Santa Morticia woke me up at 4:30 AM, managed to get back to sleep, didn't crawl out until seven.
Company has burdened me with a wireless speaker as a holiday gift. I'd rather nothing.
What do I do with this thing? Crank it full volume while riding or something?
Gonna try biking to work despite my back pain. I have a feeling that part of the pain is due to lack of exercise...
I recall ISO as being pretty idiotic as it evolved. Standardization to quell innovation.
I use one for trailbuilding.

Morning Monkeys.
Last night we got to hear the winner and runner ups for the 2 essay competitions we have each year for "Voice of Democracy" and the "Patriots Pen". The winner of VoD and runner up for PP were brother and sister home schooled by mom. I have a feeling it was a parent that wrote both, but I'm not a judge, just the guy who signs the checks. $250 first place, $100 for 2nd. We only had a few entrants, so you take what you can get.

We have had a few win the state level but have not had a national winner yet.

I've felt like hell for two days now and saw my doc this morning. He says it's covid, lmao. Drugs incoming! Plus quarantine. Honestly I am glad it's something. Doc says I ran my marathon with it Sunday and told me to cut myself some slack for the bad race.
2nd interview today. So difficult to know if I did well but cool office on the water in center of Copenhagen and people I met were nice. Fingers crossed.

I went from no concerts since covid started to three in the last three weeks. Last night was an all star event for a homeless charity here in LA. Billy from Biohazard was involved along with a few other notable names in the metal world. The highlight for me was seeing Charlie from Goldfinger on stage with Roy from Ministry. They had an amazing punk/metal cover band ages ago, and it was a great time machine to hear them do Sonic Reducer again. They also crushed a version of AC/DC’s Walk All Over You with a member of the Dropkick Murphys.
Hello friends.
Need to finish RMSS shopping and family shopping today. Found a warm body today, that actually wanted my seed.
I bought new sets of Force 22 and Force AXS, 170's with chainrings for cheaper than buying just the chainrings, for my wife's two road bikes this week. Opportunity to swap her from 172.5 to 170's and put fresh rings on them both at negligible cost once I sell the old. The Force 22 bike is close to 10 years old so no harm in a refresh, particularly for the small ring.
Cool stuff! Need it asap though, so I'll gettho it.Custom Bike Tools

I have to keep my eyes peeled for a deal, but I'm sure I'll find something. There are plenty of easton ea90 cranksets out there, but I'd love to move away from cinch. that just adds to the cost unfortunately.

Was troubleshooting something remotely, via coworker in the building, who was dealing with maintenance/production. We weren't getting anywhere and I couldn't understand what the friggin hold up was, so I said screw it and drove to work. I go look at this control panel filled with Siemens stuff and find a bunch of unplugged cables, cables that go out of the panel into thin air and some switch thing connecting it to another identical machine (??).
Took forever to figure out where one single cable went to fix the problem. I should have walked up, saw that its a controls persons problem and walked away. Dammit.
Coffee'ing it now.

MIL left the fridge open last night. Was 50*+ when I came down this morning and the compressor wasn't working. The last time we had it replaced, the service guy said that it was time to replace the fridge with the number of "ready to die" pieces. Giddy.
Just got an email from the team that it will be warm enough for a training day this weekend, so to the track we go. Assuming that Haley's kart is assembled...

I learned the hard way a year or two ago, that one should not touch a compressor that isn't working correctly.
Our rental last summer had a fridge like that. It would cool the compartments fine, but the divider and door were lava. Like, so hot you couldn't touch them. AirBnB owner said it was fine, that's just how it runs. OKAY THEN.
sounds like the situation was completelyKill list engaged
