Going down to the in-laws for the day. That's going to be... something.
What is this general sense of anxiety I feel? Mid-life crisis? So many things I wanna do, seemingly so little time to do them.
Back from a short trip, two days, three rides, great food, perfect weather. Got to see @Full Trucker and his better half briefly.
Today is another ride, then maybe grill some hot dogs, because I’m fancy like that.
Here. Awake. Today's goals involve detailing both cars, starting to prep for the Grand Junction race next weekend, and yardwork. We might go to the neighbor's for a bbq, but Wifey was knackered when she got home with the girls last night, which is always a good look when making new friends. Haley's helmet has been delayed 3 weeks. The painting facility was flooded and down from May 2-23, so we're looking at getting it around her birthday instead of last week. They will be shipping it expedited, which is nice though.
Kiddo wanted to go out to eat last night. Went to a nicer place on one of the lake. Twas nice.
was working in the shop until my back said “welcome to 40”. Coffee and ice pack at the moment.
Will probably celebrate today by going grocery shopping.
Wife is currently on a germ tube flying home. I've had to keep myself and the DSO alive since Tuesday, so just a few more hours to go. Hopefully a ride with her this afternoon.
Drinking espresso getting ready to head off to work. Dialysis doesn't take holiday breaks so nor do we.
spread out 60 cubic feet of bark on the yard borders yesterday so I'm a bit sore.
Going to try and rehome a couple of pair of hiking boots to a co worker. The boots are in great shape but my feet are now size 13 and the boots are 12s

Currently at a hostel waiting out a thunderstorm. Living in the rain is getting old. Stay dry monkeys.
Morning Monkeys.
I found out the replacement water heater for Frita was made by someone else? The controller still seems to work, or at least power on because rerunning just the controller wire would be a HUGE pain in the ass. Need to replace the radiator hoses and top off the coolant, then maybe a test drive. I am taking it in tomorrow to have the alignment rechecked because after I put the new steering box in, it seems to have a slight pull at speed, which is weird. Projects are fun, yay.

really elegant string of pearls configuration, highly unstable.....
Not much on the radar today, still shopping for a 3D printer and a sheet metal trim brake. I may enjoy the shopping process more than using it.
Starting to get the garage empty and the trailer outfitted. looking forward to putting the maslow CNC to work as soon as it arrives. finding good lumber around here for the frame will be tough.
maybe I will work on the boat today

So yesterday we were driving into town to look at used furniture we aren't going to buy. While on the freeway I got passed by a Cyber Truck and the wife says "what the fuck is that?" Apparently the Cyber Truck isn't huge on Bravo TV or TikTok, so she has no idea it even existed. 
She was totally blown away by how terrible it looks. I didn't know she had never even seen a picture of it, amazing.

Cool the pair of Vasque goretex boots I had laying around fit my co-worker Kevin's feet perfectly. It's his first pair of real hiking boots.
you wont need luck if you have a cordless impactGonna have a go at the Mazda's sway bar links today. Wish me luck.
I have one. Not convinced that I won't *also* need the grace of the @FSM.
.Hey gang
lots of yard work. Looking nice but always seems like there’s more I can do. I guess that’s home ownership. Lots of tree trimming and hanging off a ladder.
I continue to do battle with the birds and my house. I have a woodpecker “friend” who likes to put a hole in the siding, and then that’s it. Just one hole. Then in the spring another little fella comes along and uses the hole for a house. I’ve tried all kinds of things to keep them away, but I think I’m going to try hanging a bird house and see if we can #coexist.
Might get out for a ride- wanted to MTB it but that just seems like so much more work than hopping on the roadie and getting after it. Oh well.

I would have thought you'd raised them better than that.<checks fridge>
The kid has a couple PBRs in the basement fridge.

He likes stouts and porters... and PBR. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Too old to be ordered...
Finished the GG. Rode the GG. Short ride cut shorter as it started raining sooner than expected. Still had fun, nice bike. Needs a little tweaking but was in the ballpark for the initial setup.
Laundry and packing for Bonaire.

Always stuff to do in the yard. I like it though. Move a few plants around when one rhododendron died. Candle pruned most of my pines. As my garden has matured workload is going down as weeds has less space.
Threw some football with the boys. My shoulder doing better than last year. Love simple summer things like that.
One of the trails up here is rich with stinging nettles.Apparently rode through a patch of stinging nettles
Super common in the UK, wife had never seen them until she found some on a ride over there.
