Making moss sad in New Haven, Vermont
Carted a bed from the second floor to the first, then into the van, then into the place that Hilarie's staying, put it together, disassembled the old bed, carted it out, took it for disposal.

Legal paperwork with probate court regarding required annual reporting.

Late lunch - fried eggs with french fries and spam and a Cone Head.

Sky is grumbling, waiting for downpour.

Not much action today. Gym time and got my front wheel dropped for rim replacement after it was vandalized. Parents are paying for it.

Still no job and now everybody is going on vacation so we are heading off to Lake Annecy in France on Thursday and then Spain. Getting the last juice out of the company car and gas.

Not sure if I should bring bike but its right at the foot of the Alps. Last year I tried to meet up with world famous @buckoW just to get an autograph :-)

Hallo ppls

RNO-DEN this afternoon. Hopefully no overweight bag charges this time around—dinged for $100 on way out. My wife is a wonderful person in many ways but has no idea how to pack lightly. Books and toiletries and games for the kids galore.

Rav4 shit the bed. I hit a pothole. Swung the on ramp pretty fast. Loud bang. ABS and traction control kick in. I did a 180 against the wall. Did not strike the wall. But had to climb out the passenger side. State cop was 2 cars behind me. He was a dick. Tow truck driver seemed to know him. The Sheriff that helped the tow truck driver and took the report was cool. Lower control arm rotted out. Just the parts alone exceed the value of it. The labor part is insane. 8 years of reliable transportation for 14 grand. Pretty much brakes, tires, and oil changes. It owes me nothing. 158K on the L4 motor. Guy from Findley OH is coming here to buy it for salvage.

You missed ole cleeter mcskeeter up there. Check out this jet boat:


Those little jet boats look like a blast. If I win the lottery on Wednesday, I'd for sure put my name on one :busted:

Wonder what sort of G-forces the hull/fixed parts would see as you take those short sharp impacts?
I don't really know much about oils but I wonder if it would be violent enough to remove/reduce the film at the main or big end bearings?

Did I miss something?

You sure did miss something. We did a garden tour in the hood. My garden was last stop. Mostly adults but also some kids. I had left a window open to the basement where my bike room is. Then three girls went behind the house and started throwing rocks through the window. I have rocks along that side of the house for drain. Big grown man hand size rocks. They ended up breaking 3 tiles 100x100cm tiles and also put a dent in my carbon rim on my Control SL wheelset as front wheel was sticking out. +15 rocks went through the window. I was in shock. Parents are paying for all repairs they have promised but it all still sucks.
