Woman-child nailed her grades again so we took her out for dinner and movie yesterday evening. Girl loves her some sushi, and I'm okay with it.
Going to be a nice day. Shame to piss it away in the depths of the salt mine.

Long busy ass night. Glad I am home but going in early, then more reports, then meetings blah blah
Day 2 at the horse show. No one got hurt yesterday so I just chilled with Jake. Went for a nice run around the property just before dark. coffee then mosey over to the show office to pick up a walkie talkie for the day
Morning Monkeys.
Finally got Jer to pick a color, we are doing Sun Yellow frame and fork with the black accessories. He wanted green and yellow, but his brothers bike is florescent green and I think that was what he was stuck on. But I got it all in primer last night and we went over some pics until he was excited. This was the pic that sold him on the idea (His Mongoose Switch isn't his nice).
I think its a good look and the parts are in great shape.
Here is the stock bike, it was a little worn when I got it.
The rear brake was long gone, I tossed the front brake, it has a coaster.

Dafuq Mrs. CC operator? Your confirming I am making charges on the west coast yet you are calling me at early EST hour? 
Back in NYC. Good to see the wife and kids. Jet lag not so fun.
Looks like I am getting the house I want to buy. Just waiting for the banks approval and the sellers okay to keep some stuff from the house. So everything is falling into place. Its a big commitment both financially and work we have to put into the house but I thing it will be good for the family. Great location and tons of space with tons of outdoor activities more or less right outside the house.

Afternoon Monkies! I am just about packed for my trip to Dallas but decided I needed new Polo shirts at the last minute, currently waiting for the to dry then I have 4 hours to ef around the trails this afternoon. The weather is fantastic - mid 70s with a light breeze and zero chance of rain.

Dwarf mistletoe is my least favorite thing about now. Probably 10 pine trees felled this morning, still got at least five more to go.

solo dad for the day...kids having multiple friends over...so i'm hiding on the porch drinking bier
Strava that shit.
I'm like this > < close to making an offer on a house I just looked at. So perfect for me.
Ride complete. Getting to the trail was a shit show. Apparently it is yard sale day in one town on the way, so it was chaos. Then the next town over had a triathlon going, so they had the main freakin' road closed to get to the forest. And then the parking lot at the trail head was jammed completely full.
Good thing we scoped out this other fire road and got a PRIME parking spot, sunny but in the shade and absolutely no people. For how packed the parking lot was, we only ran into 4 riders out in the bush. We also detoured a bit and found some awesome trail. Also discovered a new beer break spot with a great view of the valley.
What a great day dudes. Blue skies forever, trails are in mint condition and the temperature is perfect. The only mistake I made today was doing a trail ride and not hitting up the DH hill. Tomorrow is looking like rain, so they'll be closed.
I purchased a bunch of pepper and tomato plants. Going to spend the rest of the evening drinking beers in the sun and planting these little guys.

Road tripping to Roswell. "Go fix plane" just turned into "just drop off parts". Probably looking at 10 hours of time and a half to be parts delivery bitch.
I'm okay with that.
I'm okay with that.
I too completed a ride, maybe not as awesome but still satisfying as I was able to school a newbe on a florescent green Trek hard tail. I am usually pretty easy going but something about this punk and his mirror sunglasses rubbed me the wrong way. The place I ride has a mile rolling climb back up to the car park, there is an easy trail and a moderate trail, the easy trail is a sustained low grade climb and the moderate trail has one short lung busting climb. I did not realize we were racing until we met up at the y for the last half mile, I yielded as I was winded and needed to catch my breath. Just before the last bit of single track we both stopped and small talk ensued.He was waiting for his dad and said I might want to wait too so I wouldn't have to yield twice. This seemed reasonable to me as they both might have been hot doggers, however this was not the case and they were both fucking slow. I said on your tail and his dad let me pass, the kid sped up but could not sustain and would not let me pass. This pissed me off so I jumped the trail on his left and dropped in front and hammered up the last half mile with everything I had. He gave a bit of a chase but could not keep up. The effort drove my heart rate to 178. Totally worth it but now I am zonked. Good to know I can race a newbe for half a mile and win...
I've been a bitch for much less...
Include a random extra part. See what they do with that. Something subtle, like a cock ring.
wanted to clean and lube my air can today. Can't get the can unscrewed off my debonair monarch. the can spins, but won't come off. grrr. oh well, it'll go back on, and I'll get the shop to look at it for me. And change the bearings in my links, that are fucked too.
whereabouts?
Are you able to eat the fish you catch? Or do you just release them?scored this for $70.00 delivered off Ebay
nice post work fire road run of 2.5 miles. I would have gone further but but a massive dump was calling me back to the camper. note to self: don't eat a boat load of veggies at dinner then go for a run next time
Depends on the circumstances. Backpacking: they get eaten. Lakes that are stocked,: probably not eaten just released. Streams where I am day fishing and i have food in the camper: release if un-injured otherwise they get eaten.
Went to Thuper Awethum and was quite glad I was properly prepared with duck tape as I ripped the seat out of my shorts and kept getting snagged on the saddle. A few pieces across the crotch for that ultimate endurpo look and back on the bike.
Had some discount Thai for dinner, red curry with fried tofu.

We get Steelheads and Rainbows that fight like hell. I release them as they are stocked. Perch, Pike, Walleyes, and Brownies get eaten almost always. I stream (tributary) fish in Public parks. Our county park system (Olmstead designed by the way) has a stocking program second to none. Our abundance is awesome. I can ride the same parks I fish at.
We tried out Thai Flavor on south Peoria tonight, as it made Westword's top 12 a few years back. Very disappointed. Mediocre, even. Although there was food left over we didn't have them box any of that shit.
Thai Pot is the best we've had so far, so we'll be heading back to there in the future even if it is ~25 minutes away.

Ah, I am in Carlsbad in the second half of the next week.
Wait. Do you mean to say you can go to a restaurant, with kids?! You can do that?! That's actually a thing?
Go to the cave. Watch the bats come out at dusk. Visit White Sands National Monument before Twittler allows drilling there. Take lots of water, people die out there every summer.
