***Monday GMT***
- Thread starter Pesqueeb
- Start date
Except mines entirely battleship grey with no mahogany brightwork other than the windshield. More wife beater than blue blazer. It looks like a PT boat.
Srsly good idea - weather's perfect there this time of year!Road trip to California?
Meh.
I have a growing suspicion that this week can kiss my aching ass.
It's actually like that from May -> October, generally speaking. Perfect weather. I think that people out there suffer the 7 months of hell because the 5 months are so perfect.
I lived at the edge of the Olympic Rain forest which sees more rain than Seattle, the environment there is built around rain so it's no big deal, you can trail ride year round with the right equipment, rain never stopped me or any biker I knew from hitting the trails.
.
It is also sucks having over 14,000 ft of elevation change.
Indeed - it is almost European in that regard.
And the North Cascades. Fuck.
I still couldn't deal with the shitty weather. But I'm soft.
Just got a note from my son's school that he's being an asshole. he's been an asshole at home for the last couple of weeks too, so I'm not surprised. I guess he's gonna have to have some asshole-related consequences... including a long sit-down discussion about his feelings. if that doesn't make him think twice about not being an asshole, I don't know what will.
I blame Redbull TV and their coverage of the Cairns WC. His assholiness started right after hearing all that cussing.

blew the whole morning taking the 6yo to an orientation at his new school for next year. It's the same one that his big brother already goes to, so needless to say, the parent part was useless. I wish I'd spiked my coffee.
Now trying to power the eff through my to do list so that I can leave without too much guilt at 4:00 to hit a local brewery on the way home.
In other news, our cat, which enjoys killing things and usually litters our front and back yard with dead voles, and the occasional chipmunk or bird, scored his biggest kill yet last night, depositing a good sized rabbit on our doormat. Scared the crap out of the wife when she opened the door thing morning.

I had a small stack of EE bonds that matured this week. In digging for them, I found a bunch of cash and ancient travelers checks that Hilarie must have stashed away about the time the bonds were purchased. Old-fashioned twenty dollar bills. Plus a two dollar bill.

Went on a couple dates, listened to some raucous metal, bought a new-to-me Hawaiian shirt, skied powder, drank beer, napped.

Is it silk?
Oh - and fuck you on the rest of that shit.
Well - except for the dating part - I'm not interested in that.
Annacortes isn't too far away and it is practically a desert. A desert with a shit ton of trails. Then there is the actual desert side. Also trending global warming has brought warmer dryer winters to the area.Indeed - it is almost European in that regard.

It's some sort of non-breathable synthetic... and it's glorious. Oh, did I forget to mention that I also got lei'd?Is it silk?

The metal-listening and some of the beer-drinking happened at TRVE Brewing... I told @Acadian if he ever visits Denver this is where he needs to go. Basically winning at the flight beer selection form thingy:
Ordering a beer in the voice of the metal singer you deem most appropriate for the chosen beer is good fun as well. My favorite was ordering the "Cursed" (a slightly sour affair) in the voice of King Diamond.
What's with the half-assed photobomb? Moar pix of the chix, man.It's some sort of non-breathable synthetic... and it's glorious. Oh, did I forget to mention that I also got lei'd?
And no silk?
Son... you know the rest.
I bought the ONLY appropriate shirt the Goodwill on Broadway had. It cost me all of $4 so no silk, no care.What's with the half-assed photobomb? Moar pix of the chix, man.

Son... you know the rest.

He probably just needs some more exercise. Have him split a few cords of wood.
I find your lack of silk... disturbing.
You really should have been a parent. Have you considered adoption?
A ha! I know where I need to go when I'm in Denver next month. Although I am a bit disappoint, son, with the overabundance of IPAs and the lack of stouts.It's some sort of non-breathable synthetic... and it's glorious. Oh, did I forget to mention that I also got lei'd?

Hey, hey, hey . . . get in line. If things work out right I can convince him to pick up my two hellions on his way out west. I'm going to propose a trade for his dog. He can even let them ride in a cage on top of his car, Mitt Romney-style.
This is a video of a grip of roadies stacking up on top of each other at high speed. It made my morning that much better so I'm sharing with you guys, but I'm dumb and can't figure out how to embed FB videos so you'll have to click on the link like a goon.

Anyone wanna show me how it's done? The video embed feature clearly says FB videos are ok.

without looking, is it the video of the NYC crit racers smashing into a stalled motorcycle?
Did lots of Dad stuff this weekend.
Science museum
Took the boys to an open house at the local concrete plant
it was a little crowded...
So we left... It took me a while to realize he wasn't just really fascinated by the pedals and trying to lean over to have a better look... Was a decent pedal to get the legs moving. Probably powering an extra 100 lbs around...trailer weighs a ton. It was free, so I won't complain.
But the weather was terrible
And I put in my new headset bearings. The fancy SS ones... Maybe I'll get to ride my mtb one of these days...

This GMT is becoming legendary yet I only want to ride bikes. 
motorcycle man is done.
I am hauling the 17 ft kayak on the roof again. They could sit in it and pretend to paddle.
Yeah, was a pretty fun weekend.
He bonks his head way too often to be a Jedi.
Is he a Jedi? It appears as if he's trying to use the Force on that dino.
yesssir it is
