¡hilo de buenos días!

- Start date
For whatever reason, Hilarie woke up and rattled about about every hour and a half last night. Wonderful serenade by eastern coy dogs as I arose at 4:45. To the dentist this morning.
woke up just ahead of the alarm clock, This lets me sip my espresso and that pleases me. Out the door at 0400

buenos dingos, amigos
not much to report. Changed my workout yesterday as I read that 8-12 reps leads to more muscle mass than low, 4-6 reps, so now I can't move my arms. Good workout this morning too.
Currently waffling between a CPO CX-5 signature and a Genesis 5.0... bad MPG on the genny but $8k less expensive...

Get the Genesis, you know you want it.
Hoping for a short ride in the swamp this evening.
You're not wrong, but after making the passionate decision with the Alfa, I want to make a more rational one this time. That being said, it's unlikely I'll ever be able to buy a V8 again...
Woke up at 5:15 with a blazing headache that has settled itself down with the help of Aleve. Working in the office today and busy as hell. Ever since taking over for the old manager, I have been so.frikkin.busy at work....not in a stressful, angry, bullshit kind of way though like my old job...just a lot of work to do, making me feel more useful than I really expected.

third and final day in the office for the week. wanted to ride some DH for my bday this weekend, but looking increasingly likely that i'm going to get rained out. 
Getting both shots yesterday may have been a mistake. I feel like shit. 
LE WORK
Boss sent me a long email which started off saying "I'm off today and so is ******, so you're in charge today". Dammit. Now I need to find the shit before it hits the fan.
Oh well. Today is my Friday and tomorrow the girlfriend and I are driving to Quebec City.

Did it 7 or 8 years ago. It's a good feeling once it officially gone. Been trying to convince Wifey, but her and her friends don't have a forum like this nor call each other regularly to talk. She also has more than like 8 friends, which makes it easier for me.
Hmm I should get around to doing that as well. I have an account but haven't used it in like 10 years.
when you see how difficult they make it for you to delete you may feel even better that you did it.
I still have an account that I post the random picture now and then. Lets my family know I am still alive without having to actually talk to them. It would seem that the people I am friends with do the same thing. I have no political or other BS posts in the feed, just the odd picture of kids, pets, engagements and pregnancy announcements.
On the Skimonkey front Le Uncle @Nick has started the ski search for Haley. I told her this morning and her response was her normal brutally sarcastic one - "Good. He knows what he's doing". Boots are going to be harder on me though. I think I'm going to have to order 4-5 pairs of boots to try on, hopefully finding one that fits. Evo thankfully has a location in Denver, so I might just buy a bunch from them, then schedule a fit and return the extras. They tend to not charge for fits if you buy boots from them.
Also studying. Had to get my test date pushed 30-days because insurance is so fucking convoluted. I always knew people would get suckered into it, but the deeper I get into it, the less I like it.

I want to do this, but I agree with @Westy about posting a photo twice a year and it's also really, really useful for selling bike shit. I use it more for local classifieds than I do to check on my friends. It went from a great way to stay in touch to "i'd rather be left alone, thanks"
A great way to keep in touch with people you don't really want to keep in touch with.
That was my excuse, except I wasn't posting shit. Just getting annoyed by my personal algorithm deciding I only needed to see posts from the weird kid from HS who posts hundreds of individual workout set counts and 70s-90s music videos, and the fat kid from HS who only posts look-out-I'm-a-lone-wolf-dangerous-old-man memes.
Still have insta, but mainly for pictures with dad-joke captions. Zoot Markleberg would go a long way in gaining full access to my personal data if a regular-ass timeline was restored.

One of the guys I sometimes ride with has his TRUMP bumper sticker on the driver's side window of his truck - his wife won't let him put one on the bumper in case she has to ride with him.
The secret with shots is to always have a chaser.Getting both shots yesterday may have been a mistake. I feel like shit.
enjoy...you deserve it...Email received this AM: Congratulations you old bastard, you have been approved for Medicare
What do you think of all those people who refuse to wear masks for covid?
stay in their lane....
Hello Monkeys.
My semi-annual tire binge continues. I finally had a decent run on the Ground Control T7/T5 combo - 23psi front, 25 rear. Recommended minimum is 25. I also softened up the fork and slowed the rebound one click resulting in no unintentional tire lift. Pedal effort reduced from last ride, didn't need to brake as much in tight turns.
Ordered a Maxxis DHF 2.6 for the Giggle Pig, OEM closeout for $55 + $8 flat rate shipping at maxxis.com
Going to the LBS for a spoke and maybe Recons for the GT.

I did not bike commute today. Had to be closer to on time (as I'm reading ED and inpatient studies today as opposed to less time sensitive outpatients) and also have kid pickup duties after work.
Tonight will be sushi and sashimi. Whetting my palate with smoked salmon during the day.

Dammit. Now I'm hungry for sushi.
Left over fajitas for lunch.
