Gonna be a nice day here. Wife and daughter made it to Paris safe. Son is off with friends to 30A for the week. I am going to work for a few hours, then yard work and wrenching on a bike. I still need to pack for my trip to my beach place for some fishing and home improvements. Departure Tuesday night on that one so I have time to procrastinate.
She can apex and knows to brake in straight lines. She's shockingly good at her driving games though.
I was talking with Wifey about that rally car at dinner Friday and driving in bad conditions came up. Haley, playing a game, pops into the converstion "never lift" and "if you're not sure, go faster" - That's her 'when in doubt, throttle out'. Wifey was appalled.
Good Morning Monkies! After a couple 3 weeks of variable schedules I am back to routine although that may change since I have a new boss. I go through an average of one boss per year. That may seem wasteful but
at least I am still here.

Hello.
I've managed to get two people to come out for todays trail ride. Though, there is still 30 minutes until the meetup time, so I guess technically they could still bail...
This will be first or second trail ride for one and the other guy rode his bike(s) maybe twice last year. Should be interesting.

I effing hate this universe. Right after wifey left for EU to see her family, we both got hit by the nastiest flu I remember in a long time. I am likely going to miss a couple of important meetings next week, including a trip with airfare and hotel already paid for - but fuck that. She's vising her dad after chemo - and she is now very afraid her visit could become a death sentence for him should he become ill, too. Not sure where we contracted that SOB virus but I feel responsible and unable to fix this.
Sign her up for shifter cart lessons, then racing
Today is turning bittersweet. Got my work work done and drive home passed some collated interstate. In an attempt to remove old disc brakes from my rehab bike I snapped a fastener head off. Messed with that for too long and still no luck. I will just drill it out tomorrow at work. Had I done this before I went to work this morning I could have used the drill press and been done with it. In frustration I took the hard tail out for an 8 mile spin in the hood. Watched some women's tennis at the halfway mark. Broke spoke on the way home, stopped at Oglethorpe university and watched some college baseball. Now I am home enjoying a Bell's amber ale in the shade.
Off to go ride dirt. film at 11
Amusement park day in Phoenix. I am marginally amused. But kiddo is loving it...I always forget how FAT Americans are until I leave Jackson..
Whereabouts is she from?
First open house today. Will be interesting to see if any offers will tick in this week. We worked really hard to make the place shine. Painting, cleaning and trowing put crap. Plan is to be out by July first even tough I would love to celebrate July 4th before we leave.

Trails were freaking AMAZEBALLS today. I am 99% sure that I am taking a personal day from work tomorrow, to do more riding of course.
MOAR
The ride itself was cut short. One of my buddies tires (both of them..) kept going flat. Of course, they only started losing air at the furthest section of trail from the car. I forced him to dump in a ton of Stans post-ride and he WILL be buying his own tubes to carry.

Futzed with some instrumentation in the travel trailer. Went on an eight or nine mile ride in sloppy wet melting snow, cleaned up some blowdown, crashed a lot.
My balls are also amazing. Going to hit teh dirt in about 20 minutes. 6:30 and still plenty of sun. 30 MPH winds though. Meh, my balls will love it.
*made worse when your flight is going to depart ~70minutes late, so I'll be at my hotel by 1:30AM if I'm lucky.
Cooked again today. I made hamburgers and mac salad and they were hamburgery and mac salady. This fat kid ate like 3 hamburgers in 2 minutes. It was amazing to watch. I had to give one of my burgers to the kid who got shorted. I put extra bacon on mine. Cheddar instead of American and delicious pickles I found at the public market in Toronto. Kids are like little versions of the assholes you encounter in life almost always.... I try to limit my interaction with them. I had to wear a headset and mic to explain to the kids how to safely cook a burger. I am not a captivating public speaker. The health department guy was just as bad. The local politician that was there was simply there for the free meal. What a douche. I got a date out of it so all was not bad. Another Jewish girl. Tiny little thing...
Rode for about three hours on some hilly rocks in Uwharrie with another gnome. No trail work, just riding and lots of sun. Good day in the woods.
Earlier this week I missed my flight due to a similar delay that resulted in missed connection and 8 hours of wondering about the Denver airport. I ate ate Elway's and Chik fil A. Cool story, cheap content? MEH.
Rode bike in the wind. Was good.
This is why I almost always pony up for the non-stop flight. It helps to live by a United hub, of course.
Non stop and Montana do know each other, plus company booked flights are always the cheapest. I was thankful not to travel through SLC.
Currently my friend Jason is stuck in Detroit and if he can't catch his flight I have to take a cab to his house and watch his teenage kids. I am not aware of any bad weather, So I am calling Bullshit,
nice mt bike ride at Brushy Peak although what trails the heavy winter rains didn't trash the range cattle did. The trails were rough as hell, I crashed 3 times trying to clear obstacles. Much Fun was had. not to mention that I got to herd some cows LOL
Seriously. I hate that airport.
