In a van.... down by the river
I ate way too much cheese last night......

Fingers crossed that I don't shit my pants at work.


the only place i like cheese is on pizza


A buddy of mine used to fly B2s. they have 3 flight computers all with flash memory. they( the computer) crash alot and need to be rebooted . He said that the plane cannot be flown manually as its too unstable. protocol is that if two have gone down and cannot be re booted you land immediately with the co pilot having his hand on the ejectors. If all three computers fail, within 3 seconds the plane will tumble out of control and the g forces will prevent the pilots from reach the ejector controls. My guess is that they were down to one flight computer
Thanks, Clavin.

@Sandwich Im glad your kid is doing better and getting the care he needs. Thinking happy thoughts for the little dude.

Changed a car tire inner tube last night with old school levers. Thank FSM for tubless almost everything.

Cashed out my Growth fund to pay off my house, My grandpa set it up when i was a baby, so its gone up quite a bit since then. Maybe 900-1000 %. Maybe its the wrong time maybe its the right time, but its time. Thanks @stoney

Just spent the last 6 days riding bikes and drinking beer with friends in some of the better riding spots here in Tasmania.
Now I have to adult again and I can’t say I’m enjoying it.

Had to reblock the same cheater lines, again.

Hmmm. At least the bastard(s) didn't move the logs and crud to the actual trail this time...savages.

thanks homies for the kind thoughts. you guys are great even if you are on the internet.

kid has RSV for the second time. has had trouble breathing for the past 48h or so, and nothing seemed to help so we ended up at the hospital. nothing helped there so they decided to move us to a downtown boston hospital where they would have more resources and specialists. My boy got his first ride in a helicopter (and I think mine too) but he slept through most of it. he's done OK and is likely going to be fine, but it's nothing if not terrifying and I can't wait for the bill (we do have adequate insurance).

my apologies for the lack of wingdings, not sure how to do those on an android and I certainly didn't GAF next to my boys gurney at 7 this morning :D
Fucking RSV. That's some scary shit.

welcome! what's Tasmania like?
Thanks!

Tassie is like the love child of Australia and New Zealand, similar to both in a lot of ways but a bit different.
Some great riding here with federal and state governments kicking in millions for MTB trails across the state, Derby and Maydena are getting some international exposure with the EWS.

It looks like half of your island is open space or Park. Post up some pictures of where you're riding sometime.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Read this anyway:
