Just saw the surgeon and todays xray looked really good. I can start riding my road bike, lift shit, gardening etc. Still holding off on the mountain biking side of things but this is a big step as it really showed the operation was successful especially the pelvis bone had served its purpose. So very happy man today!

 

[Changleen]

Just incredible riding. Inspiring and crazy.

Been working too much for what they pay me, Politely brought it up with the CEO by text. A few minutes later he is on the phone with a pay raise and a workload cut back. Win

Espresso then off to work I go

 

[FSM]

Not sure what I had to do with any of this, for the record.

You didn't, it was the acid.

 

[Pesqueeb]

Wait. Are we getting acid today? That should make the work day a lot more interesting.

 

[stoney]

Here. Busy day. Wifey will be busy, as she's leaving for Palm Springs tomorrow am, so girls are largely my responsibility today.
Despite me not being responsible, since I was largely telling my neighbor that she needed to do *something*, notably call an arborist, I'm still anxious about her tree. The guys who did the work were just randoms who were getting paid cash to pick up broken tree limbs. I had to tell them to make their first cut away from the trunk to take the branch down, then come back and remove the rest of the arm. I haven't checked it, but I have a creeping feeling that they cut that arm too close to the trunk too. Which can be dangerous to a tree's health.

Hey. Last night was one of my worst nights ever on this planet thanks to what I suspect was food poisoning. I was awake the entire night, projectile vomiting every 20-30 minutes. I don't know how my body kept finding more stuff to discharge, but it was frequent, painful, and awful. Of course I had the severe shits to go with it, along with a blazing headache and awful thirst. At least my stomach is no longer in pain, so hopefully I can get some sleep today and start hydrating. I am taking a sick day from work for the first time in probably 20 years. God dammit, I feel destroyed.

sorry babs, I hope you feel better soon. food poisoning is the worst...you can't even keep water down. At least maybe it's over? And you probably lost 10lb in the process!

 

[Sandwich]

here, had a great weekend with the kids. Soccer on saturday, yard play, pool playdate, splashpad on sunday, ride on the tri bike in 95 degree heat...it was lit. couldn't get myself out of bed this morning though so no workout.

I can't find fucking road tires to save my life, either. might just milk the shitty hutchinsons for another half a year until I can find the right tire somewhere. supply chain issues are teh suxx0rs.

 

[CBJ]

Well now I can work with my arm again I have a whole bunch of work lined up around the house. First line of business is to start organizing my workshop again and fix two flat bikes.

Am I the only one still patching tubes?

I think its a waste not to do it. The tubes I do discard I use to tie up plants in the garden.

 

[StiHacka]

 

[JohnE]

Is it fucking Monday already? Sigh...

 

[JohnE]

That shit is incredible. To maintain that level of intensity over terrain like that for that long is simply mind blowing.

 

[jonKranked]

present. coffee. lonely drive by myself to work this morning, as my daughter's preschool has ended. miss her silliness.

sore from DH yesterday, but not too sore. heat wave is over. much more seasonal, sunny and mid 70's today. at least i got to drive to work with the windows down.

One of the things I hate about Mondays it that I actually have to go into the office and do some paperwork. Today was an exception. Found a packet on my desk. EMS Week gift from the company. nice stuff

Knife also has a seat belt cutter and a window glass breaker. good trauma shears too.

 

[canadmos]

Holiday today here. Weather looks nice.

Boss called this morning, I guess I better check my email.

Maybe bike later?

 

[Poops McDougal]

I'm crashing the GMT.

Worked from home for most of last week, so this is my first day back in the office in awhile. Slept poorly in anticipation of having to be back here.... not enough coffee. We switched email servers on Friday, and somebody screwed up; I have no email this morning.

Does your door access card still work?

 

[Toshi]

Hello all. Reading ultrasounds today. Starting day from home as there's basement work to oversee, then e-biking in to the hospital for the remainder of the day.

 

[Poops McDougal]

That would honestly be equal parts blessing and disaster....

 

[Montana rider]

Just incredible riding. Inspiring and crazy.

Ditto for this clip re: scenery....

The Island of Senja Is a Mountain Biker’s Dream

Do we wish we were there, too? Heck yes.

I am adulting very poorly re: work/bike balance for far too long (4yrs?), and thanks FSM that there's pron like this to get the juices flowing.

I should probably accidentally a soon / variety being the slice of life...

my current yeti just had it's 9th birthday but I have a deathly aversion to retail and too frugal to buy new in this inflated market.

Some of the bike hoars (SIC) on this site have had double digit + steed numbers in those same nine years...

Oh well supposed to get to 70 in Idahoozle this week and I may float the lazy river for first time this year

 

[Adventurous]

Crew is at the house doing the windows right now. Thank Jeebus. They're also replacing all the questionable trim with PVC so I hopefully never have to worry about it again. We might actually be able to move in soon, once I finish tiling the shower.

Just incredible riding. Inspiring and crazy.

What he does and what I do are considered the same sport, but they in no way resemble one another. My God was that POV awesome.

@Adventurous to the knife phone

I too carry a knife and trauma shears in my vehicle, but I am decidedly not an EMT or qualified medical professional. I did get my first aid merit badge though, so I know enough to be dangerous (mostly to myself).

Hi!

Working, expense report from TX done, looking forward to hero dirt this week.

 

[mandown]

So, we're doing this again? We're really doing it?

 

[boostindoubles]

I sorted my Louis L'Amour collection last night... after I took one of each for my collection I have a mountain of western paperback LL novels left over. What the fuck was I thinking 15 years ago.

I found a couple of old playing cards in these books also.

Also... what the hell should I do with my BMX and MTB magazine collections from 20+ years ago?

Snorkel, rack and spare are done, opted for the tie down mount for flexibility. Comms and wiring of lights next

Looks like there’s still room for a hot tub.

Looks like there’s still room for a hot tub.

but since it's a Jeep there's no payload capacity for one. His model probably has about 1,200 lb payload iirc.
