cool and windy this morning. Hopefully the shit won't hit the fan half as bad as it did at work yesterday.

In the meantime I will take a fuckitall attitude and enjoy my morning espresso. After work I will pick up the Park stand for Mike D

Here. Making cinnamon rolls for the little people this morning. Wifey cleaned the oven over the weekend and I have a feeling that the cinnamon rolls might be the victims. All continued education today.

hello fronds! Another day, another two GMT. I let the algorithm decide who posted first, and the other is the LOSER.

Cycle commuted again. Great way to start the day, although it's currently cold AF and later it's going to get pretty warm, so I have to like wear everything on the way in and pack it all on the way back.

Had a really good phone conversation/screen yesterday with a former "kind-of" manager for a PM role in a small organization. I'm honestly really excited about it, and hope it works out. She dropped some hints that I might be a good fit for it, but it would be a transitional role for me so I can see some hurdles. I suppose we'll find out soon.

Skied open to close yesterday. Way more groomers than I'd like, but that's fine. Non-groomed stuff is hard, icy, and all around unpleasant. It's closing week and this place is dead. Took 26 runs yesterday.

We got a new mexican takeout by my house where the only person that speaks english is the girl at the register and I could not be happier.

Despite the large number of mexicans in my area the mexican food is mediocre as fuck usually

Need to go to a customer site today. It is a “grind shop” making medical components. Their air handling and filtering is so bad that I can feel the oil & coolant mix in the air. It also smells like locker-room on the shop floor. Everything is covered in oil and dust. It’s fucking gross. Good thing they’re making shit to go inside your body…

Eta - hope to ride this afternoon after said visit…assuming my lungs still work.

Mystery solved, Watson.

June. Think of the bees!
I do. I also think of the ticks.

They don't happen to grind very, very small gauge needles, do they?

Haley is presenting her 'interesting person' research report today. She chose Charles LeClerc of F1. They were supposed to make things to present which help associate to the person and dress up as the person. She made a tire/wheel and steering wheel. The dressing up as the person, she will probably win. She's wearing her race suit to show the type of replace suit that drivers wear with team name, sponsors, etc. all over them.

She's gotten much more confident publicly about her racing since the K1 Nationals race. K1 posted on their Instagram pictures yesterday and she's 2/7 of what they posted. I'm really starting to think that they love her from a marketing perspective, which is also helping her confidence. 10/10 worth every dollar to have a confident pre-teen.
