dogs fed, espresso made, surfing the web until I leave to go get my first transport in 15 minutes
Started shopping for a new bike. I really like the Trek Top Fuel but damn I am getting some crappy service from the official Trek store up the road from where I live. No test rides are possible of course. I have a bike so I am not in a hurry to let go of my dollars/euros/kroners.
Knives sharpened, cutting board repaired, household mostly maintained. Wife is still iffy, so I'll have to try and hold things down with the baby plus work today.
Forecast: FAIL!
MORNING. Work from home day. Still nursing a sore keester muscle but will take it for a run in a little while, then pedal the kickr this afternoon. Wife and I have a pistol permit class tonight, which is needed before Wife can accept a "present" that her dad bought her. 
Since wife needs the class, I figured I might as well take it.

Morning Monkeys.
I finally broke out the sewing machine I bought a couple months back and sewed up the curtains for the windshield on Frita. I got a flexible track that I have a plan for mounting. I am very glad I took the intro sewing class, it helped a lot. But I am a little disappointed in my fancy machine vs the old school setup I used in class. But it should work well enough.

At work for first time in.....?
Didn't get out to go kick some tires yesterday, due to day long headache. blargh. Will retry tonight.
Drove the car to work, with the oil light on. Gives me the heebie jeebies, but we know its making oil pressure...so...
Anyways, coffee'ing it now.

How you doing health wise? Is the kidney stone situation resolved?

I likely won't be able to join you on Tuesday, too much work.
Look at that. Barely cracked 9am and I'm already doing the baby/laptop juggle. FAIL level at 100%.

Adding to that, there's some construction equipment going outside and the reverberations are enough to make me nauseous.
I'm doing well now
I assume the kidney stone is gone now due to lack of discomfort. I have a followup call with a urologist tomorrow, so we'll see.January was just a cluster fack, with one thing after another happening. I think the biggest toll its taken has been on mine and the girlfriend's mental state. But we're both coming around now. And spring is hopefully not too far out.
the individual in question didn't like being called out. it was their only option from their high horse.
Nice to hear! Does not seem to be a lot of them available but I am not in a hurry and looking at different options. They have moved to 130mm and beefer fork for 2023 which to me seems like a good choice.
Great ride in warm temps yesterday, finally feeling like I click with the new bike. Today is graybird and snowing lightly. Gonna try and get all the interior trim done in the Bong Shed™ tonight or tomorrow.
those actually look really good
7/5 would eat
/me is WFH today. bit of schedule shuffling to accommodate sick radiologists but still maintained the WFH-ness of it.
You get the new link mounted and rolling?
I assume this was directed at me, and the answer is that I have not. Not sure what it is, but I'm digging it. I did take a couple months mostly off the bike, started getting back to it last week. I think that break might have helped me disconnect the comparison mentality I was having with the previous bike, and start embracing the new one for what it's strengths are. And I'm just getting used to the
I am still quite curious to get the link installed and see how it changes the feel of the bike.
Day 2.5 of kids solo. Successfully brought them to swim lessons without any drowning yesterday. 5 loads of laundry done, closet/piles of clothes (wife's) cleaned up and organized. Finished the day yesterday with 22mi on the trainer. Got both to school on time today.
Fucking crushing it. #whoneedsher

Also ordered a new jacket for pickup at the store near the train station where I'll be picking up wife Thursday. $175 credit + 10% off email signup coupon = $100 out of pocket for a much nicer jacket. Me = happy.
Oh it snaps through corners, compared to the 150. Not as
wife on a business trip?
