Was supposed to be a hangar day, but my opposite counterpart called in, so hopefully a quite day in the hole.

This is a lovely set of ideas, good luck to them.

What, exactly, is "the hole"?
Does each gate have a resident mechanic?
Nope. It's just me for 10 different gates here. The only two airlines here that I don't cover are Southwest and Frontier. Gate 7 just happens to have extra space and a place for me to store parts and tools.

Work is slowing down as my manager prepares for my departure on paternity leave.
Raining today through tomorrow. Guess I'll do inside stuff like read a book or two?
how long do you get for paternity? paid?

feeling like death after my digestion comes back on line from a week's worth of salad shooter ass, plus medicine guts from anything i could cram in my gullet the past couple of days.
Zero training nor riding. Was hoping I'd be OK today, but it looks like it'll be more seminar and movies until I can shake this off.

brat diet dude. you're a parent, you should know that.
i'd take 3 days of butt squirts over the multi weeks of back pain i've been dealing with.
that's fair, but as an adult it's difficult to tell whether you're dealing with an isolated incident (too much busch lite and chicken wings) or something more prolonged. BRATs won't help overindulgence of Tbell. My trots were sporadic...I'd be solid then soft then solid then soft, like a boomer with a new script
where's BABS anyways?
either running or having an unhealthy amount of caffeine from starbucks
Massachusetts state law allows up to 12 weeks, with reimbursement of wages up to a maximum benefit of $850/week. My company will cover the difference for the first two weeks, so I'll have 2 weeks at full pay, $850 for every week after that.
The plan right now is to do 4 weeks total.
exterior graduated cylinder indicates about 3/8" of rain.
Down to one income, so while I'd love to take more, money dictates otherwise.
And I'd offer to let you ride my hardtail so you could remember how miserable it is around here, but I dare say our height difference makes that a bit of a moot point.
Back at work after a week and a bit off. 
But am at least at home today. Should be an easy day, though. Need to start sifting through the 500 new emails.
Weather looks nice today. Will have to get out for our weekly group ride; last Wednesday that the DH park will be open until 8pm.

What did you do to require 25 staples in your ankle?!
Why not both?
Had my first bowel movement since my accident yesterday. Crash was on the 26th. So 5 days without pooping. Was worried it would hurt, but I guess the softeners they had been giving me 2x for three days worked. Aside from having to push a little harder than usual, it was fine. Smelled foul though.
I might be going home today. Insurance company has agreed to send me home by ambulance. Theyre organizing it now. It's a 5 hour drive. Was sort of hoping for a helicopter ride but I guess you can't have it all...
I ran an hour on the high school track this morning. Good run. There were some old ladies walking on the track, and I actually enjoy having some company, but JHFC with their perfume. The smell of the nearby portapotties was less offensive.
Fortunately you'll be getting your money's worth of that time off - 21 out of 24 hours of every day will be spent awake.
Wow. I walk into one shit of a conversation here...
Here. Moderate day. First shipment of storage cabinets showed up yesterday. I spent a bit of this morning clearing out their space and my neighbor will help me get them into place. Doing a shelf/space accounting I should be able to get 2 times the existing space worth of stuff into them. Proper storage ftw.

I appreciate that...it's usually all it takes. I had a scott hardtail for a while and it was a joy, but fuck did it bang up my lower back just scooting around.
If you've got one income, then hopefully you also have one full-time parent. That should be doable. I hope things go well for you guys!
just got word that my compressor is finally dead in my AC condensor. Apparently the previous owners installed an R410 air handler on a R22a condensor...now the condensor is dead, and hopefully I don't have to buy both.
Spiral fracture of the fibula plus 2 more breaks and 2 fractures of the tibia, dislocated ankle and tore the ligament between the two bones. They went in from both sides. 12 screws and a plate. Needless to say but my running days are over. At least I can walk and rideWhat did you do to require 25 staples in your ankle?!
Safe trip home! Hopefully they take the smooth route around Montreal and not across the horrible autoroute 40 (or whichever it is) through the city.What did you do to require 25 staples in your ankle?!

I can't believe how difficult buying and selling shit is, even in the day of facebook marketplace which cut down on spammers so much. Holy christ-
"Are you around today or tomorrow, I'm local and can pick up" -
"yes"
"Can you grab a measurement for me or read the size" "No answer"
man forget it, I'll ride my old crap

I'm due for a poop, so thanks for the reminder.
Back pain here, too.
Espresso soon.
It'll some kind of RM hat trick day.

maybe some day i'll get an actual road bike instead of piecemealing together second hand stuff and whatever random MTB stuff i have sitting around
I love my hardtail. It is not great for lower back issues.
We've started to just donate a ton of nice furniture that doesn't fit around the house since we moved Hannah's room and got Haley her new bed. It's not worth the $100 we *might* get out if it.
I really want a new bike, but I don't think I want to deal with the effort of selling mine (nor adtl px of a new bike). I might just change the angles a bit steeper, stiffen the hell out of the shock and call it a day.
I had one person try to pull the Bicycle Blue Book price on a small FS bike I just sold. Told her to fuck off. There are zero nice(r) small FS bikes available right now. Demand drives prices, not what an online organization says.
People just expect too much for too little.
Stay home and stay safe and stay prepared in case Caldor fire decides to drop into Minden/Gardnerville so I can protect home or evacuate, or..........
Drive to Vegas to pick up new Tacoma.
