'Tis the start of crazy concert season for music teacher me. Dress rehearsal and concert with my 7/8 band & handbell groups Thursday. Next week have HS and 5/6 groups and the following week 4th grade before rounding out the month with 7-12 marching band in the local parade. I will be so happy when June is here.

Like diarrhea. . .
STILL?!? You should probably see a doctor about that...
could potentially push things into the mid 50s. tracking to 60 as it is. i need to talk to some friends I know on this one (that aren't you guys) who could give me some first hand accounts.
We shall see. I need to get it down the the shop for inspection. It doesn't seem right, but he can put it on the jig to check. Given there is only one retail shop in Denver-metro, anything we do will be with them and he is the only person that can assess it.
My focus is getting my friend a new trailer, checking my car, and making sure the kart's okay.
doing stuff you do not like from now until mid 50s is a long-ass time
The question is, is it unlikable enough to outweigh the likability of early retirement?
Work is always radiation, sometimes it's low dose, sometimes it's Elephant's foot, but over a long enough period of time it adds up and your brain melts. The key is finding a dosage you can stand for much longer than the duration you have to stand it, you could be bulldozing forests in the suburbs, or you could be a "human robot" on the roof shoveling graphite back into the building, but we're all liquidators at Chernobyl one way or another.
I think most here aren't fully aware of my uh, scenario if you will. I could change nothing about my current lifestyle and still retire early (~60) with both kids' college fully paid for.
Had 3 cool bikes to work on today. Test rides add up. I am hoping to go into the season with a better fitness level then last year. Rehabbed my fork with parts from an old fork. So far so good.
There are days when I have 6 hours of meetings at work when I welcome the reprieve that diarrhea provides.
How is the leg?
Yikes...I'm guessing with the buildings there that this isn't normal. Is it a flood plain?
Better. Can walk without pain. Might try a spin tomorrow. Need to get that assessed though.
people laugh at the art history guy but damn, i actually like my job, the flexibility i have, and don't gaf about when i retire because i don't hate my job.
now my kids...get those fuckers up and outta here.

well, it's along the Ottawa river. So yes, there are floodplains, but this is above "normal" floods. I think this is a 50-year flood. But the problem is it's happened 3 times in the past 6 years: we've had two 50-year floods and one 100-year flood.
A buddy of mine posted these over the weekend:
He's in Aylmer. That's Ottawa across the river.
Municipalities are loathe to update floodplain maps (as it would seriously curtail their tax base). But some governments are (finally) beginning to cut off aid to places that are repeatedly flooding... sounds harsh, I know, but it's ridiculous that people keep moving back into houses that are repeatedly flooding, and the government keeps bailing them out (no pun intended!).

I might even go so far as to suggest that the US Army Corps of Engineers wrote the playbook on this one...
YES!!! I am SO tragically out of riding shape right now. My load lightens after June 6th.
