But then I have to stand in the parking lot, sweating BALLS, before I can drive away.

I would have viewed it as an opportunity when my kids were 7, 6, and 4.
One of my HS buddies had some ski "goggles" that were like that. Holy shit did he look like a complete tool wearing those things...
howdy all
I was traffic this morning coming down from the mountains. actually not much traffic save for past Idaho Springs towards the Veterans Memorial Tunnel where they closed a lane. recycle run and Costco mini run (SUP return, muffins + apple strudel at kids' request) accomplished.
I have a cardiology appointment at 3 and then am working 4 - 10 PM from home. I have a feeling I won't be back home by 4. and that'll be ok.

Got debit card cancelled and a new one issued. Mystery charge will be reversed, according to the CS representative. Kinda glad I caught it before they tried to empty my bank account.Mystery debit transaction from the bank account to Amazon Prime.
That's a good way to start my Thursday.
Strange part is that I've only used that debit card 3 times in the last 10 years.

Hello, again.
Beach was beached. Kids did awesome. I want to be a stay at home dad not a work at work jerk.

Why are you using debit online?Got debit card cancelled and a new one issued. Mystery charge will be reversed, according to the CS representative. Kinda glad I caught it before they tried to empty my bank account.

I've never used it online. Once at Winco in Montana (no CC's accepted there), once at a grocery store in Wengen, CH (CC wouldn't work for some reason), and one to pay passport fees at the passport office.
Oh the dirtbag used it on amazon. I read it wrong
Yep - it's primarily an ATM card (and really hardly used for that any more either) - but the bank doesn't issue "ATM-only" cards any more.
Couple hours of riding the dunes, The idiots are starting to show up for takeover, and the weekend, guess I will switch into boat/crabbing mode for the next week.

Which sucks.
Looks like we're going to get skunked on riding in Minnesota on the way through tomorrow. That means a deliberate trip required in the future.
Just ride anyways
Wife had to be convinced to ride today, not going to get away with it with t-storms.Just ride anyways
Going to blame @4xBoy i think this is his neck of the woods.
You're not wrong.

Nobody was riding it yesterday.Rode teh Unridabru bike from Casa de Squeeb to and then up Cheyenne Canyon to do the Buckhorn/Jacks/Chutes loop.
Earlier this week the city opened two "new" trails in the canyon. I use quotes because one of the trails, Captain Morgans has existed for years as a "social trail". Morgans was always a bit rowdy for my tastes unless condition were really good. I haven't ridden the new erosion friendly version yet, but I did ride under where the city built a pretty robust bridge and drop across the other new trail, which is just an extension across Gold Camp road of Ladders. Not sure I understand what the point of the Ladders extension was, except to possibly get riders off of Gold Camp, which can be kind of a dicey ride in the summer, especially in the one lane tunnels. Definitely more climbing on Ladders, it only goes over tunnel 1, and then drops you way back down below the road to connect with Mid Columbine trail where you'd just have to reclimb back up to the Gold Camp parking lot. Seems like a lot of work and money spent to accomplish ????? The other questionable thing it does is cross Jacks at one of the fastest descents on Jacks, with not a lot of visibility. Someone will inevitably get hurt in that intersection.
Ya know, you can hike during thunderstorms.
Freaking longest day of the year and the goods are still muddy and snowy, I really need to move to an equatorial mountain range...
Last one on the river put-in at 6:20 (calm before the weekend storm) on the longest day of the year I should be good to ride my bike back to the car in the light til 10:00
We had a really late freeze last June which killed all the mosquitoes so I think they remembered that and are pissed off mother fucking blood suckers

Yeah, my hood.
Heard Gooseberry falls is max flow right now, but not my problem, I'm in Tucson.
I got the Bridgestone back. It was not pretty. But she is in my possession tonight. Pretty happy right now. Time pedals for the win.
Trying to solder up some components for a job tomorrow. Going to do a bit of traveling, down to Hood River and then back through Grandview and Sunnyside.
Cherry harvest is full tilt. I'm going to try and snag a bucket of those suckers at a warehouse.
Pulled the trigger on a Ford Maverick today. All gas awd XL trim w/ 4k tow package. They had to find it in Oregon. I can't wait to get out of the f150 and into something smaller.

Tonight’s 20th anniversary dinner/date here in Sun Valley was a smashing success. We have had some tough times, but always seem to work it out. I’m hopeful for the future.
Yeah this little truck should be light years ahead of the f150 in the role it's needed. I'll find a canopy for it. No more sleeping in the back of my truck during road trips.
OK, how did you get it back, or does that best remain unsaid?
statute of limitations perhaps?
Friend found it on Facebook marketplace. He went and took it for a test ride me. He reported back to me, and I called the Sheriff. I staked out the joint and watched the recovery and arrest. Took possession in her driveway. Mother of 4 and a Nurse at the Local Hospital. Kids watched their mom get arrested. Only charged with possession of stolen property and possession of a Controlled Substance. The Boyfriend tried to Bribe the cop and me. The add from Facebook was deleted before the Deputy could make a copy. It doesn't matter.
