It’s been a weird week. We moved into a friend’s parent’s one-bedroom ADU last night. We’ll be here until remediation at our place is done.
Holy shit, NC though! I texted @Dirtrider for a wellness check last night because he’s in Asheville but haven’t heard back. Can all you other fools check in? Worried about ya!
My mom’s house in FL is apparently toast. She’s not there yet for the year, but damn.

back to work. vehicle inspections until 1pm so its an office day. Bought a new phone an S24+ to replace my old (8 years) S10 so far I like it. they gave me $800 on the trade in so the new phone only cost me $200, win.
I heard from a non rm buddy in Brevard that he was safe. Haven’t heard from @Dirtrider since shit hit the fan. Hope they are ok.
Not even 730 and I've already told off a project manager and a senior director of r&d. I copied my boss on the email too.
Up again in the night with child. That makes it 4 out of the last 5, with the dog getting me out of bed the remaining night.
Gonna watch some woodworking videos on YouTube while I work. Start this day off right.
Ran 10.25 miles this morning. Good run except for the mad dash to the portapotty at mile 1. I wasn't sure I was going to make it!
Long-ish ride yesterday. Oof.....
Single Speed to work today just to double up on the self inflicted punishment.
Heart stress test tomorrow morning, I haven't ran more than 50m sober in about ten years so it should be fun.
It's only felt weird once in the last two weeks, but it felt like it scrunched up then did some weird beats, hadn't done that one before.
Knocked out 520km on the bike for the month.

my body generally gives me a warning...
like...
hey....your morning is not going to go as planned if you do not get some seat time in...
Hey gang
off to work. Meh.
road riding buddy bought a MTB, looking forward to getting some mileage with him but it didn’t pan out this weekend. Hoping to take the kids to see monster trucks next weekend.

Thought about @Dirtrider this morning as well. Hopefully all is good there
Sorry to hear about your mom's house.
Heading to Snowshoe and Windrock next week - looks like Windrock got some damage too...
lessons learned..... if you're gonna throw me under the bus, i'm taking you with me.
Ran into that recently. Then I produced emails, presentations, meeting notes and agreement from the cross functional team, from 1.5 years ago, on the path chosen. Funny how people want to sling shit until you bring receipts.
they dumped something in my lap mid-day friday and then tried to railroad me into approving it despite it having errors. they immediately escalated to the R&D senior director. this was an approval for a final design review. they claimed they didn't realize the person from my function had left the company (he left in January). i pointed out i've been calling into the core team meetings for at least 6 months. i told them that if it was this urgent they need to confirm this stuff before final design review, not after.
feel good about today, bouncing off this weekend's progress on the lots. 2 weeks' worth of equipment rental is a sign of the tree complexity. I am going to get the water board to install a water meter, might have some trucks avail wednesday to haul in some road base and should be ready to start picking some plans shortly.
Asheville and surrounding areas are without electricity and cel service. Close to 400 roads are closed. So this event is still unfolding as we get more contact with mountain regions.
All national forests from GA to VA are telling visitors not to come. Pisgah is closed until further notice. The first third of the Appalachian Trail is inaccessible. Several towns along the trail have sustained unprecedented flood damage including Erwin, TN, Hot Springs, NC and Damascus, VA. The level of devastation will likely take years to completely recover from.
Reminds me a little of what the NY Catskills region got hit with from Hurricane Irene in 2011 (I think...). But way worse over a much larger swath of the country.
I lived in Asheville when Biltmore Village flooded in 2004. Saw a video of the river arts district and the building my studio was in had water up to the second floor. Last time it got about 10 feet from the building. I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the exact scope and size of the area effected.
When I read that the Mount Mitchell area got 2ft of rain, then you know everywhere near a creek/river and not on a hill is going to have a bad time.
Morning Monkeys.
Apparently they froze the build Friday and haven't said anything yet. We have project stand up at 8:30, if it isn't mentioned, I will be forced to ask. I really shouldn't have to, this isn't how quality software is built.

Here. Annual check-in and quarterly ADHD appts this am.
Spent a good chunk of last night and this morning pricing out the travel costs for Haley's winter racing series. Thankfully we have an amazing corporate discount at Wyndham hotels, otherwise the hotels would kill us. But flights? Fucking hell. It's actually cheaper to buy United miles then book, than it is to fly Southwest to where we're going. I never thought we'd get to that point in society. Frontier Business class (because I'm tall) is almost the same price. FTS all the way. We're driving to the Utah race and taking extra days off to make it happen. The Sonoma race will become a family vacation, so Wifey will schedule the flight as she does. But fuuuuuuuck those races will be expensive.
I rode my bike with Hannah to the school yesterday to teach her how to lock it properly. It felt weird because it's definitely set up for DH with climbing as a secondary. It actually hurt my wrists a decent amount. But still nice to get into it. I can definitely still do wheelies, which Hannah was loving.

Mornin. shitty Monday. Wife is pissed cuz I changed plans without consulting her. Kinda like she does all the fucking time.
But I’m not dead and the weather is nice, so there’s that.

most likely yes. that level of trade in discounts implies one of the major carriers. when I did the math switching to a MVNO--even on the very same network!--worked out to be cheaper than the premium per month - trade in value per month. (went from Verizon to Visible+.)
anyway, /me is working from Colorado Center today. which meant I was traffic this morning, but will have some Thai food to make up for it.
HBD!
My buddy and I made plans for a woods adventure on the mountain bicycle. My day is stacked up already and I had to bail just now.
I call, break the news, he says "What? You can't go next Monday??"
Well shit... next Monday is looking good still. Right on

No new death or unhinged violence to report. Thats nice.
