Finished work an hour ago, unfortunately it's freezing temps and snow/raining. I was going to start servicing a Boxxer, not sure I want to start in the cold garage though.

And I thought surgeons were the meat heads of the medical world.
Can confirm. Rain is getting awful chunky. Made it back to the car just in time.
Rode lumpy singletrack with the Merrells, switched to Five Tens halfway through, going to continue the experiment.
i was aware of the forecast yet chose to ride in this morning. because it's still better than the car*
* may change my opinion after actually riding home in it
was gonna lunch ride today. slept like crap. finally got back to sleep then woke up to daughter being sick and having diarrhea. wife took our son to the bus stop, as soon as they get there he face planted on the sidewalk and scraped up his knees hands etc. had to bring him home to get him cleaned up and he missed the bus. too tired to ride. napped at lunch. still not feeling 100% myself. earlier was thinking maybe i'll just ride in the evening. not really feeling that either. ugh.
After stopping at two LBS, the wife's bike is now back in action, as is my hardtail. I do believe that hardtail will require some love soon, despite not riding it frequently is is quite entertaining when I do.
Working in the cold on metal parts parts in no bueno.
Use caution if doing it in the living room. I once ended up with a giant snot ball of slickoleum on my ceiling, while trying to pop the air shaft out of a Pike. That was hard to cleanup.
The dump next to one of our mtb trail systems has a 30 acre underground fire. They're calling it a hazmat situation and throwing around words like superfund and evacuation zone. Hoo boy what a mess.
One of my local trails is down the hill from a super fund site.
How close do the trails get to it?
Right up to the fence.
Technically a "former" superfund site. But it's still monitored.
Google "Moyer's dump"
We have excellent trails I've outlined in red. The orange section, well, shit got weird over there https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Susana_Field_Laboratory
How the hell did that happen?
Whoa, that was a weird sleep, had a dream about big Diamond Pythonin the back yard, then somebody putting sand in my camera body, woke up a 5;30 and relaized I forgot to top a diff up at work then woke up at 6:30 with the Captain Planet theme song in my head.
Seattle "recycling" company bought the limited purpose landfill and proceeded to night dump as much west side garbage as possiblr before regulators caught wind...
Had final project closeout presentation today that was supposed to take 15 minutes but went almost two hours. Basically got grilled by a bunch bulky executives who tried to second guess everything I did. I stood my ground and successfully defended my work and at the end everyone seemed happy. Except maybe the guy who I told to stop using the word AI, because he clearly didn't know what it means.
Friend from out of town cruised his boat up to Seattle, heading downtown for shenanigans.
Pray for me, these nights tend to get out of control.

Rode there last year on our way out west. It’s actually a super cool area. I actually enjoyed the trails, although not techy, there is some mileage. Kind of like riding SW. parkup was nice as well. Have fun.
Uh, how did the underground fire start.
You know, heat, flame, spark, accelerants, miscreant children, aliens….
One lithium battery?
Thank god today is finally over. What should have been an easy uneventful day turned spicy when my trailer brakes had a whoopsie 2.5hrs from home. FML.
Bring on the weekend.
Accidentally a new 38’ hopper trailer.

Caught a wicked case of food poisoning or a stomach flu yesterday evening, and spent most of the night in the bathroom. 0/10. Took a sick day.
Bikes were ridden. Jumps were sent. Legs were bowed. Bars were turrned.
Also bought a wood splitter today. Gonna go run a couple of rounds through it.

lulz. forecast for the hills next week points to skipping work...lows in 50s highs in 70s, sunny...Finished swapping to the warm weather wheelset on the car.
Chance of snow Monday night, of course.
Good question. When it was just construction debri there wasnt enough bio activity to spontaneously combust. The "recycling" company though dumped all sorts of straight trash and likely didn't compact it enough to push the oxygen out, allowing the biology in the trash to thrive, heat up, and catch fire.
Been snowing quite earnestly down here for about an hour. Too warm for much accumulation, which frankly is okay by me
