Its a windy one out there today.

Also, looking out my office window, it appears that half of the cars in the parking lot are parked at an angle. Is it a case of follow the leader or..... :homer:

I was quite sick yesterday afternoon and evening. Two blankets, shivering on couch, doing little except focusing on not moving or doing anything. Fever broke around 7 PM and by this morning I feel over half normal. Good enough to spend half a day in my office and half a day in the reading room and not waste 8 hours of sick time, at least.

In related news, I haven't eaten solid food in 21 hours and feel very little desire to do so.

Rain all week, then nice this weekend, I'll take it. I have Friday off, then only working a 3 day week next week. I agree with Johnny, no fucks will be given.

I have given my kids genes to breed bugs beyond the coping level of my immune system.

Do people till ride the Blackjack trail a lot? When I rode it there was nobody on it. It had some fun features, but seemed a bit 'forced', if that makes sense...that dirt sure is superhero when moist.

A lot? I'd say no... and you described it nearly perfectly. Some fun stuff with some features. My main objection to a number of the features is that they have pretty bad transitions at the bottoms - steep rollers to flat with kitty-litter-loosed granite at the bottom is generally not my idea of a fun time. I walked a lot of the nasty stuff. There are some fun ones in there, though...

Yeah, I hear ya. There were a few good, hard to clean sections, and others I would only do with armor (if I were to try them) but that's not the place to haul that stuff into.
Interesting project in the middle of all that XC, though.

Concur. Some fun stuff, but mostly it's stuff I'm no longer willing to commit to with what's left of my body, and no real options for getting around it. Even walking some of them are sketchy if it's wet or snowy. I certainly appreciate the effort that's put into it, but it seems kind of out of place for the area given the more XC focus for the rest of the trail system.

I actually got to do some work on that trail during the build-phase. The planners really wanted to have a techno-trail in among all that XC stuff and they definitely made it happen. That last feature always bottoms me out...
