'Morning. Yesterday's planned afternoon road ride turned into a late hour on the trainer because work is a raging pile of bloody assholes. I seriously question why I continue to put up with this shit, but then I convince myself it's just a tough project I am on and the end of this project is near. That, and I am a SUCKER.

'Tis hot as fug. Lady friend is mad at me for some unknown reason (girlz), so I have my bike shit packed for a ride tonight in the murderous heat. Fingers crossed its not raining and/or thundering.

Also, I believe I work with donkeys. They plan power shutdowns in the building but never tell me until the last minute. I get an email this morning telling me that power will be shutoff at one building tomorrow, but with no given time or any sort of details....?? Tomorrow is also a work event at the local theme park, which has been planned out for months. You betterz believe I'm going to that!

Last 20min was straight small child screaming fest. Remind me again why?

Work meetings all day. Left an email for a teacher (mind it's summer) yesterday at 10am asking if she was able to take a call at 5pm. She emailed me back at 4:58pm saying yes. At that point I had moved on and planned on dealing with it today. I got a nastygram email this am because I didn't call last night. I'll be calling her late this afternoon instead now.

Found some youth levers for Haley last night, so that should help her ability to stop. Getting a new air fork is becoming a bigger project than I wanted, because they are all disc only. She might be getting coil instead because I can use calipers.

Morning Monkeys.

FTS Friday is off to a chilly start. Brisk walkies this morning, but strong coffee takes the edge off.


Lil Man's birthday this weekend and my oldest sister is in town to get a tat from our niece. My wife is excited, me not so much. But I think we only have a few hours with her and her sugar daddy.

There are sooooo many other things I would rather do than entertain family. This is why I moved away, to avoid my family.

Mornin!

590 miles in the books yesterday; Denver to Iowa. Today it's off to the paradise they call Indiana. Old man and I are making good time so far.

We just started using TimeTap. Unfortunately, mine doesn't work yet. I gave her two times when I would call, so she should be expecting my call in the afternoon today.

I think I'm going to buy the highest tier YT Capra AL as incentive to get my ass moving to sell the M. I don't need the extra lb less for $2k more, so carbon is unnecessary. Less than $3k for a solid bike rings true for me.

Wow, that does look like a killer ride. After seeing the cost of the Yeti SB165, I about died. I could see $2500 for a new rig.

Rode White Ranch bright and early. 5:50 AM but still the 6th car in the lower lot, because Colorado people are crazy. Went OTB on Lower Longhorn with only small scrapes and bruises to show for it.
