Windy as shit in Lexington KY. Guess I brought WY with me. Wife was batching at me that the side of the dinette that her crap was on was wet. I asked her if she had checked to see if something in one of her packs had leaked. Her reply was unlike you I tighten the caps on all my stuff. I said check them anways. Minute later" found it, cap was loose on a bottle of make up remover. I grabbed a beer and went for a walk.

Here. Spent the morning dealing with Google for Wifey's phone. Hannah was so incredibly horrible while we were at the race, that as a means of transiting the "I'm going to throw you off the deck" energy, Wifey's phone was sacrificial. I can only imagine how bad she was to push wifey that hard... So, Wifey has a new phone coming, but through a comedy of errors, we can't get her phone number swapped over to one of the old phones. So, she has Haley's phone for the next few days. Needless to say, both want me to fix it NOW.

We also might be getting a small trailer now, so that we can take Hannah to the track with us. That's how much she pissed Wifey off... I might be getting a trailer.
sounds like hannah has figured out which parent is the pushover

It’s not easy of course and I get the full blame because I took the initiative but I think the boys will understand but it will be shitty until house is sold and we are fully separated.


my younger brother got the house payment in his divorce.

the witch got the landcruiser and the dogs.

i hope shit goes easy for you.

San Salvador to Lahore is a genuinely shitty routing. And a biz class upgrade was a cool 2k for just one leg sooooo misery all round.

Surprisingly the worst part of it all is connecting in Toronto.

Staying in good terms is the key for the boys.
Hang in there.

Is she hangry or is she just an ornery lady? :D

The trash bag I've taken to "help her clean up" when she doesn't after being told multiple times has generally righted that issue every few months when she wants to push it. I think Wifey has finally hit my FTS/no more limit.

A 74y/o mil who might as well be 85 doesn't fit that role, unfortunately. I told wifey to just call the neighbor next time, because they will send the girls over or give her a break. We've done it before too.

Debating going to Ventura to see Cattle Decapitation on Friday. It’s a bit of a drive and I’ve got Saturday plans so it’s not looking great.

Might be driving to Phoenix at the end of the month to see Messer Chups. I’ve got a few extra days to kill, so if anyone has suggestions for Phoenix adjacent activities, I’m listening.

hahaha, it'll be a couple of hours each way, but maybe I can throw my bike on the back or something. It would be a hassle but I have a soft spot for homeygrowns

go buy it and I'll get you repaid through the onlyfans account you create for it with weekly pr0n updates

If it were here or he'd ship it that's one thing but I'm not going to ask you drive that far just to get it.....especially this time of year when riding ain't the best. Thanks a ton for the offer though, much appreciated.

Then why not go for the `98 paintjob? Much nicer IMO.
Like this one: https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/schwinn-homegrown-factory-team-tomato-usa-retro-vintage-rh-53cm/2593458658-217-7964
This with the red/gold paintjob would be seriously tempting.

Careful of Mt. Lion after it has snowed... :D
Go do a Longhorn, perfect conditions up there. ML "could" still have slick snow conditions as @SkaredShtles suggested, although it's only 8850ft at the top so who knows.
it was snowy!

oh wait, that was only on 500' or so of Snowshoe Hare

Mountain Lion looked like this:

I chose wisely(tm). well, except for running out of electrons (part charge at start as I dropped it off after my RR/DR ride Thursday for the wheel). but that was fine, too. penance.
