Little one woke up at 5:30, now I can't go back to sleep... May as well get the GMT started !

Good ride last night, except for the 5 flats. 4 of which were one persons.4! All in the space of 20 minutes...

Time for coffee now. have a good day everybody!

[Serial Midget]

It's it's about 5 AM here in SLC, I will be hitting the road in about an hour as the traffic here can get very heavy.

 

[jstuhlman]

waiting on the sun to make an appearance...in the meantime, coffee's drippin'.

 

[eric strt6]

same shit different day.

on the home front we are getting the camper ready to head to the coast with hte horse for the weekend. Wife is riding in a clinic with a top trainer and I get to chill out and drink cold beverages

 

[StiHacka]

Meh.

 

[stevew]

Greenhouse heater is heating bongshed.

that's what i thought.

what are you growing in this greenhouse? (serious question, but bongshed comments are welcome too)

 

[stevew]

puppy duty while my brother continues expelling food out both ends for the fourth day in a row....doctor calls it a severe stomach bug.

his oldest boys observation yesterday as he's blowing chunks.....boy when you get sick you don't mess around!

Just remembered a scary moment of last night's ride... my buddy with the 4 flats... his third flat was a front flat in a fast flowy line through a pine stand. He must have got his flat before he stacked caus' he wasn't able to make a mild corner (more like a bend in the trail), and hit a tree head on. He had nothing, other than a small scrape on his ankle and he took the saddle to his manhood. As we were picking his bike up from against the tree, we found a quart bottle of beer, broken at the foot of tree, right where he had fallen. How he didn't land on it is unexplainable to me. but it would have been had he done so...

 

[canadmos]

Oops. First day working from my office since last Friday. Apparently I left one of these crappy apples on my desk and it has turned to mush. It kinda stinks too.

Time to do this work thing and then head home to go riding. The news this morning said that it will be a little warmer today, but a chance of thunderstorms. Woot.

This is why I'm an advocate of drinking from cans on the trail, if you must. A tallboy of PBR isn't going to hurt anyone (except maybe whoever drank it), but a smashed Colt 45 bottle will gut you and your tires like a fishy.

 

[Adventurous]

Meh.

Ditto. On-call today/tonight, let's see how I anger the thundercunt this time.

 

[Nick]

today will be better. (repeat as needed)

 

[Pesqueeb]

Hungover. Think i'm going to spend most of the day avoiding people. It seems like a good day to choke a bitch.

 

[DirtyMike]

Just over fourty miles of hard hiking/running over two days. First day, got into antelope three times, three misses... Second day nothing but chasing ghosts. Would love to say the rifle is off, but it isn't, it was all me.

 

[Toshi]

Howdy all. Wife had burning eyes from contacts/contact solution so I drove Mariko to school instead of riding to work as planned. Even when I drop her off at the earliest part of the permissible window I still can't get to work quite on time, not that rolling in 5 minutes late matters.

I also buried this in yesterday's thread, but I finally got a closing date for the house we're building. Dec 22, which actually is perfect since I already planned to work New Year's week (and thus have Christmas week off).

 

[skibunny24]

Mornin'. Just had a weird phone call with the new boss.... It really confused me about the position I will be in with new employee. More to come in November when they start I guess. I doubt the magic 8 ball will say anything but "Reply hazy, try again later." Hmph.

Ran for a few miles, then rode my bike in the woods for a while last night and it ruled! I really needed that. May hit repeat tonight!

Ok, back to work slackers.

 

[Da Peach]

I fear the Halloween costume I'm building for my 3 year old is going to be too heavy for him to move around in...

It's gonna be pretty neat though.

 

[boostindoubles]

Goal for today is trap and remove skunk from crawl space.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Aren't you on vacation?

WTF?

Howdy all. Wife had burning eyes from contacts/contact solution so I drove Mariko to school

Tell her to rub some dirt in it...

 

[Toshi]

Have I mentioned my wife has a very low pain tolerance? She and Mariko are truly different sizes of the same beast.

Hopefully your other kid is a bit tougher or survival of the fittest might leave you a bachelor.

this is the perfect approach. reduce their mobility so they remain firmly under your thumb. I wonder if a jail cell costume would work with my 5 year old?!?!

Time to get drunk!

Still here. Late evening tonight because they have changed how our investment system works and we need to learn about it. Uber both ways today.

Went to have lunch and my salad (bagged pre-made from Safeway) was partially rotted. Went to the cafeteria to get food there and they didn't have any chicken breasts left. So I ended up getting a burger and broccoli. Given I don't eat much sugar (<50g/day) I was hoping to actually fill up on the broccolli and put the patty on top. Not with my luck. It was so 'steamed' that it looked like they took it our of the cream of broccolli soup. My lunch consisted of a hamburger patty. Guess it's a good thing that the boss is bringing in dinner at 5.

All of the parts that I should* need have been ordered but won't be here until Monday. That's going to make Wifey happy... But she's out of town Sunday-Thursday, so I get that let up. Hopefully we're rolling when she gets back.

In all of my research to my engine and bumper problems I have come across a few interesting things for the car. That are on my 'want' list. Apparently there is a Euro dash which is 2" higher on the bottom and gives a lot more legroom. The car doesn't really have cup holders, but I found an aftermarket one that you can slide into the coin tray in the center console. There is an OEM fit smart head unit that mates to your phone via Bluetooth, so you basically get your phone while being able to tuck it out of the way. It stores almost 1Gb, so you can have audio/video on file for when you don't have signal. Also thinking about changing my roof rack from the OEM spec Thule to an aerobar system. The square bars are loud and have limited space, plus my trays aren't long enough for a non-road bike. All on the list of wants, but they are going to be a while until I can pull them off with Wifey.

The short-sale we were looking at a few months ago fell out of contract, so our broker is going to talk w/ the selling broker to see what happened. If he can get it down to $420-440k, we might actually put in for it. It will take some work, as it's an immediate tear out of flooring (3500sq ft), some repairs to the back deck/patio, boxing off a few open spaces to have doors, and then painting. Probably $30k of work almost immediately, but that would make a huge improvement into the livability. It also has a tandem, 3-car garage with a double height tandem. I would be able to comfortably fit a 4-point lift in there and Wifey agrees that with that kind of space it might make sense. Who knows? There are a lot of if's in this scenario.

Sounds like a sweet pad if you get to update the floors! Carpet (or whatever material) and paint go a long way!

 

[johnbryanpeters]

what are you growing in this greenhouse? (serious question, but bongshed comments are welcome too)

Lettuce and other veggies; some experimentation will be involved - I don't know how it will perform thermally. I have a data logger watching temperature and relative humidity, so I guess we'll see.

 

[Toshi]

Still here.

Do you normally get off of work before 2:30 PM?

 

[SkaredShtles]

<snip> (3500sq ft), .

Too big! Don't do it, man... don't do it!

It will be a lot of work to get it to where we would like it. The house smells like animal piss amongst other things. Wifey would want to update the kitchen and bathrooms, so that's a longer-term to do. House

That is a big pad! Lots of rooms... do you have enough children to fill them? Or just a lot of smashing in your future?

 

[stoney]

Too big! Don't do it, man... don't do it!

Sorry, 3100 above ground with an unfinished basement.

It's way more than I think we would need, honestly our house is plenty big, but happy wife...

That's why I say it's way too much. But she likes the whole gransiose bull isht.

It's the carpet. They had two old dogs and well... accidents. We'd just end up ripping out the flooring, painting a layer of Killz, then putting in hardwood and stone tile (kitchen).

 

[stoney]

I'll just leave this here.

Volvo is getting back into WTC! And... there went my shorts. I would LOVE to have a Polestar S60. It would be glorious.

Been there, done that, in the 1970s. Heated bed, reflectors, blah blah blah. No need to repeat.

Looks fancy and stuff but seriously? A tile countertop in the kitchen and laminate in the bathroom? Talk about mailing it in on that one. Otherwise it looks like a pretty nice setup.
