Morning.
We've got some big wigs visiting at work the next few days. I guess I should look productive today. You can always tell when people are visiting the building cause everyone shows up in the nicer end of our business casual dress code.

bored already.
It's funny, you train your ass off for a marathon for 16 weeks, then three weeks before the race you scale it back to allow your body to recover from training (we call that tapering). You'd think you would feel good during this time, but you actually feel way, way worse. You hurt everywhere and your runs feel like there is a piano strapped to your back. That is a good thing though...it is your body healing and recovering. After about three weeks, you are fully recovered and ready to kick some ass.
Since you asked.

so sing me a song, you're the piano running maaaannnnnnn
To my fellow Vets, thank you for your service. It is a honor and a privilege to serve with and be counted among you.
Did someone say coffee?

Usually do my long run on tuesday, but I seem to have contracted a bad case of teh fuckits due to the snow and cold. Oatmeal and coffee now, poop later. I doubt that I will even step out doors today.

Back when I was in good shape, I would get terrible leg pains if i didn't ride every few days. Now I just get the shakes when I don't drink enough.
Thank you to all my brothers and sisters who have served and are currently serving!
No day off today, coffee sounds good!
Starting the first real project in the apartment since we bought the place. Finally have some cash to spare to do it. Its all about cabinet space. We have not basement storage so storage is always a premium. Should also enable me to store my bike gear better and the bikes should hopefully be able to hang from the ceiling.
It's remembrance day here. Sigining of Armistice. Last week there was a work function where they organized a talk for a few veterans to come in and talk about their experiences. There was a veteran of D-Day. As I mentionned before, my mom is from Normandy, the house she lives in, my grandparents, had been requisitioned by Nazi officers during the war. I'd never met a D-Day veteran before, so it was my first opportunity to say thank you for liberating us. It was kind of surreal, given that I wasn't alive at the time, but it's my heritage, and it's something very real that he (and countless others) did and I'm happy I got to do it.
There was also a survivor of the Rwandan genocide there that day. The stories he told are revolting. I'm not sure how an individual can go back to living a normal life after witnessing what he did. war is revolting.
So today we give thanks to those who have served, and those that continue to do so. I find it sad that we still live in a time and place where the memories of war are real and vivid, and not some distant far off memory. I guess the world is an imperfect place, so we must thank those that put themselves in harms way to protect our values and ideals.
tldr; I have the day off, I'm going to enjoy my freedom by taking a nap and going to the movies with my wife.

Mornin!
Hung half a wall of drywall last night. Kind of a pain in the ass because the utilities/existing drywall having me split it into 6 sections. Hoping to get the other 3 up tonight so I can start getting mud on there and hiding my amateur drywalling job.

Nice and mild here today. As much as I love summer we have had a really nice warm and dry fall which has made for some really good riding. From last weekend
Morning Monkeys.
Happy V Day to all my vet brothers and stuff. I shouldn't even have to be here today! I doubt I will be in the office much, the weather is so damn nice. I need to be outside.

And a legit fire drill requiring building evacuation! Someone lit one of the production machines on fire. Good thing it was just the coolant and not the titanium.
I had a customer that had a large CNC machine that cut magnesium. Dumb ass operator was low on coolant and defeated a safety switch. Cutter was starved of coolant, magnesium caught fire, coolant started pumping again, water hit burning magnesium , hydrogen released, sparks ignite hydrogen, big fucking explosion.
It's fun because its the second time this year that the machine has caught on fire. Both are the result of people making vastly incorrect offsets, say, .090 instead of 2.090, and either burying a tool into the material or smashing the turret into the spindle. Ooopsies for them.
I love it when someone wants to take a million dollar machine and have a $10/hour moron operate it. Very profitable, for machine service companies.
I hope one of your $10/hr CNC operators never apply for one of our 15,000lbm ethanol processing jobs.
When your building burns down you'll get to meet my brother. He'd get a kick out of investigating a big industrial fire that doesn't require any travel.
it's a shame you can't take the guy out back and kick the shit out of him.
I willing to bet his head smells awesome!
