I've got a 100mm drop 30.9 external routed lev that I'd probably let go for a c-note, if that would work on her frame?
•• Friday, I think? ••

Falling with a full pack while hiking is a completely different experience than crashing on a bike. Don’t have the same momentum to roll out with. You just smack the ground. So embarrassingly awkward.
They are working on a "through the forest" trail to get back to the start. I hope for you they are done when you come up. Waiting for it to make my trip there.Yeah I'm doing some research about that on TrailsForks. That part looks AWESOME!
Im just glad I didnt reach out and break a wrist again....... I am also gladbI was using the small pack , alps little bear, and just had water and lunch in it.
About to head out for a ride, then interview for a job I don't actually want, but if I can get them to go along with an unresonable pay-rate I'll take, and making pizza tonight, not great, not terrible for a Friday.
You own a paint gun? If not, get yourself one.
Damn, I need to move to CO and start painting cabinets, $2k for 2-3 days work ain't half bad.

I'm guessing there is no where to park to shuttle the road back up?
shuttling is frowned upon there... like many many other things around Quebec.
this reminds me. it's time for #4 today.
i've already had 2. if i have any more it's gonna need to be decaf.
All built-in, so a bitch to pull down. Wifey is okay with fine roller as long as her desk surface is smooth.
She's 27.2, iirc. Little kiddo bike. I still need to get a replacement for the Nukeproof though. Reverb is shit.
i'm not that far down the nerd hole. yet.amateur!
what's your dosing? I do 18g in, and 40g out, in 25-28 seconds.
seriously though, any more caffeine messes me up.
I forgot to take my Vyvanse this morning. A mid-afternoon shot sort of helps me keep up.
I usually have 1 cappucino upon waking, 1 espresso after breakfast, and another espresso after lunch. Spread out like that it isn't too much caffeine. Probably less than someone having 2 large cups of drip coffee a day.
Also, knowing dose in, dose out and approx. time really helps you dial in the taste you're after. When you find you've pulled a good shot, write the "recipe" down, and then it's super easy to make it again. This is especially helpful in the morning when you haven't had a coffee yet!
Effing hot.heat index is 105 and we have 2-3 more hours before we reach the hottest parts of the day.
Surprised all you CO monkies down in Kansas aren't dead.
I just checked and our thermometer outside in the sort of shade is saying 93 freedums.
very nice. Where you planning on relocating to? Sounds like you have a pretty sweet location already...
We are building a new house on a bigger lot with the backyard being our trail network. Now we are 5 minutes from the closest trailhead, which is not bad, but sucks to have to take the car for the dogs and to go skiing.
Always wanted to build myself my own designed house after all these years designing for others. #iamanarchitectnot
At first I wanted to do that. But our second floor got a nice curve to it, so making the upper trim would have been a pita.
So I decided to leave it like that.
Looks good! Wifey is now on board with me doing the cabinets in the kitchen too. What's the best way to make sure your pulls are straight?
Electrical done. Tracked down the right line, junction box put in, lights installed. Just need to install the second set of doors on the cabinets (tomorrow), fix the repeater in the fan (or get a new one), and grout the hearth tile. We found someone to come in tomorrow to do the drywall and knockdown the other contractors fucked up. Wifey is currently painting her office to mirror the rest of the main floor.
There's still stuff like the office shelves, baseboards in the office (12' worth), and painting the laundry room (meh). But that is all pretty low priority. I have a feeling that painting the shelves will get prioritized over my workbench, but I will need that for the wine bar and kitchen cabinet doors. For those I will likely get a paint gun and set up a paint room in the garage.

Pulls? You mean door handles and knobs?
Those things. Wifey uses the fancy name, so I've just absorbed it.
I just build a jig using scrap wood to align holes in the drawers and doors.
Getting it square is my biggest concern.
Are those MDF with MDF pieces on top to create the shaker?
5/8 russian ply with a 1/8 applique stapled and glued. Having made real shaker doors with a router, this method is cheaper and faster. Of course only for painted doors.
I built a jig out of scrap wood, though I think they sell jigs if you don't feel like going through that.
Just make sure it has a backer on it, so the wood doesn't split when you break through with the bit. I also used Brad point drill bits to prevent wandering.
