Morning, can't sleep. Made some chamomile tea and now watching kojak.
Think I will get ready to make a nice sausage scramble for the family today.

'Morning. 9.5 solid hours of sleep last night. Then I got up all ready to make eggs only to find there were no eggs in the fridge. 
So, it's an English muffin with peanut butter. Getting ready to head out for a 60 mile ride with the wife.

Yawn...
Out with the wife last night. Went to new Italian place downtown that was really good. Then we met some friends at a new distillery in town that was pretty bad. Some off flavors for sure, only had a couple drinks and I still have a raging headache this morning, will not be going back.
First day back to work after vacation. FTS already.
Those are 19" JDM STI Enkei's. Definitely not cheap. His lack of a larger scoop makes me doubt it's an STI swap though. You need the extra airflow for the IC. Although possibly a FMIC hiding in there.Oil change and then riding today. Woot.
@stoney this is sitting outside. Something is hiding under there, note the STi Brembos....and rust free
Lots of crap to get done this morning before I can go play. Tirs shop for a rotate and balance then off to get a work required TB test some 30 miles from here ( free vs me paying). Then I get to go ride
In the meantime I am making some really strong coffee to kickstart the morning

Snow is the name of the game today. Given that perhaps it's not the best day to switch the winter tires off of the RAV4 EV, but today is when that's happening because of my schedule and the snow will be off the roads by the afternoon?
The redneck tires for the Land Cruiser (33" BFG AT KO2) will be installed next week.
Edit: almost forgot that we are headed to the Colorado Stmphony Orchestra tonight. We are going to take the new commuter rail into Union Station and then the 16th St shuttle to Champa. I like trains.

Good morning Monkies! AM is much more reasonable for a Saturday. Checked the weather, made sure no one was on my lawn and am about to consume 8 shots of espresso. Coffee machine flashed a message "Empty Grounds Container". Screw that, it's Saturday bitches.
My Park ADT-1 torque driver arrived yesterday so today I am going to torque every bolt I'very touched over the last year.
Most likely a short trail ride this afternoon so that I save my legs for a more aggressive Sunday ride. I was hoping my new bike would magically be delivered late Friday afternoon since it arrived in Great Falls on Friday but no luck, Monday morning at the earliest.

No symphony for me unless I have a burrito for lunch and dinner.Edit: almost forgot that we are headed to the Colorado Stmphony Orchestra tonight. We are going to take the new commuter rail into Union Station and then the 16th St shuttle to Champa. I like trains.
Breakfast was good, coffe is making me poo.
Today will consist of ordering brake parts for the Dakota, and trying to get the boy in for a haircut.
I switch back to working weekends tomorrow, so work sun and Mon then three days off. We got the number for a local sitter that charges 26 bucks for seven hours. Probably call her up today and see if she will work out for Monday's or not. If so then it means I get to sleep once again between shifts more than two hours.

Looking like its gonna be the Silverado. Have to deinstall 3 amps, head unit, subwoofer,,speakers, and full 0 gague wiring, I am now regretting my foray into competition level (audiophile, not DB's) high end car audio.
Don't think I'm gonna do it for the new whip.
Well, maybe just a subwoofer....( and that is how it begins!)

Trails were ridden on a glorious sunny 60* day with hero dirt on tap.
Extra efforts made to narrow widened trail sections with deadfall and rocks.
Manicured corners were treated to the wrath my michelins, with particularly smoothed sections getting multiple passes and a dollop of freeride flicks to tear shit up.
I will return these trails to their naturally blown out condition if it kills me.

What year and drivetrain?
Wait another new bike? Didn't you just get a GT?
13', LTZ package. All the bells and whistles, including seat coolers!
Maybe I should ask for auto inflating tires...

Yes, a 2014 Giant XTC to replace my... 2004 Giant XTC. There are amazing deals out there for slow moving mid range bikes taking up space in bike shops.

Decided to grease up the road bike today, my Serotta has been with me for a very long time and has been rebuilt 2 times - once in 1995 Dura Ace 9SP and again in 2004 with full a Campy Chorus kit. The frame had to be sent to the factory to increase the spacing since the bike was originally kitted with Ultegra 8SP. Even after 28 years this bike still rocks. As shown it weighs 22 LBS, with fenders removed, saddle, post, wheels and tires swapped out to the race bits it will come in at just under 18. I used this bike on several Ski to Sea races and routinely clocked the high 50s on the descent without any shimmy or need to brake. I'll probably die with this bike still on hand.

You'd really rather drop $33k on a used newish truck than $3k on a rebuilt engine?
Ye
Everything else is about to go wrong with the 150, and no one locally would touch the job for under 7k. I'm over that truck, especially after the $4k tranny rebuild.
Yes.

Does anyone know if a tranny rebuild shows up on car fax? How about hitting a deer?
I thought the Enduro thing to do was carry a phone in a specially shaped pocket in your bright green or blue shorts. You know, so you can Strava!
I'm just kidding
The only thing that shows up on Car Fax is what gets voluntarily reported, no service is required to report to any agency or business except a salvage title.
Hunh. The car fax site shows that I have 45 service notes (or whatever you call them), but I can't see it without paying $40.00.
That sounds like a lot...

I rode bike today, three hours of hero dirt, rocks and roots.
I also planted a bunch of veggies in a raised garden bed and mowed the lawn for the first time this year. The easy weekends are gone.

Holy shit. Epic day was epic.
Road with a dude from our Wednesday night ride and one of his friends. We ended up doing three rides today in three different trail systems, cooked lunch trail side and then cooked dinner trail side. We totaled 40km of pure single track.
I am done. Absolutely cooked. My ass hurts. I think I ate about 4 bananas, two apples and who knows how many sausages. I have yet to poop...
