Ugh Monday
Need to invent a coffee IV that starts putting coffee in me a hour before the alarm goes off

Morning.
Did some singletrack riding with the guys on Saturday and hit up a local brewery on the way home for samples and growler fills. Also, did a small family ride with the wife and kid on Sunday morning along the Genesee River. I had forgotten how much resistance it adds pulling a bike trailer. My legs are a little sore/tired today.

Hot and humid today. Did a morning ride but still riding slow I just have not been able to get some speed in the bike lately. Gotta get back to riding with a group again.

Meh, not feeling it. Gonna pass the day away then see what I can accomplish around the house tonight. I need a team of slav....laborers.
1st day back at work after a week off. Nice and quiet here with no kids running around screaming.
Now looking for a replacement for my 6 y.o. Pushed Monarch. It's behaving badly on a consistent basis. With the exchange rate where it is, getting a new shock is cheaper than getting Push to rebuild it. Wouldn't mind a used Monarch Plus RT3 Debonair in 8.5x2.5 (paging dan-o... check your PM's!)

Wife started her new job today, first work in almost a year since we had lil one. That's right, I am now married to a middle school science teacher.
Monday choreday.
That genese river trail is always a nice family ride
My music teacher wife hasn't worked since, what, 2010? It'd be nice for her to go to work to at least cover the cost of preschool…
Today I shall idly edit some JavaScript, interview a fellowship candidate, spend a long time on hold with GEICO getting a flood insurance quote, read some CTs and MRIs this afternoon, and then go out to dinner: both mother in law and father in law (separate trips--they're divorced) are in town so we shall all dine.
What wash are you close to?
It was my mom's bday this weekend and we celebrated last night. A good time was had by all. A really good time. Too. Much. Wine. 
New house won't be near much at all, and is in the < 0.1% flood risk zone (as low as it goes). We will have a basement, however, and doesn't regular homeowner's insurance not cover non-plumbing water damage?What wash are you close to?
Correct, any non-plumbing related water is considered 'flood'.
42 minutes with GEICO, probably 37 of those on hold.
Net result is $477 per year quote… but that just covers the appliances in the finished basement. It does not cover the basement's finished walls, floors, contents, etc.
There's $100k of contents coverage and $250k of structure coverage for the rest of the house above ground, but given that the basement would be the thing that'd flood that sounds like it'd be an essentially useless policy. I think I shall pass, and will self insure the water heater and furnace.

Our credit card quivers in fear.
Interesting. I seem to recall that the way my homeowner's insurance policy states it is that water that comes up through the foundation is not considered "flooding".
E: At least here, water through the foundation is considered a flood. They only cover plumbing related water (burst pipes, dw/laundry hoses, etc) and damage from a leaky roof. Ground water coming up through foundation due heavy rains etc isnt covered.

While riding yesterday a friend got a chunk of wood jammed between the front wheel and down tube. The results were amusing enough for me to diagram the situation for him.
Wheel size?

He does not ride clipped in?
29" The large wheel has limited wheel to down tube clearance allowing small object to jam up the works.
Hill!
I just returned a Speedy Lift jack to Sears because it no longer had it's speedy lift function. I had the lady my receipt and she confirms that the purchase date was 9/5/14 and proceeds to tell me that it's beyond the year warranty. 
I is engineer and made some drastic simplifications. Primarily that the bike and rider are perfectly rigid. Then essentially found the kinetic energy require to lift and rotate the COG over the stability point.
To include rider dynamics into such a calculation would be worthy of a DARPA project and well beyond the goal of busting a buddy's balls for a stupid crash.
So a good rider, or a bike with some flex or suspension will not go OTB at the calculated velocity, however, below the calculated velocity you will not go OTB unless you are a colossal fuck-up.

Replaced S4 Active that got trashed on TMTMNBN with S5 Active. Now setting up all the fiddly stuff. TMTMNBN actually may become legal in the relatively short term...
