Yerp, back to work on camp roof...
Got a solid, heavy, wet, foot of Chinese conspiracy to overthrow western style capitalism in my hood last night and it is still coming down. Plows are out clearing the runway. On May 21st. Gonna have a shit ton of yard work to do when it all melts.
Trampoline installed and test. Enough digging for a little while.
I am here! Great drive in. Lack of traffic makes the annoy car sing. Hooray!
managed to get the kids to school on time for their end of grade test day despite traffic working against me. gotta talk to an old lady about some pricey paintings in a little while.
and so it goes.
and so it goes.
miserable night. Right Quad decided that it was the perfect night to have massive painful cramps every two hours 
coffee then out the door...at least I have a really light work schedule today

Just a couple inches here. No broken shit that I can see, thankfully.

Goddamn work. Been here 30 minutes and now have a work headache. I don't mind doing work that people need me to do because that is the nature of my job, but they can't just fucking tell me what they need done without confusing the hell out of me. I mean, it's not difficult. I do payroll. Give me a list of people and tell me what you want me to pay them.
This. I turned all work email completely off on my phone and ignored any calls coming in during my week off. Whatever happened last week, I don't care, it isn't my problem. And its getting pretty annoying coming back to my office every time that I take time off to a mess. At least have the decency to plug my mouse back in and toss out the trash...
Anyways.... Holy fuck was the last day and a bit of the trip a total crapshoot. We finished on Sunday with a great mellow paced ride and then...
- Raystown area got hit with a massive rain/wind storm on Sunday afternoon. Myself and the other guy who was camping with me were over on the 7 Points side when it hit. Monsoon rain... But then when went back to our site later, we discovered that that area was hammered much harder. Buddies tent collapsed, our chairs were gone, one of the beer empty bags fucking exploded. The rain was falling so hard that it kicked up dirt onto the picnic bench. Our site got destroyed...
- Later that same night after we cleaned up and went to bed. Someone comes walking down into our area (keep in mind DirtFest is over and 99% of people are gone...) around 11pm-12am with no lights and is clearly drunk as hell or high. We have no clue where he came from or what he was up to, but after telling him to basically get the hell out of here he just said "oh so that's how it is..." and disappears into the night... wtf? If you know the area, our campsite was at the very end of the tip of the Susquehannock camp area. Its a long walk from anywhere..
- About an hour after creeper leaves, I'm laying there awake and can't sleep. A big ass tree then falls down over the site up from us. It sounded like it hit close to our cars. After the previous events that night, buddy and I just said whatever and didn't even bother going to make sure that the tree didn't hit the cars.
- On the way back home yesterday on one of the steep mountain roads in PA, we were coming down one and found a gravel hauler truck had flipped over and slid down the road, coming to a rest against the guardrail. The trucks coming up the hill were LUCKY they didn't get steamrolled off the hill. Luckily it had just happened as we pulled up, so were able to roll by slowly before the traffic became a clusterfuck. The engine bay was starting to smoke when we went past it...
Found this guy crawling up the bank on our campsite yesterday morning.
Until next time...

The locals driving through Rothrock on the gravel road are a little loco. The speeds they were going...and not even slowing down when approaching from the opposite direction. But pucker factor was high in spots.
Also no one waves??

Spent the night all alone amongst the snowy mountains of Oregon. Winning!
Have a picture of a shooting star over Half Dome in Yosemite. Caught this through dumb luck.

Working on a $7m house in the city. Owner lives in UK so his US entourage is managing the project with the GC, who hired us. Way too many cooks in the kitchen and it was getting out of hand.
Sat the project manager down this morning and slapped him around until expectations were crystal clear. FTS reduced to level 5 baseline again.

with or without baby powder?
It looked like a more trustworthy area than the school bus on stilts that @jstuhlman had us ride by in Pisgah.
I've always found everyone to be super friendly down there. Only dick grumpy guy this year was the dude working solo at the beer distributer store in state college. Pretty much threw a hissy fit when he couldn't find the birthdate on my drivers license and had to look it up in a book.
Also yall, what in the fuck is up with being able to swipe a credit card or debit card without any sort of pin verification? Scary shit mang.

there’s DEFINITELY meth being made at that compound...and i REALLY don’t want to know what’s in that storage unit!It looked like a more trustworthy area than the school bus on stilts that @jstuhlman had us ride by in Pisgah.
no pin for credit. some debit cards allow you to process as credit.
Don't tread on me bro.
Courtesy of our credit bureaus, the social security numbers of the majority of Americans is free for the taking. And they didn't even really apologize or offer to do anything about it.
Entering a PIN for credit transactions is the least of our worries.
Effing bay area drivers. Add some light rain and they turn the roads into a total shit show. Livermore to oakland is 35 miles. It took over 2 hours due to all the crashes
ALL HAIL THE LIZARD KING
God Dammit. I’m gonna be in CO in three weeks with a bike. Not god damn skis. Make that shit go away already it’s almost Memorial Day.

It will be totally fine in 3 weeks, I wouldn't worry.
Or not. Who the fuck knows any more?
Where you headed?
