Did the car intentionally hit the dog to save your bacon? If so, kudos to that person for the heads up move.Yesterday afternoon I left my house on my CX bike to go for a spin out in the hills. Was a bit chilly, but the wind was low and the sun was mostly out. On my way back to my house, I pass this very busy Xmas tree farm. While I am watching a large pick up pull out into the road, I see two people standing in there yard out of the corner of my eye on the opposite side of the road from me. Then I heard them start yelling and screaming something. Then I see it. They had their very large Pitbull out in there yard with them, off leash. He is barreling towards at full steam and I am fucked. Time kind of slows down for a minute and I start to think about what I should do. I start to try and clip my pedal and then I hear a large crash. A car came up behind me and swerved around me and took out the Pit before it could get to me. He was going so fast that they didn't even see it. Sent the dog flying into the ditch. So now I am kinda freaked out a bit. I am not lying in the ditch getting mauled, but I am sad that some people had to watch their pet die in front of them. I stuck around for a few minutes. The dog owner went to get his gun to put the dog out of it's misery. I made sure I was gone before he came back with the gun. Hand of Doom? Instant Karma? FSM tentacle reach out plan? Guardian Angel? Who knows.
All I do with charging dogs is stop and get off the far side of the bike, than talk the dog down.Yesterday afternoon I left my house on my CX bike to go for a spin out in the hills.

No. They didn't even see it. The dog was in a full sprint.Did the car intentionally hit the dog to save your bacon? If so, kudos to that person for the heads up move.
This one was moving so fast that I would not have had any time to dismount my bike before it would have made contact with me. Dismount and talking the dog down is usually the best way to not get bit and that is what I do in most other situations.All I do with charging dogs is stop and get off the far side of the bike, than talk the dog down.
If you are going to split it by hand, try to do it in the middle of winter. Wood splits easier the colder it is outside. If you wood is at all knotty, this could help you greatly.finished stacking next years firewood. it still needs split, but this is from the trees i had removed in august so it will get split in the spring. .
for the amount of wood to be split...... hellllllllllllllllllllllll no i'm not splitting it by hand. honkey ain't got time for that.If you are going to split it by hand, try to do it in the middle of winter.

'tussinHaley is heavy cough, residual fever sick now. Both Wifey and I are out of time off for the year, so I am now rolling into unpaid time. At least more housework is getting done.
Get to swap a light fixture today. Yeah! Electricity!
Man... when I read about the amount of work you do... it tires me right out. I think a nap may be in order today!Haley is heavy cough, residual fever sick now. Both Wifey and I are out of time off for the year, so I am now rolling into unpaid time. At least more housework is getting done.

tell him you won't stand for thisOn the work front: new manager... has called daily stand-ups instead of our customary weekly stand-ups for our team. Not sure how this will pan out...
Yup - which is kind of dumb in the IT operations world.What are "stand-ups"? Saying what shit you're working on?
let me guess, your new manager hasn't been a manager for very longYup - which is kind of dumb in the IT operations world.
I mean - how many days in a row am I going to say "yesterday I put out a bunch of unanticipated fires and today I plan to work on project work"? It's dumb enough having to say this once a week... much less every day.

These are actually pretty useful in a dynamic environment and in organizations that struggle with accountability.let me guess, your new manager hasn't been a manager for very long

Doubt it. Sounds like they weren't paying attention and barely managed to miss hitting him, the dog just got caught in the crossfire.Did the car intentionally hit the dog to save your bacon? If so, kudos to that person for the heads up move.
hopefully by then you'll be full on robotripping and won't really careWhat do you do when you run out of 'tussin?
