalk onto the treed dirt section and will eventually take over the whole area by the stairs. It's crazy, they now have 4 trash bags hung up and parking for bikes and shopping carts. There seems to be at least 4 full time residents and as many as 8 just hanging out. It is more than a little concerning.

Dancin' over rocks n' roots!
Morning. I am officially unemployed :panic:Terrifying and somehow satisfying all at the same time. Packing cooler and fridge for the big road trip to MT for my private tour. Sad more monkeys aren't coming but stoked to ride with @Montana rider and @Serial Midget again and with Sq-Earl and the kids. Dog is following so close behind me that I have stepped on him twice already....it's going to be a long day for him. He gets anxious when we are packing (since we left him behind with my sister when we went to Savannah earlier this summer). He's going to love running around the country!

Picked up a Trail-a-bike for Alex and she's rippin on that so we should have some good times! Off to pack I go (and find my coffee again).

Still waiting on estimate from drivers side wheel (and probably other things) destruction on Tuesday afternoon. It's making me le nervous.

It's not on building property, it is on city property next to the overpass. They used to camp under the overpass, but it is now fenced off, so they have congregated to the landing at the stairs. It's 40 feet from my desk window, quite the view I have.

He can / should call the city and ask them to deal with it. If he won't, no one else will.
