going into the office to have a "Corrective Action" chat with an employee. He either changes his behavior or looks for a new job. No other options are available in this case.
going to try to get out for a ride afterwards.

that is a nice drive....
If I can get on the bike I will ride, I just got to get on.Just pulled up to the trailhead and it started to snow. With that and also having a headache, I kind of want to just abort and go nap.
But I shall press on and at least do a short loop.
Layla required that I let her out this morning, but Wifey had already let her out and left the doggy door open. So now I'm awake but tired.
Going to get my snow tires swapped off today. While it's snowing. Wtf spring?
Haley's very mad that my F1 fantasy team is destroying hers, especially because mine has Stroll as one of the drivers and the HAAS team.

So Friday ended with a meeting at 16.30 when the CEO ended my meeting after 3 minutes (literally started packing) because I uttered the word "Data" and have shown basic data (publicly available market share data for our brands by months) and it's the "data team" that should present data not the content team (in an 8 page presentation we should have 3 presenters...).
The project for those meetings has no lead. He didn't really tell us what he needs outside of the fact I'm somehow bad for doing data teams job (I used the data they provided me, just used the one relevant to my plans...) when they have said they have no time. No specifics.
I am working for a shitty shitty place. I need a new job. This was the most absurd event in my 15 year career.

I hope you're flying into Whitefish. They're airport bathrooms are so fancy.

The people we share roads with are terrifying.
While at Discount Tire, woman comes in because she has a flat. Sales person tells her that the nail is on the sidewall, so it likely can't be repaired. If they take it off and it can't be repaired, they cannot put it back on again. Plus all her tires are at 4/32", which is the point of replacement. She calls husband who is clearly pretty aggressively doubting what she was told. Tells her to get it looked at and that they will get them replaced during the summer.
15min later? As expected, tire can't be fixed. She starts to get butthurt that they aren't going to put it back on. Calls husband again. He can now be heard from 10' away, not on speaker, and is mad that they are scamming him. Refuses to buy all 4 tires, but because they are forced to, agrees to buy one. Sales person explains that a single tire replacement is bad for the drivetrain, especially when one tire is drastically different than the other.zero fucks given. Replaces one tire.
Car? Top of the line dual motor Model 3. $50k car...

Corrective action meeting was a success, we shall see if it makes a difference or they get shown the door. Came home and made pasta. Cleaning my Kayak gear so that we pass quagga mussel inspection (all boats and gear must be clean and dry) so we can launch and go fishing on Lake Del Valle tomorrow.
Another person that needs a status car, and can't afford it.The people we share roads with are terrifying.

I think having 9 other 9ish year old female friends from school over for my 9 year old's birthday (with the idea of having them all sleep over strewn across the basement) isn't working out quite as said middle kid envisioned. chaos abounds.
next year I'm going to strongly suggest limiting it to 3 of her sane friends.

Also extra bad because apparently the high torque from electric motors causes tires to wear quicker.The people we share roads with are terrifying.

Also also, fuck 'em.
Evening Monkeys.
I rented a chainsaw to finally section the oak rounds I've had for like 3 years now. I got it 2/3rds of it cut up, I have 5 left to do. I have more firewood than I think I can use at this point, but I need to finish it up eventually.
Some sections are still 6x6 and fucking heavy. Those should burn for days.

Swapped out a clapped-out Manitou Xvert TPC fork. With a Marzocchi Z1 Air on another bike. 93 Specialized Stumpjumper M2. Perfect shape. Perfect fit. Gold Mavic 223 rims with Hadley hubs. 9spd XT kit all around Badass. I donated the Raceface cranks and chainrings to keep the dream alive.
