Day is done, rode 38km in the bush then did a basic service on my fork.
Trying Ballistol oil as lower leg lube, works well on the hedge trimmer and Formula use it in their forks.
It smells so weird, like a strange aniseed sorta something.....

Up at 4:30 drifting in and out until the wife let out a gigantic snore around 6, figured that was my sign that sleepytime was over.
So up I am. Ready to attack the day (not really).
up at 0315, espresso at 0330 leave to do my first pick up at 0410 ain't life grand. Supposedly today is the only day out of the next 7 where it will not rain.
Coffee, emails, poop and it’s not even 7. It’s almost winter again. Still muddy but cold muddy.
Time of the year for my review with my boss. FTS is strong. Makes me debate a career move.
Good bike session last night with a 240 w average. Still a little unsure how precise the power meter is at the bikes at the gym.
At work that's about it.

Here. Hannah's best friend's sister will be here hanging out with Haley today.
Talked with a buddy from work last night who just got a job offer for 25% more elsewhere. He's not super comfortable with it, so not taking it, but I finally convinced him that it's time to go back into his core career. He's a CFP, but stopped working in that role because our (then) boss burned him out. So, he's back to applying for those roles. Has a friend that's pushing him really hard to move to Fidelity, so I expect him to be gone within a month.
Oh, and all that drama on my team because the other senior rep wasn't getting paid enough? It came to fruition yesterday - he quit. #1 team in the country and we just lost our #1 and #3 producers (retirement and compensation). Dumpster fire.

Damn kid woke me up twice in the middle of the night, bangin' around in the kitchen. Even left the back door wide open for a few hours because he was too lazy to wait for the dog to come back in.
If he wants to be Canadian, he has a long way to go, learning how to be polite and quiet and respectful and shit.

Yawn... pedaling into town for lunch with a bunch of deaf retired aerospace engineers this morning. Of the bunch, I'm the only one who was straight working class for a significant period of their lives - the rest are HS to college to I'm an engineer.

Still raining....
Phone died in the middle of the night, so no alarm this morning. I wake up before the alarm most days anyways, but that panic of waking up and not knowing what time it is sucks.
Friggin' tired...
Tell him if a skunk or family of raccoons come in, he's the one chasing them out.
Tired. At least I have coffee, and it's Friday. Taking the older kids on their first hike tomorrow, provided the break in the rain holds up.
Did. Boss is clearly backed into a corner and knows it. Gave the "I submitted for raises and bonuses, and you should be pretty happy with them" spiel, so I gave him the "you just lost your #3 producer due to under compensation. I'm your Sr rep and now #1 producer. You and I both know what he was making, and what I make. It's damn near impossible to find someone with my experience anywhere near that range and we have a lot of RFPs with touchy, high value clients on accounts that I cover for a reason, coming up. So I would hope all of that has been taken into consideration. I've been here for 13yrs I'm not planning to leave, but I also hope I'm not given an incentive to like he was." He said he was calling our VP after we finished talking. My review is in 3 weeks, so we shall see.
I see your bet and raise you to the "poop belongs in the toilet" talks I had this AM after finding a large chunk if semi dried poo on the floor next to the can.Damn kid woke me up twice in the middle of the night, bangin' around in the kitchen.

Ran the Disney 10K this morning. Jogged my way to a 46 minute finish. 10,000 people in this race but I was mostly alone the last four miles. Had a blast.
Morning Monkeys.
Veterans Breakfast at the Moose Lodge this morning. I usually can't go because of work meetings. It's an interesting crowd.

FTFYTell him if a bat or a raccon come in, he's the one paying for rabies shots.
amount of fucks that the LAPD will give regarding one stolen car: ~0 stevew-units
Curious to see how those work out for you, I have heard that Ti spokes can make for a noodley wheel, but that was back in the day when rims were also noodles.
Last year I was looking to build up a durable yet soft riding rear wheel for the hardtails. Aluminum rimmed wheel fit the ride qualities but they last less than a year before being too bent/dented. Went with a Reserve rim with CX-Ray spokes. So far it has fit the bill.
This.
Last year in Seattle bunch of people found their stolen cars in a lot being used as a chop shop, SPD told them to mind their own business and just deal with their insurance companies.
