First day of school for the kids. Going to walk them down to the school, and then accompany the wife to the doctor's office. Then back to work...
I slept like a brick last night. I hated going to work today. my mind is still out in the middle of the river fly fishing. Have to take the camper off the truck this afternoon so that I can take it to the tire shop tomorrow and have new front tires put on and get the alignment checked. And today starts another two weeks of work with no days off 
I’m Denver to take the Sprinter for some service. Hopefully not here for more than a day or two. Riding tonight, looking forward to a rip with the locals.
Morning Monkeys.
So today I have my mid year review update meeting and I'm not sure what to expect. My original goals were drawn up by my original manager. 3 months into the year I moved to a new manager. Then he quit, then his boss quit. So technically my manager is the director of engineering and I have never spoken to him. I sent a mid year update email back in July that didn't get a response.
I realize that when Jordan quit, that left like 50 folks to report to the director. But I achieved all my goals before mid year and made new ones, so there is that.
Then this morning I get an email about my 1:1 with the new manager. Next Tuesday, when I'm usually WFH. At least the new guy only has like 12 people reporting to him.

1UP rack is out for delivery. 
Going to hunt down a shop that can install the trailer hitch. One place said they couldn’t get to it until the end of the month or September. Gah...

So all that mulch and soil I moved Saturday? Unloaded by shovel? Did the rough math - 5500#.
Between that and the massage from yesterday (I have bruises all down my back since she was using her elbows), my posture hasn't been this good in years.

Tired of the effin' heat. Shirked my grown-up duties yesterday afternoon for some crik beers and swim-n-fetch with the muppet. Do not regret.
do you have a standing desk?
floated the jet ski idea to the wife... shockingly she was on board
Jet skis can be ridiculously fun surfing and hucking waves. In a lake it is like riding a bike in a parking lot.
modern ones have enough juice to tow for tubing. my kids would love it.
Afternoon. Day 1 of preseason went well....no one puked (yet). Then off to gymnastics camp and I didn't pack my bike because it was supposed to rain but it didn't! Oh well....sprinkling now so I think I'll do some laundry from the weekend camping trip
Also, SqEarl owes me....I bought him a new giggle pig and took him to a new to us trail system to rip it (it is so squishy).

Modern jet skis aren't jet skis, they're tugboats.
I know I like junk food, but my core diet is usually pretty healthy, with the junk food being complementary to said healthy diet. So, yesterday when lunch consisted of 10 Buffalo wings, a spare rib melt sandwich, a slice of peanut butter pie, and a bowl of ice cream, it knocked me out for the rest of the day. I'd have been fine with any one of those, but eating all four made me feel 
Feeling fine today, but I had to stay in bed this morning to help sleep it off.

Survived- all good under the hood.
Back to eating food and getting some energy stores for SHREDDING BIKES.
The anesthesiologist asked me what my drugs of choice are and I said mountain biking. He proceeded to tell me about his MC San Andreas. I may have offered to purchase it as I was going under. Haha
