Well done, next stop, South Pole.re halfway there: are we living on a prayer?
you're welcome for the earworm
have I mentioned that I am a vegan CrossFitter
I "rode" in. 30 Freedoms! but with proper gear was fairly cozy. Hood up under helmet to keep those ears from getting chilled in the 27 mph relative velocity wind.,
<: 1/2 way there gmt :>

Hello monkeys! First night ride of the season last night. 42 degrees and not windy. I over dressed in wind stopper gear and was sloppy wet afterwards. I rode the Yeti with new front rubber, 2.6 Minion DHF up front, I swapped out the SS for a 2.3 DHR II in the rear. Not sure I like the DHR II as a rear tire, previously I've used them as a front tire with a an SS in the rear on both the Yeti and GT, that I like. I tried 19psi up front, 23 in back just about right unless you have to pedal... it's still an effin' pig... although much improved over the pair of 2.3 e13s they replaced.
Today begins an adventure in urology due to BPH progressing into cT2a. The wait and see period is over and I need to make decisions. My progression is identical to my father's. He went through 10 years of pills and cancer treatments before a radical prostatectomy in his mid 60s. He did flomax until the cancer had to be addressed. He hated it. His advice is cialis as long as I can and then complete removal because then it's done, no more worry no more questions. He did mechanical & laser roto-rooting, pellets in the prostate and a couple of other things. Everything worked for a time but the constant state of treatment / recovery / remission dominated his life for years. It's rare to die from prostate cancer which is basically 100% survivable, it's the potential loss of function that's freaking me out.

in significantly lighter news, my cats are peeing outside their litterbox, in a tent a floor above where their litterbox is. We removed the tent and cleaned the floor. They peed on the bare floor. I'll try cleaning it with some urine-away junk, but what can I do to prevent them going into the area? I've read oranges/citrus and aluminum foil. Anything else?
I got thisI promised myself to never say " I told you so " to a Sprinter owner.
@johnbryanpeters
Jozz told you so!
Are the boxes clean?
Well, maybe, but I don't think getting high will help my cats.
I think they weren't, which is probably why they found the tent. Now they are though.
It’s been 42 degrees here forever. Light packable nylon shell or light rain shell with pit zips and ability to pull sleeves up. Base later underneath. Pants are chamois, either leg base layer or your favorite spandex print, shorts OR some XC ski pants instead of the base later and shorts. This sets me up well. I always take an extra layer though in my kidwoo-purse, like another lightweight rain shell jacket and dry gloves.
But it might!
Sending my best your way @Serial Midget, I hope it all works out for the best.
If my cat was doing that, I'd try it.
Damn gas pump didn't click off when my tank filled tonight, ending up pumping a few liters out onto the ground and on one of my shoes, God dammit. Gas is too expensive for that nonsense.
Back into the season of leaf surfing on trails, which is awesome. And finding trails that are wet and have been raked or leaf blown, which now have fresh ruts and whatever. Just leave the leafs alone man!!!

We don't get many leaves around here. Yesterday I was moving at a fairly rapid rate down a well known trail with some pretty tacky conditions to find myself in a set of blind corners with a thick layer of wet leaves. Code brown for sure, thankfully I am experienced in the art of leaf surfing., I certainly wasn't expecting it though.
what's a leaf?
that's like a canadian basketball team yeah?

It's like kale
the stuff yoga pants eat?
My truck tires are fucking heavy and are a real bitch to lift and center onto the the wheel studs. And with Duallys you get to repeat the process an extra 2 times. Ibuprofen helps afterwards...well not really
Yes and a week long binge of Ronnie Reagan Iran Contra CIA coke 8 balls almost killed me ($60/ 8ball of uncut coke) Fuck that shit
When I first started going to Perú, pure coke was $8.00 a gram.
I never partook.

dafuq is wrong with you?
that would have been the cheapest $8k 24 hours you would have ever experienced!
damn man. you really are missing out on the east coast magic. leaf surfing is my favorite season of the year. all the chunk and ledges and bombed-out water holes that made you shit your pants in the spring and summer just disappear as you trust your bike, let all your feels go, and flow over them. it's LE BEST.
well, perhaps even better with pam and cocaine. i dunno. to each their own.
Well, it probably would have cost me my marriage, so there’s that.
um
we have leaves here
and other things that fill holes when they fall out of the sky
It was a joke
I was really hoping the yoga pants muching kale part would have gotten more traction but that's just how art works: you can put it out there but you can't control what the world does with it
has she tried cocaine?
dude, we've got like 20" of rain in the forecast right now on 7 historical sized fires 
shit's about to get messy
beyond 'trail holes' filling in, I think the california central valley is about to get filled in
