Traded insomnia for night-terrors last night.

coffee is hot and delicious, sun is shining, trails are dry, waiting for Lourdes DH race to start then off to ride the trails life is great
Up for coffee and Lourdes, then riding of the bikes with @stoney & @Adventurous later this morning.
It is still raining which means anything dirt will be unrideable slop. Looks like a day of projects and home gym. Excellent coffee I say as I am 1/4 of the way into consuming a mug full.
watched wc. drank coffee. older son's been having asthma attack past day or two. not sure what's going on. had to take him to urgent care last night. another day and a half of parental visit...hanging in there.
Sucks about your son's asthma attack. Allergies exacerbating things?
I didn't have night terrors but dreamed I was working in Silicon Valley and had to go to some event on a Facebook campus. In that same weird dream I helped my parents buy a used red Jetta wagon and it turned out to have horribly scratched, cracked paint.
I'm not sure where these anxieties in my subconscious arise from other than the usual "too many research projects going" refrain.

Morning Monkies, slept until 8:30 for no good reason and it was awesome. There was a little bit of snow blowing around but so far no rain. Nothing on tap for today except rest and salmon for dinner. Resting HR at 55 or less for 3 days in a row.
Maybe not a night terror but certainly a nightmare, hopefully you will not have one where you are trying to polish out the scratches but they just keep coming...
Selling my tube amp today. It's time. Someone needs to use it to crush heads.
Bought new Pedals. Came home and put them on my bike. In replacing the cleat. I broke the plate that holds the cleat on. Now I need new shoes. 16 years is a good run. Diadora Chilis best cycling shoe ever!
What are you selling?
Mesa Buster
Got a call from craigs list buyer who still may keep the set of mavic wheels I listed yesterday, they won't fit his super v but he thinks he can make money selling them on ebay since they have never been ridden or even had tires mounted to them. He also wanted to know if I would refund the money and split what they go for on ebay. I said no, I already got half of what I think they're worth. He has until 5 tonight to return them but I am sure he won't because yellow spokes.
LOL at front page of today's Boston Globe.
I buy Amplifier. No Just kidding....
Ok, I'm ready to get back home.
///Mesa.
Traded it for a few dollars and a Fuzzrocious BDPG, which is now a discontinued product.
well 2/3 of the way through the insulation install in the garage, time for a lunch break.
U-Joint project was a success. Minimal cursing and lots of hammering. I only smashed my hand once but a quick first aid beer fixed that up. Pretty satisfying all and all. More fun than trying to bleed the first gen elixirs I have on my DJ bike.
Even found time to go for a ride in the unreadable slop. My buddy and I had to hose each other off after, like a homoerotic car wash scene, except wearing rain gear and covered in mud head to toe.
MMmmmmmm....Beer choice for todays race. Picked a random one from the Beer Store.
Not too bad..
I see shiny bike parts
Mission accomplished. Good ride gents.
Expensive ride this morning.
Came up short on an ambitious attempt to gap a rock garden.
Non-drive XO1 crank took the brunt, with 3 splines shearing off completely when I landed.
I found this out the next hill when the crank suddenly loosened, stripping out the spindle bolt threads.
It was a lovely 3mi walk out.
I may be pushing these cranks beyond their intended purpose with frequent lift days but in 28yrs of riding I've never destroyed the crank/spindle interface and I'm not getting any faster with age.
There was no damage on the bb spindle splines so I know crank wasn't ridden loose.
I blame SRAM.

sounds like a perfectly reasonable warranty claim to me.
I agree but have doubts.
These things look like they've been thru a Will It Blend session, especially the ends, but the carbons going strong.
I'll try and warranty after I'm back up and running, lifts start turning the 23rd and I gotta catch an early chair.
I was about to PM you about hitting Monarch Crest this August when I saw that thread. Going to miss that weekend by 7 days. D'oh!
Hmmm.... I'm thinking maybe you should switch it up? Wahahaha.
welp, wife was dropped off at airport for 6 days of meetings in Paris, kids were fed icecream after dropping off mom, stopped off at the park to burn off a little sugar, and now at 7:15 they are washed, teeth brushed, in their PJs and watching the Magic School Bus before books and bed. Not too bad for the first three hours.... let's see how long this lasts!
have you checked the bongshed?
Got railroaded to cook for my friends Nonna. She is from Sicily. And crazy as all get out. She got a little to frisky as I pounded out the veal. I brought the bread. Her sauce was incredible. Stuffed shells baked in the oven with feta like cheese with onions, parsley, and sage. I currently cannot breath....
