No, but I'm knee deep in pytest. I'm the first actual QA guy here and the company started around 2000. So they have built a ton of automated tests, but no documented test cases or documentation on what's being tested and how without reading the code. I've only run and played with basic python scripting, this is an entire test framework built in it. So my boss gave me some light reading. :rofl:

I'm signed up for a 2 week boot camp that I hope will be enough. I might use the reference guide, but I haven't sat and read a programming book in a while. That's a very old school way to go about it.
The code is the documentation! Always. :clue: :shakefist:

Wife accidentally purchased a new bike. I am happy for her. Her Evil was looking a little worn. Back home from a month trip to Utah to parents. Riding was done, COVID was gotten, and now I need a vacay.

I get a fixed $1200 out of my check, she gets the bulk.

Did the budget exercise last night with the wife. She was not pleased with the outcome. Easier than explaining why we don't have the money to drop $10K willy nilly on house stuff this year though.
sell the 3500!

my house's 13.94 kW produces ~72 kWh on a good day, to add another datum.

/me went skiing. 22k vert in 4 hours with a friend.

Took a vacation day today to just go ride and get some other shit done, it was glorious. Almost cancelled as the shit hit the fan on my old project at work last night. Felt guilty for a little bit until I remembered that what is causing the problem was a feature I emphatically argued against at the beginning of the project as it was unnecessary and would over complicate things and I got overridden by a bunch of morons. I remembered my new personal policy of not giving shit about problems I tried to prevent and was ignored. This is costing us many millions, :rofl:.

Riding the baggage carousel.
Hardtail finally got converted to tubeless. Rear wheel went fine, but for some reason the DTswiss front was just a horrible disaster. First stem pulled through when tightening, was a nightmare getting it out. Had to run out and buy another. Couldn't get the bead to seat for the longest time. Driveway has so much Stan's on it it looks like the set of a Japanese porn. What a pain in the ass.

Beer time I guess.

Pro tip. do not add sealant until you get the bead set, you will still have to break one side to put the sealant in if you can't inject through the valve, but a hell of a lot easier than seating two beads. If they are asymmetrical rims unseat the side with the shortest distance to the groove in the rum.

Also these are worth their weight in gold even if you have a compressor as they will connect to the valve stem with the core removed for higher flow rates.


A motivated fellow could easily make their own.

yeah, i always air up to get the bead popped, then remove core and add sealant, then replace core, air back up, spin and shake. typically works great.

Can't sell the 3500 just yet. How do you think I'm transporting all these building materials when I inevitably end up DIY cause paying someone is too expensive? :rofl:

jacob's wife taryn's cousin, yeah. great dude.
Jeez, been almost 20 years since I rode with that crew at Vietnam. Wild.

Probably hadn't had a beer since post ride Rockstacker/Jackson's last April, just after @Full Trucker tried to kill everyone on TWE the day before.

Had two strong IPA's catching up with @Fool for the first time in too long and swerved my way walking two miles on the way back. Good times.

This is truth. Mount the tire and set the beads, then deflate and crack one side for the stans addition.

Hello monkeys. Fighting some sort of respitory illness. Not super fun. Seems like it's been rolling along like this for months. I blame the China flu.

Took my parents dogs to the vet. I miss my dog. Dogs are friendly companions.

People still use valve with non removable core?

Other Half doesn't do anything, uh, half-assed. Bike trip ideas were hatched, hope it wan't just the beer talking.

I pay my truck payment, my bike, my credit card, phones/cable/internet, insurance, and some other crap. She pays the house, her car, her cards, blah, blah, blah. She manages the savings because I'm terrible at that sort of thing. I use the joint credit union account, she has a Chase account. It works out well. I have money to buy stupid shit if I want to and she's happy..

had a great morning, took a nap at lunch, started to drive off and the rear tire was flat. went to use the jack, it didn't work, then it started to pour. FUCK ...15 minute walk to harbor freight and I had a 8 ton jack in my hands, swapped the tire finished the route. thankfully I had a rain jacked and my EMS pants are synthetic so the vehicle heater dried them out really fast. Pizza and beer for dinner.

there's no such thing as no crowds in SD
it was raining most of the day. Kids ran in loop’s riding the roller coasters. I really like the walrus, the one I used to feed as a kid died and you can only feed seals now.

let’s not forget today is a Wednesday in March as well.
I've only been there on weekdays for work (SD, not seaworld although I saw the lines in and out of that place every morning and evening). I fart and everyone around me says "ahhhhh" and smells it before I even can.

At least that's what I got from the body language. God knows what sounds were actually made because no one can hear shit with the airplanes landing on your neck.

Ya it fucking sucks. I would take the kids places on superbowl Sunday as well.
