It's Saturday. Why am I up?
- Thread starter stoney
- Start date
The Philadelphia Symphony does this all the time at SPAC (Saratoga Performing Arts Center)! This summer is The Princess Bride and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Did not realize that last night's concert was not just music of Indiana Jones, but was infact the symphony playing the film score during a showing of Raiders of the Lost Ark. That was super fun.
Kid to violin, household shit to do. Seder dinner at a friend's tonight. I have to make the Kugel.
My brother's birthday celebration is today since his birthday is the 26th and we are booked the weekend prior and after. Giant cake made (chocolate cake with a dark chocolate ganache filling and fluffy peanut butter frosting); 8lbs of meatloaf prepped; potatoes sliced and ready to roast and brussel sprouts prepped to be cooked in bacon/onions/garlic. Now I am ready to take the dog out for a quick run to burn off some energy before the family arrives for the festivities.
Also, egg decorating will happen soon!
Feels good to get up and get everything done so I can relax and play cards with my mom when she arrives.

Today's hero dirt may have been the finest surface I have ever ridden. I am shocked I still have side knobs.
Apparently I am no longer "the chelito who rides with Alberto" but simply "hijo de puta," at least around where the good bermed-up twisty singletrack is.
This bike is, again, specfuckingtacular. I kinda need my new hardtail to show up and keep me honest, because the Canfield is just too efficient. Doesn't even climb poorly.
And I have had spectacular luck with Michelin Wild Enduros (bummed from @HAB no less). I wanna get back to trying Maxxis' most recent Assegai/dissector or DHR combo but these things just keep holding on for me.

@HAB has yet to let me down with his tire recommendations
I would put in the no context thread but it really defies that, in that it's not out of context.

I see you honor color coordination. Nice job!
If you didn't already have what is possibly the most spectacular custom title on RM, this would make a good second.
When we were kids and addicted to Playstation, my dad ripped it out of the wall in front of us and took a hammer to it.
Food for thought.
Eh I had unfettered access to Atari/TV [non-cable*]/Apple IIe growing up, and look how [well] ROUND[ed] I turned out 
Arguing over the laptop/tablet and/or put down your book and get ready for school accounts for 95% of "parenting" with our little guy [11]
He has no self-control, my wife prefers non-stop nagging, I prefer good cop routine and trying to work on letting him set his own limits but of course neither work.
~16 yo can't hear us above her headphones so she's free range these days.

I do NOT want to get into a parenting discussion on ridemonkey, but we like to give our kids autonomy and it usually pays dividends. Aside from this situation, my kids are generally not screen addicted and are just as happy doing other things. I’ve seen a lot of “screen-free” kids that can’t handle being around a tv for a moment without being totally glued to it, so that approach scares me. My son couldn’t really care less about cartoons if there’s somebody to play with, but obviously my daughter might need some additional rules or restrictions.Your kid gets the choice? Mine does nottv/ipad is also limited to 30-60 min/day. Makes things go much more smoothly.
I was just disappointed that she had no interest in adventuring, regardless of what she was doing instead.
1) Neighborhood egg hunt with kiddos
2) New/first glove for older son for tee ball (and lob wedge for dad)
3) Helped @Adventurous move a loveseat in
4) Pressure washed all the things
5) Now 1/2lb burgers, garlic & cheese sausages and beer

How shit is jaw pain? Because I am fat and old I have sleep apnea, I tried an anti-snore mouthguard and took the instructions as silly suggestions and my jaw was hurting for close to a month.
I ended up trying to get put on my own as much as possible at work so I didn't have to talk.
I believe it was discussed in length in post #36.
Try some soft/ultra soft Magic Mary in the front and thank me later.
I dig your new Balance!
Did you get your John Deere yet?
Spent some time in my friend's wood shop. Pretty nice setup. Fixed my mom's table. On the plus side for today.
Bought a plastic shed at Costco figuring since lumber is so damn expensive it would save some time over building and probably save a few bucks too. Fought that POS for 4 hours, threw it back in the box and returned it. Great way to waste a Saturday.
Gotta draw up some plans and buy some lumber I guess? Too bad tomorrow is a bullshit bunny based holiday or fail and nothings open.

Haley went out in the "shifter" karts today. Full auto mode. She was struggling to control it though. Dropped her second fastest time to date in a kart she was struggling with controlling. Not going to put her into one again until she gets the standard adult karts under control.
Sadly, no. With the recent strike and the whole supply chain shortages thing, tractors are hard to come by.Did you get your John Deere yet?
The search continues.
