Hey Ho Monkeys.

Doing a flag raising at the memorial for festivities today. We are having trouble finding folks to raise the Space Force flag. I still think it looks like the Star Trek flag, but you know.

Also props on the wingdings, well done sir.

That's not a workspace, that's a closet.

I'll be sure to hang my wet, slushy bike gear in there come winter...

I'd take that over my current "open office" environment where I have to wear sound cancelling ear buds underneath sound cancelling headphones to hear myself think over the clatter of coworkers on loud conference calls with each other. Not to mention being able to block lonely people who want to have inane conversations and the smell of rank overheated lunches.

that's actually a "quiet booth" in the middle of an open office space... for taking calls etc.

Why do you hate impromptu ideation session?

JK. The only time I get to think in the office is from the porcelain cubicle. Until of course the guy who hocks at least a dozen loogies every bathroom trip comes in and starts firing up.

on the one hand, this new location sucks ballz (no parking, no rapid transit, poor cycle infrastructure, and very far from the central business district at it's across the river from the major urban population centre), but since I live relatively close by (about 17 minutes by bike), I will be showing up for in-person meetings, logging on, and then fucking off home. I guess I'm "lucky" since I can do that, but my manager's commute will be over an hour each way by bus, and maybe 40 minutes by car if there's no issues on the bridges.

Gawd, this whole move makes my angry.

Boat needs to be bigger.

Wife started feeling ill on our ride, so had to abort. Got up to 12,274ft which was about an hour short of the summit at 14,150ft

COVID test done, but it's out of date so hrug:

Cooties seem to be going around. Kid came back from camping and was subsequently down for two days feeling like shite.

Rode, why the hell did I choose to drive on 7/4?

 

[Nick]

Another 15 miles and 2k of verts this morning. BB creak is still awful, tearing into that again today. Heading down to Full Truckerland in the morning to ride.

I think this is the best way to go, quite frankly

When I go I want it to be peacefully and in my sleep, like my grandfather.
Not scared and yelling, like all those poor people riding on his bus that day.

Interstate was at a standstill when we headed home post ride.

I experienced small towns post parade/celebration congestion and inane parking at swimming holes, poor puppy...

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Riding was good, but I slammed my right foot into a trailside boulder resulting in sore toes.

Went for a ride. Messed around in parks for a while. While riding side by side in a straight line, friend decided she wanted to turn. It didn't end well. We both went down. Saw a bear.

Well, that was quite enough mountain bicycling for one day.

True story. Not a lick of traffic up or down. Trails were likewise pretty much deserted.

BB creak is still awful, tearing into that again today

You’ll be glad to know that after disassembling every fucking part in my drivetrain, cranks off, chain ring off, bottom bracket out, derailleur hanger off, cassette off, etc. cleaned meticulously and put it all together again, my bike is creak free again.

 

[Toshi]

... for now.

Many success, much glories!

Same here, except for the dipshit with the broken down truck towing a heavy trailer up a steep two lane construction zone mountain pass with zero shoulder.

*Slaps Hood* I never have to check the oil in this thing.

I assume there is some kind of underground contest to see who can tow as much as possible up SR18 with trucks purchased for less than $300. It is bad enough that abandoned boats are a very common sight.

Rubber side was kept down for 13 hours, appreciate your concern.
