Saturday and at work, workin'. I did hop on the tri bike at 5:15 this morning for a 20 mile jaunt around town. It's nice having the roads to myself instead of the usual rush hour mayhem that I am used to riding in.

I'm definitely too lazy for anything more than recycled 'dings.

Attempts have failed to get booked direct to Denver... and Air Canada's Chicago flight this evening sounds kinda dodgy at this point.

Fortunately there is some famous Jazz Fest going on in Montreal as well as fireworks for whatever reason... so yay? I'm too tired at this point to give a shit, so will probably just drink and sleep.

Dumb question, does this look right?

Swapped out old Avid Juicy brakes (front and rear, complete swap lever to disc) and "assumed" that it was good to go...

But looks like pads would contact more rotor without adjustment washers (which i "think"I sniped from old brakes...)

"Ice technologies" for the the loss, I should just N+1 and cut my losses...

Went to the drive in last night. Was pretty cool, got to watch a thunderstorm rolling by in the distance. Luckily it did not turn into the scene from Twister.



Going biking now. It's hot as balls. Might die, idk, but will have beer at end.

Try ditching the avid-style spacers?

Ditch all the Avid CPS washers, should just be the bolt and single normal washer.

Family is hanging out hanging out; funeral in an hour. Good swimming and good timing with the family. I believe that had a proper seizure this afternoon, so I'm shit seizure. Wife was taking a shower and when she got over, I was acting as I had a seizure. I'm seizure like one and my words are word hard. Hard shit.

After the fact. It's based in the linguistic part of my brain, so my talking can be jibberish.

Alright! Back to normal. Have been for a few hours, but been at the remembrance so unable to comment. Was really nice, more tears. We're all meeting in the hotel lobby for drinks shortly.

All of y'all have a good evening!

:stupid:

If we were hanging out and you started talking like this, I'd call 911.

I know it's stressful and it sucks, hang in there brother.
