Fuckin (paid subscription) Weather app said a calm, mild and dry day in and around Edinburgh. Perfect! Except the reality was a commute with just enough drizzle to need a waterproof and an annoyingly sweat inducing strong head wind all the way in... only cut up 3 times by bell ends squeezing by at pinch points only for me to filter past them again while queuing at the next red light, then nearly sideswiped in the last 5 minutes by a yummy mummy looking for a parking space for her massive shiny no fucking indicators SUV and paying attention to fuck all else around her than ME ME ME ME!.
After a very long time away from it I fired up Gran Turismo 7 on the PS5 last night. Was rusty AF and using controller on an unfamiliar twisty alpine track so might as well have had a "little darlings on board" sign in the back window but there seems to be tons of updates and new stuff since I last played so I might dust off the steering wheel set-up this evening.

Rained for quite a while last night. Monsoon season appears to be upon us. I'm going to ride my bike to work again!
might actually be too wet to ride but I’m gonna find out anyway
Bike ride yesterday was primo. They've got a killer set of trails here.
Today is a wash due to rain. 2-3" in the forecast ans I can already see the lake level rose overnight.
I am so good at finding reasons to skip a bike ride [smoke, work, afternoon rain, dog sitting]
I have to remember that this isn't the life G̶o̶d̶ Godzilla wants for me, and through dirt there is eternal salvation:

WFH day with plenty to do, but here I am wasting time talking to you people. It's raining but I went outside and ran 7 miles anyway, since the rain is only going to get harder. The weekend looks beautiful.
Went for a ride yesterday after work and the t-storm found us 30 minutes before forecast. It absolutely unleashed on us, inches of water on the roads as we fled the trails, thunder so loud it made you jump and just lightning flashes all around. I was grinning like an idiot in the sprint home in it, not sure about the wife

Hello all.
Have the time and energy for a nice ride today, but not the weather. I may do an indoor ride or go for a run or I dunno. I took two weeks to myself before starting my new job and I’m so damned busy with chauffering the kids around that it’s surprisingly busy.

Replace bicycle with backpack and you’re in my world. Only not much grinning while smashing toes on wet rocks.Went for a ride yesterday after work and the t-storm found us 30 minutes before forecast.

Working in the city today.
Good thing I didn't pack my bike up for a ride tonight, as its dark and dumping rain.
Interesting drive in this morning. I was in the right lane and saw a white Corolla up ahead of me in the very left lane hit a puddle. This person jammed on their brakes and friggin' stopped in the left live lane. I looked in my rear view mirror and could see people having to swerve abound the car onto the shoulder and whatnot. Scary, that's how people die...
Anyways, coffee in hand. There is a revolution brewing here.
huck to flat?
Another nothing day for me, solid headache from lunch onwards.
New freehub bits finally arrived, it looks like jewellery.

Thought I was gonna have to make a delivery to PDX today, but my saint of a wife is doing it instead. I hate PDX traffic and Friday is the worst.
Think I’ll ride my bike, mill up a couple of boards and maybe even do a little work for the day job…

captains log, stardate 8924.
I can't figure out if I am getting more impatient and intolerant or if the general population is getting dumber and more entitled. I will conduct some experiments to determine the plausibility of both scenarios.
until next time, never put your phasers on stun

I can't confirm the first, but the latter is 100% true.
200% true? ALL THE TRUE.
dammit jim
It's *definitely* the former. The general population has been alarmingly dumb and entitled but is at least *consistently* dumb and entitiled over the years.
Nonsense. You just weren't paying much attention when you were younger. Or, which is possible, you were dumb and entitled yourself and have become self-aware.
I have been given access to the test network at the University of Stuttgart. I also get to attend a meeting at 1 am, yay.
Ok boomerIt's *definitely* the former. The general population has been alarmingly dumb and entitled but is at least *consistently* dumb and entitiled over the years.

Was it wet or more on the moist side?
definitely moist, perhaps approaching soggy.
