A few hours of punishment to be followed by a pretty busy day.

Mornin!

Wife's birthday went off without a hitch, minus her lighting her hair on fire when attempting to blow out the candles. At least not much got singed/burned off. Oopsies!

Good morning, lovelies. I skipped a morning run and/or swim and slept in because I am a lazy sack of shit. I'll sneak out for a yog between meetings this morning. I am mountain biking tonight, believe it or not.

ETA: It feels like Crazy Town at this new job because the new boss actually e-mails the group and tells us to get outside for an hour during the day to enjoy the nice weather.

Busy day ahead. Really need the espresso to kick me into gear. At least I got all the camper /truck stuff done yesterday which just leaves me mowing the front yard this afternoon. I should have a clean slate for not having to do anything but play this weekend

one more day to freebies?
Everything but the workbench/radial saw and a large metal cabinet (which I can't clearly identify) are gone. It's all still covered, so I'm pretty sure the ex showed up. The drawers for the workbench are gone too, so I wouldn't be surprised if he's coming back for a second load. So be it if that's what happens. @AngryMetalsmith and @Adventurous are making me second guess having a RAS in the garage anyways. I found a really good plan for a workbench with a built in dust collection unit that I would just need to add some drawers to for what I want.

So I had a Moth between the screen and the window. It was one of those big moths that fly around the streetlights. Well the Cat became aware of it and in a effort to get said Moth. She started running into the window. Very loud and scary as I thought in her rage she would break the window. Mind you its like 3:30 am. I opened the window and the Moth gets out. The Cat goes fucking Nuts chasing the Moth. In a leap she swats the Moth out of the air and in a gymnastic gravity defying maneuver she lands on the Moth. Kills it. And starts chomping on it. Loud crunching noises later she leaves the dead, chewed Moth on the Kitchen floor.

Euro trip in full swing. First big stop was Chamonix which was spectacular and we are now in Spain north of Barcelona full escape from cold Danish summer this year. I choose not to bring the bike this time and focus on having fun together with the family and not regretting it as I have done tons of riding this year but scoping out the options for next year like where to go for good riding and what kind of bike to ride (mtb is of course the right answer).

Bikes don't stay on racks unless you can see them at all times or there is a New York holding it the the rack. This shouldn't be a hard concept.

This being one reason I detest hitch racks.
Versus having a very large boxy vehicle and tossing it inside? That's not always an option.

I don't trust the built in cable locks on the hitch racks (or any rack) for anything, though. See @Adventurous 's mishap. If it's out of my sight it has a thick, separate cable lock on it.

Yea, never again.

Though if I do Ill just put an alligator clip on one end of the cable connected to the positive terminal of the battery. Let the potential thief ride the lightning first.
