Thirty °F upon arising at six thirty this morning, feels about a month late.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Colors had already peaked between 4-5k ft in VA. Made a point to take a pic in the exact same spot as 3 weeks prior. But around here not much change in color at all. Late indeed.

 

[Pesqueeb]

going here later today. Who has shrooms?

Well. That was pretty fucking weird.



Warm enough last night I decided to leave the pullets in the coop with the adult chickens. Everyone was still alive when I left for work, so I guess that went okay.

 

[I Are Baboon]

Good morning, friends! I've got a four hour drive home and Wife is in no hurry to get going. If it was up to me, we'd have hit the road 30 minutes ago. Hmph. Got shit to do at home!!

 

[stoney]

Awake. Study. Need to go find Dune for Haley.

 

[Toshi]

Hello all. Worked 5-10 pm, physically at work unlike most of these shifts these days.

Shall do a Power Zone proper ride today as HRV has recovered and otherwise lounge about.

 

[Montana rider]

I saw this guy tooling out towards the foothills the other day, and was curious about the solar panels.

I'd prefer the "beer-powered" version myself but YMMV

Fourzan and Redding got their bikes tuned up at Owenhouse Cycling, then took a tour at the Bozeman Brewing Company.

Raining harder than it has in a year. That's not saying much cause it hasnt really rained in a year.

We got out and did some trail maintenance without Deputy Fife shaking his finger at us. Win. Rode my single speed almost 8 miles. No weird pain or regrets today. That is also classified as a win.

Now to eat coffee cake and sort through the garage/storage shed mess.

Good day to stay inside. Heavy rain, steady wind in the mid 20s with gusts into the 50s

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Laid down to snooze for a bit and slept 2.5 hours. Now if I can get a wee bit of time in the woods today it’ll be a successful Sunday.

 

[canadmos]

It appears someone has stolen one of the pumpkins off our front porch.

 

[Toshi]

Need to go find Dune for Haley.

Finally got Mariko to start reading it in earnest today

 

[jstuhlman]

quick ride with the kiddo this am. was fun to bump around in the woods for a bit. so nice out.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Ja, ist time for bikies...

 

[CBJ]

More garden work on a mild sunny day. Besides biking it's my favorite workout. Not a huge yard buy plenty of things to do. Plus many more projects I can start when I get bored.

First gym day. Hour ride on the spinning bike and a little kettlebell lifting to strengthen the shoulder.

I think the shoulder is strong enough to ride the mtb again but will confirm with the PT tomorrow.

Neighborhood Halloween party last night. Adults only, and outdoors. Won funniest costume with the wife (bacon and eggs). Met some new neighbors, had too many beers, stayed out later than expected.

Hangover morning and didn't get out the door for dh laps until 11, just was well temps were just breaking 50 at the base of the mountain when I arrived at 12:30. Conditions were great. Highlight was going past a line of about 10 fanny pack enduro bros all lined up to check out a 5 foot drop. Hit that drop and the drop after it. See ya.

Home now to warm up, beers, dinner, then hot tub once the kids are in bed.

 

[rideit]

Snuck in a last ride before the mucky-muck sleet and rain came in. Did I mention that I LOVE my new bike?

 

[Da Peach]

Job well done.

shame about the gastro…

 

[Westy]

Ugly storm rolled through town, power is out. Generator running, getting everything with a battery getting charged and watching some episodes of community while my neighbors listen to my generator in the dark.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Chased some dirt ribbons on my two wheeled conveyance this evening.

 

[rideit]

@kidwoo , you guys getting hammered yet?

umm…..with rain and whatnot?

 

[kidwoo]

One of the most heavy sustained periods of rain Ive ever seen here.

 

[rideit]

You know what that means?
You are due for an earthquake.
Or perhaps a Tahoe Tsunami.

 

[Westy]

Central cal is getting penetrated by a cyclone wang

 

[rideit]

I bet S.L.O. Is a mess!
Rain is getting a little harder here.

rain, mud, or snow?

 

[kidwoo]

judging by the sounds keeping me up all night, tons of rain, 2-3 powerpoles, whole lot of snow, then rain, sounded like a tree, probably that was a landslide in the distance, and now can't see across the street it's snowing so hard


I love how they keep these highways open overnight when they know this shit is happening

I know it's pretty common in WA state in winter but we're talking about californians here

there's at least one tesla under that, guaranteed

[jonKranked]

[Nick]

well, Jon ....
I cut the drums from the flats, liberally coated everything in Weaver's Chicken Dust + special family HaChiBaba shake, then for kicks I brushed 1/2 of them with Sweet Baby Rays. Slow cooked on the grill, fat/skin was crispy, chicken fell off the bones.

 

[rideit]

I usually bake them off slow in the oven with a rub, (and tug?) and then finish on the grill…
(sometimes I’ll bake off the day before, then they grill super-quick if people are waiting for them)
