I’m up. Man my ability to sleep has really sucked this week so I’m making some coffee. May ride, may not.
Anyway, how about saying something nice to someone today.

It's Wuthering Heights day!
Slept 8hrs, felt a bit better but still battled on the bike, 17km with some walking.
Bike is now finished, happy with everything on it but it did remind me why I don't buy complete bikes, only the frame and lower headset are original.
Oh, I do need to drop the fork travel a bit and hit the bike shop up for some reflectors again.

Up at for turdy, but what's new. Cut, joint, glue, sand. . . repeat. . .
Put my Black Market Riot back together. Hopefully I can manage to not hurt myself.
Have a 7 year old birthday party later.
Thinking about a ride in the canyon, but I suspect it might be awful soggy. Single Speed definitely needs an overhaul, have some parts on hand so I could start that. Lots of home projects. This only two day weekend shit is for the birds.
Stayed up too late playing gran turismo online last night... clawed my way from a D rating back of the pack jerry to podiuming again against C class drivers just by being consistent and patient then called it a night. All hail mediocrity!
Drove to work this morning for the first time in years. Quite accurately tho.

Coffee, ride.
Need to stop at the store to grab some rim tape, for my upcoming Continental tire purchase. My rear tires side knows are clapped out and holding on by a literal thread.
Itll be interesting as besides some Nokian Gazoloddis in the early days, I have never run anything other than Maxxis tires.
Oh sweet Mary, you finally have matching tires!
I don't know what you're talking about, a bike is never truly finished. There will be something to tinker with next week, don't worry.
That tire is pretty damn slow as a rear, wish they'd do it in a 60duro, all their other patterns seem shit.

Not that I know much about tires.
Aside from a proper dual air air spring and getting the AXS dropper rebushed/serviced, it's done.
New dual suspension frame when I get a new job......

Were you able to get out on the bike? It rained so much that I didn't think it would happen.
Swimming and packing up. Why does my week off have to be over?
Over 4" of rain here yesterday = soggy ground! We spent the time watching some of the Olympics and getting things packed for the big college move-in next week. Today is looking nice so some time outside will be happening.
I did! Sneaked out on Thursday morning before the rains came and rode most every trail in the place. It's a fantastic trail system, much fun was had.
Good!!!! Earl was going to take a day and come ride with you but the rain looked bad so I didn't reach out. It's super fun there. I think we are heading there Thursday.
I would have reached out too, but given how unsettled the weather was my ride ended up being a last minute thing. We'll have to connect another time!
Somehow this thing ended up in the truck after leaving the saw shop, guess I will have to adopt it since the shop is closed
I shall name it, Fritz
off to storage today to find my rolls of chain, wedges, falling axes, sig bottles, chain grinder saw bars and chain tools so I can actualy cut something soon.
Still waiting for the county to record the deed.

Wife sent me this photo from her walkabout this morning, and meanwhile I went to the grocery store. 
yeah...scooting our older one out the door on weds. too. can't wait!
house and yard stuff this morning; family hike at south mtn stare park this afternoon. gotta get some pizza dough going before we leave.
I somehow posted from the future in yesterday’s GMT, and now I think I need to go back to bed until tomorrow so as to not disrupt the timeline any further.
PM me where he’s going and your thoughts on the place when you have time. We’re currently doing the tours etc., but she has a year.
Whoa - she's on a pretty big Euro holiday. So Alps, Florence... where else she going?Wife sent me this photo from her walkabout this morning, and meanwhile I went to the grocery store.

I just looked up out of state tuition at that place. Surprisingly, not as bad as I'd thought it would be.
Somewhat joking, but depending on the program it actually is a very good school.
Lol. I had a few customers in that overcrowded over priced place you call home that thought Purdue was Ivy LeagueYeah... but Indiana.
Still good for a lol.
That's pretty much it. A couple of days in Milan and then she comes home.
Lived there 6 years too. Now I would move back to where @Full Trucker is. But the front range is a steaming pileI mean... it's that way because it's not Indiana. Just ask @Full Trucker.
Mine received her first college solicitation in the mail on Thursday. She'll be a Junior this year.
It definitely could be worse... like Ohio.
Ah, Florence is a beautiful place!Wife sent me this photo from her walkabout this morning, and meanwhile I went to the grocery store.

Is she going to Capri?
Yup. She went from a baby to 18 and starting college in the blink of an eye.
She's got to move in early because she's playing Field Hockey (D2 goalie) so it's a couple of weeks earlier than everyone else
