Insomnia. Maybe I'll sleep at work?
Awake but why?
Purchased HD version of 12 Monkeys.
Scored a Blue Atlas Cedar second hand. Been on the look out for one for a while but people had been asking way too much money.

Here. Still sick but already a lot feel better. It's like all of my sick hit yesterday at full force and has tapered off pretty quick already.
Going to do some work and then chores around the house that have just been on the list for a while.

dogs were being fuckers so slept in. coffee, waffles, bacon...then hike with fam.
Well the root system was not super big so we shall see if it will make it. I also cut some of the top to minimize the water demand on the root system and can cut more off it has a hard time. It's not different than moving stuff in your garden. My big take away besides cutting down some of the plant is to water it all the season. With conifers you can also hose over the entire plant to help it stay cool and hydrated.
Nothing like waking to the sounds of a dog barfing in the hallway. Said eff it I clean it up in the morning. I love tile floors.
Espresso then off to hike some sandy trails in the woods with Ruth.

self quarantine musings:
Men : cool I can just chill out and relax
Women: Ooh what projects around the house can we ( ie Him) think up and get done (nag him to death)

My wife has re-arranged the living room, office and entire basement.
My 17yo has provided most of the labor and when he complains I simply reply: Welcome to the last 30 years of my life.
House looks great though.
I'm cleaning my basement (again). Building a temporary desk and getting my bouldering wall reconfigured to set routes for my kids.
Rode early with my next door pal and his friend. It was a chill ride, 29F when we started. The zombie hordes started showing up a little later today, I am guessing it was too nippy. Now gotta pick up a cat food order in the store and see if I can find alternatives for food they are already out of. Later lunch - fresh cod is on the menu.
3rd cup of coffee completed. I think I have enough motivation now to go into the cold garage and workout. If the morning is still clear as its supposed to rain, I'll grab a bucket of softballs and my tee and head to the park for another hitting session since softball season in on Covid-19 hold. Did 4 rounds of 30 balls yesterday, try and do the same again today.
What it do, yo!! Fucking hell!! (in a good way)
I got 10.5 hours of sleep last night, then hit the high school track for 14 miles (7:02 avg pace). I'll probably take the tri bike out again this afternoon once it warms up a little, because 25 degrees can fuck off. Or I may just sit on my ass.

Despite wanting to die yesterday, I managed to turn the basement entertainment system and couches 90*, remounting the TV and stereo system. We have some hightop chairs with the pad coming off the frame, so I get to cut some wood and remount them today. I've been told that I will be re-painting the basement, an office, and at least one bathroom (possibly two) over the next few weekends. Wifey will be making a one-off trip to Home Depot before we get locked down to get what she* needs and colors chosen after I do my inventory of painting supplies.
As you are aware though, that inventory search has had some upside though! I'm keeping about 10, but 20 should go out to you. I'm assuming my p100 respirator should last me for a while, but Wifey and MIL (mostly) will need to have some too.
Would love to go hiking or riding today but I fear there will be way too many mouth breathers out there that won’t give you at least six goddamn feet.
I think it’s supposed to rain tomorrow. I have awesome rain gear and am not scared of shitty weather. Especially if I can get some solitude.

Just found a copy of the original Grand Theft Auto for PC from 2002 among my ancient files, seems to work with some graphical glitches, so I shall amuse myself with that today.
Next up I know I've got original Command and Conquer Red Alert somewhere...

Can confirm, zombie hordes have invaded our trails.
Original GTA was best GTA
Just got back from hiking. We left just as the Hords were arriving. We and the furballs enjoyed a 2 hour hike
I will now reassume the proper social distancing position in my hammock with a cold beer

There was a lot of angst, anger and panic on the local MTB group site. Trails are packed, mostly with knuckle dragging hikers and riders, people think that the outdoors is going to end us all.
I avoided the crowds by riding late in the day, challenging daylight, was mostly empty.
When I went to Utah I changed out my heavy slow rolling tires to some Bontrager XR4s, worked great in the desert, almost killed me on Friday. Put my heavy Assegai/DHR combo back on the bike. MaxxGrip makes my heart skip a beat, those things can let you do some dumb dumb shit in the wet.

yep. Hard to decide to tone it down when the grip is so good.
I’m definitely taking it down a notch these days. Keep my incompetent ass out of the ER...
I kind of toned it down. But this is the first time I have ridden here in reasonable conditions since I got the new bike setup properly.
so
fucking
good
