major FTS hopefully espresso and a fried egg sandwich will take the edge off somewhat. Ruth got a request (that she accepted) to be a demonstration rider at a large symposium in January out by Sacramento on her young horse. Quite the honor.

gtta go fry an egg or two and head out the door

Discovered yesterday that the hose bib on the backside of my house wasn't even soldered into the gate valve. Fucker was just flopping around in the wall cavity. Thank some diety that said gate valve was frozen shut and held tight for all this time.

Time to fix that and get the rest of the sheathing back on.

Christmas party at work. Guess who is rather at home surfing the :monkey: instead of watching other people getting drunk, eating the same-same traditional Danish Christmas food, playing silly games and doing inappropriate things.

Holy Hella Friday Monkeys.

Just got an email that the first 2 boxes of boards showed up last night so they should all get there just in times for Christmas. Helmets show up today and tools tomorrow. So awesome.

Yay homework, an ECU flash code that is mentioned in the manual, but in no meaningful way, a stupid wiring color code and schematics that don't seem to link up as I'm used to, hooray for Spanish electrics!

Oh and I canned the work Christmas party while the boss was off, office lady asked if I'd like a $100 or to go for dinner, hmmm, dinner with people I see five days a week or money, that's a toughie.

I was unaware that today was International Fuck Up Everything You Touch day, but everybody else at work is observing this most holy of holidays.

Also truck shopping, FML, anybody know how to just shrink the kid and dogs so we don't have to upgrade from the Taco?

Took the day off because I flew in from work last Saturday...but also to work on the trails a bit more. Got this pretty well connected and I think with the temps tonight, it'll be ridable tomorrow (snow settling). Mainly was widening the previous track, berming and widening turns, reinforcing downslopes on off-camber sections, etc.

Progression of reinforcing the downslope, pulling snow from the upslope, packing downslope, packing trail and building off-camber section (that will be sustainable through winter):

Having a long weekend break in Masterton. It’s really hot and humid. We’re on someone’s farm and they have Cottonwood trees that are just fully ejaculating all over the place. It’s like a little blizzard of tree jizz.

Talent show video was a success! According to both her and the neighbors, you could hear kids all over school yelling throughout the day whenever her segment came on, since it was done in different classes at different times. She's become a bit of a conversation topic and not a peep from the "girls suck at go-karting" boys who have been bullying her about it. :rofl:

Work, baby, scotch.



I miss having a truck. Trading it in was a bad decision on my part. With a family, full size, crew cab is the only way.

Scotch first, baby second, work? Nah

You want to buy a clapped out Tacoma with peeling paint and way too many miles? Definitely never towed a trailer all over the country nor took it to Glamis 2 days after buying it. She’s been a champ for 11 years, but definitely time for an F150 or Tundra, but gen 2 Raptor prices are dropping so I may have to do something really dumb

Hired a BeeWhyDee for the weekend. It’s pretty nice. Great range, drove over the local mountains and could easily get back home again on the same charge. 64% left from Welly. 400+ real up and down k.

Stormy night? Exotic trees are pretty but annoying.
