Hey gang. Had a massive bowel movement this morning. I was initially intimidated but now I’m proud.
Off to work.

Haley's helmet is becoming a reality. Checks from the first 2 set s of grandparents have arrived and MIL1 will give me a check whenever I ask for one. Order time is 6 weeks currently, so end of April is when it goes in.
Edit: They just updated to 8 weeks. I ordered it.

Sold some shop tools yesterday. Have a guy salivating for a jointer and planer. Hopefully those will depart next weekend. Endless piles of crap remain to be liquidated.
Madelyn woke up with a fever and projectile vomit. So I’ve got that going for me.
Thankfully I just started a decent book, should help with all day Disney movies.

The New Soon® apparently arrives on Thursday, I get to have a My First Colonoscopy (by Playskool™) on Wednesday so hopefully I'm feeling well enough by Thursday to take it out for a spin. Oh, and that's assuming the snow we got in town last night is gone enough to ride the gosh dang thing somewhere. That said it is a mother's favorite gravel bike, the roads should be dry enough for a test ride at least. Just might not be able to take it on dirt is all.
The old "gravel" bike (more of a multi-surface adventure touring road bike but that's splitting hairs) may well fit the SIL's boyfriend, and he has also been gravel curious. So she took it home with her after her visit this weekend to see if it'll work for him. That would be about the easiest goll dern bike sale I've ever made.

Same, girl. Same. You don't need a whitewater kayak, do ya?
Happy birthday @SkaredShtles, ya wanker. Here's to another year of not being on the cart!

It doesn’t work right out of the box and you don’t get that one “single use tool” experience.

said fuck it to the alarm and slept in an extra hour for the win. Getting my teeth cleaned after work oh joy.

I "intentionally" an N+1 gravel yesterday so FT and I are twinsies, except I had my colonoscopy last year and still can't think about drinking Gatorade..
Some of the components are low end but the crabon frame seems nice, and the price was right relative to local options.
Now I just wait for Yellowstone roads to melt out -- soon...

Hired a mechanic to check cars I'm looking at for me. Ffs it's annoying to live in Eastern Europe since our market is flooded with cars the west didn't want. Our mechanics are also lazy AF so even cars that are decent get shoddy work.
Good thing is the guy I paid is good. He gets really grumpy when cars are fixed wrong and have dumb modern overcomplicated shit that brakes. Basically Car Gary. Still. This will take time. Which is annoying. Hoped to get a good wagon this month but this will take 1-2 months still unless I want to overpay.

Ah yeah, I was thinking about mixing up Skratch labs as my electrolyte drink of choice but now I am reconsidering. I'd like to still like it after whaterver is about to happen to me tomorrow during prep.
Congo rats on the new N+1!
Happy Birthday, @SkaredShtles !
Good morning and Happy Monday to the rest of you. WFH day. Wife went to the office and Doggo is at daycare. The house is quiet. I don't like it.

Hbd SS !
Finishing up the playset build with the old man today. Gotta finish up a few odds and ends then hoist the 14ft main beam into place.
Shit, I'm salivating for a jointer and planer too. Just have neither the space nor money.

HFBD @SkaredShtles. I hope you day is full of setting on groomers taking selfies.
Updating or just selling?

I love that place. Some stuff is junk, but I’ve had really good luck with most stuff.
That sounds like a quitter. Be a true American and put that shit on your credit card.
Happy Birfday skittleshits!
Rode for hours in the dark. Not using my light slowed down forward momentum but was fun fun.

2 months of car payments and a mortgage. I don't need any more debt.
I guess that makes me un-American and a quitter. Both are probably true.
I just got my teef cleaned. We should hang out.
I just got a text from another dad saying that he talked to the dad we ran into on Saturday.
"He said they ran into you over the weekend at the track and that Haley's gotten a lot faster. What have you guys been up to this winter? I thought FDM didn't have motors until Feb? Didn't you sell your 206 [old motor] to Anthony last year?"
"We've been doing winter training and races with FDM in AZ all winter."
"Oh. Are you under tent this year?"
"Yep. Full team driver now."
"Oh. I guess we'll see you a RYRO." [race in 3 weeks]
