Last derp before the long weekend.
Where's the Friday thread?? >-|o
- Thread starter 6thElement
- Start date
Hello and Happy Friday, my wonderful internet friends! Three day weekend! Well, for most people anyway. Not for me though because I signed up for a training session for work at it starts Monday, which is fine because it's only five hours and I can do it from home and save the PTO. The training is on business process redesign, which I am sure you guys are very jealous about.
AAAAAAnyway, after biking and running last night (commonly referred to as a "brick workout"), I ran again early this morning, and my legs were all FTS.

What is this "holiday weekend" everyone keeps speaking of?
Once again got roped into end of the school year kid/teacher shenanigans yesterday. Need to accomplish household crap today. Kid is upstairs watching star wars. Perhaps bicycles and ice cream this afternoon.
I'm staring down the barrel of another solo-parenting weekend.
wife just dropped the kids off at forest school. they were pretty foul this morning, so I hope forest school "re-centres" them....
It's also going to rain all weekend, so outdoor play will be difficult. There's a new Lego sculpture exhibit at the museum of science and tech this weekend, that's close to the train station we'll be picking my wife up from. May try and hit that up (we're members, and have a parking pass, so it's "free" and easy. good for a few hours anyways).
Yesterday was wife's birthday. t'was a good day. spa in the morning/afternoon, home for a quick 'nap', then lobstah for dinner and gelato for dessert.

Morning Monkeys.
Hope for a short day, I know the drive home will suck ass. I might go a very long way and not worry about it.
Looking forward to some woods time this weekend. Can I go home now?

Have mowed some lawn, talked to a contractor about replacing an old garage, and done some trail politics.
Planning to ride this afternoon.

friderrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp!
Rode some bikes in the woods last night. Turned into a longer ride than I anticipated, but fun was had. Gotta maximize the long days when you can.
Woke up well before my alarm today. Used that extra time to pedal into work. Legs are smoked, so it will be a mellow mission home tonight.
Get after it today.

Mornin!
Sneaked out for a ride last night with the wife so she could get acquainted with her new bike. All seemed to go pretty well, though I think she will have to swap the saddle out and cut down the bars. Either way, fun was had, though it's now apparent that my RaceFace Turbine seatpost is garbage. Gonna need to do something about that.

Hmm, dilemma time. I am out of the office 5/26 - 6/6, boss is out 6/1 - 6/17. I was going to give my 2 week notice on 6/11. So I either wait until he's back and give him 1 week notice, email him my resignation (pretty lame way to do it), or give a 4 week notice today. I am not thrilled with any of these options.
Think it over, as soon as you bail on work immediately and ride Mountain Lion with Toshi and 6th this morning.
I wonder how many times @6thElement could lap us if he tried.
I was about you try and convince @Toshi, you and @SkaredShtles that today is a perfect day for WG laps after midday.
Drinking coffee after walking the dogs in the woods by the lake. Oh did I mention the fact the wife decided that we needed a 4th dog? And that as of two days ago we picked up another Aussie. He is 21 weeks old
What's your solution with the dogs when you're camping and both of you head out onto the lake all day?
Good Morning!!
It's a humid day out there, folks....deodorant is working overtime already.
Just got back in the office from installing some wall graphics in the kids play room at the local hospice center. It was a cool aquarium theme that looked pretty awesome on the wall.
We're heading out to the coast this evening, so I'm looking forward to a few days of fishing and cold tops.
Y'all be cool people and remember the ones we lost and honor the ones we have.

camper is well insulated. Windows and roof hatch open and the fantastic fan roof vent set on 2-3 to create a nice airflow, shades pulled down, big water dish.
Sure sounds like a good idea... however, oldest kid turns 17 today, so b-day nonsense will be taking priority...
Also - bike still at shop.
Le tired, I have been through some exhausting two weeks, cannot wait for the moment I leave the office today. Still planning to go to Thunder on Sunday even if weather looks only so-so. Beer with a friend tonight, a ride with a buddy tomorrow morning, DH on Sunday, home improvements on Monday.
You've already made your choice. I say pull the chute now. If you feel inclined to give two week notice for professional reasons, or whatever, do it now, right now. 4 weeks is bullshit, mentally, you've already checked out. If you get shit from your boss, today is your last day. Congratulations!
This - ideally the boss will tell you to just bag it before *he* goes on vacation and pays through the "end date"...
So one of my colleagues is a fitness instructor. She started doing "bootcamp" classes in the mornings/over lunch a couple of weeks ago.
Since I didn't ride yesterday, and probably won't ride this weekend, I decided to give a "high intensity interval" class a try today at lunch. I'm pretty worked. the ol' thighs and groin are screamin'. Sure would be nice to do this more regularly to strengthen the core. Last time I did this with any regularity, it made a yuge difference to my riding.

Donkey bike ride last night turned into a beer cruise. Not sure how that happened... We stopped at a buddies house and the dude kept feeding us beers. I'm not complaining though, riding winding paved and gravel paths with no human pylons is a lot of fun.
I fear the cottage bound traffic on the freeway tonight, but I'm going to try to meetup with a some peoples for an evening ride. More like a moving shed ride, with those guys...

Was supposed to get out of work at noon. Everything is so fucked up I'm not going to get out of here until... ??
Try it now?
On my way home. Beer and burger in my near future. Bikes through the weekend. I can deal with this.
Finishing up work from a coffee shop in Durango, gonna go ride Test Tracks at 5p and then head to Ska Brewing. Camping somewhere's tonight, then off to Cortez to ride Phil's World tomorrow. #notbad #funandemployed #workingremotely
at them. That said, they seem to be more better at building cars than we were when we started?
Saw that... it's a good looking car. The quote below, though... makes me
