Oof too many beers and shed visits. Managed to pass out on the couch. Trying to pull it together and go to the office. Need to decide on breakfast. Leaning towards stopping and getting a burrito.

Flagged a new trail in the rain last night. Got dark on us as we were finishing, but we got it done. Will add 3/4-1 mi of trail and bypass a shitty, washed out road climb. Just waiting on approval from the ranger and then we can start digging,

Half day today then home to pack for a week in Lake Placid. Fuck yeah.

WHAT IT DO. Wife was up early, which means Dog was up early, which means I was up early. So I sleepwalked through a 4 mile jog. Long sleeves and a headlamp required.

Mornin!

Darn smoke detector beeped for no reason in the middle of the night. Nothing was on fire, it has a fresh battery, it must need to be cleaned out or something. Only a couple years old.

Only a few short hours left until I make a presentation to the entire engineering section. Joyous!

Weather report seems to indicate that the DH hill is going to be closed this weekend. Lets all get together in the shed and pray for no rain next weekend, which is when they close for the season. I also just checked and they are keeping the lift open until 8pm. Does that mean a few DH runs with lights?! :brows:

Not much on tap at work here today. The local IT peeps from our buildings around here are gathering for our quarterly meeting today, which should take up most of the day. Then, BIKES.

Morning Monkeys.

It's payday bitches! Fog and cold this morning, fall has fallen, or something. Is falling? No idea, FTS Friday is on. I will seek out a burrito from Tito's after my morning meeting. That is motivation to survive said meeting. Stop standing around people, if you got time to lean, you got time to clean.

Fresh hops beer festival tomorrow! Woot woot! I'll likely ride my bike on some awesome singletrack first. Football Sunday. Wow, what an ideal weekend.

Dammit, I need to get my Bend Ale Trail trophy. Maybe this weekend would be a good chance. :fans:

It's fall festival in downtown Bend this weekend so if you come to town, expect some company! Fresh hops festival is in Sisters. WELL WORTH IT.

Sisters? I need to see if GFF is home, I might need to hit there. I thought the only things in Sisters was the quilt festival and the rodeo. :rofl:

:stupid:

one of my favorite things ...
This. I believe it may be close to the perfect food. It's a vegetable that's spicy, stuffed with cheese, deep fried (!), then smothered in delicious pork-based green chile sauce. Mmmm... and the homemade ones for Green Chile Weekend include not only "regular" green chiles, but poblano rellenos as well. :drool:

Been up since 4:30. Walked the dogs, walked the horse. Got Ruth saddled up and watched her compete at 8 this morning. Currently sitting in second place at the championship. Done for the day. Going to watch our friends ride for the rest of the day then throwing a BBQ for our friends at the RV.

Coworker that was diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer a couple months ago (who I mentioned previously) has been diagnosed Stage 4, with it having spread to her liver, bones, etc.

Fucking fuck. Mixture of upset and angry.

Was thinking Moab or Angel Fire this weekend, think we're going to stay at home though.

Five huge wild turkeys just walked across my driveway, definitely need that walk in freezer in the basement...

Morning (ish) Monkies. I just got back from Spokane after hitting the road at 4AM Pacific. I rode Beacon Hill for a few hours yesterday afternoon. If I lived there I'd be hitting it often. Not much changed from years ago but the rats nest of trails is even more complex, there are at least 50 ways to get back to the car park.

Last night at dinner a coworker clued me in on a $550 inflatable helmet that activated like a air bag, he showed me a video. When I told him I'd need at least half a dozen a year he did not understand...

Bought a sandwich to split with my wife for lunch. She didn't want the bacon on her half, and instead of offering it to me, she threw it away!

That's grounds for divorce.
