About to turn 3. She's excited about it. Bedtime is painful though. Right before bed - potty time. Read book, in bed - I need to go potty. Just about asleep 25min later - I need to go potty. It's good that she wants to go and does, but it makes bedtime 1.5hours long.
¡Friday buenos dias!

Cushcore was a bit of a pain but if I can handle it you can as well
Toshi's thread
A rare glimpse, rarely seen in the wild, of the Toshi-beast actually clean-shaven. Alt title: imagine a world where everyone was on androgen deprivation therapy… Such immediate face itchiness! And note the irritation on my neck from shaving there as well.

:facepalm:
it definitely takes some effort, especially if your rims are on the narrow end of the width rangeCushcore was a bit of a pain but if I can handle it you can as well

Lemme guess... Oatmeal, apples, and cinnamon?
2019 Yeti SB150 with an X0 build. Probably get something a little less Endurogressive™ and more trail oriented, but still handles the guhnar. Likely something 130-140mm out back, 29er, slackish and fun. I really do love that SB150, and it's fast as hell, but I'm overbiked for a lot of stuff and have decent enough skills that a "smaller" bike is fine for me in the stuff where the 150 really shines. That said, one of my primary riding buddies has a Gnarvana and we ride the same size bike, so I am totally gonna "demo" that Bad Larry. There's a TON of great bikes out now. But who am I kidding? Whatever brand of bike I end up getting next, it'll probably say Yeti on the downtube.
It's a size large, but I don't think this is the bike for your dad. Details on year/model/build above. Happy to chat why I don't think it'd be a great bike for him, but the short answer is: I don't think it's a great bike for anyone who's not riding pretty dang aggressively and/or racing Enduro or riding bike park a ton. It's just... a LOT of bike. I love it, but I don't think it's for everyone. Hell, it's not even always for me, even though I love it.

Probably falls within the Cushcore genre. Porn for fatties.
eggs milk and some other stuff IIRC
a gnarvana is even more bike than the SB150. maybe try it anyways then look at the smash or trail pistola.2019 Yeti SB150 with an X0 build.

The Gnarvana is a straight-up stupid silly amount of bike, no arguing about it.
I can't wait to hoon the shit out of it.
if you like it, you really should check out its little brothers
My team is pretty great. The discussion started because my office plants have attracted a few gnats.
Who doesn't like plants?

God damn training guy drops 11 modules on us last night at 6 pm, then shoots out the "delinquency" report at 1 pm today with all of our names on it.
I highly desire a magnificent bonsai, or perhaps a plant world in a bottle, residing upon my desk. I believe this would bring me great joy.
Here,
Feeling pretty wicked today, back finally gave up the fight and the hurt is gone. Mobility 100%
Thank you CBD/THC...

My laptop has gotten increasingly flakey. They just gave me this new one a few months ago, but it froze, rebooted, and couldn't find the drive on boot. Good times. It's Friday and I don't want to deal with this crap.
For all of you brahs running tubeless on your MTB, how often do you get a flat? Because I got one on my last ride, and I was like WTF I thought these things were indestructible. I wouldn't have gotten a flat if I went for a run instead. I hate my life.
Also I just cleaned up yellow dog vomit. The vomit was yellow, not the dog. At least she didn't walk through it and track it across the floor.

flat from a puncture, or from a pinch?
Since I've gone toobless I've had maybe 4-5 flats (that's over many years) and usually due to a serious pinch that tears the tire.
did you call the shop and ask if you can get the bike replaced under warranty?
have you considered trying it now?
sounds like you need to refer to jbp's tires for fat people thread
Chain wore out, time to upgrade.
Probably a mountain bike.
Hell yeah, always.
Gonna hoon one on a demo, but not likely.
Let me guess - Maxxis Exo casing? Schwalbe anything less stout than SG casing?
On the never side of seldom.
Haley's desk is done. Not perfect, but done. Mounting the drawer was shockingly difficult. Next time I build a drawer, I will start with a drawer then build out from there.
Edit: it was built almost entirely out of scrap. I think my total cost is $45 for the desk sliders and because I had to get a sheet of 1/4" for the drawer base.

Had a 1:1 with my boss. There are impending re-orgs. He said he wants me to be a "Strategy Leader". I don't know what that means, but what the hell.
He wants you to be his Stephen Miller for the upcoming purges would be my guess.
I think the strategy will be more around factory automation. But if he wants me to burn robots, I will.
Had some brodozer fun with the GoPro just for shits. Kept checking the rearview for a Hero8 bouncing down the road.
How well does that drag link attenuator work? Noticeable?
I've bever been in a SFA vehicle with one of those equipped.
It does seem to work.....how well, hard to say. I had some front end looseness earlier this year (no context thread?), which turned out to be 10% failing TRE (found first), and 90% lower ball joint on the driver's side, which I found out most recently. Prior to the ball joint replacement, I put the SteerSmarts HD tie rod assembly and drag link in, and the difference was definitely noticeable as far as feedback at the steering wheel and tracking. However, how much of that difference was a result of the new HD linkage replacing the worn stock junk vs. the attenuator? Hard to say. But I bet the attenuator itself was a minor improvement overall, and was more or less a waste of money. But it had a sweet red boot, so YOLO AMIRITE?
Now if only I can find a local tire place that can reliably balance these MTRs
