Up too early.
Fun ride, good beer and food and a little party yesterday, damn near felt normal. Today is going to be another hot one.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Trying to adjust to the fact that after being essentially captive for about three years, I have almost a month of travel looming.

 

[I Are Baboon]

Good morning, little buddies!! Slept great last night. MTB with splat today!

 

[6thElement]

Did not sleep great. :/

 

[Pesqueeb]

Can't get any of the work related mobile devices to connect to the internet this morning. Plus side is that it should make for a quiet morning, just going to suck if I need to accomplish any actual work. Oh well!

Did not sleep great. :/

It's too fucking hot to sleep.

 

[6thElement]

It's too fucking hot to sleep.

It was still near 80f at 9pm last night @ 7500ft...

Did two short rides yesterday w my offspring. Little guy is charging. He's doing great, but we may have to do something about his defeatist attitude and getting angry anytime things don't go his way. We rode a trail that was a notch above anything he'd done previously, it was fun! He's even aiming for rocks and side hits to try and jump off of!

The other ride was w my older boy, and it was his first since getting his cast off (broken scaphoid) a couple of weeks ago. His wrist was sore, so we stuck to a shorter loop on smoother trails. He didn't complain of soreness afterwards. I think he enjoyed himself, so hopefully we're headed for a good season of riding.

Ribs, sausages and sauerkraut for dinner, followed by a good night's sleep for everyone in the house... Hope to ride again today.

[jonKranked]

Damn kids.

 

[stoney]

Here. Spent a lot of yesterday studying and will spend most of today. Didn't realize that my study pace finish date was off, so I'm behind schedule by a week. I will not be doing much in the way of fun stuff for the next 2 months, as my free time will go entirely to study. Ugh.

 

[Pesqueeb]

Damn kids.

Know what would help?

 

[Full Trucker]

Working on the Bong Shed™ today, maybe a float if time allows. Maybe a short ride if not.

 

[HardtailHack]

I have chafe.

Do you guys have AC? Ours was struggling to keep up until about 10 pm. 84 Freedoms outside at 9, iirc.

/me is going on a solo ride in a bit. Had lovely morning snuggles with middle kid until about 5 minutes ago.

[jstuhlman]

squirrels are going nuts making crazy noises this morning. can't tell if they're fighting with each other or a raccoon or possum? coffee is good. not much on tap.

A bong float?

Horse tranquilizers?

 

[boostindoubles]

Riding bikes today. Hopefully the weather cooperates.

@MMike Y U NO LIKEY

Seriously? Ours wasn't trying hard to keep it at 75-77 most of the day and 73 at night. Guess all that new insulation we put in last summer is working?

Nope, hardly any houses up here do.

Older kid broke the soap dish off the wall in the shower last night.

Our cat killed an ermine and attacked a dog yesterday...

 

[rideit]

Made some hotel reservations in Salida for the 6th and 7th (midweek), can anyone peel away for some Cresting?

 

[StiHacka]

Rode early. Was warm and humid, but otherwise a lovely morning. New pedals feel good.

 

[sunringlerider]

Warm and rather humid. High chance of sky cry’s and cloud electric later.
Mowing and working on a pole barn I rented. Hopefully get my semi and and a couple tractors in it.

How’s that feel? I’m in the same captive boat except I haven’t planned my travel. I stressed out just thinking about going to a convention center, so I’m not sure how I’m gonna manage an airport, but it’s tough to go certain places without flying.

Obviously I'm in if teh work schedule allows. And I can confirm that at least Starvation is clear of snow and trees as of yesterday, so that's rad. The rest of the Crest should be in by the time you get here.

I'm going to be in Phoenix.

 

[eric strt6]

Here. Housework and taught trumpet lessons this morning. Heading to see my kids in their gymnastics showcase tonight (small one choreographed her own routine and tall one choreographed her level 2-3 kids routine--she's their coach--and a routine with her level 8 friends) so that should be fun. Lots of leftovers from over-cooking this week (I'm finally home to cook and made too much food...surprise) so I won't need to worry about dinner tonight or tomorrow YEAH! 9 days of school left....I can do this!

 

[Full Trucker]

No shed, no float.

Bikes.

 

[Sandwich]

doing some landscaping now watching tulsa tough live stream. Bike ride pending, nothing yesterday due to migraine or something

 

[jonKranked]

Soap dish fixed. Rained so not gonna work on the under deck landscaping, but will probably do a home Depot run for the next round of materials. Probably head out for a road ride after that.

i realize now that was ambiguous as written. It was 84F outside at 9. Inside it was about 73 against a 72 set point on the main floor but still hot feeling for a bit.

Nope, hardly any houses up here do.

:dislike: got to pop in a mini split like I did at the mountain house! Shit’s not getting cooler.

 

[Toshi]

Rode on bike paths from my house instead of schlepping out to the foothills.

It feels like it does when one breaks habitual patterns of behavior. Worried about the cat, would prefer to have a companion for the Hammondsport run, hope I remember to bring the right gear and food...

Flying I decided was done a year or two prior to the pandemic. Fuck TSA and fuck the airlines.

I’m with you on this. Except it makes the voyage to European destinations quite time consuming. There are also parts of the cuntry I’d rather not drive through.
