yes boys and girls it's short bus Monday and I approve of SS's message^^
So far today I have pooped twice, have had two cups of coffee, and ran six miles. My week is off to a good start.
Still working on my cup of coffee. I've pooped three times already, which is most unusual for me.
Said it before, I will say it again.. Drunk people are funny
Did a 45 mile deathmarch semi-legal race yesterday. Took a wrong turn and got an extra 5 miles and 2000 feet of climbing. It was brutal, and awesome.
Maybe a lunch ride today?
Considering heading down to Canyon City to try a new-to-me trail. Though I am reluctant to make the drive if conditions are going to be not great. Drove to Castle Rock last week and trail were teh poop.

6700 at the high point... should be OK, eh? I have heard that Pweeblo is good-to-go.
Scooter is loaded. Gonna go find out.
You really should do yourself a favor and kill your scale.
Neglected to mention my plumbing victory yesterday... two freeze-proof outdoor faucets replaced. Only had to f**k with it for 4 hours. 
Goddam plumbing...

Righty tighty, lefty loosy, shit goes downhill. Difficult stuff.Neglected to mention my plumbing victory yesterday... two freeze-proof outdoor faucets replaced. Only had to f**k with it for 4 hours.

The dumbf**ks that originally installed the faucets didn't use the threaded fittings - they just half-assed soldered things. Add to that a supremely $hitty location for one of them in the basement and you've got a recipe for good times...
Get yourself a house built and specify that you need all threaded easily accessed joints and see what kind of quote you get back.The dumbf**ks that originally installed the faucets didn't use the threaded fittings - they just half-assed soldered things.

Guy I worked with was a bit of a weirdo and when he had a house built he wanted everything easily accessible and maintainable. When he went to sell it, no one gave a shit and he lost his ass, this was when the market was booming.
Same thing goes for cars. Manufacturers could make a car that is easily maintained. But it would be expensive, slow and inefficient. People don't exactly line up for that kind of shit.
I can't imagine what a PITA this stuff must be like for people with finished basements... that said... I should have put a goddam shutoff valve in while I was f**king around with it. Sadly - I was too lazy. And FSM-willing I will sell this place long before the replaced faucets go bad again.
I try to tell people this when they line up to do remodel $hit RIGHT before putting a house on the market. But people are dumb and generally won't listen to reason.
You keep your reasonable logic out of my rant, please.
The airport is probably the best part of Detroit.
Yeah, the airport is alright. It's more the subsequent being in Detroit part that is the problem.
I hear you can get a good deal on a vacation home.
more like vacation compound
I'd take Chicago over Detroit for sure.
Chicago is cool if you have the cash to get a nice hotel. The food scene is murican steakhouse and that's OK by me. Detroit isn't even fun with money and there is no food scene whatsoever unless you call Coneys at 3am in Hamatrack a food scene. Even the suburbs in Detroit are dangerous.
No Fuddruckers, no care....The airport is probably the best part of Detroit.
I got served a Subpoena on Friday for a friends child custody court case. He knows I can't go because of a work trip. He doesn't expect me to be there but by the letter of the law I can be held in contempt if I don't show. I know the judge makes the decision but not sure if the serving lawyer can say it is no big deal. Really stressed over the situation and kind of pissed my friend put me in this situation. If shit goes south for me that fucker better realize I can destroy his whole world with little more than a single text to his ex and current.
I called his laywer, scumbag hasn't called back. Called the court, they told me to call the lawyer.

Sounds like you are not exactly the person your friend wants to have saying the truth and nothing but truth in front of a judge.
Very true, his best bet is an affidavit.
This guy has done some questionable things but he is without question a fantastic dad. I had the misfortune of witnessing his ex's boyfriend attempt to taunt him into a fight. It was clearly and orchestrated attempt to goad my friend into legal trouble. The mother had the child at the time and made no attempt to shield her from the experience, piece O'crap.
...and another trail ride in shorts.
Today the local Dirt Roadie trail system finally opened after being closed for several weeks. I opted to go somewhere else to avoid the hoards of after work, skinsuit warriors. I rode a trail that is a masterful blend of tech and flow complete with roots, rocks, rhodos, and 800 ft. of elevation gain/loss. This place is only 35 minutes from a major metropolitan area, temps in the 70's and no one else was there. I had the whole place to myself.
