Finally had a good board meeting yesterday. New finance guy really delivered where the one the I inherited from previous management was useless. Finances looking better and better. Just need to find a fix to pay off loans which is not an easy task.
Really enjoying Singapore. I think more than last time. Me and the girlfriend are really hitting it off too. What is strange is that often working away from the office makes me more productive. Plus kind of cool its 7:30pm and we are sitting outside both working on the laptops and like if you have the whole day you can break up the work day eating some of all the good food in this town.

I don't want to say it, but taking the bus and a couple days off the single speed have done wonders for my lower back. Need to figure out how to make some adjustments to my bike/commute so I can keep this all working. I've really enjoyed taking the bike every day so I hate to have to stop
Huh, wonder what you could change?

Meowdy!
Was hoping for more sleep but I think it’s a bit rare when I slept for nearly 24 hours a day since Monday. Hopefully I am feeling more than 50% today because the trees that need to come down today require respect. We shall see
Oh and I had a semi solid turd for the first time in a week so got that going for me

@Toshi and I would like to formally induct you into the cool kids club of e-bikes. You have permission to enjoy yourself

Forever ago my only bike was 32-13, raced it DH Sunday and rode XC on other days, it was brutal on the upper body.
SS is dumb unless you live somewhere flat and/or have heaps of time to get places.
Child had a nightmare and needed comforting at 3 am. Never really got back to sleep after that. Now I am the one that needs comforting. Or coffee. Or both.
I really need to arrange to get my truck fixed. I keep saying it but not doing it.
Sore back alarm clock at it again. Should probably lay off the ice cream but how else will I get fat ?
Back when I first moved to CO I only brought my Sovereign as a SS, while I looked for a place to live. I think it was 32/15 as a street/dj setup. Anyway, one partial ride (walk?) and I went 32/18, then 32/20, then fuck this and put the derailleur back on. No SS for this guy.
I enjoy buff creek SS and rigid SS, but there's not many other places around here that I'd ride proper trails SS.
30/20 on a 29er when I do it now, versus 32/20 when I used to race 100 milers SS.
even i've moved on. DH bike is 275 and earlier this year i made the jump to 29 for my trail bike. i haven't gotten rid of my 26 stuff though.
To be clear, the single speed is my road bike, and my commute is about as flat as it gets in Colorado Springs. My commute home has just under 300 feet of climbing, all of it in the last mile or so.
Part of it, to be sure. Stem is probably too long, handlebars a bit too low. But the other part is DEFINITELY age/medical history. Like many things, a single solution probably doesn't exist. Bike fit, I can address
got over had hours of dead to the world sleep. I needed it. Doing the final load to the camper after sitting around drinking espresso. Work phone is blocked except for the CEO's line. Off to the Medocino coast in a few for 4 days YAY
With my recent lumbar MRI results. I’m about ready to admit that while I can still ride a bike, I probably won’t and shouldn’t, particularly around this city. I might just put my Kona Unit on the chopping block. I really should sell off my 1Up rack too.

working in the office again today. decided to give a workstation with one of those curved screens a try. they kind of give me a headache. not sure if I will get used to it or not. my blue-blocking anti-glare reading glasses sort of help, but not a lot.
also, I'm pretty sure I've posted this book here before, but this guy is solid, and his process to identify back pain and choose a treatment/rehab plan is top notch: https://www.amazon.ca/s?k=the+back+mechanic+by+stuart+mcgill&hvadid=671373039593&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9000633&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=2520175989588952382&hvtargid=kwd-310757773651&hydadcr=22490_13497871&tag=googcana-20&ref=pd_sl_am2dzlhjf_e

for me, hiking seems to be the absolute best remedy for my lumbar pain. I went to the Adirondacks mid-August for two days with my boy and haven't had to deal with back pain since. it's uncanny. I've discovered my biggest trigger is being sedentary... not moving, whether it's sitting at my desk (or standing for that matter), lying on the couch or in bed... it all leads to back pain. so moving is necessary. biking is good. skate skiing is better. hiking is best... now if only I could get my foot pain sorted so I can get back out there again (have physio tomorrow).

Morning Monkeys.
Birthday dinner tonight with the boy and his brood, so that will be nice. We are supposed to have frozen the code on Monday and it is still mostly liquid, so that's no good.
As some of you know, my birthday is kinda shitty with dad being gone and my daughter not talking to me (we have the same birthday). But it helps to feel some love from total strangers.

Hopefully you treated yourself to something.

@Pesqueeb as uncool as they are, a thudbuster helped my lower back issues when bike commuting. High pressure tires, rigid frame and generally seated riding position (I assume) mean more “stress” on the back.
Right now I am waiting for my ride after dropping off the work truck at the mechanic. Had them do a bunch of work this summer so the truck would be tiptop for harvest. Brand new throw out bearing started howling on the first day of harvest. They are gonna try to R&R it and get it back to me by end of business today.

Here. Up at 530am and working early. Glad I did because a client oops'ed and transfered a large amount of money to us by accident. I was able to catch it before things got reallocated and taxes ensued.
Also Wifey's bday today.

Traditionally known as the 'llama farm', there are now only alpacas, although it's still known by both names, depending on who you ask. A very special place that's given a lot to a lot of people, I feel very lucky to have stayed there, and very inspired to take that spirit of kindness and generosity with me out into the world. #bikepacking #dailyinspiration #greatdividemountainbikeroute #bikepackinglife #dirtbag #hikinglife #cdt #gdmbr #travelinspiration #cyclinglifestyle #inspiredaily #inspire"
