Well fuck me. Driving the Mercedes to go pick up dinner and it died at a light. Pushed it out of traffic. Cranks over fine. 1/2 tank of fuel. I think the fuel pump might have died. AAA tow has a 90 minute wait. This sucks. At least my buddy was home and took Ruth to go get her car.
You don't work for Valeo, do you?Auto industry slow down is finally hitting here....
Being forced to start taking one day per week off, which is in place until May unless something drastic happens. Other team members are being forced to take more. Sounds like our divisions in the US are completely shuttered.
Work is busy. Distances and virtual meetings make starting in a new job a bit more challenging.
In other news, riding is great. Hero dirt, nice weather, not too many people out there this evening. New fohk is pretty awesome. I am liking the short offset a lot, wayyy less floppy than the old fork. I don't understand how I always end up modding my trail bike until it feels like my DH bike a lot, but it is pretty awesome now.
because dh bikes feel solid and why would you not want your trail bike to also feel solid?You don't work for Valeo, do you?

I usually get that same vibe right after someone asks me to explain what an Albanian Steering Wheel is. I can’t always shoehorn that term into a conversation, but I’ve usually got it chambered, just in case.
No them, but a much larger Canadian company.You don't work for Valeo, do you?
I think I did most of them in my youth Including on SCUBA and Hanging 1000 feet up on a cliff in harnesses in Yosemite. God we freaked out some asian touists while climbing in Church Bowl in full drag with feather Boas and glitter, now that there was fun.And @eaterofdog has probably seen them occurring in public in his wonderful state
I need that picture in a frame next to the one I have of JBP in red glitter heels on a bike on an office.
wow! I'm impressed. Must've taken you days on that thing
You know I jest
Not much to share here. Currently self isolating. I have Covid-19. (Not even slightly jesting)

Heal up, monkeys.
Thanks @SkaredShtles
My partner also has it. (got sick a few days before me)
She's isolating at hers with her own kids while I'm at mine alone (my kids are nearby)

hang in there covidmonkeys
If you get rid of shitposters, it is 1 of 1.Yeah. but there's only 9 of us still post
But we have what, 300 active members? Of which maybe 50-75 are active in the Lounge?
@I Are Baboon, @binary visions what is the number of members that post more than 5x/week over the last year? That would be active, no?
But there are only 40 of us that regularly blather on...
I’ve lived plenty in the first part. I’m okay with easing my way through the rest of it.
And maybe @kidwoo?
Wait. Who is the "1"??
eh
I honestly think I had the flu because my sig other got a flu shot and she's not sick.
Plus my most prominent symptom was just shitting my guts out for a week. I only had a fever for 2.5 days, I'm kind of passing the 5 day rebound a lot of people describe right now and not getting worse.
I don't question anyone else here. The contagion method of this nonsense is no joke.
I am only on three Forums, and all of them are active covid victims.

I have 4 coworkers and one friend who are presumed positive but were told they were low risk and remained untested.
The friend attended a seminar in Seattle, traveled to Richmond, then Denver and back to VA prior to diagnosis. Mild symptoms were obvious since the first of March. Thankfully she self quarantined herself for the past ten days or so when she realized this was the real deal.

We're still entirely presumptive here. Wife was sent to doc then ER because of shortness of breath experienced when climbing the stairs in the 3-story-plus-basement place we're in now. (She called just to say, "hey, experiencing this...what should we do/are tests available?")
So it's not like we're on the couch sucking wind vainly and unable to function, as I've heard some friends are. But covid tests are in such short supply they instead ran a full cardiac profile on her, EKGs and chest xrays etc, plus a flu test. (All negative...) It makes sense, given the tests are needed for those going into hospitals and monitoring health care workers. All we would be doing is Couchella 2020 whatever the results.
But given the symptoms of slight fever, slight constant headache, shortness of breath (not critical but evident on stairs for both of us), we're presuming.

I have had slight constant headache for a while now, FWIW...
