Morning! A very crazy day ahead, then hopefully a good evening ride and some riding this weekend.
Happy Friday yall.
I stayed up way too late last night. Must push through the day, I can't wait to hit the trail tonight.
On another note, every ride this week has been a complete poopshow. The poor girl has been covered in everything from thick poop mud to slimy and greasy/watery poop mud. I think its almost time for a tear down for some resuscitation (ie, good excuse to buy another case of beer).

Driving to DC to meet up with one of my best old friends who is flying in from Denmark. I have not been there since 1992 and I have no idea what to do, where to eat etc. Only thing I remember is Air and Space museum was pretty cool.
short bus then its off to the Sierras for a weekend of Fly Fishing. I'd take the bike but my elbow fracture is not healed to the point where it could withstand a biff without rebreaking.
Even though this has been a 3-day week, it's dragged. Nice relaxing weekend hanging around the house with the girl this weekend.
Trying to figure out how I want to add stairs to the back porch and a walkway from said stairs to the pool. Can't be walking through grass going to the pool. #firstworldproblems

stairs to the pool? son, you need a water slide
Jon is on to something.
That's from the roof to the pool. Need a way to get back in the house, brah.
trampoline
Backpacking and fishing this weekend...
trampoline AND a pool. Homeowner's insurance agency dream come true.
where about??
Just make sure to get rid of the fence around the pool while you are at it. I'd hate for someone to land on that when trampolining from the roof into the pool.
travis pastrana's HI agency is making out in spades
So far... undecided. I'm thinking perhaps up in the Sawatch. We may hang closer, though...
We started picking in the donut peaches this week. Oh man, they taste like diarrhea. Tasty, tasty diarrhea.
Send a bunch to me, you f**ker.
My cousin is swinging through today on his way to SLC. Thats as far as I can deliver.Send a bunch to me, you f**ker.

I got a bag of Palisades peaches from the Golden farmer's market last Saturday morning. 
Those are reason enough to walk down there first thing in the morning before riding.

Morning Monkeys.
Spent a little time with the grandbaby yesterday. Hes now taking steps. His 1st birthday is next weekend, so I am getting him a glider bike of sorts. Need to check a few out, that little ginger is getting fast.
Also looking for a toddler life jacket for the boat. Hope to take my boy and his little man out on the river. It's Friday, bitches.

Like he has insurance.
Afternoon.
Spent all morning in jury duty selections in downtown Rochester. Didn't get picked and was dismissed by lunch time. Now I have all day to do whatever I want! Thinking I'll mow the lawn and possible small bike ride.

Getting shipped off to Japan in a few weeks. Not sure what to think about that.

A few months ago I took a Rock Shox Reverb to DirtLabs in Boulder for a complete rebuild... it had a couple thousand miles on it and was getting slaw-pay. They did a fantastic job, quick turnaround, and it felt awesomely like new again.
After a few rides I was climbing a local hill, dropped the Reverb at the top for the descent. When the hill went back up again BAM! seat pole wouldn't come back up. WTH??!! Took it back to DritLabs, they stood behind their work and "warrantied" the blown seal i.e. re-bled and put in a new seal, etc.
AWESOME.
Fast forward a few moar rides and KAPLOW, same behaviour. Very odd. Back to DirtLabs, and they were determined to get to the bottom of it. Took the whole damn thing apart, and sorted out that the stanchion / shaft part of the Reverb was slightly bent. The theory is that when the bushings were worn and there was slop in there, the bent shaft was fine. Once new internals went in and tolerances were tightened up, the bended shaft was putting side load and the system and blowing seals.
So DirtLabs puts the whole she-banga-bang in a box and ships it off to RockShox with fingers crossed for warranty. This is a gen 1 Reverb, mind you. Got a phone call today—DirtLabs took receipt of a brand MF new Reverb under warranty today.
Excellent experience with DirtLabs and RockShox in this instance, super happy (obviously) and can't say enough goodness about how I was treated. In addition to knowing their isht with suspension rebuilds and mods, DirtLabs really did good by me to get RS to warranty the post, and RS was basically rad to provide a replacement.
tl;dr version: DirtLabs and RockShox gave me the customer service equivalent of Chinese massage with a happy ending, you should give them all your money.

don't go to fukushima
to be totally honest, sram would warranty stuff if you smashed it with a hammer.
Good to hear - I really should take my Reverb *and* my Revelation up there for the Full Monty.
Oh - and SRAM warrantied my 1st gen Reverb as well. Gen 2 has worked no issues since...

Rock Shox warrantied my Lyrik when I had trouble with it. The second time too. And the third in fact. Then I sold that hunk of sh!t.
So you are telling me to look up Valvebouncer?
Doesn't make me any less stoked, only that maybe I should smash moar of their stuff with a hammer?
Well sh!t if we didn't do a $14,500 day at Lowe's.
surprised the Amex didn't melt.
