Hmpf....... I seem to have misplaced my spoon.
I'm not sure whether I'm ready to deal with this jawn or not. 
Lazy morning, starting off with coffee and a fire. Perhaps a cat will join me.
4 transports done. Time to eat something and drink more coffee. I must say for some odd reason I was functioning well at 0315 this morning
Back to work today after 1 week off. Interested to see how many emails I have pending. Meh.
Caught up on three episodes of Mandelorian with Haley and Wifey last night. Goal is to do such all this week until fully caught up, them watch new Wonder Woman.
Hoping I don't have too much to do today, so I can finish building my new scrap wood cart for the garage. Get to use a bunch of scrap wood to make said cart, then have a place to put said scrap wood rather than a series of buckets and my floor.
I've decided that I want to build a mitre station on the side of the garage, so will need to get garage organized with everything wall mounted up above waist level. Think I need to start focusing on the storage shed too for space.

Some work this morning and then I did a 50km ride up the coast on a windy day but beautiful riding along the water and despite no sun the light is still better than inland. Legs felt good too. Rain the next few days but weekend looks good so I hope I can find some trails that are not covered in mud.
any of you guys a structural engineer???
Kidding! Just kidding.
Light week of work ahead, mixed with a ski day or three and moar demo/reno planning.

Morning Monkeys.
Did not want to start work yet, so I really haven't. Supposed to be dry and 42 today, I might take a long lunch and go lose some golf balls. Need to get my game up for Friday, that should be hilarious.

when in doubt....blow it out?
Latter. I have a shed already that it under the deck, which is max size allowed by HOA. Realistically, I need to do a better job of storing things, at which point building out will work better. I have a lot of space being poorly used in our shed, in the basement storage unit, rafters, etc. Putting things into places more appropriately, based on usage levels is going to make more of a difference.
Also pulling an @Adventurous and doing a purge at the same time will have an impact. I have two bikes that I can blow out for a few hundred lower then mkt, but it will get rid of them quickly. One of the problems of having 2 girls, with a substantial age difference is that we're holding a large amount of clothing for Hannah from Haley. We'll have another large purge in about a year when Hannah's 4 and can transit more without the need for strollers if we're doing a longer day. Same with her Burley, etc. But until then? Lots of large, kid related shit that is anchored to the house.
3 hours into this work day and I have already gotten 70 e-mails. I seriously wonder how these people expect me to keep up with these.
No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Trust me, itll be fine.

Early voting today as county decided against ballot drop boxes and Saturday voting.
Should see more dirt this week as the the factory shutdown provides a long break till after new years.
Now if only I could get my 27.5s back on my smash, Smash Dogg is simply more fun to ride.

Hungover today. 3 old fashioneds was 1 too many last night, apparently.
Low key day, probably riding bikes around the driveway and random errands.
Helping a friend install his angleset tomorrow morning then going for the new bikes first ride. Very excited.

I rode early when everything was still frozen yesterday but I expect the trails to be on the wet side now. I'll be checking them out tomorrow morning again.
Since they no longer carry anything useful, they are now selling retro merch. Nice work, Radio Shack. This will turn things around for sure. Of course I want one, but still.

rode bikes w/a buddy. total goof off ride. 60* and sunny; trails a little greasy for sketchy fun bonus. post ride beer then a few laps on the pump track ftw. man do i love cackalacka winters.
I saw a post from Matt in Pittsfield. You guys don't have much snow.
Incoming chance of rain so we decided to just go for a walk. Ventured out for the yearly visit to the old slowly deteriorating dh spot.
Someone moved and added a beam to this old bridge, nice to see. This thing used to be like a like crossing a wobbly rope bridge.
Mr Beaver chewing on stuff.

Here we have zero snow and a little ice.
Somehow I cannot get used to the look of tapered head tubes on DJ frames.
Eh. It is what it is. I just have no idea about DJ parts, so need to figure out what to even put on it. They just built a pretty sweet little park by my house, so I've been wanting to ride with my kids.
Armchair Chemist only. Any input on my part would sadly be insufficient.
I am not criticizing it, sweet frame!
I just love the slim look of old school steel DJ frames and the tapered head tube is kind of taking away from and otherwise awesome looking one.You have a BMX BB on there as well (Mid I guess?), which limits options. I am suffering from the same with mine. Will need to make some BB cups in the future so that I can run a lighter crank option.
For parts just raid your spares bin. For a fork I would go Manitou Circus (still 20 mm axle) or lower an old fork that you have.

Your big spoon or little spoon? On second thought, I dont wanna know.
Hmpf....... I seem to have misplaced my spoon.
Username checks out
How light are you wanting to go?
YMMV
I really like my odyssey thunderbolt cranks.
Bent my previous crank on the track and I am sure tweaked it further on DJs, of course with my hack skills durability is more of concern than weight (24s and a rigid fork save more than >200g).
