Coffee, breakfast, world cup. All done. Good to watch some racing again.
Chores all day. Some manner of grilling and beer later.

Happy day of birth @camadmos treat yourself to an extra slice of sad floppy ham this morning, it’s your day, you deserve it
Slept like crap, watching cartoons with 140lbs of dogs and 28lbs of kid in my lap, have coffee, will get this day sorted out eventually.

HBD.
Here. Haley's bday party is today. Seven 8-10 y/o girls here for a sleepover. I am instead taking Hannah to a hotel for the night so that they don't have to deal with her and I do not have to be there for the sleepover. I found a Transition Ripcord that the guy has listed as local pick-up only with a 15% premium over all the others willing to ship, which are going minutes after listing. Offered to pay for boxing in addition to shipping I have a bunch of credit with Bike Flights), but at actual market rate, so we'll see how that goes.

Bike acquired for large child. Scalable 24 > 26.
2015 Trek Fuel JR 26”
Bit more than I wanted to spend, but already been put onto a diet and will be ridable through both kids.
Any of you guys got a 31.6, external routed dropper post sitting in a spare parts bin?

I ran 13.1 miles on the high school track this morning. 90 minute workout...6:55 pace. Get some.
MTB with splat et al tomorrow. 'Bout fucking time.

Tell the boy that I say hello. Aching to get down there...
Thanks dudes! I got out for a solo ride and finished the loop that I had started last week, when my pedal decided to lunch itself.
Would have rather rode with some friends or any one of you, but it was great to be out. I got pooped on by caterpillars too, what a day!

Still waiting...
I gave it something alright!!
Gypsy moths are denuding all the ridges around where I live. Between that and drought, trees are not going to be happy.
good lil warmup ride for the mtns tomorrow. about to drop kiddo at a pool with friends and run some errands. then, burgers, beers, and world cup replay.
It's not a good sight. This is the second year of infestation in this forest.
First year in another local forest - that place is literally crawling with them. I expect the tree canopy to be fully gone soon, there are so many.
That was some good racing!HBD.
Watched the DH race and for all of you that are planning to watch the replay: fasten your seat belts and DO NOT check the Leogang thread!
HB @canadmos!
Slow day today after a late evening ride and a STRONG G&T to finish off a good Friday.
Got the motor(cycle) running. Did not head out on the highway.
Did take dog to don't be a dick class which went pretty well. He is shaping up. Lots better with/less distracted by other dogs.
Way better than any other family dog I have had even before any training...and the training is 3/4 for me anyway.
Here he is going for big huck to flat, ignoring the transition...

I have decided that 4 days of camping, is one too many. Perhaps my age is showing, but my tolerance for dirt and discomfort while attempting to sleep has quite diminished from it's heights of multi-week backpacking trips. Had fun with family anyway, despite the last night being Redneck Riviera camping at Rifle Gap State Park.
Happy Birthday @canadmos
And I trimmed my big bike's bars down a bit due to previous bruising of ribs from catching absurdly honking bars on tree.
Then lost my 2.5mm ball-end hex in my shorts and couldn't put the ODIs back on. Not in the pocket but *in* the actual shorts. The wrench slipped thru one of the vent holes in my shorts in the pocket and actually ended up within the leg. Took a while to find it but at least I found it under good circumstances

Hey, small world! We went three hours or so away to West Yellowstone, and went to bear and grizzly world. And who is standing there but our driveway campers...Wifey offered to take them out to dinner. Joy.
Oooof, sorry about that! Dinner with trumpy people would be exceptionally low on my list.
Staying in motels that normally charge by the hour isn't appropriate with your daughter.
It's a Wyndham, so not exactly bottom of the barrel here.
Guy had an 'I'm gonna keep it' vibe. When I asked if he needed me to call PD to come out, he bug-eyed. Told him I could text the Chief if he wanted it off premise asap, as he's a friend of mine and could get someone here immediately. He was on the phone with dispatch while we were downstairs getting Hannah her complimentary ice cream bar ("whatever you want!") from the store.
