I'll see what I can do about that tonight. Riding NTM with my lady after "work hours" if you wanna join... beers at NTB after. Also, any chance you have a working ~130mm travel, straight steerer tube, QT dropout, old-school fork kicking around? The rebound circuit on her fork shit the bed, looking for a replacement for permanent or even temporary while we get this one fixed.three ride

Oh no, I know but when i see some douche nozz bumping bass nectar from their pack out in the wilds it makes me cry for humanity & then i get a little angry.
Fuck. I just realized its only Thursday. >.<
100% accurate.
good meetings with a dealer and the heirs of a artist. now heading to the aeropuerto. hopefully time for a beer before boarding.
based on your dealing with art, I nominate you for the most cultured monkey

I went by one of my favorite Mexican places last night and picked up a pound of pork carnitas, made some pico de guy-o, and we made hogs out of ourselves....I regret nothing.bork
ended up eating the following last evening:
slightly undercooked broccoli (my doing), rice, tacos alpastor, ceviche, ice cream
Last few weeks of house addition. I get the irony of complaining about adding on to your house sucking, but there's definitely crappy aspects of it. Floors that have been all torn out finally going in, doors finally going on. Can't wait to just get back to semi normal life instead of a family of four being camped out in about 500 square feet.
Out. Studying until Sunday night, test Monday am, apply for new job Monday afternoon.
Some junky passed out on the sidewalk in front of my house for a few minutes. He seems to have abandoned all his worldly possessions. Some adult diapers, sweatshirt and a notebook with indecipherable writing. Such a glamorous lifestyle. I don't know why more people aren't into it.
Cypress Hill - black or Latin
And shit's been hot around here... so cold soup/stew FTW!
Man - made homemade ceviche for the 1st time last week. So easy and SOOOO good.bork

What's even more impressive is how green it is up there right now.
Worked on pump track, which is settling in very nicely.
Edit: Before we started work saw a kid riding the Haro BMX bike I gave to the local shop; it got to the kid because of broken bike and other complex crap. Made me happy.

Good ride today. Made it four miles in before little man decided to lose his shit in the trailer. Good climb, no hiking, Lega hate me.
So one thing this reminded me, we guys that are primarily down hill guys, never lose the drive to get our go fast on....... Even when we are on a Kona mahuna pulling a 45 pound child in a kiddy trailer........
My son may have gone airborne a few times.

Apparently I'm a dick for texting two buddies with "hey guys, great ride thanks for coming out".
First dude bailed in the afternoon, saying he was working. Which was kind of expected as he bails literally every time. Second dude asked me what time we are riding at 4:30pm and then left me hanging at the trail without even a message saying he wouldn't show up.
Oh well, their loss. Trails were halfway between dry and moist tonight. In other words, butt clenching carving here dirt.
Sometimes solo rides are the best rides anyways.

y u no trickstuffChange of plans. I didn't buy a new Canfield, I bought a pair of Hope E4s for the DHR instead.
I might actually have a fork, but it's going to be crappy. I think I spent $75 on it.
Internal. It's the analytical/product manager position and a few steps up the ranks. Our internal hierarchy defines it as a manager/professional level position. ie. We have A-L for seniority. L is entry, K is support, H is senior (which is my current), G is asst mgr/team lead, F is manager/professional, A is C-level; this position is F level. I will be wearing slacks again vs. jeans and a polo. This will be somewhat client facing, but very minimally.
internal move, or brave new world?
I've already talked to the Director and he's on board. The team is fully on board as well. The interview will be in large part a formality based on our prior conversations. The only question is whether HR and my manager/VP will be on board. You have to be in a position for >1yr to move to a new one without mgr approval, unless you stay within your business line. I'm at 9 months and this is out of business line. My current manager is lining up new positions within the business line for me though, so I think he knows I'm running out of gas doing what I'm currently doing, as it's changing quickly.
Internal because the 6 weeks of pto I will get in 18 months is hard to get elsewhere.
I talk on the phone to people about their investment accounts 8 hours per day currently. We're in a 9 year bull market. I'd like to get off this train please.
Wait...what do you know?
Markets are cyclical. We are 9 years into the second longest bull market in modern US history. Much of the recent market return has been on stock buybacks.Wait...what do you know?
From my observations:
People (older) are moving away from bonds into more aggressive investments because they are not yielding enough - ie people who should be, are not scared of risk.
I'm getting calls from people upset that their account is not up 15% halfway through the year, like it was last year - people's expectations for return are getting outlandish and unrealistic
On the above note, people upset that their account is possibly down 1-2% at any given point of the year. A normal year has 20+ >1% changes from the prior close and 13+ >2% (on the S&P500). Last year was a complete oddity; steady, non-volatile growth doesn't happen - we had NONE!
People are placated to the risk that is the market. I'm starting to see a lot of the "me too" people jumping in; people who got nuked in 2008 and went to cash/stable value funds. I'm not saying that the market will turn soon, because we don't know. But it will eventually and the primary owners of wealth in this country, once you get past the 1%, are retirees and people near it - it's just a matter of age. They do not have the ability to recover from their losses and a lot of Boomers already pushed retirement because of 2008. Look up endogenous risk to get a better understanding. I quite frankly want nothing to do with retail investors when the shit hits that fan.
i have a hard time feeling bad for boomers.
I don't disagree. No matter what happens though, we will end up cleaning up their messes.
A crash in the next few years would be great for me. My debt is at fixed rates and I could always refinance lower. Not selling the house any time soon and would love to pick up a place in the hills for cheap. Buying cheap when further from retirement is the way to do it.
But I’m not Nostradamus, so I’ll continue to show up at work and dollar cost average every month dutifully.

I'm not trading on this, I'm getting out from in front of a full bus coming down a mountain with brakes starting to smoke. I'd prefer to let someone else take that phone call.
A crash would be good for me as well, since I have no property...
