and here I go again. Another horse show weekend. Camper is not ready for the road but the show is less that ten miles for home. Next day off for me is Aug 21. Part I need to finish the refrigerator repair/ reinstall should arrive on Monday. What is that part you ask? well its two actually. I didn't like that there is no seal around the fridge so I ordered a tube of 2 hour fire resistant expanding foam. and secondly I ordered a new propane line as the old one had a crimp with micro cracks.

strong espresso this fine morning has me in a good mood

Was informed yesterday that the team I was doing work for is over budget, and my manager has decided to terminate my contract due to this and the amount of UX Design work they have in the pipeline slowing down.

Off to ride bikes with @6thElement and his missus here in a bit, happy Saturday everyone.

Was planning to attempt an easy cycling type activity this morning, but waking up in back pain may alter those plans. Will reassess after coffee and the morning constitutional.

Here. Going to Punk in the Park today because it's and outside show that shouldn't be too big. We'll all have our masks on, but want to enjoy a show before lockdown again. Wifey is excited to see Pennywise but somehow had never heard of anyone else in the lineup, so when I played a bunch yesterday she was a bit surprised. Should be pretty funny through the harder bands.

Wine fridge for the new dry bar shows up Monday, but the shortest timeline I've gotten for cabinets is now 8-11 weeks (down from 16-18). Depending on how long it takes me to finish other large projects, I might be building some cabinets...

Sorry, FT. :( I hate when people mention silver lining, but the job market is strong and remote work is the new norm so i think you'll find something better quickly.

My life has been pretty joy-less for a bit. Company running out of money meaning extra stress and long hours without any positive moments, fighting cats turning everything in my life upside down, wife not having any patience with them or me, my riding sucks - dafuq have i don't wrong, @FSM?

Being born is usually the first mistake. But unless you are crying, covered in blood, mucus and shitting yourself, things are looking up.

Not sure if good / bad but since it is Saturday and you are biking I'll go with good.

Was driving. Saw a fresh flower bouquet stand. The teenager helping his mom is a local shredder. I bought flowers and he delivered them.

Turns out my wife and I forgot it is our wedding anniversary today! Haha good thing I pulled over for flowers.

I have no idea where I am
Weighed myself this morning and am now the lightest I have been since college. Down to 164 lbs at 5' 10". Maximum bouncer size achieved was 225 lbs. Still have a good bit of flab to shed but my legs are ripped and all veiny. Just a tanning bed and a bic razor away from looking like a way too serious 50+ year old roadie.

Lake day. Showed some new arrivals The Way and they're overjoyed at what there is to offer. Kiddo's a little crisped but happy.

Riding tomorrow morning. Then off to find a desk for kiddo's upcoming school year of lots-of-time-at-home.

It may have been that for our ride today, you could chew the air. Probably not Foosing tomorrow as a result.

We’ve some how escalated from heavy rain to a constant roaring noise that is louder than normal conversation. Visibility down to about 20m, just from sheer raininess.

Wind was moderate today at 12 to 16 mph, I was happy it cleared the smoke a bit but it did change my plan for a road bike ride. I ended up taking the hardtail out along the river for some dirt roadie behavior. 21 miles in 2:15 averaging 9.2 mph. It's river trail so the total gain was only 1175 feet.


Since it's Saturday I knew there would be wake boats on the river so I took the kayak out for a few hours wake stalking. I got swamped twice but most of the boats were being manned by "sensible adults" operating in a "sensible manner". Last night was more fun but all in all not a bad day.

Don't you have to quarantine after you were in direct contact with a Covid patient?
