Damn this week is dragging. On a positive note temps look to be about 80 with low humidity and sun into the weekend. Now if only I can make it that long without seriously beating somebodies ass in the office that would be great.

Im honestly considering going back to saints and doing the warranty dance every 2 years.

I wonder what it would take to make some pistons out of stainless or similar... :think:

Mornin!

Yesterday wasn't the day, so perhaps today is. FIL is being very particular about hiding anything and everything in the drywall seams, which is a very laborious process.

In other news, time to get to the archery shop and get my bow dialed in. Whitetail season is only a month away.

you do realize all you have to do in new england to get a deer is just drive around at night? you're bound to hit one eventually
Sounds cheaper and less frustrating my way.

Though if we are talking about roadkill deer, nothing comparrs to cruising the Wisconsin highways during the fall. We saw at least a deer carcass every mile.

I ran five miles at the track before dawn and there was a guy there doing sprints while hacking and coughing the entire time. I just wanted him to STFU. I don't know why that was annoying me so much but he was disrupting my quiet time.

Last day with this view out my cubical area's window, as my company is ditching the Freedom Tower for cheaper, smaller, more soulless space in some anonymous midtown office tower. No more daily reminders of when everything in the world went pear shaped. No more walking past tourists taking kissy-face peace-sign selfies in front of a mass grave. And sure, my DNA is on record with homeland security just for the privilege of working in this giant glass phallus thrusting upward from the crotch of capitalism. It's a small price to pay compared to the high prices I pay just to eat lunch around here. Meanwhile, my company is downsizing its per sq ft and human capital footprint, hiking up its proverbial skirt and thrusting out its pert breasts in order to appear fiscally attractive enough to be bought asap.

Happy god damn hump day, internet people.

if i wind up selling my DH bike i'm seriously considering pulling them and putting them on my megatrail.
Speaking of selling DH bikes, a good friend of mine is taking possession of the tenth GG/DH Beta today for a trial run. If it works for him, I’ll be “selling” it to him for a nominal fee. Pretty stoked that the bike might go to someone who will really dig it, use it, and (kind of) appreciate its history.

considering volunteering at the local habitat for humanity, maybe what I learn there can one day be used to build a shed as fancy as JBP's

We're out of oatmeal. :( Riding Dyke Trail Loop today, then fucking off this evening. Bonus, I scored a free massage yesterday! Much needed after endless riding.
