Up since 5 but that’s normal. Will probably cut wheat today. Will also probably deliver some double crop soybeans.
Need to get to the saw mill and find some red oak for a project. Hopefully get that started sooner than later.
Currently debating whether to walk 0.4 miles to Hardee’s for breakfast or just eat the crappy free one in the hotel lobby. Honey Badger and her offspring are still in bed. Or since I am a thru hiker I suppose I could just eat both.

We’ve had to cross open fields in direct sunlight and it feels like walking through an oven. Makes my brain boil.
Hello folks. Another busy work day. Our phones went down for half of yesterday, which I didn't need. I also had a mental stutter while talking to someone about stock comp and somehow the output was equi-cock-stomp-ity blending equity and stock comp into one mangled word. That was a funny hiccup... She still wants to meet though, so that's good.
I have already been to the grocery store twice today; first was because Wife needed unsalted butter to make cookies, and second was because Wife needed espresso powder and parchment paper to make cookies.
does she not know where the store is located? or is she unable to transit herself?
got a new bike earlier this year. getting another case of new bike-itis, but for a road bike. giant has a defy advanced with 105di2 for $3500......
i'll try and content myself with some new road bike knobby tires at half off for now.

Do you not know that when cookies are being made that you make the grocery run? Dude.
yea we don't have that rule in our household. especially given that I do most of the cooking.
She was mid-bake and asked me to go. Fortunately the store is just a mile down the road.
Blonde Dog® pooped weird last night and is now quarantined to the laundry room with newspaper on the floor. Meeting coming up in 11 minutes, then I think I’m gonna install new 31.8 bars and stem on the bike to see if helps with my hands hurting / going numb in long rough descents. I’ll probably take another spacer out of the fork, because spacers + higher PSI because I’m fat make for not getting all the travels.
Perhaps she is into cock-stomping?
Cookies, man. Pay attention.
I *am* a bit disturbed that people apparently don't know you can cook/ bake with salted butter, though.
Dislocated shoulder from sleeping on it "funny."
I should probably do that too. The last inch of travel on my fork is basically unusable, no matter how hard of a hit I take.
How is quarantining yourself to the laundry room going to help resolve fork travel issues though?
Crick in my neck I woke up with on Saturday is still killing me. Right wrist/forearm is still effed, preventing MTBing and I couldn't get an appointment until the 11th...
What’s the first new bike?
My road bike has been my favorite purchase of all time, I think. I’ve got so many miles on that thing and just want to keep riding it. Just saying….
I'm now happy to have *only* the last 1-1/2 inches of travel that aren't being used. I'd say I was only getting about 110/170mm travel out of that dang thing prior. I noticed it a while back, then just kept conveniently forgetting to have a look. Now that the long, rough descents in the high country are opening up, it's more painfully obvious something's up. Opened it up and there were two large sized spacers in that thing, took one out and it's way better—just need to readjust compression and rebound settings. Thinking I'll take the other one out before I get too deep into (re)tuning.
I think my 29er Ti HT I bought in late 2010 probably takes that bike purchase for me. But I love my Blackheart RoadTi now too, many good miles on it so far this year.
got a pistola.
my road bikes have always been piecemealed as a mix from hand me downs, part bins, mtb parts, and a few nashbar specials with a couple adapters thrown in to make it work.
I mean I built my road bike from scratch. There's still very very little I would change. It's been pretty trouble free aside from easton cranks easton cranking, alibayexpress cages oxidizing, and tires getting slashed....but I've found a reason to get rid of or swap 90% of my bikes, and this is one that I will be a little sad when it dies as I have no intention of selling.
given my lack of familiarity with road standards, i'd personally opt to pick something complete.
Probably better for shop thread, but this Ohlins fork I have uses a separate air chamber for bottoming/progressivity (not unlike some old Bombers) and it's the bee's knees. I don't want to ever go back to spacers to reduce volume.
Doesn’t someone make a little air adjustable volume reducer doodad? Avalanche or someone? Oh wait… Englund?
