Finished the welding needed to prep my I beams for the bridge project. So excited. Then received a call that one of my retired LBS buddies put one through his brain yesterday. Hey get fucked buddy! Good luck with that. I'm going to miss him.

spider? It's a powertap integrated into the chainring. No idea if it works or if it's any good, but a surprise on a bike that was so cheap.
only in the parade
not sure if I'll tri or not, it's intended to be a TT bike for a local after-work beer league TT that looks fun.
@boostindoubles sorry to hear about that and sorry that you have to go through the aftermath. Is that the shop that was closing up?
Ventured down to the lake for a beer. We thought it was windy at the house, but holy crap. Saw one dudes ice fishing tent go cartwheeling towards the shore. Had to be careful on the ice, so as to not become a snow angel

Took kiddo up to MI today for her first day on the slopes. She had only skied in our yard before this. She put in a solid hour of making pizza down the hill. Many smiles and no tears. It was a win.

Jeezus, I hate Bob's Burgers. I know the show was written by people like me for people like me and I'm 100% their target audience, and maybe that's why it falls so flat...like they're not even trying...feels like it came out of an artificial intelligence targeting me for what I should like.
I mean, I've loved all of Loren Bouchard's other stuff, from Home Movies on. This feels like it's just phoning it in and demanding I like it.
It's not even entirely unfunny. I just hate it.
And my wife and now my daughter won't stop watching six and a half seasons every day and night.
Edit: Also, I had an epic climb ride today to the Avatar Tree. And a wasp stung me in the damned lip while I was standing still. Having access to beer and breakfast 1/3 of the way back down helped...cold bottle. The hot sauce was perhaps a bad idea.
And my chamois in the cheap Zoic liner was unforgiving and now I have suffered in a way biking has never before made me suffer. I think that set is getting thrown out.

You know what would help with that, don’t you?Steamboat again... cooked. And now the storm moves in.
New skis…
If I could take anything back from living in CO, I would have skipped fucking work on pow days.Steamboat again... cooked. And now the storm moves in.
So why are you driving home?
Drove 450 miles for Temecula (60miles north of San Diego) to Livermore in the rv towing the horse trailer with horse on board. Tacos and beer have been consumed. a shower and sleep will happed shortly as I get up for work at 0315.

That's too early.
Not done yet, but was busy cleaning up 9 door jambs and trim that the prior owners had done a horrific, borderline criminal job painting. I'm going down to wood in most places; they didn't bother roughing up the poly'd wood beneath so now it's either flaking off or gumming up under the sander. Good fun.
17k steps and 45 flights of stairs later it’s time for a Wild Turkey and some cake. Tons of small stuff moved, trailer parked up on the side yard of the new place, dogs got to check it out, the dog door is going to take some more training, but the kid has it wired. Movers coming tomorrow to handle the big ungainly shit, then we can actually live at the new place. I had no idea how much light and noise pollution there was at my current house, but goddamn, the tranquility at the new joint is insane!
If you haven’t bought new paint yet I’d look for a Dunn Edwards store and score some Aristishield. It’s spendy, $65/gallon, but it’s the only trim paint I can easily get good results with, also sands amazingly well after 24hours. That and BIN primer, that shit sticks to anything.
If you haven’t already, wipe that stuff down with deglosser/sanding goop, makes a world of difference on latex paint, or really any paint. A sander you can slow down helps too, but nothing makes it not suck.

School... work... the usual shit.
Heh.
My job is weird, I am a mechanic, job one- Fix framing gun bracketry, job two, try to work out what is wrong with a load cell on a wool press.
Part of me wishes my boss wouldn't tell people that we can fix pretty much anything, but the other part enjoys doing some weird stuff. I draw the line at tractor cranes, fuck those things to hell!
Excuse the undercut weld, the roof light was reflecting off the inside of my helmet but I stupidly kept welding.

Bittersweet is the norm when I want to go ice skating as it’s about 2 hours away.
But we went to the beautiful peaks at Swiss Valley. It’s only an hour away and since we were just going to be on the bunny hill.
Not gonna lie, this destroys the mental image I have of you as some sort of jobless vagabond.
Never heard of Dunn Edward's. Round here it's all Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams. Ended up getting the $$$ Sherwin Williams trim enamel paint that was $90/gal. Sure hope it lives up to the price.
Sherwin is good shit, that’s probably their equivalent to the DE stuff, but at retail instead of commercial price. Hopefully it goes on If you know the name of a good painter in your area just give the store their name and pay with a card, counter guys hardly ever care about handing out “industry” pricing if you’re paying in full, they just need a name.
