Good night!
Work week over! Had my fair share of beers, somehow Vietnam has the best BBQ ribs I think I have ever had, and a sweaty walk home that was filled with the money lust of prostitutes. What more could one ask for?

Agreed that is strange. I had some damn fine ribs in Beijing.
I got meshed-up on both sides for an inguinal hernia several years ago, and now I've got an abdominal hernia that I've got to get worked on. Makes me look like I've got an "outie"
Fixed that for me.
And from there they go to won't-listen-little-tantrum-throwing-asshole. Which hopefully subsides once they leave for college.
You need to make a little cardboard "Fuck You" sign on a stick and keep it in your hand during all conversations... at the ready.

no, ty
No long weekend for me, so much cluster fuckery with my work right now the FSM must think that I needed smiting.
Nah, I'll just admit failure and return to my house that is too small for them to stay in, peacefully enjoy a beer while watching the sun set behind the Olympics and consider the terrible mistake I made.Fixed that for me.

First few months are alien territory, agreed. I'd put it more like 6 months, when they can smile and giggle.
I hate it when you get out of the shower only to realize you still have residual sudz in your crack.
Life is tough.
Life is tough.
Agreed. Though, not quite as irritating as getting out and immediately having to take a dump. Like come on body, you couldn't have signaled that 10 minutes ago??
@jstuhlman I can report that Denmark has way more stout weather then New York and I have found a good beer pusher.
enjoying a nice crisp cold bepis
How was your recovery?
Unpacking from 8 nights in Glacier including two mellow rides with @Serial Midget
There were eleventy billionty 'squitos... and slightly fewer wet creek crossings
Beargrass flowers were as good as they've ever seen (according to rangers)
We camped at Fish Ck/Lake McDonald and relocated to Bowman when the Midge arrived
The high country was still holding a lot of snow, as was evidenced by the fact that Going to the Sun Road just opened on Wednesday...
The Midge and I did do some exploring north of Pole Bridge (Whale Lake, we were stopped about 1/2 mile from lake when the postholing was too deep)
Downhill was mellow but fun...
And we had to stop along the way to dissect (grass filled) bear poop -- not pictured was the fresh Coyote track at the snowfield turnaround...
We'd hoped to ride Thoma Lookout the next day, but somehow missed the cairn to the hike-a-bike portion so had a mellow double-track day instead (no pics)

I've developed a system to significantly reduce the chances of such a situation.
Step 1 - Wake up and immediately drink a glass of water. Over night you get dehydrated which makes your digestive process slow down. The glass of water wakes everything up and you should feel things start to move.
Step 2 - Do everything in your morning routine before showering. This gives your insides some time to do shit.
Step 3 - Poop
Step 4 - Shower
It doesn't work every time but I manage to take a pre-shower shit almost every morning. YMMV as I tend to eat large dinners with generous servings of fibrous veggies.
The rivers seemed deeper...
I passed out from the pain despite being doped up on morphine when they tried to move me from one post op area to another. Which surprised them...
A decade later my groin is still fucked enough that I can't do much lifting.
Ouch.
You people are weak and should stop polluting the gene pool with your faulty code.
contusion still hurts like a sonofabitch. But maybe a little less edgy?! Discovered last night that my wang is bruised too. on wednesday I had discovered a bruise on the inside of the opposite foot. When I hit the tree with my right hip, I must have also stabbed my choad (chode?) with my saddle, and hit the inside of my left ankle against my cranks...
Am supposed to head out to a cottage by a lake tonight, but will wait until tomorrow morning. I'd rather eat pizza and drink beer at home in my underwear tonight.

Mine was great...they catheterized me for the surgery, so that first pee felt like someone had given a case of the clap while I was passed out, but other than that, all good.
I'm not entirely sure how the abdominal hernia developed...it was just there one day. That surgery is a little more invasive, but my father-in-law had the same thing done last year and recovered just fine. I look forward to surgeries - it's the best sleep I get the entire year.
No. More like weird topic phrases. I'm listening to music now and variations of the phrases keep coming into the song, even though I know every word of the song and they are incorrect.
Oh, I am.
You need coffee just to take a shit, go home you drug addict
Swelling is weird. My balls got purple and swollen and my dick is still partially purple even though I didn't actually do anything to my junk. If you have enough swelling it moves around on it's own.

I certainly don't need it to poop. But poop happens about 5 minutes after my first cup. I can schedule my turds with great accuracy. 7:45 every morning, on the dot. No coffee and that become sometime between 8:00 and 10:00. I ain't got time for that. Ain't nobody got time for thatYou need coffee just to take a shit, go home you drug addict
Oh man, when I was in my 20s I had to have an emergency surgery. When I came to, I was sharing the room with some old guy. He had had a catheter installed but removed. When the attending Dr. came by to check on us, he noticed that the old man's catheter had been removed. He yelled at the nurses, absolutely furious. He said something along the lines of "you fools, why did you take it out?! There's a reason we put those in when people are knocked out. Now we have to put back in while he's awake". The cries of agony from that man... Post-op... I will never forget.
MDs continue to argue about whether and when catheters are appropriate. As a patient, one has the right to say no...Oh man, when I was in my 20s I had to have an emergency surgery.

Magnificent trip to Colorado is over. Met all of my riding objectives, especially bringing wifey on a ride WAY over her head, and still getting steak and laid that night. Good times!
My ride got cut short by rain this evening. 
On a positive note, I finished an overhaul of my 888CR. Really nice fork to work on. Finally with the firm coil in it, I cannot wait to ride it in the gnarr again.

Invite them to dinner at $500 per plate for a "charity fundraiser". Show them some random slides of forests and shit. They'll think it's terrific to be able to help a worthy cause.
welp. today's ride was one of my more random ones. radar made it look like rain in the hills all day. as @jackalopes are non-aquatic animals, our very own decided to remain in the comfort of his lair. since no shuttle is to be had, i decide to do a loop of yellowbuck and then maybe headquarters or lost cove cliffs.
it's grey and spits rain while driving up but once i hit the road into the forest it's just misting. get out of the car. 134% humidity. yellowbuck as a solo loop that begins with a 6 mile gravel grind of a climb. then into the woods for a fast mile-long descent featuring large whoop-de-do booters all the way down. then a steep, loose, heinous hike a bike.
at this point i realize i'm as wet as i would have been if it had been raining. also pretty sure i heard a bear downslope scratching on a tree or log. not sure what else would make a noise like that. pretty cool.
finally hit the summit and look forward to the steep, ledgy, loose, rough, and (unfortunately) face-slappy 2.5 mile descent back to the car. it's terrific. i'm soaked through (even though still no rain) but most pleased. until i take off my pack and realize that somewhere along the way my new rain shell has been ejected. make the call to turn the bike around look for it. hike a bike back to the summit (no way in hell to ride up this trail-can hardly push up parts).
descend the initial hike a bike, which i've never done and is pretty fun. start pushing back up the whoop de do descent. find rain shell snagged on tree. make the call to turn around and do the initial hike a bike and gnurr descent again rather than finish the push up the whoops and coast down the fire road. rewarded with another excellent dh. hit the car, grab a beer, and wring out clothes, head home.
@jackalope - rematch on the 14th???
