Mornin!
Forgot to set my alarm last night but somehow managed to wake up early. No matter, bike is locked in the back of the truck and I'm ready to visit the dirt church tonight.

another shit night. one of my kids seems to be fighting something and has been waking up a lot. maybe tonight will be better as it seems the heat is about to break (along with the humidity).
four days till our annual fathers day extravaganza. No kids, no spouses. just beers, bikes, and buddies.

Morning. I was told not to ride for 48 hrs post an oral surgery I had done yesterday but I am ready for an easy ride tonight if storms permit. Last night was hot and humid, I am ready for cooler temps starting tomorrow.
drinking covfefe and hanging with kids while wife goes to dr. appt to confer over and schedule pre-emptive surgery (her family has the cancer gene-brca1/2). ugh. fts. at 42 or any age.
'Morning. LMFAO!! I took the tri bike out for a one hour workout this morning before work. I should do that more often. Daylight, warm air, and no traffic at 5:30 in the morning was very, very nice. I've got an off-road triathlon after work. 450 yard swim, 5 mile MTB, 3 mile trail run. Should be fun!
Coffee kicking in, time to poop.
A long road ride before gym, then a long road ride and then pumptrack was not a good idea. Now I have t-rex arms. Can't straighten them out. The pain is mitigated by the fact that the boss of one of the subcompanies screwed up so massively and is panicking so hard it makes Spongebob look like an inspirational leader.
Snowing here above 8k. There is still a 100" base above 10k. Ridiculous.
Saw this in a restaurant in Hollywood.
Pretty certain I've got a hernia. Groin pain is epic. Limping along.

T-1day to puppy landing. I'm getting kinda giddy...
Decided at about 10:30 last night to wake up at 4:50 to go for another pre-work ride. Glad I did because the rain is a-comin', and we're going camping in Squamish this weekend sans-bikes. The cooler, damper morning weather is really the best time to ride. The conditions were amazing, and I "crushed" a few climbing segments which usually kick my lungs in the balls. Just kept pedaling. Made it up and back to my house in just over an hour. 10.4km and about 450m of climbing.
Rode most of the climb without stopping, and rode all of the descent non-stop. My hands were still holding strong when I pulled over for a berry feast.
I'm becoming IAB!!! (only I'm doing fun stuff)
And just because, here is a fun spot at the end of my ride. This is a chicane between a couple of big-ass trees. Tacky dirt + new magic mary up front = awesome.
Now, a dentist appointment in 30 mins. I will make him earn his dentist bike. I have coffee breath.

Pet peeve: sending an email then following it up immediately with a phone call. You can do one or the other but not both.
Pretty much my policy. If I have an email I have no reason to answer the phone. And when I don't answer the phone I get an email. It's a self-solving problem most of the time.
That's rule #1.
what flavor?T-1day to puppy landing. I'm getting kinda giddy...
little breeds can be the best breeds and don't let anyone tell you different.

Hello.
So, notice has been served. 9 working days left here then on to greener pastures, I hope.
The way I look at it, the slightest bit of improvement is worth it to get away from a place with no drive or signs of improvement...
Wont hurt to learn a new brand, 10 years with one manufacturer gets boring.

Cockapoo, we're told
Half my jimmydean and one of my boostindoubles is now purple. Slightly disconcerting but everything is still working fine so....
Also I think sitting at my desk all day yesterday made the swelling worse. Might be a big baby and go home early today.

I am not quite sure, but when I left one of the previous jobs, there were about 500 of them on my desk phone.What's "voicemail"?
I would ask "What's a phone?"....but my wife reminds me a few times a day.What's "voicemail"?
Stoned Meadow of Doom might be the most useful thing on YouTube. Discovered a few bands today.
I thought that was a bird...
Please see post #22 above.
To be fair, she usually texts.
