fatal on the freeway yesterday afternoon had all the surface streets effed up for hours. I couldn't get across town to fuel up at the end of the day. Need to head out and be at the station ( that takes the company fuel card) when they turn the pumps on at 0400 then head to my 0415 pick up. Slamming down my espresso
Hopefully a quiet day today.
I might be a nice coworker and get doughnuts this morning, we’ll see.
Chance of snow here today. I really hope it doesn’t.

TBH it’s nice just to think there is something else apparently as good as an Assegai. A tough tyre to top. Maxxis has been the clear leader for ages.
ever feel like the universe is trying to send you a message?
alarm went off to workout. woke up with a headache. sittin' on the can, as is tradition, and the power goes out twice. just a few seconds each time. Pushed through (heh) anyways and got on the bike. Not a lot of energy but going for it anyways. 20m in the power goes out, this time for like 10 minutes. Trainer was stuck on a decent setting so kept moving the legs. Gave up and the power came back on.
Now I've got a headache, not quite a migraine but pretty severe, and have taken plenty of medicine. Here's this:

It is surprising what $30 of hot bean juice and round baked items can do for the attitudes in the office.
Work. Visiting a different building this morning. This place uses a smelly coolant in the plant, which isn't the greatest, but they have 40 foot tall presses, so those are cool to watch and feel the whole building vibrate.
To find some coffee...

Today, is going to be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you.
Maybe I'll go buy some tools.
Thanks for the reminder. I'm going to have to hang bat houses at the new place. And plant some stuff that's attractive to pollinators.
they offer you your old boss' job yet?I chose poorly.
yes, and it's quite comical actually.
Got to bed a little earlier last night. Giant glowing sky orb blasted through my window this morning. No moar rain ?

by now you should have somehow figured out what you've got to do

the tpi is the first thing I looked for when they were announced. 120 tpi on a DD or SuperGravity type construstion is fine, but not on the EXO+ level, imo (and in ime). There's a reason Maxxis switched from 120tpi on the EXO+ to 55tpi (or is it 60, I can't quite remember): with less layers, the casing needs to be tougher to withstand the abuse.
Unfortunately, I couldn't tell if they have an EXO+ equivalent, and what the tpi is...
Makes no difference to performance, but sure as heck makes it hard to remember which ones are which... which seems important when you're (presumably) trying to sell tires.
anyways... gloomy day on tap today, with my afternoon consisting of a 3-hour Teams team meeting. And to be honest, I'm ok with it, since it will be an opportunity to discuss what's next for our "Branch". We've grown considerably over the past couple of years, and many of the functions my group has been responsible for were transferred over to other new groups. We are left as the "A-Team" that fixes issues and gets high-priority projects done. But that can be kind of exhausting, and doesn't have much stability. I'd be happy discussing a more concrete vision for what we do... I'm getting too old for this shit, that's a young person's game.
Renewed SAR card, joined the local mountain bike advocacy/trail group. Guess I can call it a day.
First time having been ghosted? Recruiting is generally FUBAR nowadays.
Details?
Work is stressing me out. Not the actual work today, which is easy (albeit with me at Highlands Ranch for no good reason that I can discern other than that we roll over at their irrational requests), but because two more people are leaving my section in 6 months and shit's going to hit the fan.
It's ridiculous.

@sunringlerider, I wondered if you were gonna hit Light Rail for treats. I wanted to ask for one of everything the other day…
