I know summer is winding down when my allergies keep me up. So early start = early finish.

Made brats on the grill with peppers and onions last night. Drool.

Remaining part for the hardtail should arrive Wednesday. Finish that up and shake down Thursday.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Let's see.

Start replacement of trailer tongue jack.

Build front wheel if Tim has the spokes.

Probably mow some lawn.

 

[Pesqueeb]

I too am battling teh allergies. Fuck-it Friday is in full effect, and the struggle is real.

 

[Greyhound]

Good Morning!!

It's a raining cats and dogs....I just got my shoes wet stepping into a poodle. ***groan***

Big fat goose egg on fishing this past weekend. Heavy, heavy NE wind made the river into an ocean....if I stand still, I can still feel it - like phantom limb, only phantom boat.

Let's go get at 'em on Tuesday. Bear down on it - like a stubborn turd.

School is back in session for the kid. Now it is back to having a bit more of a rigid life schedule, but that isn't necessarily that bad of a thing.

Ordered a Bike Yoke 160mm dropper yesterday. Done with Reverbs.

Ordered a Bike Yoke 160mm dropper yesterday.

I measured for the 160 and it was about 10mm too long with my current setup and legs.
I'll be curious to hear your thoughts on that post after you have it a while.

Looking into getting one more bike. Now that I have the space I need mooooorrrreeee.

 

[Adventurous]

Mornin!

Packing our crap so we can hit the road tomorrow. It'll be nice to just have a week alone without the dogs, especially given our National Park destinations. Shame they don't really allow dogs, though I can certainly understand why not.

 

[roflbox]

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Tuesday Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[I Are Baboon]

Last I checked it was Tuesday and why the hell not!? 2400 yard masters swim before work. I felt unusually good during said swim...must have been the good night of sleep and awesome morning dump.

Bike workout tonight:

Is that the story you are sticking to when you go to your boss? I would say it was stolen then you pass on the guilt. Maybe blame a one armed man.

yeah, man. life.
I cant wait to write my memoir.

Fun ride on the donkey bike last night. But damn, it sure is starting to get dark early now.

Got a phone call from Transition yesterday. Waiting for the follow-up. I'm excited.

I guess I should also call the doctor to follow-up on my orthopedist appointment. Approaching the end of week 8 and still have not even received a confirmed appointment for a referral for my shoulder separation.

Mornings like this, when my alarm goes off but I don't need to jump out of bed to pee, I just can't get out of bed. I don't care what the commute will be like, or if I'll be late to work, or if I'm hungry. These rare mornings are awesomely lazy.

 

[6thElement]

Day two of being back at work after last weeks staycation and high alpine riding.

I'd like to win the lottery now please.

I finally got an appointment for a hand surgeon this morning. I basically live between two large hospitals. When I tried to make an appointment I would get the run around and end up with someone's voicemail who has yet to call back. Managed to find a private practice in Kirkland that would actually answer the phone and setup an appointment.

I see so many great old school bikes around town. I think old Y bikes come here to die.

Morning Monkeys.

Yesterday I turned off my alarm and got an additional hour sleep since I get in the office almost 2 hours before anyone else and the parking lot has been full by 6am (used to be 7, but they closed 2 other lots). Parked on the street and felt good about it. Today I did the same thing and I feel way better. Street parking is about $2 more and I have to feed the meter at 1 (5 hour spot), but the extra sleep is nice. I have a bus pass next 2 months to save for new bike this winter.

I have told myself that if Abbey and I ride the big bike enough, I can get a new bike (or at least a new frame/fork) that is more trail appropriate. She gases pretty early but has insane recovery. If I can get her to ride for a couple hours each weekend, I think by Spring she will be ready for some solid rides. #doggoals

My buddy posted this conversation with his daughter (has white GTR PowerWheels car) on Facebook:

Audrey: What's the name of your GTR daddy?
Me: Sylvie, cuz she's silver. What's your GTR's name?
Audrey: Whitey.

Hi all. I cracked the stanchions on a Bomber much like that one above many years back. Good times.

Yet another reason why Montana... also - good morning Monkies!

 

[DirtyMike]

Morning. Life is better after a day of good sleep and knowing I do go back to work till Sunday night. Ride with little man in the trailer today, hunting setup Friday, opening day in the tree Saturday. Then two days of work and taking ten off for elk hunting/ backwoods hiking in the crazy mtns. It is entirely possible that many days of elk hunting will start and finish with a five plus mile ride in with all my gear......

 

[Wingnut]

Today is going to be rough..

Woke up, no coffee in the house.

Went to drive-thru, out of my blend.

Things are slowly spiraling out of control....

 

[rideit]

I have lost ten pounds since getting my new Mt. Bike.
Happy with that.

 

[rockofullr]

Successfully rebuilt the 2009 Pike last night. That means I can keep sending it on the dirt jumper without buying a new fork!!

I would like to mention that wearing latex gloves in 100deg heat causes my hands to turn into swimming pools/waterfalls. Went through a whole pile of gloves and my fingers were pruned by the time I was done

 

[slyfink]

Today was the first day of school. It's a brand new school, so my kids didn't know anyone - not the kids, not the teachers. It was a little nerve wracking, but we made it there, and the parents we met seemed nice, as were their kids. Teacher seems a little spaced-out and mellow, but for a grade 2 teacher that's probably a good trait. We brought our youngest to meet the jr-kindergarten teacher at 1:30. He seemed to like her, and the space, so that's another good thing. with the graduated entrance schedule, he only gets a half day on Friday morning. we'll see how that goes.

work is pretty full-on so biking back and forth to school has been time-consuming and tiring. I actually had my lunch while biking to the 1:30 appointment.

I am tired already.
