Meh.........
At least the wind isn't blowing.
Good luck...
I'm here. Feel shitty. Missed my ride yesterday and hung out on couch/in bed. LOW ENERGY MAGA (MAKE ANDREW GREAT AGAIN)
My legs feel amazingly good this morning. Awesome weekend as I rode 76 miles on the bike. 8 days left of work then I'm off for two weeks yay.
Boston public transportation in full meltdown mode as a major subway line is out of service this morning. Roads are blocked by annoying Uber drivers who are above the traffic rules. Just another day in Boston.
Whew, we just moved into new temporary cubes, going to see how this goes
is it friday yet? FTS 
Two big days on the bike this weekend.
After 4 weeks of no exercise recovering from surgery the predicted suffering was delivered in spades.
Been sucked into 3 hectic site visits since 7am today.
Pretty sure my eyes are flashing FTS; all I want is more food and a nap.

Sounds like the entire
population could really use a Fuckit Monday. 
Managed to get two rides in this weekend, one at the local trails and one up in the mountains at Santa's Village. Neat little spot where they built sort of a mini bike park. There's no lift, but it's roughly 350' of a mellow climb. Managed to get 8 laps in with some buddies. Up at 4:30 this morning for gym time. Feelin' fresh.
^ ouch. Hoping you have a good insurance agent to deal with, @6thElement .
So it looks like I'll be in Denver for a couple days of work in the week of 11/11. Would any CO monkeys be up for a beer on 11/13? Gotta arrange my travels later today.

This happened to me back in spring. About a 40' Bradford Pear tree that was mine (on my property) fell down on my neighbors driveway after a strong windstorm whipped through. Landed on the hood of his 8 month old Chevy Silveraydo dentist truck. He tried to come at my insurance company (State Farm) and get money for it off my homeowners...Well State Farm said F-you we ain't paying. It was an 'act of nature' and thats why you have comprehensive auto. Its on your policy since the homeowner (me) did nothing to make tree fall....I said sweet. cleaned up the tree and went about my business. He is still pissed because his deductible was something like 2k.
Double check to be sure, but it's my understanding that in the state of CO, once the tree crosses the property line it's someone else's problem.
Edit: As per the above post.
"You know what would be *really* great - if we put in place a constitutional amendment that REQUIRES *ANY* tax increase to be voted on the by the general population."
"That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Do you know how dumb the general population is? The general population will HAMSTRING the functioning of the state/local government."
Colorado: Oh, we're totally going to do this.

Everything you need to know about measure CC can be summed up by those opposing it."You know what would be *really* great - if we put in place a constitutional amendment that REQUIRES *ANY* tax increase to be voted on the by the general population."

isn't there already one town in CO that tried this and now they can't afford to keep street lights on?
Edit: See here
A thread you started BTW.
FWIW, it's gotten better because we actually approved some taxes after a couple years of sitting around in the dark. The lights are back on, the trash is getting picked up occasionally, and we've approved enough tax money to at least start filling the potholes.

"Tried it"?
We fucking DID it in 1992.
And guess what? The general population finds it EXTREMELY easy to say, around November, "Hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp-a-derp. Moar taxes BAD. IMA VOTE NO!"
And then complain about local services/infrastructure/the usual shit.
Bonus points for our county - we have an inordinate number of older/retired people in our county... so they fucking vote down bond issues as well, 'cause, "Huuuuuuuuuuuuuurp-a-derp. Why would I fucking vote for that shit? I don't even HAVE any kids in school."
those bradford pear trees suck. developers loved them in the 80s and 90s because they have nice flowers in the spring and colors in the fall, but they have a limited lifespan and then start dropping limbs right and left during storms. The main streets of our neighborhood are lined with them. So pleased there aren't any in front of our house.

I'm not sure how Texas will help? Suggesting perhaps we should secede?
i meant the texas transplants are to blameI'm not sure how Texas will help? Suggesting perhaps we should secede?
I was buying one of my 99 cent gas station coffees yesterday ($1.06 with tax) and the guy in line in front of me was a penny short on his purchase. I am surprised the cashier didn't let it slide, but she wanted the penny. I'd have covered for the guy, but he was buying cigarettes, so fuck him. He had to go back out to his car to get a penny. lmao
They sure aren't helping. 
damn.
working from home waiting on the chimney sweep while cannabis & coffee levels get replenished.

Yep, they suck. I'm glad the wind saved me from calling the tree guy I had been contemplating for about a year. Although I hate it for my neighbors truck even though he is a dumbass. He was positive (wishing)the insurance was gonna total it for a dented A-pillar and hood..So he could get a new one in a color he liked more.
Very bad weekend.....
Not much else to say but we will miss you Jake...
BMW hauled away on a flatbed recovery truck. Not sure how effed it is, I'm sure the top of the strut towers weren't happy with the impact.
Truck tailgate took the initial impact, tree then bounced onto the bonnet of the beemer.
As long as nothing underneath the truck objected too badly to having a tree land on it, all that it appears to need is a new drivers side latch for the tailgate, ~$40. I'll go try and persuade it to work later with a lump hammer and pry lever. Not about to worry about the huge tailgate dent on a 21 year old plow truck.
