I also had a crap sleep, so no ride after work.
Work was good though, got to weld, fix some computer controlled sled thing, look at hydraulics and play find the engine number, I hate that game.
EDIT- The show Newsradio is still pretty damn funny.

managed to wake up early and get some time on the trainer. Half the challenge is physically getting out of bed to get things done, riding is almost less difficult than just getting up. Slept great too!
Started watching "All quiet on the Western Front". That was a mistake, I want to see the rest.

dog woke me up 20 minutes early 
but I guess that's better than finding a clean up on aisle 3. Espresso being consumed.

'Morning! Hot tub is installed and filled but won't turn on. 
So, the electrician is here again this morning checking it out, and we'll call the store when it opens at 10. I'll head for a run as soon as I get some coffee in me.

Here. Busy day.
Getting data logger installed on the kart today, maybe doing the brake bleed. Wifey told me that she wants me to have the kart serviced for anything that I'm not 100% about. That was my intention for the engine anyways, but good to hear that she's on board for that. Now I just need to get her on board with letting me use the Pilot to transport it. I can only borrow the truck for so long and renting a trailer will get expensive.

Up at 5 to take the trash out. Then passed back out instead of going to the gym. No arrival time at work was an hour late. Ooops
Morning Monkeys.
So after I ordered the dozen boards, the wife got on me about not having lids, so I was able to score 40 skate lids for $8.38 each shipped. That's like $22 cheaper than Walmart. 10 small white, 20 medium black, and 10 large blue. Should be a good start and at that price, getting more is only a matter of time.
It's crazy how this endeavor has lifted my spirit while lightening my wallet.

The Harbor Freight fold up trailer is awesome. I haven't used mine in a while but it was perfect to fit the big and little quad. Folded up it fits against the wall nicely. I got the one with bigger wheels.

Boss scheduled a "Quick sync - good news!" meeting at 12 today. Tell me you don't have anxiety without telling me you don't have anxiety.
Eyt ay em call with a Chinese team today, ugh. Weather's looking fantastic for the next couple of days so if I am not testing positive for covid tomorrow, I want to go to Thunder this weekend. Alas, le wife wants me to rake leaves and winterize the yard instead. Let's see if I can come up with a creative plan to make everyone happy.
It's still funny to me really. I was sweating spending $120 to finish my street board, now I've dropped about $700, but that money goes WAY farther and it's not like I'm broke, I just have les stupid money for a little while.
The wife called me a sneaky fucker (buying my street board) to start off with and now feels guilty for it. Win/win.
Landscaper (or high school kid at $15/hr) does your yard while you ride Thunder. Everyone wins!
don't be so sure.... Having done both, I think I'd rather the latter... though I suppose it depends on the Dr. the cute young intern in Paris wasn't half bad!
as for me, I'm solo parenting from now till Sunday night. it's glorious and sunny. work isn't overly busy. going to try to get out for a ride at lunch. especially since i might be home "schooling" the kids tomorrow since the government refuses to bargain in good faith the school staff...
Graybird skies have given way to rain. Was hoping to sneak a ride in, but it appears the weatherman person might be right about the forecast. Looks like a few inches has accumulated up at the ski hill, we'll take anything we can get up there. They run things like 70s porno bush... au naturel.
Daily highs have dropped something like 30 degrees in just a few weeks. We’ve officially skipped Fall, and now I desperately need some new cold weather riding gear.
weather turning, FOMO from working too much all summer is a mental kick in the nuts.
have a great day everyone.

gonna be mid 70s this weekend. i remember once as a kid it snowed on halloween. gLoBaL wArMiNg Is A hOaX
Not in my town. The quotes I am getting are adding up to thousands for the entire yard / multiple needed raking sessions.
Haven't you heard? You're just supposed to mulch 'em and let 'em rot.
I mulch them and take the several hundreds of pounds of mulch to a dump where they happily rot. They oak fuckers are the worst.Haven't you heard? You're just supposed to mulch 'em and let 'em rot.
Jesus. You tell them they can just dump it over your neighbors fence instead of hauling them away?
After record got October, we got basically 2 weeks of "fall" and now it's winter, yay.
rain in the desert, a little apprehensive about going anywhere off-piste since there isn't a single bridge in the basin
have you tried it nao'Morning! Hot tub is installed and filled but won't turn on.
Kart inside Pilot is a great way to ruin the interior and have it smell like rubber, gas, and oil forever

Good news for you or him?

You know, I never followed up on this. I have a couple rides on my new bike, and I'm pretty damn certain @stoney never did ride his even once, though he did consider my challenge prior to deciding to just sell the dang thing. Anycrap, new bike! It’s taking a bit to get it dialed, but this thing rips. Seems to have 95% of the descending capabilities of my old bike but is a touch lighter, climbs better, more agile, and is generally “less” bike in all the ways I was hoping it to be.
