Meh.

Was up early so I could ride, pulled out the bike to find a flat tire, and my motivation was gone. Maybe tomorrow.

Also got age checked buying automotive electronic connector cleaner. Are people really huffing this stuff?

So what's the age cutoff for huffing it or not being able to buy it?

Work, then grocery shopping and then beer and/or a short bike ride.

Looks like we might finally see some double digits temps today. Itd be nice if spring weather would come around, it's almost May, man...

We're heading to our plot of land to do a spring cleanup. We think we might be building this fall to take advantage of the impending recession. According to a buddy of mine, construction costs are already 15% down. That would mean having a nice garage and still respect our initial budget.

Here. Going to visit @6thElement today to look at a bike. Making a Costco stop on the way. It's time to put gas in the Subaru for the first time since [checks service log] 3/14 - when Winter Park closed. Might stop by MB and Vovlo to sit in the new V60 and current e-class wagon (if there's no AMG).

You might want to also check out the VW Golf wagon. We really like ours (TDI Version) Drivers seat fits Wookies .

It's not the driver seat that's the issue; it's the seat behind me that needs the space.

V60 will feel tight on headroom/A pillar sweep and also tight on second row legroom/kid seat-room.

Mother. Fucker. I just realized that I forgot to adjust my bonus payout 100% into my 401(k), which is how I had planned my payroll contributions to max it out for the year. Now I have to take almost 50% of my paycheck (because all of our healthcare, daycare, etc come from my check) for the rest of the year and pay it that way. I mean, I didn't buy everything at peak in February, but fucked up my cashflow plans.

Oh hey guys! Checking in... been isolated with a teen for 5 weeks... as a sub I lost my job, but I've been going to school, so between teaching and studenting the kid and I stay busy. Buffalo is still working so he keeps the flow of a regular week going for us.

Haven't been biking since they closed everything down and the rule follower in me will just wait another week. Also looking for a new bike. Gary has served me well for 12 years... time for an upgrade.

Welp.

If only I hadn't told the wife I would go hiking with her this evening.

Mounted up that Butcher you gave me. Course this has revealed that my rear rim is a bit fubar after these past few rides. Hope I can fix it, otherwise its time to plow some cash into new hoops.

I ran 8 miles at the asscrack of dawn this morning. It was cold and I didn't see anybody else. I rode 44 miles on the tri bike this afternoon. It was beautiful, and EVERYONE was out on a bike, including people who obviously are new to riding bikes (no helmets, wrong side of road, can't pedal straight, etc). roflroffles

Ordered facemasks today, freaked out buying groceries yesterday. In the three-pack of these masks, one has a lipstick w/ compact print. Stay safe yo's, don't be the tough guy.
