Kid is out of the house, so date night with the wife. We stayed home and made enchiladas and had wine, because that's how we party. Wine destroyed my sleep, so now I'm dragging trying to get ready for work. Windy out there.

Up early ish for a ride to beat the heat. Jokes on me it rained overnight so it's gonna be maximum humidity.
Here. F1 is on shortly. Then we're off to the pool with the girls for my parent's last day here.
We had a chance to look at the double-cab, long-bed Tacoma yesterday at the art festival because Toyota was there. Wifey kind of liked it once she got past the idea of not having a leather/luxury inside. All of us fit in it, with the Deckd system in the back all of my tools/etc fit with the kart on top. Plus, if we sell the All-road, it makes no change to the cost of our life. New conversation variable. Not that my goal is to get rid of the All-road, but this kind of solves a bunch of problems.

As the former owner of a CCLB Tacoma, I would strongly encourage you to look at the 150/1500 series as well. Unless the physical size is absolutely critical, the Tacoma offers marginal benefits. Marginally smaller, marginally better MPGs (conditionally), marginally cheaper. The half ton trucks are more comfortable IMO (especially for taller/larger folks), have significantly better power, and have better ride quality.
Out with the old, in with the new. Today is sliding door install day.
Heading out for a family vacation with the parents/siblings/SOs on Wednesday and damn are the wife and I picking up everyone's slack. I'm going to need a vacation from my vacation.
Off to another Crest lap before heading back to the front range.
@Adventurous. We thought of you on Starvation Creek yesterday. #neverforget

Watching Le Tour and sipping coffee.
Gonna be another humid one. Maybe get lucky with some rain as we need it…bad.

F150 with 5.5' bed is 2" wider, 1" taller, and 6" longer. The Tacoma really isn't that much smaller.
But hey, your call. Just relaying my experience. The extra 50 hp, 75 ftlbs torque, and double the range of the full size is awfully appealing.
Mmmm... Starvation Creek...
Hi there, buddies! I was out the door at 6:00 this morning and rode 58 miles on my tri bike. 18.8 mph avg...good ride but I'd like to get that closer to 20 mph. Wife bought me a Garmin Edge 1040 and I used it for the first time today. Very cool device...much better than the Wahoo Bolt I'd been using.
Morning Monkeys.
Waiting for the wife to get up so I can watch the race. She barely pays attention to it, but lord help me if I start it before she's up, dammit.

slept in until 0730, its already 78F out going to 105F, need to trim the front hedge before it gets too dam hot. Costco run then stay inside. After working outside all week in 100+ temps I need a day in slacking inside with AC
Supposed to get up to a whopping 76F today. I should probably pack as we're headed to Steamboat for the rest of the month.
Dont buy a Tacoma without test driving a comparable F150! So comfortable and roomy. My 2018 ecoboost got 20 mpg.
I just traded the f150 in for a Ford Maverick. Way smaller! I am in love with it, haha!
I even moved this dresser last night even, haha.

wandered around quebec. brunch soon. then going to nearby waterfall. will go see rise against playing at summer music festival tonight. kiddo is seeing some hip hop group on another stage. wifey will chill.
Successfully rode the MTB home (1600. Ft. Mildly chunky descent) from the concert I was working last night. Wrist is certainly sore, and I went super slow, but I’m calling this a success.
However, I am ‘hungover’ as fuck from working four late night concerts up there. Amazing venue, on top of Snow King with insane views of the Tetons. (•)(•)

jackson hole needs a outdoor amphitheater with fucking views like that.
Bike ride was good. Not as humid as I was expecting. Lots of hiker and trail running ladies, have never seen so many on one ride.
Stopped at the farm for corn, ribs for lunch, pool the rest of the day.

Hello chunky monkies
75 miles done and dusted. Felt awesome. Last time I did this ride I wanted to die, this was more tolerable.

Stoney: get a Lightning
/me installed Starlink up at the house then did some DH laps. Trestle DH is still fun/a bit scary but in general I feel too old and poor in jumping skills for the hill now. Gonna sell my DH bike for whatever it brings, vanquishing sunk cost bias. Auction will go live tomorrow morning.
(I can always bring my Shuttle up if I feel like paying for a day. They’re allowed these days.)

Likely going to have to sell ours too. Interested to see what you get...
Can we get a welfare check on @Pesqueeb please?
So far so good. Looked real evil for a bit, but then.......nothing. Just had a minute or two of sparse, marble sized hail here at the house. Some pretty good build up over the mountain at the moment, so we may not be done yet.
@Toshi I’m an old man who rides DH poorly and my wife claimed my bike as hers. Check PMs.
Toshi's is a medium, if you need a large message this guy
For anyone else, med and large mullet Commencal Supreme 2022 models. I'll post them up properly.
Went to the local park and kicked the soccer ball around. I ran out of steam pretty quickly. Legs still work. Le tired now.
went to rise against. was going to leave afterwards and get kiddo from a different stage where he was going to see a hip hop band. he said the scene was not hype and he's coming over to see my show. this is a huge outdoor music festival. fast forward 30 mins...i decide to push way up into the pit. guess who i find there? 
lil fucker listens to zero punk/hardcore but randomly met some quebecois teens and followed them there. pretty damn funny/awesome.
stayed and saw offspring too. good times.
