election day gfmt....the end of the world as we know it
- Thread starter stevew
- Start date
If the election brings back the "wrong" result, I will commit to eating some sort of WaHo shit diet until I eat myself to death. There will be nothing left to live for...might as well let it all hang out. And not in the cool way...
I'm sure both candidates will act, and treat the election process with all of the decorum, respect, and honor it deserves.
It's definitely the apocalypse, we don't even have wingdings
Today is doom scroll and be crushed under the weight of anxiety day.
Maybe I'll buy some pedals to take my mind off of it.

'Morning! Settle in folks, it's going to be a wild ride today! I am surprised to see Trump has not clamed victory yet.
Good morning. Work, prob swap snow tires over lunch, winter is coming again.
What pedals are you looking at?
I have to put winter wheels on the CR-Vs but will wait for higher temperatures, which are supposed to occur tomorrow onwards.
nothing like just starting through your morning coffee and the wife starts peppering you with honey do's, such the buzzkill. Now I remember why I like to get up way before her. It's so that I can actually enjoy my coffee in peace
Winter wheels for the car is on my to-do list before this coming weekend. But high temps all week I'll leave it a few more days.
Honestly I've got good weather until the end of the weekend. No rush, but I won't mis this window.
OneUp aluminiums, on your recommendation. The RF Chester's are pretty good and all, but suffer from lackluster grip (even with 5.10s) and I could use a bit of help in the pedal strike department.
don't think I'll be able to duck out for a ride today, so much like adventurous, it'll probably be doom scrolling and maybe some retail therapy. Would love to scoop up some new MTB brakes.
I did some retail therapy last week... new ski pants and some nice wool base layers showed up yesterday. Still waiting on teh new-to-me skis to ship from SLC.
the trick i've learned is to keep my own list, then when my wife wants something done i show her mine and tell her its priority
TRP DH-R Evo are in stock, finally. I grabbed a set for a look-see, they tick a lot of boxes.
what'dya get?
pouring a second cup of coffee and going to attempt to be productive. no ride today, gotta take kids to xc this afternoon. meh.
Probably maggie MT Trail sport. I have MT5s on the DH bike and they have been relatively problem free, aside from needing a TORX tool to adjust the reach. They don't seem to pump and have plenty of power, especially with better pads. I was balls-deep in shimano, but I like to try to keep my brakes as consistent as possible to maintain spares. The new hayes look awesome, but are double the price of the maggies.
My bday is coming up and my mom asked me what I wanted. I went through my "stuff I want" list and there really isn't anything at this point. I've hit "dad" stage. I want to put more insulation in or panels on the house. I want to rip out half the lawn and put in a xeriscape landscape instead. I only need prescription sunglasses and they are crazy fucking expensive. Best thing I have is a new hub so it's easier to rebuild rear wheels as I destroy the wheels (for all the riding I do) and it's $200, but they're retired and don't want them to spent that kind of cash.
I've gotten to the point that new stuff is meh and I would rather just have time to do stuff, which can't be bought.
should have said "i want you to do this for me....do your grandchildren a favor and vote for biden"
I nuked my facebook account last night and I feel a little extra spring in my step this morning. Currently staring at the calendar to figure out which day to call in FTS next week to go ride my bikey in the sagebrush for a couple hours.
An old pair of Rossignol RC112s... these things are like a mythical unicorn ski. They get name-dropped as a point of comparison in reviews of modern skis pretty regularly... like "these brand new skis are pretty good, but they don't do X or Y as well as those Rossi RC122s" sorta thing. They're one of those magical skis that kinda did everything (or at least a lot of stuff) really well, but for whatever reason were only made for a year or two. A pair popped up for $150 with bindings, and I figured what the hell? I think @Nick wants to flog on them for a day as well.
I haven't nuked mine, but I think it's been a month or more since I've logged in... and three weeks before that. It's been nice.
I tell mine she's a strong independent woman who doesn't need a man in her life and that she's perfectly capable of doing it herself.
Then we both laugh and I end up doing it anyway.
Depressed by life events.
Buck up, amigo!
Took a fukitol yesterday morning and chased it with some hero dirt. Back still not 100% so rode some tame yet steep trails. Place was filthy with old men on e-bikes.
Assuming my boot will fit, you bet I do
I would get beat for pulling that. Redheads....
What's up dude?
Back? Have I missed an injury story, or are you just old and creaky?
Oh mine is kissed by fire too. Like holding an M80 hoping to throw it before it goes off. Sometimes it works, other times you are left dazed with no fingers.
You have Veteran's Day off? Hoping to put an afternoon ride together with my bro, I can let you know what the plan is.
