Last day of four day MTB weekend. I has tireds. I made our crew go out for ice cream last night, although they did not fight me on it.
So. Fucking. Humid. How do people live here? Wifey was asking me why one needs more than one shower and more than one pair of underwear per day... ball sweat, honey. Ball sweat.
Science museum today. At least it's indoors.

It's cheaper than Denver?
Present. Accomplished a lot yesterday: trimmed tomatoes, installed string lights on the deck, and mowed lawn. Fresh ground burgers were a success. Buddy brought the new gal he's seeing over to meet us. She's nice. Huge improvement over his ex wife, but that's not a high bar to clear. Drank a bunch and chatted a few hours. Thankfully not ball sweating heat.
Gonna do some more chores today. Building a ceiling storage rack in the garage.

Talking w/ FIL and it doesn't sound like too far off. Sales tax is high and food is taxed. Property tax is high. No income tax, but largely offset by above. Energy is cheap (because that Socialist TVA - but don't talk about that), but ends up costing around the same because the AC is on full time. House maintenance is high because of never-ending moisture.
Vs. California and NYC? Yes, it's cheaper. Vs. Denver? Eh... not so much.
Nashville also sucks compared to denver. And anywhere else with civilization.
Medora ND picked up, going home.
I will not challenge said statement. Wifey is super excited to go out to and see shows. I'm fucking ecstatic about going to local country shows. The things we do...
Morning, slept like a brick. Pleasant 65 right now going up to a lovely 97 which beats the shit out of the past three days which have been around 107. Repair day around the house and then set the camper up to head out after work on Thursday to go work a 3 day horse show out by Sacramento. Might go to Bass Pro today to pick up some more flies and leaders
52 degrees here, sure doesn’t feel like it’s getting up to 92 degrees. I have a theory that the smoke haze is keeping the temperature down, but I don’t know for sure.
As a hopelessly romantic space exploration dork, I have to ask.
WTF was that? Dear lord, just tax the bejesus out of these New Gilded Age, rocketship dickwavers already.
Driving through the cancer gauntlet at Judith Gap, en route to the K-M Scouts ranch in far eastern MT (West Dakotas) with the (not so) little guy.
Brought the bike hoping to check out their //////private trail when not working, for my first dirt of summer.

Have kids they said, it'll be fun they said.
Fucking liars...

Rode 13 miles today to bring my four day Kingdom Trails total to 90.5 miles. Old Baboon would have ridden half the miles and spent the rest of the time drinking beer. I like this version better.
Built some ceiling mount storage racks for the garage to improve organization. My daughter helped me, which was actually pretty cool. When moving stuff around, we pulled out the old balance bike. She commented that she doesn't need it anymore now that she has a big kid bike. I asked if we should sell it and she said yea. Definitely makes me a little sad to think that both my kids are done with it. The Burley trailer is probably getting close to the end of us needing it.
It was actually EUFA and Italy won. Yay. (Shows how much of a shit I give about football.)
Wifey and I just did 18 miles up at Golden Gate Canyon. So many rawks. 
Made it to within 1.5 miles of the finish when I stuffed a wheel on a tight, rocky switchback and went down on my thigh/shin/hand. Now my goddam hand hurts...

Spent the fucking day repairing the camper. now wifey is pissed that I didn't go do the horsey thing with her. Of course I would catch shit from her for not doing the repair in a timely fashion either....only way to win is to not play ..... but its 22 years to late for that choice.
Still better than gold plated marine vehicles.
You misspelled BOOOOO
Went for a ride, surprised I didn't see anyone else. Thermometer in the car read 108 degrees when I got back, perhaps that explains it. Was actually nice at elevation and I started the climb before it was too hot.
dh followed by grilling and beers at friends' house. we chilled on the porch while the kiddos watched knives out, which they liked. i think the video filming i'm supposed to do tomorrow got cancelled, which would be cool as i'm kinda sunburned from riding today...
Busy day.
Got up early and worked.
Got in argument/fight with girlfriend.
Fixed that and we went and rode some DH for a few hours.
Checked phone as we're leaving and saw a critical problem someone was having at work. Came home and worked MOAR until 11pm. Fixed.
Ate dinner.
And now... ?
