Looks like my sleeping streak is over.
I don't think it's coincidence that I sleep worse on nights before I have to work.Don't give up your seat!
If you get bumped fight back with your fists.
Have a fun trip jbp.
I got nothing.

Pirelli still a good car tire??
Off to Baltimore for 4 day meeting. Would rather be in the woods... I don't even like crab cakes that much. Hopefully free booze don't lead to stupid wandering because:
Planning my ride today is proving difficult; heavy to violent thunderstorms predicted throughout the day... rolling the dice for 11 to 2PM. Wish me luck. 
Scooter acting funny on the way in. Brief trouble shooting as I rolled into the parking lot leads me to believe gremlins are present. Chasing wires I guess. 
Want to swing down my way afterwards for Wifey's bike?
Taking kiddo to Point Defiance Zoo.... spending time with kiddo is great. At the zoo... not so much.
That feeling when you go buy breakfast and come home with $5 worth of croissants and $50 of beer. 
We got 2" of rain in the past 24 hours, I don't think I'll be riding today. I reshuffled tires on my trail machine, Magic Mary goes to storage until winter, TRS+ goes to the front and rear wheels now have a GRID Slaughter and an EXO Aggressor. That should get me through the next couple of months (if the weather allows for any riding at all
).

wow I slept in until 7;30 unreal. Coffee, eats, ride dirt then off to get the eyes checked, new prescription and then order new prescription riding glasses so I can see shit clearly on the trail again
Rode down and up hills with coworker. At one point after saying we're going back up he replied with "oh for fuck sakes Christopher". 
Great conditions even after two days of rain.
Sitting in the hatch of my car now, enjoying an IPA and chicken/bacon wrap. About to head out solo for MOAR.

Rain. :/
What asshole did that?///Motorcycle.
Just picked up my new rear triangle and bearing kit for the Yeti - $450. At least it had a derailluer hanger on it...
Trails have been riden, attempted the most difficult legs which require a significant amount of leg strength to,power over. Did not fail too badly, avoided falling off "dangerous cliffs" but had to push up the last bit to get back to the XC trail. Was schooled handily by a 65 year old on a Trance. His beard rivals JBP's mustache. 
Saturday. The weekend's Monday.
Pretty sure BMW Motorrad. Second time I've pulled that harness out only to discover right next to a clean break in one wire, the adjoining wire has clear cuts in the insulation in the exact same place. When I first pulled that apart green wire was broken, red wire was hanging out by nought by 3 or 4 strands.
Alternatively, on my schedule, the weekends Monday is my actual Monday, except for when it's Monday, which is Thursday.
'Morning. 66 miles on the tri bike. 18.1 mph. Holy shit the wind. I'm not sure I've had a windier ride. I had to really concentrate to maintain control of my bike. A physically and mentally tiring ride, but I rode well.

Well, was 30 miles of it with a tailwind, at least?
In motel in Albuquerque, had to drag bike boxes up stairs to second floor. V's was leaking parts - headcap and bolt, pedal, a couple of small unidentified pieces, chain hanging out side of case. The case top had gotten somehow twisted in transit. My bike's together, and after getting V's permission, opened her case; I think she lucked out and everything's OK. She's still incoming from Houston, have to head off to pick her up in fifteen minutes or so.
82 F here.

You gonna ride on the east side of town? I've done one good ride there...don't remember what.
Maybe, we have to get our shit together, find some food and plan
Here in AngryLand today is Friday, since the studio is open on Saturday. So tomorrow is Saturday and Monday is now my Sunday but not when wedding bands are dude. Monday is actually Sunday then I may have to work on my day off. So not sure if I get a Sunday or not this week.
I worked yesterday like a normal human but won't again until Thursday. Two vacation days for the interview and associated travel and one sick day upon which I will go to the dentist for 30 min and ride Mountain Lion, again, as I did today with the 6thElement clan.
Almost lost control of bladder in FedEx shipping line.
Usurped by traitorous organs once seated in traffic.
Neurgenic condition from spinal cord trauma + recovering from bladder infection = should've stayed home.

I found a hole in the clouds and rode in le slop. New tire setup is mucho moar bueno. TRS+ in the front is da bomb.
It was sunny while I was stuck inside. When I closed up the sun was gone and so was my motivation to dig. So I finished up the annual service on my Pike.
I opted to not rebuild the charger damper and just bleed it instead. Rebuilt the air spring and what a fucking pain it was to get the retaining clip out. Changed seals and fluids in lowers and put all back together. Feels a whole lot better.

Torrential rain has arrived coming down as bad as I have ever seen it. Our parking lot has flooded and water is flooding the basement, that hasn't happened before. Looks like I will be up late vacuuming up the slop.
