Cloudy day. I think I will just focus on housework and see if I can finish painting the foundation. I hope the paint I am using will last longer than what was used before. I just looks amazing with a fresh coat of shiny black paint.

Was Father's day here today, went to see the old man in the rehab shop.
He seems okay and is super keen to get back on the bike, said he'd be stealing mom's bike first off because of the dropped top tube.
There was no talk of giving up on life and getting an E-bike, so that's good.

need to finish cleaning the camper, more yard work, then go to the office and take the ambulance I'm riding in and get it washed. Finally I will bake some bread and make more falafel. gonna make a lamb and rice dish for tomorrows lunch ( we have a 12 volt crock in the ambulance to reheat rice and stuff).

Leg (calf) cramps are a sonofabitch, Had one last night and it’s still hurting…

…other than that nonsense, lounging on the couch, drinking coffee, enjoying the mountain air. Can’t wait until we can move here.

Third drywall quote came back at $1,600, which is comical considering the first guy said $5,500. If you don't want the job, just tell me you don't want the job.

So in preparation, I must finish insulating, addressing a few electrical boxes, and mapping the location of all utilities just in case.

Hanging drywall is good for the soul. You should knock that out.

Here. Kart cleanup, maintenance, and service from yesterday. Drive to REI to spend dividends so Hannah has a camping chair and halfway across town to get race fuel. And replace the internals a toilet, because the bi-directional lever type failed due to hard water.:disgust1:

Pulling heat out of a bunch of apples through contained ammonia vapor. Giant refrigerator needs babysitting. I ate eggs and toast now I sip the coffee bean juice and wait for more things.

Rode the gravel bike last night after the kiddos went to bed. It is damn nice to ride the bike in the night time, through backyards and desert singletrack.

Next time you have a cramp like that eat a packet of yellow mustard. It will stop it immediately. I carry one in my first aid kit in my backpack.

creepy

just take them wakeboarding


found bear shit on top of my camper yesterday which meant I had to pull about 120 unripe apples off our tree

I miss being able to eat them.
Bears like apples. Apples, apples, apples. Maybe don't park under the apple tree and the bear won't climb on your truck? If you want 120 apples, I'll count out them and hold em for ya.

The bear climbs whatever is there. If nothing's there, they just climb the tree and fuck up the tree more. I moved my flatbead into the spot because if they're going to climb something it might as well be that. Really don't want them on the roof of the camper. I had to punch out the roof of my tacoma a few years ago because a bear thought that was fun to be on top of and it had nothing to do with food or the apple tree.

The explosion of tourist idiots here has about tripled the bear population from what it was about 15 years ago. There are more bears here now than any wildnerness/undeveloped area in CA.

You ship fruit I assume?

Sounds like someone needs to start a bear/tourist jerky company.

Yeah I have shipped apples all over for people over the years. One time I tried to ship @jdcamb apricots and it didn't go well. Apples and pears ship fresh but not the soft/stone fruits.

Air cap fell off my fork somewhere on the trail today. Or I was an idiot and left it in my pocket, after adding a little air in the parking lot, and then it slipped out when I grabbed my phone (most likely, derp).

Anyone have an extra cap for a Rockshox Zeb? Or a 3d printer?
