Drove to work to get three days of paperwork I haven't done, still haven't done it and I'm going to bed.
Monday morning will be paperwork, unloading the truck and emptying 200L of waste hyd fluid, procrastinating is fun, till it isn't.

Went to sleep early, awake early. But at least of my own volition and not light driven. Wifey taking the girls up to downtown today so that I can spend the day studying. Hoping to get Wifey's new floating shelves installed at some point today, maybe as a break during study.

Got Haley's boots yesterday. Went by REI to just try on a pair of boots and found a pair of the next level up in the Garage Sale stuff. They were returned for "fraying plastic after 1 season", but it was just standard single season wear - abuse of the return policy. Good condition, 4 buckle, adjustable buckle, $170 boots for $50. Plus her feet fit nicely into the heel cup and they are high enough grade to get them fit.

where the trails are
Sleep. Glorious sleep.
Had a super fun ride with a friend yesterday, then grabbed some enchiladas mole and crashed early. Slept like, 8 hours? fucking wonderful. Breakfast, garage clean-up/chores, and a trip to the hardware store for a tiny ass drill bit.

Surprised that's not $15.89!
Turns out to be unavailable today as apparently they’re closed on sundays? Hmm at least found this out via web site attempted order rather than a trip.

Oh what a good ride today. Despite the approach to the jump being super-shitty and coming up a little short, even.

I mean, when your platano is this big, why worry?

I really don't know what I'm going to do when I have to ride in a place that doesn't serve three dollar breakfast on the trail.

Raised about a grand for the pumptrack last night. The beer garden was next to the taco truck. The damn queso taco craze is delicious. No complaints from me.

I have no idea where I am
Got another ride in which makes three this week and two hikes. Not too bad I suppose. Gotta bank as much fitness as I can before I get busy with the Christmas season. The less fitness I lose, the less I’ll have to work to get ready for my thru hike in the spring.
