Things that go bump in the night... 65 pound dog rolled over and fell of the bed at 2am. he wasn't hurt and I fell back asleep for another hour.

Little bit of rain yesterday looks like clear and mid 70s today with an easy schedule...works for me

Level of stupid was exceptional at the Detroit airport this morning. A special award goes to the Chinese couple trying to fly with a duffle bag full of cats. I think animal control was called.

From what I have seen, when people from cultures that do not typically have pets come to the US and get pets, said pets are not not treated the way we would expect.

Helped steal a dog from a Korean friend when in college.

Morning.

I see lots of yard work in my future this weekend. Putting in a couple new bushes in the backyard to help mask my neighbor's neglected yard. Wifey also wants to do a small flower garden in the front of our house. I guess it's kind of a Mother's day gift for her. At least I can drink beer during all of this so I'm fine with it.

went for a ride last night. conditions were awesome but I felt like a sack shit. I can't understand why either, as both boys have been sleeping well for the past week. anyways, when we were done the ride, my fucking Pike blew it's air-side dust seal again. this new one lasted all of 4 rides. the one before it lasted 3 rides. the goddam fork has been in for service more times than I've ridden it I think. Last year it was warrantied twice by the distributor, one time replacing both the air spring and the damper cartridge. The thing worked so well the first season I had it (July to November 2013) then has been nothing but a pain in my ass. I'm not sure what to do now. All aftermarket kits for it seem to focus on the damper side, not the air side, which is where I'm having problems. gah.

Ironic, deflowering is the more traditional part of motherhood.

Mother F'n Friday. It was hard to get up this morning for gym time with rain. It poured here last night and bed was comfy. I know a bunch of people were pissed because Snow Summit bike park opening day is today, except it was snowing and they were turning people away without chains.

I agree. One of the best riding days I had was when it snowed overnight at Northstar. I was very close to taking the day off today to hit opening weekend, but we have a big crew scheduled for next weekend, so I decided to pass today. Wish I had just gone up. Not sure why people wouldn't just head back down the mountain a bit to Wal-Mart or something and get chains. I wouldn't let that stop me from an epic park day. The dirt up there is so good when it's damp.

FTFY. Last surprise snow up there, I came up behind someone at least a few miles past the snow line doing like 35 on the freeway. Went to pass and realize they still had chains on their car...it had only been rain for the past 5 miles or so...

It was just enough overnight to make it 100% awesome. Stopped early enough to open the park. We rode first tracks down most of the runs.

Howdy all. I dropped off the older kid at preschool this morning in the LEAF, which she likes more than the RAV4 EV. I asked her why, and it's apparently because she thinks the people on the radio talk more in the RAV4 (and play less music) than in the other car. Go figure.

For the rest of the day I'm on academic time. No tie needed. I'm grading liver cancer cases, gathering data about breast nodules on CT, writing a bit, hassling a bank to get a $100 promotion applied, and waiting for SolarCity to call back so that I can get the solar package on the new house upsized.
