Seat covers finally came yesterday. Fuckers sent the wrong front AND rear seat covers. Fronts were for bucket seats with no headrests, rear was for a 60/40 split bench for a 4dr.
Almost lost my shit.

uhhh....it's a jeep...it's supposed to get trashed.
Oh nos, dueling threads... while seat covers and soda have dramatic potential, I'm gonna check the other thread for murder, oatmeal, poop or coffee.
Mornin!
Insurance cut me a check yesterday. Now it's bicycle time! Pedals came in last night but I best get to riding. Only a month more to prepare for Monarch Crest.

The other thread was only about hot balls so... seat covers and sodas win.
@Adventurous have you selected a replacement bike yet?

You don't need to "prepare" for that... you can do that off the couch. Your preparation should involved building your alcohol tolerance.
Morning! Heat wave is coming 
I am currently averaging 60-70 miles per week but the days are already getting shorter and there's less time for riding after work.

It's my 14th anniversary today. With the thought of all the effed up planes still in the hangar, the choice was obvious.
Stayed up late drinking G&T, slept in, and now were going out for breakfast.
Another SB5. Still convinced that it is the best bike I have ridden in a LONG time.
That bike is so sexy, but I am too old or just too cheap to drop $6500 on a new bike. Especially now that I have Ohio's Redshift SM down to about $6k (after many rebates and selling the current moto). I do need a new trail bike. I will likely never get rid of the RM7 just because RM7. But @41lbs, the rides are limited.
You got married in the puffy shirt?

Home for lunch, it's stupid humid out and yesterday's rain hasn't dried up. That means the road bike tonight.
Pretty decent snow up high yesterday. Should be UBERTACK for tonights ride. 71 degrees and breezy...
Home from work - the commute was terrible, 12 minutes instead of the usual 8.
Trails are not dry so it's 15 miles on the road bike.

KTM? When did this happen?

So... back from my road bike spin where I averaged 14.1 MPH because of fuggin Pokemon... bitches EVERYWHERE with their eyes glued to their phones. WTF people? At least they were outside, I saw more people in the city park today than I ever have before.
They have been dabbling for a few years now. New push is underfoot.KTM? When did this happen?
The niece of my admin has been playing around the office which is fine since she is 12. She found one in my office, I told her it was an unauthorized capture and I wanted it back. She said no.
They appear to be gunning for the dentist market, MSRPs are sky high to drive perceived value before taking large discounts to drive volume. I did not see a lot of value for the money on their website.
Like the old BMW bicycle?
I din't know BMW marketed bicycles.
Got some quality time in the woods this evening. Pedaled up to a trouble spot and cut a fallen tree that was 8-10"dia. and at chest height. Had to cut it once to get it on the ground then again to roll it off trail. Got a freakin workout on that one. Then cut a few smaller trees and brush on the way back to the car. Switched to a lighter pack sans saw and rode a full lap.
Feeling a whole lot less stressed and depressed. This riding once a week is nonsense. Time to get back to 4 or 5 days per week.

Well now you done, best be moving on soon...I guess this is the outcome from the rope to the face incident...
On another note, it is FREAKIN' humid.
rode greenway w/6yo-7 miles out to get to ice cream place. my bike promptly flatted the second we turned around to come home. 7 miles of riding a rear flat. legs are le tired. 6yo killed it though. def his farthest ride, plus it was 92*
Doesn't seem to be stopping anyone..
It did appear as though reading skilz were required. That's a bar higher than I'd be willing climb.
Road bike? I used to keep a saddle bag with a spare tube and cartridge pump on every bike. Since I switched tires on the road bike to Schalwbe Marathon Plus I haven't had a flat in well over 1000 miles. They are a heavy spin but I don't care, time saved fixing flats more than makes up for it.
nope. the uzzi. didn't carry a pack since it was a greenway ride.
just removed tire, cleaned dried sealant off the bead, and reset it. can't figure out why it was losing air. no obvious punctures, etc. dropped wheel on my big toe in the process. beer to the rescue, please!

Back from first rehearsal of the short summer concert season. Didn't die so that's a plus. Also an unexpected plus is that apparently I earned a few hundred $$ in honoraria from playing for them this past year + this summer. I will donate it all to them since it's the right thing to do and makes lots of financial sense what with being tax deductible.
My old boss of 5 weeks got promoted on. Today I met my new boss who gave me an even more obscure set of objectives. All in all I have little to no expectations or fucking anything to do over the next month or two. It is nice being stress free but I fucking hate being bored. Slowly identifying the other mountain bikers on site, need to cherry pick projects to work with them.
Hmm, the MSRP's are a but crazy, but there was one on sale at Performance that had me interested.
Seemed legit for $2500. I need to ride a 27.5, it seems weird to me.
