Covid restrictions are coming back more and more. Now we are back to masks again. On the positive side Christmas arrived yesterday lights, decoration and tree is up and I got a bottle of good port wine in my advent calendar

5 day weekend was great, back to work today, not so much.

 

[canadmos]

And to top it off, our junior team member is going to his homeland for pretty much the entire month of December. So now I have to deal with the bullshit that usually gets assigned to him.

 

[Jozz]

Need to go buy some SPD cleats for the fartbike boots, and some UST valves. Work might happen, but will be kept to a minimum.

MIL came home all worked up because the following letter to the editor appeared in our town newspaper.

She was already launching into one of those "what is this world coming to" diatribes.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Coffee nao.

I guess she hasn't read a good book since 1983?
So, what was in those letters anyway?

 

[Nick]

Back to work.

Such a great visit with family and some friends back in the old country.
I feel like I have a roadtrip hangover. That's a lot of drive time.

I want breakfast.

FYI, Best buy and DJI refresh will not cover "lost" or "theft", Since recovering the drone from 200'+ of water is unlikely I will have to bite the bullet on a new one while shopping for broken ones.

I hope my pairing for secret santa has some tough skin and a sense of humor......

 

[Sandwich]

woke up with a killer headache. Wanted to start strength training this week but fuck that. brain hurts. more fight picking last night. This is getting tired.

Ironically, she reads all the damn time, but it's always some sort of period piece about something or another. Beet farmers, fabric weavers, there's no end to the seemingly mundane that authors out there can craft a story around.

 

[Toshi]

Hello all. Half day from home and then errands galore

Does she belong to the "back in my day" book club?

 

[jonKranked]

Funeral for a neighbor this morning.

Going to need to once we move out. She's already depressed about our departure, even though it's like 4 months away.

I read that in the voice of hypertensive pre-diabetes.

 

[sunringlerider]

Alive, and moderately awake. Up at 4 to haul more beans before setting in my office. LED lights and coffee are a lifesaver.
The Mrs told me I needed to chill and Gtfo for a weekend as I’ve been busy and stressed for two months. So heading to NC for the weekend to pedal. She’s a keeper.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Supposedly, someone's coming today to diagnose the misbehaving heat pump in the new shop. Also looking at a house that my sister's considering purchasing.

Where in NorCack ?

Where in NorCack ?

Staying in Waynesville. Riding in the Pisgahish area. Haven’t 100% decided where to head and was unsure on flood/trail damage.

Waynesville is a little further out from Le Pisgah but hotels are super cheap. Call the Hub or Sycamore Cycles for trail conditions.

Wife’s family has a “cabin” in the hills west of town, so it’s free.99. Ya, figured I’d hit up the Hub. I’m curious how mellowed out Black Mountain is.

 

[rideit]

Word is don’t bother, ride something steeper instead.

 

[maxyedor]

Goddamnit, spent 3 days in the desert and my sinuses, ears, and lungs cleared out all the snot and I felt fantastic. Back to civilization and feel like complete ass again. Think I'll move to the desert and just become a weirdo who lives in a trailer rent free on BLM land.

i thought it was a onion rip off...

 

[roflbox]

time to scream into the void, sounds like a day back at work after a break

my post break calmness lasted ~45 mins into the work day

 

[Sandwich]

man, I need a good void to scream into.

 

[roflbox]

man, I need a good void to scream into.

I highly suggest a good pillow, the garage is nice too.

 

[roflbox]

Have been on the hunt for the forbidden fruit, a FZJ80
but so have others, and the prices have kept going up

Well that’s depressing.

 

[stoney]

Here. Planning and practicing my part of our RFP sales final presentation. Man, it's gonna be a biggie and I haven't done something like this in 10 years.

Talked to contractor about MIL's condo and we agree that there is about $30-40k we can easily scrub from the current estimate. Basically removing a lot of the expensive parts of the design and going to "it's a fucking rental; there's a budget" and getting Wifey to follow. That changes the math. A lot. Need to talk with CPA and bounce some numbers of a couple CFPs I work with to make sure I'm not missing anything.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Zero motivation today. Attempt at nap number two was interrupted. Unacceptable.

Today I'm glad I'm not @stoney.

Only today???

 

[jstuhlman]

Well that’s depressing.

maybe still ok if you go all the way from the top. but it's nothing like the old classic middle section. i'd stick to bennett. or spencer/trace. or laurel/pilot. or check out kanuga bike park. or maybe the fire mountain trails if you'r out that way? i hear there's also some good stuff up near hot springs (paint rock trails?)

weather's gonna be great!
