could have used more sleep but it was 5 hours of being totally out so that was good. Espresso , dogs fed and off into the darkness I go
The "meh" is strong today. Hoping to go pick out some flooring today and get the god damned upstairs bathroom finally under way.
hi folks! I'm here, I exist.
Rest of the week looks spectacular in terms of weather...of which each day I am working. I'll have to see if I can slip out for a ride and enjoy it while I can.

You got studded tires? It's still way too much ice that resists to melt here.
Morning. I too am going through the Monday panic. We have a major milestone on Thursday and boss is losing her mind.
Existential crisis Monday in full swing!
yoga 7/30 done. Waiting for temps to warm up a bit to head out for a ride.
Secured electrician yesterday. Almost all trades are secured except plasterer. With the high cost of materials during this never ending pandemic, I'm debating doing the plastering myself even though I've told myself I would never do that again.

Are the trails still that icy? Report from my bro was 95% good, with some muddy sections, and a few super slippery ice patches.
Plaster or sheet rock?
Looked at a house yesterday that had this as a bathroom.
There's so much to unpack here, but let's appreciate the small details, like the drip line from the AC running through the ceiling and into a piece of electrical conduit fastened to the wall inside the shower.

The industrial size rolls of TP are a nice touch. Some power pooping must be going on in there. I assume this is in a basement?
sheet rock
Indeed. The basement finishing was a homeowner special, and boy was it special.
Pretty sure they used a Pinkbike ruler to measure sqft too. Smallest 2100 sqft house evar!
lol no, roaddogg.
I do want to get back on the trails once it warms up, but we're in the "it's warm enough to ride, but you'll destroy the trails/it's too cold to ride comfortably" season.
Morning Monkeys.
Meh, at least it's dry until this afternoon.

the upside of starting my workday at 7 is that i'll get to call it a day earlier than usual.
Warm as a warm thing yesterday... as @Toshi mentioned he and I rode the same trail but like an hour apart. Like him, I was not riding at my most aggressive, and definitely slow-rolled some features I should have been driving a bit harder on. Unlike him, I kept all my blood inside my skin. Warm weather continues until it doesn't, so my plan shall be to take advantage and ride outside on dry dirt until it becomes less dry.
Given that most of Denver, Lakewood and Littleton appeared to be parked at Dino Ridge and Red Rocks when S and I rode through early afternoon on the road. How many of them were stood in the middle of the trail on DR, @Toshi also?
is that you, stoney?!
Yeah, tons of hikers. Not a ton of bikers but that's probably an illusion since we were moving along at about median pace.
So many hikers. Not the most I've seen up there, but pretty close. Surprisingly, totally manageable though. I rode with Teh Canadian and a buddy of his, and all three of us remarked at how relatively easy it was to still ride even though the trail was super busy... DR is good for that since you never really get going that fast, there's reasonably good site lines in a lot of places, and it's relatively quick to get back "up to speed" since you were never going that fast to begin with. And everyone we encountered was really nice, everyone seemed to be happy to get out on a sunny day. We hit that section where there are a few optional jump lines right near a group that included 2-3 families, and all the little kids were cheering for us as we hit the jumps.
one thing i'm glad about being able to DH again this year: no hikers, one way traffic. local trails are getting overcrowded with hikers, beginners, and strava warriors that sanitize everything
edit: the mountain/park i'm getting a pass to will be using RFID gates, so i won't even have to go into the lodge other than the one time to pick up my pass.

coffee and cigarette shits....my guess.
Down to my last 4 of 16 transports today. Windy and cold out, Storm coming in tonight.
Great gains in gamestop today, got some more saw work to do and mill some more timbers for the new place.
day originally started off very quiet. So I planned a lunchtime sneak ride since temps are supposed to go waaaay above freezing for the next three days. Then shit got busy with work. still went for my ride. it was the right choice. work worked out (good thing for smart phones though!), and the trails were in great shape. Smashed 6 PRs in the process of having lots of fun! and I was even able to ride with a couple of buddies. so yup, good call on the day.
