Ride not success. My emergency stash of car was quarters was not enough. Gumbo clay was gumbo and brought me to complete stops half a dozen time in 2.5 miles... totally worth it.

Did PSP hack your account ?

Umm, yeah, I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing in the rocks. But thanks anyway.

I was hoping to introduce my banshee to another banshee.

Riding crabon rims is like driving a Jaguar - you have to have a pair of each in the shed.

If you can't afford the next set, don't buy the first?

Uh... no but it did take $9.00 in quarters to get all the clay off the bike, that shit is a bitch to get off if you let it dry. First trail ride of the year was 2.5 miles at an average of 4 MPH. Tomorrow needs different plan.

Please tell me that you did not pressure wash your bike...

good on nox... y u not farlow?

I've been happy with the 26mm internal with my 2.35" tyres, no desire to go fatter.

I must have got a little huck onto pointy rocks happy with the first trail rides since November over the weekend. Not sure when the fracture occurred, but given that I did 8000ft of vert it held up great.

OK, I didn't - there is low pressure setting. Currenty awaiting Glenfidditch Reserve 16 year old scotch neat and a blonde ale to go with fish n chips.

It is possible to wash your bike at a carwash without damaging the bearings or seals. Most of the spray wands have enough pressure without squeezing the handle. Or you can stand back at a distance. But of course avoid full pressure up close. If you're careful and don't make a habit out of then it's fine.

I have an HR question for IAB. A friends company just gave out a new employee manual and one of the changes is they now only accrue 2 weeks of vacation vs the 3 weeks they have been accruing. I am guessing this is just a dick move, but is there any standard for that sort of thing? Seems like there should be, but it seems not.

Tell your friend to go to work for that lost week in a bath robe and house slippers. And he might want to temporarily upgrade his computer chair to one of these.

It was Glenfiddich Reserve 18 year old scotch. Would hit again but not at bar prices, will buy my own bottle and bring to Montana Monkeyfest.

I am not IRB but common practice is to only change accrual policy for new hires while grandfathering in employees hired prior to the change of policy. While not legally required to provide any amount of time off benefits other than the minimum required to meet Federal FMLA requlations, the reduction in benefits does materially impact the level of compensation an employee has previously received and thus actionable as a civil complaint. Most companies would not risk legal action unless they were in a serious financial state that would require such a move in order to remain financially viable.

Thanks a lot, SM. I know since they don't allow carry over from year to year this isn't an issue with them making the change at the first of they year and it will apply to all employees. Again, just a major dick move at this point.
