This should be a good end to the work week. Picking up keys to the house at 11am and bed is delivered later today. I will be amazing to sleep in my own damn house in my own damn bed.

Good morning Monkies! I hope everyone's extended weekend involves much awesome. 
FTS. Airports and stanby travel. Flights are fucked and I didn't sleep. Stressed out to the point of being sick to my stomach. This trip was bad. Friends are so busy we barely saw them, we had practically no time to do anything, didn't man-date with @mandown, totally forgot about @kazlx, and now I'm going to spend all fucking day probably not getting on an airplane.
None of this ever happens in Montana...

Good Morning!
9 more hours and then I morph into Traffic Ninja for the drive down to the coast for a little R & R with some 7 & 7's....although at my age, I'd be happy with 2 twos.....(ba-dum-dum pish!
)
It was another beautiful night to chill on the back patio. Had a few glasses of wine and listened to some tunes until the siren's song of the leftover pork lo mien in the refrigerator was too much to bear any longer.

lots of hydrocortizone cream stopped the itch of a thousand thistle spine punctures incurred in last nights OTB and down the hills ride wipe out. Other than some abrasions I came out surprisingly fine.
I need some coffee

That explains my midnight wake-up - to asleep to figure it out, too awake to sleep.Congrats Claus!

Here! There are currently wet dog footprints all over the hardwood and I don't really care.
Wifey has an offer for the job she wants, so she'll be going downtown to negotiate terms this afternoon. It won't be what she was making before, because that was California wage, but it will still be pretty damn good. Not new house good, but solid renovations good.
And... since we have a written offer that can't be taken off the table without a discrimination lawsuit, I can finally say it: Wifey's pregnant with round 2. This is also why time has become less of a concern with house projects vs. cost - babies are fucking expensive.
And most importantly, concert tonight! Fuck Yeah! Fuck the Man!
Hello, beautiful internet people. I had a good road ride last night. I ran this morning and combined the three types of running I hate most: Running in the morning, at the track, and in the pouring rain. I alternated one lap hard and one lap easy until I hit 4 miles. 6:59 avg pace. And now I will click the "post reply" button and go poop.
Testing testing — is this thing on?
Changed phone service carriers last night, and also got a hotspot device that I'll use in my office when I move in next week. Testing the speed of this little cellular-enabled bastard against the DSL-wired home service. This post is on my laptop, connected to the hotspot. So far, it's fast. Probably faster. Why does cable/DSL internet suck so much?
Also, went from a single device (phone) with a crippled (3GB) data plan for $65/month to 2 devices (phone+hotspot) and an unlimited data plan for $125. It'd be $25 less but I decided to bite the bullet and "rent-to-own" the phone instead of trolling Craig's List or some other damn thing for a new phone. I keep phones for a long time, in phone years, so the phone from my old carrier wouldn't work with the new one. Switched from AT&T to Verizon.

Okay... now THIS post is made from my laptop connected to my home service. Whatya guys think? Faster? Slower? Did anyone notice any difference?
Howdy all. I have decided that Red Rocks stadium seating is uncomfortable. Was fun to get out there and all but the Colorado Symphony Orchestra had a lot of substitutes and was pretty sloppy on some pieces.
This post was 2minutes ago, the other was 3 minutes ago. So I think that makes this one slower as it was later arriving?
This is the type of intelligent feedback and measured analysis I expect from Ridemonkey.
FWIW, this post is still on home internet... hotspot is doing an update. Then I'm going to rename the hotspot's network to something awesome.
The rain continues, but it's supposed to let up after tomorrow. I think any riding this weekend is going to be on the road bike.
Man did it pour last night. Lightning show was impressive!
right back at ya
@stoney dude! congrats!!
@Full Trucker where is your office?
Sold BOTH of those fantastic plastic Ibises, made a few bucks, tuning up the DHR today for hot laps tomorrow.

Golden near Cannonball for the next month or so, then moving to South Golden over by the post office. Basically renting a desk space from Why-von.

Morning. Early morning calls are followed for late morning call, to be followed by pre- and noon calls, to be followed by 4 days long weekend, yay!
I cannot wait for the moment when over the air data replace my expensive, arrogant FiOS services.
You know when you have a phrase stuck in your head that you can't quite get right and you can't get it out? In my case it's an indicator of a minor misfire and I've been having one since 6:30am. I'm dying here trying to sort it out and it's making my normal ability to think screwy.
Congrats Chewie! And yeah, you may as well take up woodworking.
Hello and happy freakin' Friday peoples. I assume both us Canaderps and Muricans have a long weekend, this weekend. If so, may there be many fireworks (plz not after 12am), beer(s) and ride(s).
I can report that it is still raining here. The weather peeps are saying there is an 80% chance of precipitation tomorrow as well.
Big ride scheduled for tomorrow morning. Should be fantastic.

Backpacking trip nailed down. Weather looks like it should be aces (sunny, mid-60's).
Now... the wildcard will be how much snow remains... and how it will affect the "plans."

Rain is pissing me off. Riding and fishing plans are getting jacked because of it. Eating and drinking plans will not change.
wish I was going to OBX with @jstuhlman and wondering wehre on the NC coast @Greyhound is going?

Rehearsal went well, last night. This weekend's performance should be exciting.
Hernia reminded me not to lift heavy things, until after they gut me like a fish, next week.

Good and bad. Rode last night, so that was good. Mother F'ers bulldozed one of my most favoritest sections on a ridge. Gone, flat. I mean, I think technically it is a fire road, but it's been the same way since I've started riding. Goodbye rock features, goodbye high speed drops, goodbye fun. It's bullshit.
On that note, leave for Whistler a week from tomorrow and will be there for two weeks with the family. That mildly soothes my sorrow.

Fridaygmft, (watching) racing tomorrow morning, hoping to pedal bikes today
Morning Monkeys.
So yesterday I am at Grocery Outlet picking up some breakfast items and I see a new item among the other crap.
Seemed like SUCH a great idea. So I grab a box ($1.99) and head home. I get home and open the box, and they seem a bit wrecked. I look at the front of the box and see the "Keep frozen", these were on a shelf with the donuts and fruit pies.
No idea ho long these have been defrosted. Should be good, Twinkies are legit, right?

Father and brother's family visiting for the long weekend. By visiting I mean in they will be in same town I live in. Found out through my dad that my brother will be travelling with his 80+ year old country club type in-laws.
Nope, not dealing with that bullshit. Plan on hanging with the pops then I may make a few appearances with the larger group but I refuse to play host, not to mention I have no fucking clue what to do with those people.

The office hens are currently fawning over an infant grandchild one of them brought in and I'm all like "yeah great."
I never cared much for little kids, but I adore mine. The whole being your crotch-spawn makes the difference, unless you're a post-menopausal woman in which case you fawn over every ugly little baby.
Tell them they can camp out on top of your carport.
I guarantee someone will make the comment of how I could have gotten a much bigger house in __________.
Kirkegaard says to dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself. This whole project moving to Denmark sure has made me loose my footing a couple of time but I hope and believe it will be a good move for me and the family and that we find ourselves even more.
I don't know. Blob of baby is never cute. Functional little person at about 1 is when we get there.
