There's a special tool for it. Looks like a headset remover but size for bbHelping my neighbor to replace the BB on his road bike. Who came up with this f***ing Pressfit sh!t? When tryin to punch out the BB only the bearings came out and the plastic cups stayed in the frame. FTS!
I know, but I will never own it because I only have threaded BB bikes (minus the DJ, which is Spanish BB). Bearings were half disintegrated anyway, so not sure if that would have helped. He rode the bike until the right side crank nearly touched the chain stay because of wobble. Bike maintenance is not his strength.
Rough night for Hannah as the drug wore off in cycle. She's currently sleeping on the floor now that she has some Tylenol in her. No ski today because Haley's been sick all week. Going to be a 'Yay!' kind of day.
Dog was barking at coyotes and at noisy neighbors a few times in the night...sleep was not optimal.
Same thing here.
interesting....i thought i had bought the beatles "abbey road" off itunes the other day....which would make it the first beatles record i have ever listened too.....upon further inspection....it is a 2019 mix with the abbey road cover....wtf....
Grumble, grumble, rings, grumble...
How?
My electro horror punk cover project is getting a public debut. A DJ friend gets a kick out of it, so she’s gonna spin two tracks today. They aren’t even finished, but that’s sorta the spirit of this project.
Penis Massacre is happening.

Espresso and reheated pepperoni pizza for breakfast in the camper this morning. Ruth is off to a judges training in Sacramento today and I am over at the Equestrian center taking care of her horse. She is a Demo rider for Freestyle at the Symposium tomorrow. My job today: take the horse and the dogs out for multiple walks, drink beer, eat, surf the web. Tonight we go out for Mexican food. Win
I can only hit the winner button once
Once one gets “fat adapted”, as in either beta oxidation of fatty acids directly or formation then use of ketones indirectly, then it’s really not a big deal. I bike commute, mountain bike, ski (and downhilled once this season) in a fasted state.
I read a study on ultramarathoners recently as well, not that I’m doing any running myself. Point of that was that these super long distance athletes are in ketosis due to their exercise, despite eating up to ~400 g carbs/day, iirc. @stoney sticks to something like 15 grams of carbs to ensure he stays in ketosis—he could relax on that if he just ran 50 miles a day.
I have unintentionally fattened up for my thru hike. Only getting out once a month in November and only once or twice in December has not helped my fitness. Side effects of being a professional elf I suppose. Will lose some weight while getting back to regular training but I’definitely looking forward to eating massive amounts of food and still lose weight. Can you imagine consuming 3000-5000 calories per day and still lose weight ?

20g. And after 2hrs I need fuel if I don't keep something coming in. I usually eat small handfuls of macadamia nuts (2oz) or start my ride with one or two fat bombs (35g - 1pt butter/1pt coconut oil/2pt PB). That alone will get me going for another 2 hours. My intake is minimal and super fat heavy though. I'll take in 1k calories from fat within an hour and it won't cause and burnout like that much in GU packets would.Once one gets “fat adapted”, as in either beta oxidation of fatty acids directly or formation then use of ketones indirectly, then it’s really not a big deal.

When I swam competitively I was eating 8-10k calories a day
Cool
"How about 'DickSmash?'"
"That's a bit crude. But how about..."
I officially DID STUFF and I am now sitting on my ass taking NATURAL MEDICINE.
My collaborator and I were in a previous band which happened to have the initials PM. The CD that was pressed had “PM” on it instead of the full band name. My buddy said “that could mean anything... like Penis Massacre.” At that moment, we knew we found our future.
What it do, chuckos!! I ran five miles, then I did an hour on the Kickr. Got the grocery shopping done as well, and now I am working on the laundry. Meanwhile, the wife is in Florida for a girls trip. I am OK with all of that, which in itself worries me a little.
Just set up my new Kickr. Should be fun. I have five days until the big day.
finally took my coffee grinder apart to clean it. it really needed it. however, I seem to have cross-threaded it upon reassembly, and I can't get it to budge anymore. Not even with a strap wrench will it budge. I popped it in the freezer hoping that cooling the components might get them to contract, but I am highly frustrated at the moment.
it's a compak k3 touch.

I should sell an ‘artesanal’ kit with a hammer and some Plastic bags with skull graphics.
$200.
call it ‘paleo prep’ .
step3: Profit!
EDIT: I would call it “Hammer Time”, and it would be celebrity endorsed by the MC himself. Really appeal to the ‘neo-retro’ 80’s crowd.

With the right graphics and typography that would be a Hipster's wet dream.
Or you could market a version targeted towards the cross-fit crowd. But instead of using a hammer they can simply smash the coffee beans into their sweaty foreheads. I can see the commercial now, dude smashes a bag, downs it, beats chest a couple times then flips a giant tire over while yelling hard enough to cause an aneurism.
We've had a spattering of rain or three, we'll see what happens overnight.Its happening
It's been absolutely pouring rain since last night here. Starting to flood in spots.
@Jozz have an extra canoe that I can borrow??
Walking the big furry kid
Solid ride today. First real week back to work made me need it.
It was really satisfying to have my shifting working so well. Showed a buddy our jumpy trail (which he had ridden, but had forgotten). Much hooting was had despite the slop up higher.
Now, wife is at a baby shower, and both kids are at parties/play dates.
That means:
I picked up new shock hardware from the Commencal shop in Squamish yesterday. I should really be getting new DU bushings put in...
my old hardware is shredding my bushings these days.

I've had to resort to this before, but I used a meat tenderizer
First time back on the trainer since the big kaboom. 1/2 an hour, 15 virtual miles. It’s something. Good for the head.
