My biggest problem with these office days in that people want to stop by my office and talk to me. I don't get that at home. God dammit. Hair Nation on the SiriusXM was on fire during the drive in tho.
hello!
I will try to ride in to the office tomorrow for the first time. Should be easy enough, traffic is bad these days and the EEB is ready to go. There are no traffic laws in waltham so I can just cut through everything

do a wheelie the entire way. bonus points for flipping the bird to drivers stuck in traffic
I wouldn't be the only one. Mighty tempted to buy a surron and just YOLO my SWAG, but there are actual laws in civilized country and I don't want to get arrested. Shockingly difficult to legalize those, even as a motorcycle. Got the bug for an eMoto, mostly to save gas and because my commute is mostly low-speed twisties now.
Ate a granola bar which means I now have a continuous stream of granola coming from between my teeth to snack on till lunch.

Hot and dry at here. We could use a drink.
Need to be fairly productive today, we’ll see about that.
Ate something yesterday that my bottom is yelling about today. Should be a “fun” day.
slept like absolute dog shit, after maybe 13 hours of work. WTF am I even doing.?have a great day peoples.
I tell newbie thru hikers not to worry about the crumbs in their beards if they stay in a shelter because the mice will take care of them.
do you tell them not to worry about the ticks in their beards either?
back at it after narrowly escaping disaster yesterday, hopefully, the difficult, nerve-wracking stuff is over. supposed to rain, I hope the soil holds up and I can find a roller soon.
That's kind of their business model. They have "showrooms"
Saw one of the cyber truck abominations in the wild recently. Fucking hideous. The 80s called and wanted their shitty designs back.
Hi there Monkeys,
Back to the cube farm after a holiday, all emails were addressed, everything is golden.

Wife's favourite new game when we're driving is who shouts trashcan first when spotting one of them.
Here. Soccer for Hannah tonight. Working.
Wifey and I had a pretty extensive talk about karting.
The KA Sr racers started posting videos as fingers were being pointed and it was pretty clear that the first bad crash & flip in the heat was caused by the older guys who showed up to race the track. That pushed a normally sound group of 20-ish 15-23 y/o's who always race each other into 30 with 10 new racers who haven't been on track in years. They should have been in a separate class KA Masters because there were enough of them. The video of the flip hitting the corner worker, more info coming out that he was clearly poorly placed, was facing the wrong direction, and is okay with just* a couple of broken ribs helped. And knowing that the driver was fine; they only took him because he wasn't ejected - because he hit the corner worker - started to solidify how absolutely fucking bizarre and abnormal that was.
We talked about risk and how I've been doing everything to put her into mitigated risk situations including changing her class, already planning on moving out of this league next year, moving to a class that will keep her at the same speed but a full-sized chassis (even though it means a new motor), and then racing a Natl series that only has four races with a class that hasn't been larger than 25 in a couple of years. Plus that even if she does eventually end up in KA Sr, she will have 4-5yrs of outdoor racing, plus 2yrs of indoor, plus 2-3yrs at the national level, let alone that she is within .3sec of a multi time Natl podium placer, makes it pretty clear that she will be more than ready with tons of experience to race at that level. *IF* she is still racing at that point.
She had a long conversation with Haley, largely about safety. I don't know much about the substance of it. But it sounds like Haley just reiterated what I've already said. She doesn't take unnecessary risks, which is why we (me and coaches) are spending time on passing now.
She's still not comfortable with it, but it sounds like karting is happening. Now to figure out the kart and motor for next year. And get her more involved with Greg, Kyle, Cesar, etc. so that she understands how much support and focus on her and safety is really there.

/me was traffic for an hour. driving to Highlands Ranch. have to do this a week from today as well (usually out here ~1x/mo). I do not like being traffic
Bought a NiteRider Lumina 1200 Boost 'cause my light collection has dwindled. Sushi for lunch, not sure what I will be doing after.
let me know how you like the new lightBought a NiteRider Lumina 1200 Boost 'cause my light collection has dwindled. Sushi for lunch, not sure what I will be doing after.
Dude what kind of barbarian do you think I am?
Charmin Ultra soft and a few baby wipes are kept in my truck for “emergencies”.
i ride with a bandana. usually just use it as a sweat wipe, but it has other purposes in a pinch.
no portable bidet a la the through hiking life?! (I do not have one. perhaps I should. I do cart a quarter roll of Charmin in a plastic baggie within my pack when biking, though. haven't needed it in many years, but ya never know.)
Morning Monkeys.
