Up before the alarm, going to leave work at noon and go play.
And a phone interview.
Probably why I didn't sleep more.

Just got back from first night ride of 2021 season with a friend on a ‘normal’ bike. Super fun, including rain/mist that made seeing down the trails quite hard due to all the reflection from the lights. Lights are too bright on full anyway, but turned them down even more to get less glare. A few close shaves made things even more fun. Hard to get motivated to go out last thing but so fun once you do. 10/10 will hit it again (once I have strip cleaned my absolutely filthy everything).
Thanks, gall bladder ultrasound this morning, more blood work tomorrow, we'll see.
bastards slammed my route today. 19 scheduled transports, so maybe 3 rounds of espresso today......
one bad thing about horse show season and being in demand for EMT services is no days off work. My next day off is May 28th. Good money though so I shouldn't complain too much.

Signed on at work by 7am, repairing closet shelf during lunch. Then hopefully after work a bike ride if the closet repair is as easy as I hope it will be.
Still sore from the weekend yard work that never ends. I think I like the winter better. 
Curious about this week - can be great, can be decent, can be a total shitshow.

Three day IT audit starting at work today. Did some pre-audit auditing last week and already found one issue that will be raised, thanks HR! Joy.
Arm is a definitely tender from the covid shot yesterday. But howdy do is my back even worse - the kitteh just used its four claw drive to climb up to my shoulders to get a closer look at a mosquito fluttering around on the wall. JOY.
That sun is out though, sweet.

Wait. What?

Chicago. Although I thought she was up in Minnesota?
Explored a bunch of new lines yesterday on my solo ride. Just cruised along at a casual pace looking for more challenging/new ways to ride the same trail.
Now, work. May have to go into the office again several times this week. Ive got a bad feeling one of my projects went sideways once it was released and turned over to production. DISLIKE.
word. only been to chicago once for a trade show. didn't have a bad time.
Spent way too many days at McCormick place doing trade shows in mid winter there. The summer shows were ok if the Humidity was low
Visibility of about 3" out my windows with the low cloud/fog. Potentially lots of snow coming up through tomorrow...
Man this is like a suck week for everybody.
Lost my uncle over the weekend. I guess it was expected and surprised nobody, and he was on his way down for some time. Still, I feel for my cousins and his wife (my aunt). I didn't know him too well.
Had a pretty decent weekend otherwise though. Saturday was spent mostly in bed, occasionally getting up to see what the haps was around the house, but mostly dealing with the aftereffects of shot #2. Missed a dad's night but managed to cram in a 12 mile SPRINT ALL THE THINGS ride on the road bike. Sunday I took the kids to the beach to give my wife some space to chill TFO with nobody bothering her. Ended up being a spectacular day for the kids and I

Spent too much of my life there for IMTS. Spend two weeks building a 16000 ft^2 factory on carpet, week of a show and a week to tear down. Usually a month of 14 hour days without a single day off. But boy did we run up those expense accounts.
I was a sales guy for a small watch company. 10x10 pop up. 30 minutes s to set up or tear down. Later when I worked for CASIO they had contractor crews doing the set up and tear down. Us sales guys just flew in for the show. Of course we did two shows a month all around the country. I fucking lost track of what day, what city, and what product line the show was aimed at. I don't miss that shit at all.
how cold is it right now?Still in Acadia on a family getaway, so you guys can suck my tits on this glorious Monday
This was just one part of the last booth I set up, although the most physically imposing. For scale, that frame being swung around is from a Volvo semi, or maybe a combine. Dealing with the Teamsters Union was like dancing with the devil.

Just finished off a 12 hour 3rd shift stint. Wearing a mask for that long is painful.
Hola, guey!
Sorry...
hey @StiHacka @CrabJoe StretchPants @Adventurous
Thinking of heading to leominster SF on Saturday afternoon. Any of you punks want in? Wifey has shot 2 in the morning, so sunday is going to be a wash and somebody's gotta watch the kids while she gets her autism upgrade. Thoughts?

Weather forecast isn't looking great for either day, I'll have to play it by the ear.
Perfect temps imo, with highs in upper 50s and lows in mid/lo 40s. One day was pretty cloudy and windy AF, so that required some extra layers, but overall it's been lovely. About to go for boat cruise around the harbor, so that will be a little more nipply. But if you're hiking up some of these steep punchy ascents, cooler is better for me.
That was rad.
too cold to swim in the alpine lakes then.
