- Thread starter CBJ
- Start date
gonna be a long day. in the ambulance. Aside from the normal crap I have to bring my laptop and squeeze in another hour plus and exam of continuing ED that has to be done today. THen I get to drive 2 hours to Sacramento at rush hour to work at a horse show. I guess much coffee will be consumed today.
Sorting gear and packing before going to the studio. Meeting Honey Badger Sunday for a few days of hiking. The stoke is high.
Hey mods, can we get a custom title over here ? Might I suggest: Wood Fluffer @I Are Baboon @Sandwich @johnbryanpeters
I was weak and drove a car to work. First time since Aug 6. In retrospect I probably could have rode, but I thought the roads/trails would be much more frozen than they are and todays winter storm warning is pretty grim. Lame.......
Time for some studded tyres for your winter commuting.
It has occurred to me.
rode last night. on what used to be my favourite trail. it was natural and eroded and had some really tricky sections. it has a few pretty nice lookouts, so it's really popular with hikers. and since it's not officially a bike trail, we usually only ride it at night, in the off-season. in the last couple of years the erosion got pretty bad, and the trail braiding was off the charts. in their bid to "fix" the trail over the past few, the land managers have widened it and added crushed stone to the swamy bits. This year, they have completely re-routed the steep bits. No more slabs, no more trials-ing through creek beds, no more nothing.
I've been riding this trail since high-school, 30 years now, in the days of rigid bikes and cantilever brakes. it was always the epitome of riding for me, I don't think I've ever put in a full clean lap that included both the climbs and descents. it was an ever-changing puzzle that would offer up new challenges. but always fun, with lots of secret side hits if you knew where to look and bothered paying attention. I'm pretty bummed it's gone. it's definitely the end of an era.
R.I.P Wolf trail. I'll pour one out for you.

heading out this morning to preview an equipment auction to see if it’s worth bidding tomorrow. Also ordered another lens…..ooops, did I do that?
in other news,
jeep ring and pinion is MIA and nobody returns my calls, avoid Yukon gear and axle at all costs.

Same thing has happened to my OG trails here. Been a slower speed technical spot since the late 80s. I started here in ‘91. Now they are building a bunch of dirt sidewalks with berms. No more rocks and roots. Even my local hiking hill has been sanitized with similar 8 foot wide featureless “trails”.
Hey, lay off my guilty pleasure fatty, I don't shame you when you are shoving little Debbies in your pie hole.
yo yo yo
Its Friday and working from home. That's all I have.
Gloomy day out there. I didn't ride last night, because the freeway to get to the trails was absolutely SHIT FUCKED.
Was going to try again tonight, but maybe I'll save the gas money and energy for tomorrow.
FOR REALpeople, I tell ya. FTS is high.
This new manager that side stepped into a new role and is trying to assert there way onto everything is......
And I have a 1:1 meeting with them today.
Another 1:1 meeting with my "lead" later today.
And then another 1:1 meeting again with the manager on Tuesday.
AND dude has come out of left field and started emailing shit at 11pm. LOL
best part is that this is a 3 person department. There is me, the team lead and then the manager. LOL FUCK ME
Can we not cunt up the GMT with politics? There’s an entire subforum for that discussion. Thanks.
For certain values of "stuck."my post was non-political
Shared Skittles is totally going to get stuck on the other side of the tunnel this afternoon
Morning Monkeys.
FTS Friday is in full swing. The weather is nice and is the last nice day for like 3 months, so working seems stupid.

I like pie, but I will never be fast enough to win one.
thankfully they are available to purchase
Don’t worry, it’s not like I’m crusty about it or anything.
Last day on the job today, new adventure starts Tuesday.
Also, fingers crossed for warranty on the freebub that popped on my fatbike.
Fatbike Pints and Pedals ride is a few weeks away... might have to lace a wheel in a hurry
TGIF,

Continuing Education hours (8) completed and exams passed. Done with that shit for another 3 years. Two very large folks left to transport and I'm out of here
I don't know, but I enjoy posting on here, don't care if anyone reads anything I write.
I enjoy talking to people in person more than writing, because in real life at least I can blame hearsay.
Going to the science museum to watch an omni theater movie with the child then stop by the wife's work to say hi.
