Yeah, I waited about 4 weeks before trying to ride again. First ride went OK. I didn’t really think I was pushing it yesterday, but the knee noped out on me.
I keep wondering if I really need to back off a little. At 52 it’s not the high consequence hard riding (relatively speaking, of course) that is the problem, but my body just can’t cash the check so to speak when I crash. Shit that I’d “walk off” in the past, makes me wonder if I need a gravel bike now.
Maybe too much reefer, apparently.I can't, for the life of me, figure out how your parents became Trump voters...
FFS, kill list activated.
This dude here at work took a promotion and is now my supervisor's boss (not sure why a team of two needs another leader, but WHATEVER). ANYWAYS, a little bit ago the guy asks when we're available for onsite team meetings. I say any day OTHER than Wednesdays.
Dude just sent out invites for god damn Wednesdays.
Also this same guy has been on vacation this week, but has been emailing, assigning things and even came into the building yesterday. LOL who does that on their days off? FOOOOOLS

Didn't know that was possible.
their biggest issue is being anti-war. and somehow the Russian propaganda of "there wouldn't be a war with Ukraine if Ukraine just wouldn't resist" soaked into their aged hippie brainsI can't, for the life of me, figure out how your parents became Trump voters...
Grandpa is out of emergency and into an IC room, so bueno. He's like 93 (iirc) with dementia, so we all know it's a matter of time, but nice to hear that he's still trucking along.
The girls are enjoying time with their grandparents. My dad bought a used pool table a couple of months ago and is teaching them how to play. My sister and her family are going to be here early tomorrow from DFW-area, so we'll get about 1.5 days with them too.
My parents neighborhood is ridiculous. Average home cost is $1.4mm, 3 acre lot, and 4500sqft - in fucking TX. The number of excessive Trump advertising on lawns is excessive. They are on the bottom there (not challenging still really, really nice), but damn if we didn't find the rich white people in TX that love Trump. The show we went to Wednesday night was all old, rich, white people - and the Trump love is high.

Sure it wasn't the "it's my money, I earned it, and you can't have it"? Because that's what got mine.
Do they have four billion roof lines, giant garage facades, and styrofoam architectural elements?
same girl same. but eff no on gravel...all i still want to do is ride the steep janky chunk as fast as i can..Yeah, I waited about 4 weeks before trying to ride again. First ride went OK. I didn’t really think I was pushing it yesterday, but the knee noped out on me.

Something you'd like to share, perhaps?
The excavator and padfoot roller are officially off rent, driveway is totally rocked and everything that isnt flat is hydroseeded.
3 weeks isnt bad for all the logging and slash I had to deal with. but still a bit much work for just one person.

The makings of a relaxing Friday evening.
Except for those fucking DT nipple washers.

mmmm...ex511s....just have to be chill and not have shaky fingers for dem washers...get sum!!!
I used to wrench for a team owner who had a bike shop in Cali. He had made his own truing stand that worked off Excel. It could balance and true with alarming accuracy and increase the speed of builds. Inside the program, he had a formula for the exact length and number of threads the Phil Woods spoke cutter would be to have zero runout on the back of the nipples and be to the thread of recess.
I am sure they have super fancy ones like this off the shelf but it was what sparked my wheelbuilding phase
Yeah you’ll like these guys:

nipple washers = kill list
Seriously. So many other ways they could have engineered that to ease building.
Maybe special nipple shoulders, I dunno.
But I really miss Mavic’s eyelets, just the easiest for building, lubing, etc.
I think they disappeared because the weight looked higher in comparison, but they were so much better.

They did it in the dh rims too. Removed the eyelets and required washers. Dumb as fucking rocks.
Ease of manufacture and perceived weight won out.
