Waking up in an Airbnb in Grand Junction. Time to get ready for practice for this weekend's race.

I still have to work the next few nights though (boo) with getting ready to start meeting with clients. Oh well. I got my first check yesterday and it was almost 25% more NET! I will survive.

Yet again the DSO decided to spend overnight hours barking. I'm going to turn it off and on again soon...

did you watch the lightning last night? incredible show.
@Toshi posted in his thread that they got nailed by 2" hail, I commented I'd watched a little of the lightning. Didn't have a clear view from our house, but almost considered heading out to our mailboxes to be able to watch.

Hey man! I hit the pool this morning for the third day in a row and I was feeling it. I splashed through 2500 yards.

I've got this weekly user termination report that I need to run. I like that the e-mail instructions I get say (paraphrasing) "Do this and this and this and this and this, or just click this link." lmao

Anyway, 34 for 34 roffles

hello friends

another cycle commute today FTW. I've started thinking about riding my real bike in- I have safe storage but it's going to add a bunch to the time and effort. Maybe if I have a slow day, already takes about an hour between getting ready and un-getting-ready

I need to find some mediocre singletrack soon. Something with a bit of flow and speed. Not sure where I can get that in eastern MA

I ride my bike to work every day. Even when its winter its better than sitting in the car on some shitty highway.

Haven't been to Otis but it's 1:30 away- tough to plan a 5 hr bike ride with family obligations. Wompy is good at times but other sections are the exact opposite of what I'm looking for....relatively smooth, fast singletrack with minimal switchback tomfoolery. more spaghetti less ramen noodles. Leominster is pretty good but it devolves into rocky ramen hell in certain areas. Gotta see what else is out there I guess.

This training is dragging on so much. The instructor talks so friggin much.

We're reviewing a practice exam of 40 questions. We're on question 13 and each one is taking 5-7 minutes to review, while he babbles on and on.

:dead:

OMG, this Area 15 is INSANE. Between this and the Sphere, proof that LSD changed the minds of so many creatives is right here in Vegas, of all places.
Almost overwhelming, but awesome. In the meaning of the word.

Hipster and Yakima do not compute.

I've found the smell to be enjoyable. I would not pay for this service considering I can self-spill with ease.

I've got my monthly dose of Laos War youtube documentaries out of the way, not sure what else the day has in store.
