well fuck, burr grinder clogged up on me this morning. wasted 30 minutes cleaning it. Finally had to use a fish wire to clean the passage between the grinding area and the receptacle. But after all that I was able to grind my beans and make espresso.

Out the door in a few

:wave:

Borrowed trailer to return borrowed tractor. Discovered halfway through my journey that the tags on the trailer were expired and the lights didn't work. Then had to back it up in the dark, which was comedic.

Back to work and shall hopefully lay low and get all caught up, especially cause it's bullshit performance review time. :rolleyes:

Going to turn it off and on again and hope it comes back.
Something with bikes I assume.
I do have a long list of service tasks for the fleet. But it's too cold in the garage for doing fork rebuilds and definitely about six months until the DH bikes are needed and probably a couple of months until the GG's are.

Did a little weight training this morning. It's been a while. Snow is starting to show up on milk cartons around here.

Might ride, or not.

Coworker messages me just now: "hey I'm back in Toronto but can't make it to work today, i'll check my emails and stuff".
Me: "ok no problem - I'll need you to follow-up with the junior guy about the status of this new person's account and stuff, who is starting today".
Coworker: "I'm still at the airport"


bro. You're supposed to be back at work today, what kind of planning did you do, that you arrive back here when you're supposed to be at work?

This is same guy who shows up at like 9:30am for work.... Not that I care really, but its a little scammy to also leave early when you show up so late.

Morning Monkeys.

I can relate to the general vibe this AM. I am not looking forward to opening my outlook this morning. Been off for almost 2 weeks and it was really nice.

FTS indeed.

Only 127 emails, guess I should be happy..95% will be build server notices, I really should set up a rule to filter those.

What are the odds the county will let me put up a used pole barn on my property? When I go to the planning office, they're going to want a site plan. And if I show them a site plan they'll want to see engineered drawings to go with it. Chances are, if they see engineered drawings they'll find an application with a hefty fee attached to it.

I'd be skiing waist deep powder if there was any around to be found. :mad:

Still better than working or not skiing.
I'd argue that the shit East Coast ice I experienced at Crystal was an inferior experience as compared to a day of not skiing

Just tell them you need it to house your bulldozer and depending upon how they answer, it may or may not require "modifications".

I think a permit for an “agricultural building” isn’t much more than a rubber stamp in most rural areas out here… the problem is when you try to later convert it to some other kind of building…
