Ah Sunday. Not sure what is in store, other than the daily blowout and coffee.



@slyfink you see this?

I drove past one of these freedom rally things yesterday. I'd guess it was about 70-100 vehicles long, going slow along a major two lane highway out in farm land.

Still don't understand what they're trying to accomplish by doing that, other than pissing off and upsetting people. Like their fellow truckers, trying to do their jobs....

DSO woke me at 6 needing to lay eggs. Hoping that's not the highlight of my day.

Morning.
We had all of the kids over from daycare. Funny how they see each other everyday day and were still quite elated to play together. I however am not that excited when I see my coworkers and would actually be quite pissed if they showed up at my house. Maybe I can learn something from a group of 4 year olds.

Anyway. Coffee, poop, pancakes. Not necessarily in that order. (Probably a shower in there somewhere too).

Up. Will hang drywall today.

The One That Got Away thread sent me down memory lane, looking at pictures of all the bikes I've owned over the years.
Some good, some bad, some meh, but in all, riding bicycles is fun no matter the bike.

They are simply eliminating covid on the entire planet.

Three is not enough coffee in the world to wake my fat ass up.

Present.

 

[Toshi]

Was up at 5 with anxious thoughts so browsed animal memes on twitter before dozing off again.

Snowing lightly up here now. Denver-bound soon.

Realized after I got home yesterday that the cashier at HD forgot to ring up the 4'x8' sheet of plywood. Hiding in plain sight I guess. Saved $66, woohoo!

 

[StiHacka]

It was supposed to be a real chilly morning, but it isn't. Gotta hit the frozen goodness before the sun kills it. 1/2" of rain tomorrow and warm temperatures in the next 10 days will likely kill the good ice riding for the rest of the season.

I once bought 20 sheets of ply 5/8" with one 3/8" on top of the stack. The kid scanned the 3/8" and proceeded to count the sheets. I felt dirty and dishonest for about one millisecond.

Overserved myself last night, oh well. Eggs, bacon, hash browns for breakfast. Will be tapping the maple trees today.

I would feel absolutely terrible doing that. . .


Terrible that it wasn’t 40 sheets.

 

[gonefirefightin]

I have finally gotten my emails and voicemails down to maybe a few a week. took forever to unsubscribe from all the junk mail and spam.

Might be getting my smell back, possibly, seems like I am smelling cigarette smoke but none of us smoke or have any smokers around us.

 

[eric strt6]

it felt good to sleep in until 7am. I woke up to 3 out of 4 dogs cuddled up to me. As soon as I opened my eyes they mugged me for about 10 minutes. had to go was the dog slobber off my face but that's ok. On tap: take the kayak off the camper and put my fishing gear away, yard work, change the oil, oil filter, and both gas filters on the truck

But first, savor my espresso in quiet before the SWMBO wakes up.

If I spot it in the store I usually make them aware of it. Often it comes out of a cashier's pocket if they made a mistake. I know I am stupid, but I feel bad for them.

How would they ever find out? Other than when they do inventory, find some is missing and write it off.

Kid tested positive yesterday so we haven't left the house. When I spoke to my councillor Friday she said it wasn't safe to go counter protest. It's getting violent out there now with people being assaulted for wearing masks, and windows getting smashed. Knowing my temper, I'd get in trouble, and with my back still not 100%, I'm not in a position to defend myself properly.

At this point, we're more pissed off at the Chief of Police and Mayor. Wtf are we paying them for?

I once bought 24 4x6 landscape timbers....kid scanned one and forgot to do the x24 multiplier.


Glad most kids don't have any concept of what things cost.

Would probably make aware any store that is locally owned. HD and Lowes can suck my ballz.

You sure about that? Even in a backwater, third world country like the United States, that's illegal.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

In FreedomLand if you try to correct the cashier’s mistake they will most likely lose their job. Just accept your free gift and move on.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

In other news, slept till 11 ? Coffee, pancakes, you know the rest.

 

[StiHacka]

I never keep stuff I didn't pay for.

Rode. Did over 13 miles on tech singletrack / lakes / everywhere else because crust. Once-in-a-decade riding conditions here, too bad it lasted just one day. One of the reasons fat bikes make little sense in the Boston area.

Here it is illegal as well, but they do it anyway. Buddy had a student job at a gas station and told me about that. Either you obeyed or have to find another job. Not sure how they find out though.

Soon….

The amount of free shit I get from HD when employees “help” is astonishing. When I’m left to my own devices at the self check out I make sure I pay for it all, but if they force their way in and don’t listen when I tell them they missed the shop vac or only scanned 1 of 50 2x4s I file under “not my problem”.

Not a real issue at the mom and pop places, they tend to have a higher caliber of employee

Crap that sucks about the kid. Hopefully yall don't get it and it's clears up quick!

What's going on over there? Sounds like a good recipe for getting sued or fined for getting terminated without cause or whatever it's called.

Ahh the mythical crust where the entire woods is like a concrete bowl to ride anywhere with great grip.

That’s some ‘free market’ freedom you’re smelling there. Happens a lot to us in the non-US. VPNs make us freer.

Was able to watch using a NZ connection but curious why they would limit it. Bizarre

Congrats anyways!

 

[Westy]

Cold wet ride. Considering it is February just happy to be able to ride.

 

[jonKranked]

Maple trees tapped. Time for beer and taco making.
