More mild weather or as I call it taste of global warming. Working from home today. No big plans for the weekend.
ñññññññ Finally Friday GTM ∑∑∑∑∑∑∑
- Thread starter CBJ
- Start date
Bruise on my upper right leg turns out to be pretty big. Pretty sure it is from my leg hitting my shifter as I flipped over the bike. Now I got it in the workshop the thumb shift lever on my XT shifter is bent up so it slightly contacts the forefinger trigger on a bigger push (also showing I pretty much only single or double shift all the time when I ride, as I didn’t notice this the rest of the day).
Also the bruise is like a large spread out shifter shape. That was the main clue.
It’s still red and blue and swollen atm, I am expecting some good purple tomorrow. Will drop some ibruprofen before bed.
Finger feels pretty good actually, the bar took the brunt of course, my hand would be mush if it took the main impact as it basically started the bike flip. The plastic bit on the end of my Ergons is totally shattered, but hey at least both grip ends match now.

excellent Wingdings the last few days.Down to the last 83 acres of corn to harvest. Have a couple buddies lined up to drive truck in Saturday, hopefully get it knocked out.
Went to the Doctor, went to work, built my bike up and had some issues, it felt like the early 2000s, hahaha!
Ab Black guide doesn't work so I had to steal the One Up from my hardtail frame and I'm gonna have to go a 36t ring up front because stupid me asked to have the pivot point raised over stock but the huge stay makes that a bad idea, oops.
2500iso, bring the noise!
EDIT- Headset press worked a treat as always-

20 run day on tap. Doing the EMT gig this weekend but it's local so no Friday night commute jam in the RV will occur. Fed my sourdough starter last night so I will do some bread making on Monday after the horse show this weekend
Had my espresso so its off to pick up and drop of 6 dialysis clients in the next 90 minutes before my breakfast break.

turner....?
Can anyone remind me why I filled my morning schedule with calls? Off to the kart shop to get tire changing tools this afternoon, then a haircut and dinner with the family.
I did discover a tire type that costs less than 40% of new tires. I guess at national races, tires will be used for one, maybe two, practices and disposed of. Company then takes them, matching closest condition, and makes them into a set. Works really good for training and practice tires locally. So, getting some of those, as I need to change Haley's tires soon.

Death ice, death ice everywhere.
The 5ish inches of snow from yesterday mostly melted and has now frozen. The flawed design of our house means if you don't clear off the ///deck the melt runoff goes down onto the driveway and turns into a sheet of ice.

That's how inside my cranial cavity feels this morning, too. Gotta write a testimonial for a colleague who's a bit of a whining biatch and who actively hates me.
I am here. Dad's night out was a success so no riding in today. Beautiful day and the roads are pretty empty, which is always nice. Saw an E60 M5 on the way in so I had to chase it down. #dreamcar
sorry to babs on the passing of his doggo

Also, I think the last small part I need is on the white truck for delivery today so I can put the majority of my bike together. Need the handlebars to finish the wrap and everything, but can at least get the drivetrain settled.

'Morning. I've got my usual three workouts on Friday to get done. Swam 2700 yards before work, I'll run at lunch, and spin the kickr this evening. Got 100 miles to ride tomorrow morning and it's going to be 32 degrees at the start. Oof.
pickled jalapenos on my eggs. side of meatloaf.
WFH whilst sipping on the bean juice this morning. More parts and a few tools coming today, so planning some assembly tomorrow.
What about the other?
Fuck this. Fuck that.
I had a sleep study a few years ago as I, too, have teh fat
FRIDAY WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Anyone here ever been sent for a sleep study? I am waiting for a call to schedule one - I know that I get terrible sleeps and snore. Maybe that can be diagnosed and I can increase my quality of life?
was kind of weird to sleep all adorned with wires. I ended up with 5.2 apneic events per hour—threshold is 5, I believe. So I have a CPAP machine that I never use because it’s awkward. : shrugs:
/me is going to donate blood in a bit then pop up to the mountain house to meet the designer for the planned interior renovation
Chicagaho?flying home.
What now? I'm going to go see about trading in the family hauler before it breaks down on me. Theres a list of issues I've been keeping track of and now that winter is approaching its time to adios this sucker.
The trick is finding someone to buy the canopy at the drop of a hat. I think I've got someone lined up for tomorrow. I told them I need 700 which is 200 more than I paid. Fingers crossed it goes through, otherwise it goes into storage until I can sell it and thats a pain.

No I was on the beast coast for a day, soon to be sitting in a chair in the sky.
Q: Is it too early for a beer?
A1. No
A2. No, but in red.
The water pressure at my house sucks, have a booster pump arriving today. I predict a lot of swearing when I can't ultimately find all the right fittings and have to cobble some bullshit together.
I tried embedding that GIF but it was too large, so I said fuck this fuck that and gave up.

How old is the piping? Imma bet you have a "restriction"
Plumbing is all modern, house is small so runs are short, pipes are sized appropriately. Static pressure is low and only drops a few psi when something is flowing. Pretty sure it is just the price to pay for being at the top of a hill.
Is there a pressure reducing valve (PRV)? My place had terrible pressure and a noticeable PSI drop from the street to the house. Idiot builders direct buried the valve (i.e. no valve box). The valve had failed, which resulted in a huge drop in pressure. However, if you don't know it's there, you don't know you need to replace it (see no valve box portion of post).
Were you in NYC and didn't give me a call to meet up for a beer?
Dang. Can you get street pressure and pressure as it comes in, along with tank pressure? Is your water usage high? Pressure drops can be restrictions or leaks, or both! Sounds like its time to fuck around and find out!
