Pretty good, thanks for asking.
Actually slept ok. No rain here yet from the storm thing, but supposed to rain all weekend.

Child was up again in the night, as was I. 2 nights in a row and damn I feel hungover.
To-do list grows. Gotta start knocking things off before the weather starts to turn.
Me and splat managed a little nine mile shorty after the rain ended yesterday. Today is sunny and we will ride until our nuts fall off.
ETA for you with KT familiarity: Planning to pedal over to East Haven, do a couple of runs there, pedal back to the White School area, then Darling Hill. Get some.

I think I have to relocate the recycling bins. Something was in one of the bins making a racket, moving all the cans and whatever around. Eventually had to get up and yell at it to fuck off, which it did thankfully.
Anyways, work time.
Also props to the appropriate use of special characters for the thread title!
for anyone that cares:
swapping to different DH tires.
need to install the new dropper on the GG
need to install the XTR shifter on the GG
other stuff, mostly cleaning the workshop
Crawl space is mostly dried out, and the remediation crew started removing mold contaminated material yesterday. They’ll continue doing that today, and hopefully spraying some kill-all-the-mold stuff as well. Eventually they move on to the living space, checking under floorboards and wall trim to see how far “up” the damage goes. I finally talked to the claim adjuster from the insurance company, sounds like most or all of the work being done will be covered. And if the subflooring and/or flooring has water damage, we’ll be getting paid-for new floors. Hot dang! That said, we’re still staying at the neighbor’s and wearing N95 masks to go in and out of our own house. It fucking sucks one million dicks, but on the other hand I am grateful that we’re in a position to even have this kind of a problem, i.e. we aren’t homeless.
So Teh Weekend Vibes® are looking like staining our fence and/or mold fogging our house, hopefully an in-town ride or two, and then driving down to Denver so I can take my dad for a routine medical procedure on Monday morning.

The two big trees have to come down today, will take me all day for both trees since they require pulling and wedging and significant setup and each cleanup will be worth 2 tanks of gas at the least. I am still not 100% but will just take my time.
Morning Monkeys.
Outstanding dinner last night with the kids. The wife commented on how happy Lil Man was and just what a nice vibe the kids have. Like any parent, you just want your kids to be happy. My boy seems very happy and is raising two amazing kids. We really hope they stop here and just enjoy it.
I also got some awesome socks, my boy is really good. He said he asked the store lady "what is the ugliest pair of socks you have?" And here they are and I can't wait to rock them on the golf course.

“Dysfunctional” is a better word, as I might have retorn my ACL repair from 2012. It’s been bothering me for a while, but two days ago, I sprinted to the front door while I was cooking, only to find a mayoral candidate on the doorstop. Somehow tweaked something hard.
I have an MRI on Monday.
So that would make a possible 5 surgeries that I need in the next year.
Shoulder replacement
Thumb reconstruction
Nerve damage/carpal tunnel repair on index finger
Trigger finger repair on right pinkie
Possible knee replacement (I already have one)
However, I can still ride my bike, and plan to do so until mid November. 10 days in Colorado and Utah, followed by two weeks in Perú should wear me the fuck out.
Life is pain, kids.
Eat your oatmeal.

I missed it, what happened to the house? Flooded?
Oh, a business, eh, very nice. An' how'd you get that, eh? By exploitin' the workers -- by 'angin' on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic an' social differences in our society!
Yeah, I haven't been super chatty about it... but the short(ish) version is we discovered that our water heater failed (expansion tank and the T&P valve were the culprits) and was dumping a gallon or more of hot water per hour into our crawlspace for who the fuck even fucking knows how long. T&P valve and it's overflow pipe was plumbed to a flexible piece of tubing that just went through the floor into the dirt crawl space, so we never knew it was failing. Everything in the crawl space is (was?) a muddy, moldy mess.
This dude puts out some top notch products and systems, did a couple of crawlspaces with these products, and made things so much easier and useable for not much money https://crawlspace-diy.com/

hey, that's classified
i get your frustration. we've had some dumb yet painful issues with our house.
Thanks, dude! I definitely discovered Crawl Space Ninja in the last week, but haven't dove deep just yet. I'll check the other link you sent as well.
"Buy a house," they said.
"They" fuckin' lied, the bastids.
You know whenever my aches and pains are bugging me I pop over to MTBR and read the 50+ Years Old forum... and I always feel so much better.
If you arret planning on it already, I would suggest something like this. Water leaks sensors under every sink/drain/toilet connection paired with a remote shutoff valve. Some shutoff valves will even monitor flow and if a persistent trickle is detected, it'll cut water to the house.
I can attest to it. A leak sensor saved my bacon a few months back. I was cleaning out the aerator in a faucet and things went back together and looked fine. Except every time a faucet was turned on it would flow back up the neck and drip into the vanity behind all my wife's stuff. If not for thr leak sensor, I wouldn't have seen that until real damage was done. I now have leak sensors everywhere. A little peace of mind.
if you really want to get geeky, these will detect and shut off all in one and is expandable, been using these for the last couple years with zero faults
Damn, that blows (to put it lightly).
Hopefully it doesn't take much longer to be remedied.
And glad ya noticed sooner than later, when the mold might start affecting your health.
