i have an old road bike for dedicated trainer use. the other night i noticed that the chain no longer fully engages with the chainring. and i'm not talking by just a little bit, i'm talking it's so stretched maybe 50% of the chain is properly seating into the chainring teeth at a time. the cranks are short too, so i figured i'd spend a few extra pesos and get a whole new crankset, and can build out the rest of a replacement drivetrain from my parts bin

Beautiful Friday

The foundation plan for a 5 story building does not match the steel grid line plan and to top it off the approved anchor bolt plan does not match either of the previous plans we have 1,100 yards of concrete in the ground and the steel is in fabrication now the architect and engineer are pointing fingers saying the foundation contractor and steel contractor are responsible for all discrepancies yet they both stamped and approved both the rebar shop drawings and structural shop drawings and expect us to eat the cost of modifications to structural steel in fabrication


To add insult to injury the whole design team and ownership are pissed at me because I caught a major problem and are calling them to the carpet on it

WTF

You should have kept quiet and then enjoy the sight of them trying to mount the steel structures on non matching foundation.

I’m in a weird space today. My girlfriend’s younger sister is using a fake Facebook profile to send me messages that their aunt has passed away, a couple I am really good friends with told me they’re separating after 11 years, and this Keurig coffee sucks.

Yeah, there was some drama when we were in RI for their father's "celebration of life" or whatever. Younger sister basically drank a substantial portion of a handle of Scotch, lost her shit, screamed at everyone, and ended up disowning her two sisters. That girl is 1-800-crazytown-dot-com. Kinda sad, mostly just don't wanna have anything to do with it.

Re-ran all the math on the cars. Getting a Leaf+ and keeping the Subaru makes the most sense, assuming Xcel credit is still there. The px difference between the Leaf and Tesla is great enough that extrapolating out the cost of insurance + greater payments, etc means keeping the Subaru for mtn trips and the Leaf for daily is net positive by enough that Wifey's new car will also be net + cashflow for the month. Off to Nissan to have a conversation...

Every time I have Thai food, I get pad Thai. I can’t help myself. It seems dumb. There must be other good options.
