Morning monkeys,

Going to try to link the southern end of the Cloudland Connector trail all the way to Chattanooga. Should be 4.5hrs ish 35+mi less than 3 on pavement and the last 10 are downhill.

Journey from the Clouds.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Somewhat cooler and windy today, hopefully a decent amount of rain tomorrow.

 

[stosh]

Rain here today, I'll be hanging around a partially constructed waste water plant for a liquid egg manufacturer.

Newburg Egg?

 

[stoney]

Work. Contractor painting high ceilings and doing more drywall repair today. Electrician also coming out.

 

[stevew]

rain....all....fucking....week...

 

[eaterofdog]

I have arisen to stumble through another day, detached, disinterested and contemptuous of those around me.

 

[Adventurous]

Yo!

Gonna ride after work today. Another chapter in the Hardtail Chronicles. It's been fun, but I have to say I'm looking forward to being on the big bike again.

Otherwise, helped my FIL dig out an 11' long by 3' deep trench yesterday through the rockiest soil known to man. Couldn't make progress except with a pick-axe. Man was it brutal.

 

[canadmos]

Thought it was raining on the drive home after the ride last night. Nope, just clouds of bugs. Entire front of the car and the windshield and covered in these green thing. Left headlight has a huge splooge spot on it, wonder what that one was?

 

[stosh]

Newburg Egg?

LOL, no but the Catskills were a very prominent Jewish chicken and egg producing area of which Newburg Egg and the facility I'm going to started from. Newburg Egg is just down the road from this one. How did you know about Newburg Egg?

 

[I Are Baboon]

One week to go at this job and since I am leaving, people expect me to work with a sense of urgency to tie up their loose ends and reply to their requests. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I am doing the absolute bare minimum...just enough to make people think I am actually working. I don't care how much shit goes unfinished before I leave.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Fucking birds.

 

[mykel]

So, I rearrange a whole whack of shit this week so I can combine a bunch o errands into a bike ride. Idea was, drive to town, do some shit, drop off crap, go ride bike, pick up fixed crap and go home. Weather forecast is good, so winner.

Get up today, and yup - Wet.
Gonna rain all day, so bike ride is out. (Clay/Sand base)
Can't change my appointment, so now I get to kill several hours with nothing to do and nowhere to go as I am not a Covidiot, I am not going to wonder around stores or go visit friends.

Guess it will be sit in the car in the park and read a book.

Yay!

 

[iRider]

Fucking birds.

No need to share your sexual adventures with us here.

I could think of a lot worse ways to spend a couple of hours.

WELCOME TO NEW ENGLAND MOTHERFUCKER HOPE YOU LIKE ROCKS

seriously though, there's a reason we joke about "east coast rox". also you should be glad it was just rocks. down here in pennsyltucky we have no topsoil to speak of, just rocks and clay.

 

[jonKranked]

they still the word?

Google search for liquid eggs. In the food realm, I have various family connections in the Kingston area, not that that applies...

In theory, version 2004 of Windows 10 was released yesterday. It does not appear to be available for any of my systems yet.

Haha Florida is mostly 3 inches of soil, then 50 feet of sand to the limestone bedrock. I was doing some extralegal septic work and my old ass dug and refilled a 2 foot deep, 50 foot long trench in two hours before sunup. It was just grey water from the washing machine dumping to my yard, so not turds and nasty shit. Someone installed a "grease pit" as the septic guy called it, and they couldn't touch it without tearing out the whole thing. I'm not going to install another $8000 tank and field for 5 loads of laundry per week.

eyeglasses sure have progressed.

 

[jonKranked]

we can't leave fruit unattended in our house. my son just ate an entire pint of raspberries while my wife wasn't looking.

 

[StiHacka]

Did they wake you up at 8:30am again, Gramps?

got drunk on homebrew last night. but now I'm low on homebrew. I feel like this might be a trend.

As far as I know they roll it out in waves, if you're getting updates from Microsoft.

Interesting to see that end of support ends in 2021 for enterprise versions, but the previous version ends in 2022. 1903 was like that too.

I am getting them from Microsoft and they are throttling the release.

My work laptop will get it if I tell it to, my laptop knows nothing.

I'll refrain though as I've already bypassed my corp update policy on this machine and I don't want to stand out - particularly if there's something incompatible post update.

 

[velocipedist]

10 miles of awesome singletrack, in a jurassic feeling forest...

Unfortunately guess my chain was further gone than I thought; after breaking it three times gave up and velocipeded 8ish mi down the road in a pleasant shower and deployed the mobile shed while I waited for a friend to retrieve me.

Next time.....

Morning monkeys,

Going to try to link the southern end of the Cloudland Connector trail ...

that is going to be gross.

So, this is cool. My shop ‘job’ is letting me work as much as I want, but won’t submit the hours until after the Stimulus Unemployment runs out. They are strapped for cash right now, so it’s a win-win.

Loot the corpse, brother. Hungry Hungry Hippos that shit.

Went for a ride. Someone had made some smaller, rollable jumps into gap jumps and extended them. No sign warning of new features (official trails, so normally they are there). Stopping would have been a disaster, so went for it but barely made it over the third jump. Pushed up and did them again and when you know what comes up they are sweet.

On a side note: came to a small drop, 4 XC guys hanging out in front of it blocking the trail, they decided to drop in on the chicken line right before I got there and last guy needed to blow his nose right before clipping in. I stopped and waited for a couple of minutes because virus. WTF is wrong with people? He clearly saw me approaching.
