Thinking about ducking out after lunch and tossing some dirt on berms and lips . . .
Read this this morning and had mixed feelings - don't like Wilson's getting the exposure - remember - Wilsons sucks. Everyone should just stay away! amirite, @canadmos? https://www.pinkbike.com/news/east-bound-and-down-boone-north-carolina.html
you coming to the south?
Was roused from bed at 5 this morning because "I need help with dog #2". Dog #2 had poo-splosion all over the damn living room downstairs. When I walked him yesterday morning he was having poo issues, but I had assumed it was because I'd given him a doggie aspirin the night before, which has upset his stomach in the past. It is quite unusual for it to be this level though. I'm kind of worried, he is an exceptionally old dog, at least by lab standards. Trip to the vet may be in my near future.
I have some reading to do, but yes Wilsons sucks! Its flat, no tech and not very scenic at all. Stay away from that place!Thinking about ducking out after lunch and tossing some dirt on berms and lips . . .

No determination on that subject has been reached at this time.you coming to the south?
dammit man, you don't go towards that, youThe group ride last night ended with hearing howling and/or screaming from the far end of the forest. We tried to go investigate but it stopped. I'm guessing it was the sasquatch coming for us.
Of course. The trip to the shed before the ride might have helped with that decision.dammit man, you don't go towards that, you
it won't load for me ... no watchie.https://media.vw.com/gallery/videos/7747
I've probably watched that thing a dozen times in the last 12 hours, reliving all 58 of those hours of my life in 2 minutes each time.
Yeah that whole VW Media site is effed up for some reason... just seeing that now after I posted. DAMMIT.it won't load for me ... no watchie.
Meh....Still recovering from the Baja 1000, still recovering from diving straight into a Moab trip afterwards. But alas, stories and race reports from our race and chase crew are continuing to be created... the latest couple are posted to the website and linked below:

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but we had a 6-person media team that followed us all the way down the peninsula, courtesy of Volkswagen. Last night VW released the first of what I hope is many videos from the race, pro shot and edited. What a trip. I can't embed the video (unless RM supports iframes?) but here's the link to check it out:

I believe the link is working now, and it has also been uploaded the to the YouTubes... for ya'lls viewing pleasure:

Well, if you ever come by the house, I'll feed you outside as well.So sorry to hear that...I have that problem as well. I mean, not from the dog, but you get the idea....
kick ass!I believe the link is working now, and it has also been uploaded the to the YouTubes... for ya'lls viewing pleasure:

Pizza AND drunken noodles? That shit's gon' make you fat, doc!Hello all
I have leftover pizza (fancy Mici's shit) and drunken noodles for my packed lunch today. #winning
Yup. Hence my interest in Chattanooga, though it seems COL is about the same, real estate is pretty cheap. If I can pay cash for a place on more than .5 acre it might be a done deal. Though so far my Zillow-ing isn't providing me with a lot of places that meet my demand for High speed Municipal broadband, the wifes demand for acreage to raise animals, and the kids demand for schools that are not shite. #firstworldproblems.The wife was looking at stuff last night and found a gig for me in Charlotte, NC for $100k. Then we looked at housing and I could get exactly what we want (single level 3/2 on +.5 acres) for less than $200k. We could sell our place for $325k, put $80k down and be living on a $600ish house payment we could pay off in 5 years.
WTF? I think I am a little old and my skills aren't as hot and fresh as they used to be, so they may not be hot on moving me cross country, but it sure makes the wheels turn.
NC monkeys seem to like it. I know a few that have spoken highly of the hipster vibe.
That ship has long since sailed. As long as I can still see my toes and tie my shoes on my own...Pizza AND drunken noodles? That shit's gon' make you fat, doc!
maybe she will send you Bear GIFs later. if she doesnt I bet @Westy willsoooooooooooooooooooooooo pissed off at my wife right now.
PIIHB NAO?soooooooooooooooooooooooo pissed off at my wife right now.
i'm about to open a can of loose bear on hermaybe she will send you Bear GIFs later. if she doesnt I bet @Westy will
WTF? How old *are* you, Old Man?bleh GI apt day. basically im going in just to make a colonoscopy apt.
I have spent 2 weeks on the east coast and I was in DC the whole time with only my skateboard. So my east coast exposure is limited and the wife thinks we need to at least check it out. Both my folks went to UNC, but dad took a job at Berkeley after he did his PhD and they stayed west. I know there are a couple "tech hubs" but there are SOOO MANY places to work here that it is tough to leave. It's just SOOOO EXPENSIVE now.Yup.

Also, currently CHA sees only 3 turns and one overnight, a day. That's the level of flying we had in PDX when they shut us down. Unless they are planning on spooling flying way up, that's not real confidence inspiring.
There's a reason for that, son.Yup. Hence my interest in Chattanooga, though it seems COL is about the same, real estate is pretty cheap.
