Hello all, I hope today isn’t one of the worst days of my life, I’ll discuss more soon. In the meantime, coffee me NOW
Fry-Day…Does That Mean Donuts?
- Thread starter rideit
- Start date
poured all night, radar shows one more blast of rain then clearing for the weekend at around noon today.
17 transports on my run sheet but all of them are nearby so no biggie. Wish I wasn't doing an EMT standby all weekend as I bet the steelhead will be running

The older and fatter I get the less I enjoy kneeling, was pretty stoked the the cylinder head was already off.
I had a mostly cruisy day and the customers I did see were all really nice.
However, some retired fuckwitt had two emloyees tied up at the bolt shop trying to work out a bolt size for a 1970's Japanese RC plane's muffler, I wanted to slap the boomer out of him.

Friday is Champagne 
Wfh and I feel so amazing today with the stitches gone. They were super painful at the end in the cut on the pelvis.

We're in BRUHTOWN, baby! Population - YOU GUYS! So somebody on my Boston Marathon bus tested positive for the China Flu, so I scheduled myself a test tomorrow and will work from home today. I was going to go into work but my boss told to stay home if I wanted and I was all like TWIST MY ARM. I feel fine...no symptoms.
Morning Monkeys.
Fritter Friday indeed. Woke up at 2 with a splitting headache, cold sweats at 2:30, puked at 3, have been sweating and puking since. Managed to get the pups fed and walked, now I'm trying to drink coffee and not puke. Good times.

Slickoil Ti water bottle cage bolts arriving today so that's the highlight of my day. I am done with this week - and the week may well be done with me. Trail work tomorrow + ugly weather on Sunday == pissy wife in 3 .. 2 .. 1 ...
Going through one of the most stressful things in my life today, wish me luck. But it's nothing compared to civilians trying to leave Ukraine or things like that.
Ok boys, here goes. I was supposed to fly to Lima yesterday for my best friends wedding. Little did we know, they changed the COVID requirements to enter Peru, they need documentation of the booster shot. This changed since we booked. No problem, I got boosted in October.
But the pharmacy that I got my shot at forgot to update my booster documentation, and just gave my card back to me.
There was no way to get ahold of them as it was 6:00 AM, the flight would leave before they opened. So my wife and kiddo got through, I did not.
I got my proof in IF from the Savon there, ok, we are on again! Get to the airport at 5:30 AM, and they caught the discrepancy, we had to get a regional manager to override it. OK, fine. Yesterday I asked the pimply faced kid to rebook my flight for today. Great! But apparently he forgot to rebook the DFW -Lima leg, so we had to get another regional manager override. OK, finally got that sorted out.
Then wifey messaged me that Peru requires that you travel more than six months before your passport expiration date. We are off by five days. She has incredible attention to detail, and missed this. They let them in last night, but she warned me to just play dumb, friendly, English only tourist when I get there at 1:00 am tomorrow. The wedding is at 11:00 am tomorrow, 4 hours from Lima.

Yeesh... passport *and* COVID shenanigans?
And a solid fuckup by American! SQEEB, YOU OWE ME
"we know you had a choice in airlines, and you chose poorly"
That reminds me, I need to renew my passport.

Work just got all worky on me in the past few days. Not a fan, guys, not a fan at all.
Otherwise, I slept like garbage and am still hacking stuff up. Good times.

Tacos last night. Saw a buddy who popped in from out of town. Talked for a couple of hours and had a drink.
Morning me is lacking motivation.

Treat it like a one night stand.
Pulled soft tissue between a pair of ribs this week. All the pains and none of the mobility.
Coffee, work, and then shop work later.
Fuckin' beat me to it.

Wait I thought you were buying a new truck, don't you always get fucked when buying new?
Jeeps and subarus are the vehicle of choice here in the PNW, right now new is cheaper than used with the used market being upside down with inventory. Some dealers are selling at MSRP or below just to move inventory instead of price gouging like the rest of the dealers
So I spent my morning at the childrens hospital. My son had a follow-up x-ray for his broken scaphoid (still broken), and got a new fibreglass cast on. He's happy caus' it's orange, and he got the last roll of orange in the 'body shop'. TIL that the scaphoid is a complicated bone to heal, I guess because it doesn't get as much blood supply as other bones. It can take 8-10 weeks (over the usual 5-6). So he has a second follow-up appointment in another month. 
when I got home, my coffee grinder was too gummed up to grind my coffee fine enough for my espresso. So I had to take it apart to clean it out. But the last time I did that, I cross threaded the fucker when reassembling it. I had to take it to a coffee repair shop, that wound up sending it to a machine shop that actually spot welded a bar to the top burr to dislodge it. It was stressful when I started threading it back together again today... but I gott'er done, and just had my afternoon shot. I'm still going to replace that pig as soon as I can. it's noisy AF, doesn't grind fine enough, and is a bitch to clean. the grinder I have my eyes on won't be available till end of July though.
on the plus side, daytime nookie.

Can't say I have ever been to a Cuban Restaurant. Played it safe and got a Cubano Sandwich. Roast Pork, Ham, Pickles, Some kind of Juice, Plantains, a bunch of other stuff too. A small is whole loaf of bread. Came with a side of Beans and Rice for $8. I had the Colodo too. I will be back. Oh my. So good!
Congrats on discovering a Cuban restaurant. Wait until you have had a Cuban breakfast with scrambled eggs and rice. Ooooh mah gawd...
