I was having a good day until the end of the day, did some hydraulic stuff, run the hydraulics till the relief does its thing and bam, hydraulic hose blew with probably 2000Psi in it, then all you can do is watch as the cylinder retracts and oil goes everywhere, it's soul destroying, hahaha!
A piece of plexi stopped it from being hydraulic oil bukkake party for me, so that was good.

I used to relish the moment when hydro's blew on the equipment because that meant a 2 hour trip to town for new hoses until the company decided to put a parker hose machine in the job trailer.
Is Moderna the one with fiber optic speeds or am I getting it mixed up with the phizer 5g? cant keep track anymore
Moderna #4 is giving me the soreness. Gonna be a long day.
I don't care. I am waiting for the one that gives me an auto-brewery syndrome.
I have never had a bike stand, do I want a Minoura W-3100?
$250AUD delivered, it's steel and made in Japan, clamp design looks okay.......
I don't want a properly portable one as I am not taking it to other people's houses, bring your bike to me if you want it fixed or EAD.

got mugged by my furbots when the alarm went off. All 4 dogs jumped on my back, took me 5 minutes to calm them down to get myself out of bed and start up the espresso machine and feed the hungry hoard at the same time. Easy work day on tap YAY,
Tonight is stock the RV fridge so I can get on the road as soon as I get home on Friday. EMT gig in Sacramento this weekend

Trying hard to alive today. We'll see how it goes. I have two kids and one doctor's appointment per kid. WFH in between.
Feeling the urge to get a new xc bike. However the unavailability of anything is quickly dampening that urge.
Overwhelmed. At work, in life. Always too much to do and no time or energy to do it.
Gutters are up and doing their thing. Wife wanted black, so we got black. Hoping this shall prevent further rot and degradation along the house sill area.
i'm slowly accumulating parts for my next build. emphasis on slowly.

Not sure what's on tap today. I guess I'll just drink coffee until the fires start.
In other news, my 1up rack is supposed to show up on Saturday, which means I can finally set aside smuggling plums for awhile, and go hit the trails.

Wife and I wanted/needed new XC bikes for some racing plans this year and going forward. I wanted a Blur TR, ended up buying a SpecialEd Epic EVO from Mass for me that they shipped and driving a couple of hours to pickup the one for my wife from a dealer the other side of our state. Not a chance of getting the Blur TR's anytime soon when I was needing them.

New bike "soon"??
I am more grumpy than usual today.
Had an X-ray to check if I have cracked ribs. They told me wait 4 days for results. FOR A CRACKED RIB!!! And that's when i went with private healthcare. Fffs.
Also the tax man claims I didn't pay some shit I did pay because our shit trumpian government overspent and they need money so they are going after literally everyone
Also my boss is inventing dumb shit which is of no benefit to the company but it fits neatly in his head so I have extra work.
So I am kinda waiting for some good news as today has been draining AF.

I know direct order is bad but the bikes you can buy on YT's site are bikes that they have in stock so you get them in a week. They have a 130mm bike but no typical XC bike though.

used, new to me, and soon is now.
I grabbed a Mach 6 on a great deal, basically my RFX with better geometry for me. I'll swap a few parts from my bike over to this, sell the RFX
and slowly lighten 'er up and get this thing dialed.

There were many wants and a Trek Top Fuel check the boxes. The new geo is what I was looking for. I kind of wanted an Epic Evo but I am not patient enough to wait that long
plastic, the latest v.4 generation. Large, very dialed spec.
I've been riding one version or another of RFX since like 2001. No Turner in the garage will be weird.
probably the new bike! I have to tweak suspension, I might be slightly undersprung. (too much pie)
One of our VF2s ran out of way grease, Haas EOLed their grease with no cross reference to a non HAAS branded grease, so I get the glorius job of switching over their grease system for oil. Yay!
I have that stand, or maybe the older version of it since the feet are a little different. I believe I've had it since maybe 1998ish, for sure pre 2000. Gets a thumbs up from me.
FB has no sense of humor...
someone posted in the GFX user group what they liked about their gfx 50R....
my response was i could beat a man with it...pause ....take a picture....and continue on with the beating and it would still work flawlessly at the end...

Sounds like your radiologists need some more pay (as to attract more of them and reduce turnaround). Weekdays we read outpatients before 24h here, often 4-6 hours if done during the day when we are caught up from the prior day.
/me is likely getting a RadWagon 4 today. Better for multi kid carrying, via the Denver e-bike rebate in part (with a paltry $50 extra off as I’m nominally an educator)
Carrying two bottles on the bike was a need for me as the races are generally going to be ultra endurance, 100 milers or maybe down to marathon distance etc. Local Trek store didn't have much at the time either.
I picked yesterday (x-post from garden thread) in anticipation, but we escaped sans frost up here.
And FTR - these late season San Marzano's make a SPECTACULAR marinara.
What size is your frame?used, new to me, and soon is now.

Linear or box ways?
If linear use whatever the rail manufacturer suggests. If box way GTFO, shouldn't be using grease in the first place.
