Getting ready for the movers tomorrow. Not very much fun.
Good luck!
Drank too much last night. Passed out on the couch. 
Up early again with the kid. Hoping to get the dh bike out next weekend.

it can wait until midnight....picking the parents at the airport from a west coast cruise.
i have learned after moving around a lot not to get attached to furniture.....it goes to good will.
slowly getting rid of books i've read and books i will probably never get around to reading....putting all cds on hard drive and getting rid of them.....no tv....want to get it down to the next time i have to move it will be clothes, laptop, and bikes.
Just walked in door after all night drive from Baltimore.
Left at midnight on spur of moment to avoid the daytime shitshow north east roads can be.
Been up for 28hrs. Too old for this shit.
Saw some crazy driving on way:
Driver coming head on to me, going wrong way down I95.
A smattering of clearly loaded people, including an R8 going 40mph on Jersey pike.
A roll over just north of NYC.
Walked in door to see both sons cooking breakfast for mothers day, as id directed them to.
They of course then used that to cock-block me.

Morning monkies! I'm well rested today and look forward to an aggressive ride this afternoon, I'm taking the hardtail to help me out on the climbs. 
F'ing rain all day yesterday means road ride or nothing today 
More effing rain today. 
Zack the rescue puppy has decided he likes playing with my 4 year old Aussie Watson. He seems to be settling right in to his new home
Mother's Day flower arrangement was not delivered. Apparently something about being 'overloaded with orders'. Likely excuse - even spoon fed some crappola about coming in a 4am to get orders fulfilled.
In reality the kid instead went to a beach party the night before. Threwup and left.

This is an GMT, please update us on the rescue dog's pooping habits.

Another day of struggling to find a T shirt I own without a suspension design. Mom isn't fond of my involvement, so I try to be considerate in not reminding her when I visit.
...and they are all black, and she has a dog that sheds.

massive storm in the eastern part of the state yesterday. loud video, gets crazy around 2:45 on ...
Just because it was you, I read that as "a dong that sheds", and thought that was a pretty mean thing to say about your mom on mothers day.
Having trouble finding the motivation to ride today. It's cold, wet, and threatening to rain. My wrist still hurts from Thursday's ride, and I'm tired as hell caus the kids haven't been sleeping due to illness. And the kids are acting like crazy assholes so leaving them with mom on mothers day seems inconsiderate...
You sure they were on the wrong side, not you?

Yesterday afternoon: UPS store dropoff, recycling run (we had more than even our two 95 gallon bins could handle this past two week block), REI return, West Elm return (too-big rug), entered a contest to win a Prius and bought some floormats at the Toyota dealership, Costco gas/return/buying random foodstuffs.
This morning I took it easy by comparison and just pressure washed the winter filth from the garage floor and popped in those all weather floor mats for the wife's vehicle. Toyota doesn't even have a part number any more for floor mats for my 2007--officially too old by that metric.

So a friend's birthday is today, party was to begin with a ride in Stowe. Got to trailhead, closed. Now have two hours to piss away. Hitting a bar would be counterproductive.
made various meals planted plants for teh wife. boys mostly behaving. mother's day mostly successful.
getting ready to go to the annual curator's conference. this year it's in houston. so...meh. however, it's a good opportunity to see most of my colleagues from all over the country and network. drinks are always consumed. so there's that.

But Houston? Who the fuck???
Nothing like a good hard dirt ride with a bike fresh out of the shop where everything works like it was brand new.

Napped with the boy instead of riding. Then took him to the farm to see the cows be milked. Not a bad day.
I cooked myself too and it only took a little over an hour... I took the hardtail to my usual trails and hammered for everything I was worth. I'm super happy with 2014 Sid fork which has an appropriate amount of travel for my local XC trails, so far I haven't felt the need to lock it out on climbs. Today I consistently busted the rear tire loose on out of the saddle climbs, possibly too much air at 35psi. For such a short ride my shoulders are feeling it, maybe a wider bar is in my future.
One of the dudes I ride with has a bum shoulder and recently swapped out his 70mm stem for a fairly short one. We did 40km of riding last weekend and he said it is the best feeling ride he has had in a while. Not sure if placebo effect or not, but... He also already has pretty wide bars, too.

I don't want to be an alarmist but it apears your brain daisies have escaped... twice.

Yeah, a shorter stem is in the future, that might also help keep weight on the rear tire when I stand.
Riding the Cross bike like a fool. No helmet through the park. Daisies magically appeared.
Hey Serial Midget, have you ridden at Lost Trail? Thinking about attending a small shuttle festival there in September, trying to get some beta. You should come down for the Wydaho Festival at Targhee!
