Going for a road ride in a little while. Then hopefully it will dry out nicely for a mtb ride tomorrow.
Spending my vacation doing stuff around the house.

™™™™™ Tuesday GTM

- Start date
Sad Tuesday. They are clear cutting the forest near my house to make way for a bunch of $2M, modern farmhouse luxury homes. 
Gonna drive down to the in-laws at lunch so we can pick up this fancy cedar play structure that the wife claimed off Marketplace. Hopefully the child will enjoy this in a few years.

What it do, you spicy monkeys! Our neighbor is paving his driveway and our young dog is freaking out about it. She is scared of the big scary trucks and hides and shakes, just like she does every week when the garbage truck rolls through the hood. The old dog though goes up to the big tractors and sniffs them. She has zero fucks to give.
Tell the giraffe-head suited guy we said hi.
Apparently he is one of the Mud-People.
1) are we talking white people spicy (like milk is spicy) or traditional thai "my entire face is numb and I won't be able to sit right for a week" spicy?
2) how is the old dogg doing? I thought she was sick a few weeks ago?
3) I looked into the half ironman but it's the same week as my cousin's wedding, so I have a valid excuse. Will hope to do an additional tri or two next year though, probably sprint level.
It snowed last night. I’m not ready for that yet. My freshly re-manufactured carb for my ‘76 showed up. Hopefully this makes us run a little moar gooder.
Very happy to have finished tofu nugget harvest, ethanol pellets can handle snow better.
Old doggo is going on 14. She's playing with house money at this point. She had some serious intestinal issues a few weeks ago and spent two days at the e-vet but has recovered from that. Overall she is just old and rickety. Sometimes I need to hold her up when she pees/poops so she doesn't tumble over, she needs help getting up the three stairs at our front door, it takes some work to get her to eat her meals now, and she needs help getting up off the hardwood floor. Basically it is like taking care of a very old person. This is what we sign up for when we adopt a pet.
Yup. The loss is devastating, but the joy and companionship are absolutely priceless.
Morning Monkeys.
I really like having 4 day weekends and wish I could make them the norm. Made a trip out to Hood River on Sunday to get apples and pears, great success. Got all the back lights on Frita swapped out for LED's, still deciding on the front lights. I want to upgrade the headlights but the options are way too many.

Doubley so when the community is touted as being out in farmland, the wilderness etc. Except yall come in and clear-cut everything....barf. but I guess it's okay because they plant a few saplings after, which usually die.
Living in a house with no shade or trees sucks.
What used to be a large park area at the end of our road has spent the last two years being developed into ugly $2m+ houses. Not a fan. I'm sure the elk that used to summer in there don't appreciate the change either.Sad Tuesday.

Thanks, I'll give his shaved belly a rub.
He's only 11 or 12 years old and this came out of no where. They poked his liver last night, trying to get a more definitive answer to what it is - without putting him through too much stress.
Feeding tube sounded drastic to me, but he seems ok with it on his neck. And makes it way easier to feed and give drugs.
I feel the worst for our neighbors, who have lived here for 30 years surrounded by forest and farmland their family has owned for over 300 years. They were crushed yesterday watching the crew laying waste to a bunch of old growth (well, for New England) trees.Man I hate seeing that.

I still marvel at the number of people who can afford homes like that.
But hey, Denver area needs more housing amiright?
slept like the dead, but only until 5:30.
laced up new wheels last night over whiskey, then checked them this morning over coffee. (science!)
actually dusted off my tension checker thingamajig, which let me to make some adjustments and now these are dialed.

will hopefully be building some new wheels over the winter / early spring. heard a rumor that the mtb box stealth hubs may not actually be vaporware after all.....
Guessing King somethings?
Building super-light wheels for wifey this morning for her birthday. I don’t think she will be as excited as I am over it, though. Gonna drop two pounds + off of her bike with Wheelset, pedals, rear tire, cassette, and Ti railed saddle.
it will be onyx if the stealth hubs do not manifest themselves from the ether
one way bearing > sprag clutch
its not to late for things to get sabotaged in the middle of the night.
I need a new truing stand. My 15yo Park struggles with wide hubs and big rims.
i'm on the fence between unions and factions. however i have also hear WR1 is already testing their next gen of rims, so i might just lace up some alloy rims while i wait for the new stuff.
Narrowed it down to the inverter/converter, going to have to pull it and bench test it. Naturally it’s in the absolute worst place and position and weighs a ton.
