Severe pain in the right knee and hip coupled with muscle cramps last night, big time suckage until the 4 ibuprofen kicked in. Short bus again this week.

Back to the salt mine. Will be spending the day unpacking my cube belongings due to the department move while I was gone. Not a single fuck will be given.
Mornin!
Buddy invited me for a "leisurely" ride on Saturday. Apparently leisurely meant 10 miles with 2K feet of climbing. After not riding enough this year to call myself a cyclist that hurt.
Also managed to book the 5 required flights for our honeymoon end of December. That's a stress relief.

Another week of full time daddy duty. I can see work piling deep the next few days.
Morning. At work. 
Brrr...... Time to close the windows at night I guess.Much to do today. After this weekend pulling 11 straight because I have to go to stupid EMB175 training. Already not looking forward to it.
stayed home today caus' my throat infection still hurts like hell. tack that onto three nights of really crappy sleep and it's a recipe for not going to the office. I wish I could work at home though, caus' I have a lot of stuff to do. Maybe I'll go in this afternoon...

White Ranch from the bottom all the way to the tippity top. Upper Mustang -> Sawmill ->Maverick -> Longhorn -> Whippletree.
I dropped off sleepy Mariko at school this morning at her request, then dropped off the 8 unwanted/variously worn used all seasons from the two vehicles at Discount Tire. I got the recycling fee waived through some combination of pointing out that two tires were in great shape and, probably more significantly, that I'd laid down $$$ for 8 9 new Nokians at Discount Tire over the past year.
Photos of the family from yesterday, a few days early of Yuna's true 5 month-day but both more convenient and the only way possible since I'm renting my camera body Tues-Fri:
I even bust out the tripod so that my hairy mug could make an appearance!

Cold morning ride when I hit the road at 5.30am. I hate cold weather I want the 90s back again.
Lil one has been watching sprinklers for 30 minutes now.
Mmmmm... nice. That's a quality loop.
I had the revelation today that I need to have commemorative Koozies made for a ride I always do on the 1st Saturday in November. They shall be inscribed with the saying "You can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning" with the ride name and year on the other side.
You live here now. There are no sub-2K rides. SIUP....10 miles with 2K feet of climbing. After not riding enough this year to call myself a cyclist that hurt.
You're welcome. But also, my invite must have gone to the spam folder? WTF?
Quality. Perhaps we can let the whining from earlier slide.
Why are you sending my email to the spam folder?
Excellent bike ride with the hubby Saturday, got turned around a bit and biked some trails we had not before! It was good!
Getting a cold. Life experience tells me that either tomorrow or the next day there is a high probability of not being able to function. Rest and good nutrition shall be had in an effort to halt that process!
Work is nuts. Resealing and striping a parking lot with 2,000 stalls and full buildings is pretty intense! Dude restriped the parking lot so terribly that a mini cooper had its wheels OUTSIDE the lines.
Yes you read that right.
The company has all their staff out to paint black over it, reseal (again), and restripe again to standard.
Plus we've got big wigs on site. Another day flies by!

Both tanks failed hydro. Bought a used tank and a new console.
People had to drive me around today. It was awesome. All day long at my whim and mercy. I do appreciate not having to take the Bus.
Bike riding perhaps?
Went and rode this afternoon. Twas slippery as snot. Then got a text on the way home, asking if I wanted to ride. Sure! Two rides in one day, plus beers and wings. I'm officially cooked.
I also broke a spoke on my back wheel today. Should be good to keep riding?

To what fine corner of this great nation have you been sent?
drinking beers.

The cream of the desert southwest, where bad decisions are exploited for every dollar they can get from you.
oh, I thought FEENIX.
that depends. 32 spokes or 28?
Also depends - crabon rim or alloy?
Alloy and 32 spokes. I haven't the slightest clue on wheel stuffz, so this one will have to be done by a shop
And knowing the shops around here, that'll probably be a week long job and $80.
no no, it's not complicated at all. You just need to identify the right length and type of spoke (the shop should be able to do that for you - you need to match length, and butting). Then you pull the old spoke out of the flange, stuff the new spoke in (observe the adjacent spokes to make sure you repeat the over and under sequence), thread the new spoke in the nipple and bob's your uncle.
For one spoke, you might want to use a little blue loc-tite to make sure it stays properly tensioned, but there's a lot of divergence of opinion on the use of loctite on nipples, so I'll let others with more knowledge than me correct me if I'm wrong.
Honestly, it's not rocket science....

never use loctite on spokes. ever. spoke prep is good, i personally use linseed oil.
