Nope. I qualified with a 3:22, which is hard to do. I needed to run a 3:21 to make the cut...I was 69 seconds short. Dang. Heh...69.I should find out today if I was fast enough to make it into the Boston Marathon.
woke up to a "heat advisory" yesterday. woke up to a "frost advisory" today. It's 51°F out right now... perfect commuting weather. love it.It was just shy of 90 here in NY yesterday. Today, a high of 79. Bike is locked and loaded for a post work ride.
I've been rocking melatonin lately per my dr. and it's been helping a ton. Takes about an hour an puts me down.Up early because FU heath!
Another rainy day mean no ride is likely.
RIP Heff . .. what a life.
Close dude. Next year.'Morning! Masters swim before work. My swim is getting better, just in time for no more triathlons this year.

You sure do talk a lot about screwing.Got the deck boards in place and almost fully screwed in yesterday. More of that today, then ride with the local crew tonight. My friend from Bend may be in the area to join us too... crossing fingers he finds a bike on his way through... I'm sure he will, he has a habit of making things happen.
Oh yes, and job hunting. An industry friend reached out yesterday and I'm hoping to meet up with her this week, or early next. She has some thoughts that may be closer to home...
They're already there. It's not like I'm actively putting them there.

Met with the deck contractor at the new house last night and the slippery slope repair estimate will probably be finished tonight. It really comes down to the building inspector as for how much the repair costs.
Scenario 1: Put up treated joists supporting the rotted joists. This is a temporary fix and the deck will still likely need to be replaced in 3-4 years. Catch to this is that code no requires joists to be treated 2x10 or 2x12 depending on length. the existing joists are 2x8. To install 2x8, the builder needs approval,which means the inspector will be informed that a four year old deck has rotted to point of repair. That will likely lead to an inspection. If that is the case, then we get to option 2.
Scenario 2: Building inspector says joists have to be replaced up to code. Easy enough, pull the trex surface off, and replace the joists. But not really, because the box of the deck is also built on 2x8, so that needs to be updated too. The pergolas are also out of code, so they will likely need to be replaced too. That will leave only the supports bringing it up to the second/main floor (it's a walk-out basement). So now we're onto scenario 3.
Scenario 3: Code regarding deck supports has changed so much in the last four years that how a deck is supported would require the deck to be scrapped and rebuilt. Caissons are now required for the uprights, so that means machinery to dig the holes 4ft deep. Because it's built on the lower patio pad, it deck will have to be pushed out about 2ft, increasing the size of the deck and cost (I think we would eat that slight adtl cost because it is greater than current, which I'm fine with).
The contractor's estimate, from working with Douglas County for 20 years is that #2 or #3 are going to be the end result.
This should make for a very interesting conversation come the weekend once we get the structural engineering report today (likely no issues) and the deck report tonight or tomorrow. Either way, they are looking at having a very costly black stamp on the house if we fall out of contract.
I think it's more about a.) the fact that the deck has pergolas and b.) that there's more than one, apparently.They're already there. It's not like I'm actively putting them there.
"Mostly transparent fapshack" does not have the same ring to itI had to google pergola.
yuppies...
That is what option 4 effectively is. We get a concession at closing and then rebuild.option 5: full demo of the deck. rebuild to your liking after you close.

Out here in Colorado it's where you grow your hops and your weed. The hops tend to help hide the weed so the neighbor kids don't come over and snatch your bud.I think it's more about a.) the fact that the deck has pergolas and b.) that there's more than one, apparently.
Well, we are going to have some off color sections. Maybe I can get Wifey on board with black-bule-white stairs so we can use that trex on the deck surface.you can finally build your BMW themed deck

Open Air Fapshack?"Mostly transparent fapshack" does not have the same ring to it
Or, it could be called a open air fapshack
Everything I read I first interpret it as the most inappropriate meaning possible. I usually have to take a moment to figure out what the real meaning is. One day I'll grow up.Soooo inappropriate.....
My doc said the same. Melatonin didn't do shit for me. YMMV I guess.I've been rocking melatonin lately per my dr. and it's been helping a ton.
I assume this is a euphemism of some sort?Going to see a guy about building a bridge.OH BOY
i sleep like the dead when i take melatonin.My doc said the same. Melatonin didn't do shit for me. YMMV I guess.
I make it about an hour then can't keep my eyes open. Works perfectly.i sleep like the dead when i take melatonin.
