Mornin!
Achievement unlocked: Did a roll yesterday where the hit at the bottom was so hard, a booger fell out of my nose.
Otherwise, was fun yet mildly terrifying surfing leaves over and through the chunk. I disapprove of it getting dark so early however. Not cool.

I really like leaves over rocks. It really emphasizes relaxation, weight distribution, and balance in riding.
Hello and Happy Friday whut whut!! I rolled my lazy bones out of bed at 5:00 for a 2700 yard swim, which gives me 10,000 yards for the week (5.7 miles). I've got work meetings all frikkin day. Wife and I are headed up to northern VT for the weekend to visit a couple of friends, then it's staycation week.
6 am and I am 25% through my scheduled runs for the day. Going to spend the afternoon loading up the camper. I am so looking forward to spending Saturday and Sunday on the Carson River on the east side of the Sierras with my flyrod
OMFG 67 people on this one hour MicroSoft Teams meeting and we're fucking doing INTRODUCTIONS. JHFC
Mornin’, gents.
Gonna do some more suspension ‘testing’ on our rockiest trail today.
should be fun and informative.

LOL HI have fun with Teams and enjoying its shitty chat interface and multitude of options for sharing AND forgetting about stuff!
I do not miss conference calls at all. They are like having to listen to a Trump speech. fucking mind numbing.
I love when the trail gets leafy. It forces you to ignore the little things and focus on the trail itself.
Plus it's purdy....
Using this indoors day in order to project final expenses from having had two Estate process w/ the County Court System, in order to use Estate Deduction to true benefit. Since this is the end of Court Orders, Attorneys, and billed time - closer the bottom line is the better, even if Calendar Year Taxes Deadline is normalized this season. Love both parents tremendously - if this part of normal life was going to give me grey hair I get the last laugh - it's facial hair.
Turns out the introductions were the entire point of the meeting, so now I'm a fucking asshole.
Older boy is really pressing my buttons these days. I don't know if I've ever met a grumpier person. It was brutal this morning. We're starting to wonder whether he's suffering from anxiety or something... whatever it is, I'm struggling to cope. hay-zeus, I never thought parenting would be this hard.
slept the fuck in. feeling lazy. will attempt to simultaneously coffee, work, and watch dh. ride later. and yes, leaf surfing season is the best season. hoping to get up to the mtns next weekend for prime surfing action.
Stopped raining, sun is out and it's looking very purdy.
Elbow is still pretty whack, but I'm starting to think about a very easy trail ride, something with minimal turns, which is hard to do around here in the land of stacked loops. The ones I'm thinking of are now closed for the fall hunt...

36.5 miles. 4700 freedum verts. Holy balls was it cold yesterday. Thank teh @FSM I took and extra sweater and gloves with me. 4+ hours of dirt road climbing and I never did warm up. Got snowed on a couple times. Sun finally came out just in time for the DH, so that was nice. I am tired and sore. Another espresso and a nap are the only things I'm doing today. High country riding is probably about done for the year. Froze hard at the house last night. Veg is done.
Ever just wake up in a pissy mood?
Sorry monkeys, you are not going to be able to experience the normally joyful and cheery westy today.

This makes me sad...
Just found out my new job has health insurance, dental, vision, 401k, etc, even though I am a 1099.

someone teach @6thElement how to wingding.
rough day. woke up early, puked. something i ate must not have agreed with me. back in bed. was awoken around 830 to wife screaming fire. the air fryer was on the glass stovetop while i let the basket soak overnight, she moved it out of the way to cook breakfast, and apparently inadvertently turned on the burner that she moved it on top of. RIP air fryer. back in bed for remainder of morning. got up just before lunch time for some gatorade and an english muffin with peanut butter.

Front tooth crown dentist visit, part 1. 
Planning out new bike build.....been far too long building a bike up from scratch. Tis going to be fun.
What are you building?
Omfg, really? New trail bike or you doing that park bike you talked about?
Or best of both worlds with a Turner Highline?
Leaning towards a YT Capra, 180mm travel F&R via a Ohlins TTX coil in the rear and RXF 36m.2 air up front. Got a line on a great looking frame for $1,000 and a NIB shock that happens to have the right e2e and stroke and coil rate for $500.
The rest will be all new and built up slowly over the winter/spring.
This will be a long-travel enduro/park bike to supplement the 5.spot, so I can continue to ride the bigger/rougher stuff without fear of grenading my frame/fork, as I'm known to do. But of course, that's not a guarantee I don't anyway.

I would say, somewhat. It has improved, but it's still not what I would call regular. I slept absolutely horribly last night after 3 really good nights for example.
Rented a cool A frame at the base of Mt. Hood for our anniversary weekend. I could see having this full time.
fun ride with some new peeps messing around with unofficial lines on the back side of the local hill
I “rode” and froze
Ate some steak
Ate some more steak
Tended to baby
Edited a long in the works paper a bit and made it an abstract
Got to inbox zero
Awaiting food trucks
it is an acceptable day, this
I was looking at the weather. If I ride Sunday morning it's definitely gonna be a pants and wool socks kind of ride.
