I just nabbed some 2021 model Magura MT7 brakes for 480AU delivered.

Found a Stahlwille 32-27mm spanner in an engine bay today and got to use my scope for the first time at work.

spent an hour last night cleaning all of the stuff in my tool/parts bin that i keep in the trunk, as somehow an entire bottle of chain lube had spilled in it. only casualty was a cheap set of brake pads. but what a pain.

coffee has been ingested. time to make another cup and get myself out the door, i guess. gonna be a hot one. glad i work in a meticulously climate controlled environment!

Ugh.

Still sick.

Fridge is no longer doing its one job of being a fridge. Everything in the freezer is screwed it looks like.

Is this week over yet?

Pulled pork on the smoker, @CrabJoe StretchPants coming over for dinner later.

Boss just had to go and ask me to take over as team lead. Gonna give that one some careful consideration, it'd be a step "forward", but I might get away from the technical stuff a bit. That and I may not get to slack off as much. Hmm.

Will you be getting paid more? If not fuck that.

Received 2” nice and slow last night. (Rain). So just over 5” in two days. It will help the crops but a month of 90+ and no rain has pretty much fucked most of my corn. Oh well, thankfully I have a wonderful day job. . .

Made a bike box, on hold with airlines waiting to find out if it's small enough for flight. One bag with shit that can't go in carry on, hoping the TSA folks are being paid enough not to take it but must will be zip tied down. Everything else will fly in my carry on. Going with one set of clothes for flight and off bike activities, ul pants and hooded t shirt. After the race I'll go shopping for touristing clothes. Deciding if my OG plan to cut up the box and carry it to the race start then retape it afterwords still feels good, alt plan to ditch the box at airport and get another box from a bike shop in copenhagen. Leaving home in ~24 hours.

One day I’m going to have a French Press on my night stand. Getting out of bed for coffee is some bullshit.
Why not both:



Hot take: the demon brew creates chemical dependency and withdrawal symptoms should be schedule 2...

This guy <= has never had a cup of Joe, though adulting has created the need for tea...

Yesterday, I pooped in a box and mailed it. It felt so weird handing the nice UPS lady the box and thinking - please don’t drop that or store it upside down.

I sourced caffeined from non-coffee based liquids until I learned that it was actually a magic pooping elixir.

Confirmed: Mt. Lion is exhausting at 7:00 AM. Fun trail, it was Northwest wet, though.
Had you ever ridden it before?

You should go ride a lap of Bergen Peak up to the summit before the weather rolls in this afternoon.

In hell. Welcome!
Morale is low, confidence in management plummeting, and we won't be giving out raises to non-C suite this year...what do we do? Oh I know! Free ice cream in the cafe! That'll placate em!
The subsidized food they serve is the only reason I show up in the office once every full moon.

This French press is eye opening, literally. I'm down to two cups of coffee, half the previous strength (coffee volume) and still twitching until well past noon.

Time for leftovers and back to work.

We get "recognition points" that have cash value. Our teammates will give each other kudos, boss will boost for cash multiplier, then VP will boost again. It's an under the table monthly bonus of ~$100-150. Not a ton, but nice little kick.
