Root here is well respected as it should be. But it is also guarded as "this is my job, nobody else has my power" ego trip. Since I am not officially a part of development or support, there isn't a HUGE need for me to have global rights. Part of me would like to have them because it does make things easier, but it also adds a layer of responsibility that I would rather not have.I chuckled cause it's the truth. Then the sad came and wouldn't go away.
i guess that works too
Not related to anything, but @jonKranked has some savage friends. If you're a FB friend you should know what I'm referencing. Vicious.
lol which one are you referring to?
Old guy at USPS.
Isn't that IH8Rice?
oh yes. Frame is hysterical like that. He's actually an awesome dude, but sometimes he forgets to filter and his brain goes on autopilot and out comes the most ruthless shit. might be a few older folks here that remember Draco bikes, he was the dude behind that. runs a high end euro tuner / fab shop now.
this is a different one. he's just angry
remember ye olde falcon punch?
With a steamer on your fist? The ole insult to injury approach.
Que?
A manager at another area at work wants me to go work for him. This would require actual work vs the bullshit PowerPoint job I have now. Have to get permission from current boss to move. She is unlikely to approve.
No work politics for me today since I am off. 90 minutes on the treadmill alternating 5 minute intervals between an 18 and 12 minute pace, 60 minutes on the eliptical trainer and 4 laps in the pool. According to the trackers that was 1400 calories. The short swim at the end is the hardest part for me.
Going to drop by the LBS to see what fat bike options they have access to.

if they're a bike shop, they probably have an account with QBP, which means they can get you Surly at the very least.
Trying to unwind damage done by a long-gone knucklehead. Nothing like feces forensics.
If that's the case, can't you just "quit" and then have the new manager hire you on for his open position?
My chest hurts even worse today when it should be healing because I WANNA RIDE MY FREAKIN BIKE IN THE WOODS.
Apparently throwing hammers is not good for pulled muscles, Aaaaaaaaaaagghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to demo a 2017 Specialized Carbon comp this afternoon before it gets sent back. It has 4 inch tires...
Well played.
Basic premise is old guy cuts in line ahead of him. Tells him he cut in line. Counter lady says he cut in line. Dude's old loudresponse: "It's okay, his time is limited".
Savage.
I lol'd when I read that.
Spent some time fussing with updates on a few desktops at home.
Went out and cut down a bunch of buckthorn. Fell on my ass a few times dragging it across some ice.
Prepared and ate lunch.

Are desktops the new microwaves? I can't keep up with you kids and your trends.
Hilarie has a desktop, I have one, and there's one that lives at the camp in the summertime. Plus, there's a laptop for travel.
Today was general check logs and update whatever applications don't update themselves.
Went out and rode the horrible slow ugly seasonal evil fatbike on some of my trails and had fun doing so.
Test rode a Specialized Fat Boy today and just didn't have fun. Granted the conditions were not ideal but I also brought my hardtail out to compare. The Fatboy was a bouncy house at speed on hard pack snow and patchy snow, my hardtail had no issues with either except the tire packed with snow and flew off in big chunks. My verdict is undecided. Not ready to buy.
Solution for snow rides this winter is an additional set of wheels. I'm going to pop for crabon rims and put studded Nokians on my current wheelset. Total cost is $1,200 for the built wheels, cassette, rotors and snow tires. I should be able to ride by the first week of January.
Chose Giant because warranty and past customer service. https://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/trx-1-27dot5-carbon-trail

If the tires were super bouncy, I suspect the tire pressure was off (likely too high?). Because of the high tire volume they are more finicky about pressure, even as little as half a psi can be noticeable
Super bouncy is how I would put it, we went down from 11 to 9, pedaling back up the hill was noticeably more difficult at the lower PSI. I'm not ready to full on nerd a fatty. Montana rider has a fat bike I might try this winter in an area where fat tires should be useful.
