i'm just giving you shit. 3 kids bikes here, stride (that i need to sell), 16" kids bike, 24" Giant STP (son's current bike), my wife has a bike, and all my bikes. DH, Enduro, trail/xc, cx, bmx, trials. i have a slalom frame (i just need a 1-1/8" external headset to built it), my old yeti ARC hardtail frame, and a second partial DH frame.
the crazy part is, by the time my son is old enough for an FS bike, he'll likely be large enough to ride one of my bikes. He's 6 and already on 24" wheels. at this point i'm keeping all my old 26" bikes for him.
Super happy to get hold of a replacement wheelset today only to discover that the front hub is boost. I clearly told the fucker I bought it from it should not be boost. I was wondering why the rear was not as wide as the front which of course is because its some old OEM stock Canyon got hold off. Would have been nice with a 30mm rim up front. At least I got through a ride without a broken spoke.
Haha. Ship has very much sailed. Hannah is *almost* ready to move to the 12". Almost.
I could get Haley onto a 26" if I really wanted to, but I'm trying to hold off. I want to keep her on a small bike as long as possible - lighter and easier to ride/control smaller bikes (see 4x vs. Enduro).
We got a baker’s dozen from a dude that comes around to my wife’s office, they are goddamn amazing.
shakedown of kid's new ride is complete. the t2 has officially been sent. still need to make a few adjustments but in general he's pleased.

Yeah, I usually go local but we saw them and thought "why not". The ones I got at Grocery Outlet were actually pretty good. Put enough crap on em and it works.
Was gonna ride today but shit weather is shit; we had rain not in the forecast overnight so it’s really really wet again, and it is southerly so extra chilly. Feels like this has been an exceptionally wet start of winter this year and it has been humid despite the cold and not that windy on top of everything so stuff is staying wet. 
Plants are happy I suppose.
May ride anyway cos I haven’t been for a couple of weeks now and I neeeed it, but let’s see. There’s a couple of workshop projects I am doing so maybe they get some time instead.

Told my director that I'm moving to the mountains today, and it went really well. We are fully remote right now, but the company as a whole is expected to return to "in person office" at some point, probably. It's a global brand with offices all over the world, but the office here in the Denver area is known as being pretty rogue. So the people who run the show in our office (my director being one of them) have no interest in ever returning to the office. And Salida is only a few hours down the road, so if I need to be in the office for a workshop or important meeting, it's not a big deal. Big sigh of relief here, even though I mostly knew that's how the convo would go down. Now... just need to get them to bring me on as an FTE.

The aerospace museum in Mcminnville is TITTIES. Need to go back when my kids are big or without them. Easily could spend all day looking at airplanes, helicopters, nd space craft.
God forbid you ever end up in Dayton Ohio, but if you do, the Air Force Museum is an amazing place.
Thanks for the heads up. I felt like I was in a US government treasure chest today. So much priceless and crazy stuff. They had that SR-71 and an A-10 plus all the space stuff.
has he started the woodworking tool hoard yet?
If you haven't already been, the Museum of Flight in Seattle is small but still interesting. Not worth making a trip to see, but certainly worth it if you have head into the city. Haven't been to the warbirds museum in Everett yet.
This was cool though:
It's been a long time since I was at the Museum of Flight. Is there a museum in Mukilteo at Boeing? Is that the warbirds museum?If you haven't already been, the Museum of Flight in Seattle is small but still interesting.

Dang those MS guys go balls to the wall. Looks like a pretty great collection of war machines.
That place is great! When living in Corvallis I was often making a day trip to visit it and then end the day with shopping at Woodburn.
If you make it to London, the RAF Museum there is amazing as well. The museums in Munich and Sinsheim in Germany have cool airplane collections as well.
I couldn't get through it yesterday, but read the whole thing this morning. I understand the premise, but the writing manages to be muddy and self-promotional enough that it would require another reading to see with what I might or might not agree.Interesting read:

That's where my wife's from. I've never been to that museum.
I wish.
Ohio/Michigan family. I bet you just count the days until you visit the homeland. At least there is nothing interesting between you and home to delay any journey.That's where my wife's from. I've never been to that museum.
This is like Manimal 2.0. It's only a matter of time before you move to New Mexico and join a militia.
