I think they are some kind of sales event for the greeting card industry.
What are these "holidays" you speak of?
We'll, it's 'family day' in some parts of Canada. It's not a day off from work, so I have to book a day. Decided to cram in a bunch of appointments for the kids, so I can use sick leave instead of vacation...
Grim and grey here. It wouldn't have been a great day to spend outside anyways...

I thought it was Mattress Sales Day in freedumland?
Surprised to not wake up in Kansas with the wind outside overnight, hopefully I'll continue not inhabit the flatlands through today.

New bike arrived and everything looks like its in good shape. Still debating if I should upgrade wheelset to something lighter but same width. Current is 1890g with tape so on the porky side and with some inhouse hubs. I have never been disappointed with a wheel upgrade and better to sell the one on the bike before I start riding the bike.
Morning Monkeys.
Should get an offer today, so I got that going. My welding was meh yesterday. My welds aren't bad, but stuff doesn't fit.
Mock up pieces, check fit, tack, recheck fit, weld, doesn't fit.
Tack pieces while on the part, weld, doesn't fit.
Build cage around box, take box out, can't get box back in.

You need a bigger hammer to help the parts fit.Morning Monkeys.

Here. President's Day is a bank holiday, so I'm "off" today. That's just theoretical, as I have a large presentation (the data) due to my manager at eod tomorrow and I don't have time to do it tomorrow, so today while the girls are home. They are ruined from yesterday, so I'm not expecting much from the today anyways.
Present. Digging the new bed. Wife woke up with pinkeye, so my day off is now dad duty. Not gonna hit the climbing gym today. Supposedly a school thing at sky zone, we'll see about going. Was gonna try to ride since it's supposed to be 60, but might be relegated to the trainer.
As did I
I missed this. Basement flood?
you chose to be a semi kept man....
went by the parents...
moms needs to wear glasses more often...
her foot cream and face cream bottles look similar....
guess which she put on her face....
atleast she thought it was funny....
is tankless a option...
and i heard....
the road ray nathans is on is due to start being expanded to 4 lanes some time this year....
might disrupt some shit....
ahhhhhhI did not know that you could put 26" wheels on this bike. Awesome upgrade, can recommend.
alternately if you're looking to decarbonize a bit then there are a bunch of heat pump water heaters on the market now.
yeah, we're probably going to go that route if we need to replace; it didn't let go from the bottom, seems like maybe a valve at the top is clogged...plumber should be here tomorrow to check it out.
Rolled in at 12:10 last night. 17 hours towing a trailer. Stupid grocery store closes at 12 so I couldn’t get milk. I need to grab a coffee and off to the office. But it’s sunny for now, supposed storm on the way. I wanna ride my bike later but my buddy wants me to dig holes with the backhoe. Having friends is hard sometimes.
There was never a thread about the Turkey/Syria quake, just mention in the random picture thread.
You'd be surprised to walk outside and discover this is what's become of your olive grove in the morning...
edit: It's such a shame about all of those olive trees no longer being viable
(I realize there's a massive death toll overall and this particular chasm impacts livelihoods)

I’ve looked all over the house for my motivation but can’t seem to locate it. Perhaps it’s hiding in the woods. I shall investigate.
Oof another quake just hit there.

Turkey earthquake: Deadly new tremor traps people under rubble
At least six people die in new tremors, weeks after massive quakes devastated the same region.

Hey bitches
Kids can’t leave the hospital yet so I am back in the chair, assuming the position. Couldn’t get a ride this morning as boomers gonna boomer, but at least we have help with the big kid. Slept like 9 hours, but dinner was a salt bomb so it wasn’t super restful. At least our roommate is gone, for now

That sucks all around. What does "Dover was a salt bomb" mean, though?
oh yeah, the post in the roadie forum reminded me, getting my new TT bike up and running is killing me. Turns out I need a new stem as the vendor changed the mold, so the new bars won't fit the old stem I have. Not the end of the world, but I'm ready to throw in the towel if it needs anything else.
