Did a quick 30 mile road ride this am. Kid wanted waffles this morning. She put blue food coloring in them. Gave me a little chuckle.
Picking up sticks in the yard the rest of the day.

I caught a bunch of buses and trains, ate a nice Filipino style chicken burger and finally got a bluetooth speaker for Father's Day tomorrow.
If anybody is looking at a Bang & Olufsen Explore speaker, don't buy it, they sound pretty shit and to use the app to adjust the EQ you need to create an account.
Why couldn't the Audio Pro have been in stock? Boooo!

Absolutely wild thunder and lightning storm last night managed to drag me out of my NyQuil induced coma for a bit. Off to urgent care in a bit so I can be officially diagnosed and get some free time off of work. Haven't been awake too long but initial impressions are that today might be rough. Body ache is back, sore throat is definitely worse. Ugh......
kid woke me up at 5 am with a bloody nose. the kid had a bloody nose, he didn't give me one at 5am.
gravel ride today apparently.

I would and I have before but not quite the right time being it’s a bit short for Oktoberfest and considering it’s a keynote for the 9/11 memorial it may come off a bit tacky. Sorta like eating your boogers during a haircut or eating tiramisu for breakfast
Do your train tracks buckle at those temps? Assuming you have trains there...High of 107 today.
Up early so I can ride before the pavement starts melting.
Hello peoples
Survived the aural onslaught from Phish playing their Labor Day weekend first show a mile up the road at the stadium. Got to remember to be up at the mountain house for this weekend next year
(got friends staying up there else we’d consider jetting up there as we did last year)
Kid bike riding at local flat park, roof damage estimate from insurer after storms earlier in month, and a trip to the Wings Over the Rockies museum are in store for today.

Wife has some unrealistic expectations regarding tour availability in the Jewell cave, but she knows better. Gonna be a long day in the SD today.
Skipped dinner last night, but not drinks. oof. that said, I slept like a rock.
Day 7 post snip, incision still sore, can't ride, bored out of my mind.

I'm sick too!!! COVID test says nope but I have all of the symptoms, minus the fever, so I will mask and keep my distance from the kids. Syd passed her drivers test Thursday so she was able to drive herself yesterday while I laid low at home just in case. Youngest was off biking with the neighbor kids and I spent much of the day on the deck hydrating and napping. More of the same on deck for today.

We did Jewell caves and it was great. What's her unrealistic expectation...we didn't book ahead (and it was pre-covid)
Only a few drugs to help get through the night, mainly the headache from a bit of whiskey that was consumed yesterday.
On the schedule today is a whole lot more nothing, probably hit the gym, bleed the XTR brakes with the HPX R 2.5 shock fluid. At some point I want to rebuild the Monarch RL again...not sure that's today. Maybe tomorrow.

That's a bummer!
You gonna ride anyways? You'll obviously get dirty and stuff but I bet most of their trails would be okay as long as it hasn't been raining for days.
Operation fancy pants is successful
spoils of war also included a belt, shoes and a nifty carryon
while I wait the 2 hours for a hair cut I will find a international charger and get my phone blessed for international use.

Wifey accidentally locked me out of the house last night while I was sitting on the front porch watching the storm. Starting to think it might make sense to get a smart door lock since Haley's getting older and the garage door is electric dependent.
Discovered that back to back jr-adult-adult races for Haley is too much when she's been up until midnight at a sleepover. And I'm pretty sure I got a new PR for standard adult karts today.

Not sure about train tracks, but it’s pretty easy to destroy asphalt by cranking the wheel while stationary when it’s this hot.
The biggest problem is that everyone’s brain starts to melt, and they become even bigger assholes than usual.
I had the garage door opener replaced with one with a battery backup a year or two back. Ain’t nobody got time to mess with the emergency release when the power is off, especially if on the wrong side of the door with no key. Built in MyQ integration is nice as well.
For the first time in months a weekend where interstates and major highways in the area don't have major closures for maintenance making getting anywhere a major PITA. Of course a bunch of witless dingbats decided to play demolition derby today so there are major shutdowns making getting anywhere a major PITA.
this guy always makes fun of me when I bitch about seattle traffic, implying its a myth
maybe find out what he knows?
More real estate doom and gloom
"I built houses in socal, which has a direct correlation to sun valley Idaho" Okay did you read anything I typed after that? You think the thousands of properties are just in SoCal? Cute.

I drove through the bustling bedroom community of Smyrna yesterday. You should look into it... was impressed by the froze-in-the-1970s vibe. The Palouse to Cascades trail cuts through town as well.
Haircut completed, picked up some hydraulic crimpers and now socked in with smoke from nearby starts. Good thing I am only here a day before moving south.
Wifey deadbolts too.
The Wyze deadbolt has been pretty good for me
