Figured out how to pull the rear fascia last night, so that's today's task. Friend's 40th bday party was yesterday. 8hrs hanging out with drunk people when you don't drink gets old around hour 5. Left Wifey there with the neighbors because I was over it. It was 55* and windy, having been for 3hrs, which was me. Did sleep for a proper 8hrs though, so that was nice.
Hitch installed, 3hrs later. While, yes, this hitch does fit, the mounting instructions are far from what Curt and eTrailer have published. In an effort to save other people the same problems, I'm going to do a write up and send it to eTrailer. The instructions they have for their Hidden Hitch and removing the fascia are awesome, this just needs a few more steps. Hopefully I can lever some store credit from it, since I'm helping them out.
Jumped off cliffs at southern most point in the US yesterday. That was neat. Had sushi and pie for dinner. Am having a pretty serious allergy attack of some sort this morning.
I got mauled by chiggers last weekend. Half my belly is covered in welts that are itchy as fuck. I was camping for our annual father's day riding weekend. It took me a while to figure out that I had left my bibs out, and they probably were hiding in there when I put them on Sunday. I haven't slept right since Wednesday.
Fuck those things, they're freaking brutal. It's so itchy I can barely think straight. Doesn't help that it's hot af and super humid out...
Oh, and @Lelandjt , the cog arrived Friday.
Thanks, will try and get it on tomorrow.

you had a good morning....i fucked up...
It's barely noon, ugh. The wife thinks maybe AC would have been better than the roof this year.
Supposed to be balls hot here too. Thankfully strong winds coming from the Straight of Juan Defuca is keeping things pleasant for now. Shit farther inland isn't so lucky so just kidding kicking it at home.
Just did a slow Belcher/Maverick/longhorn. Great trail...but my rear axle backed out, so my rear tire was rubbing against the chainstay for the climb and 1/2 of longorn.
Oopsy
Oopsy

Thanks for the tip. That's diphenhydramine I think. Which is essentially topical Benadryl. I've been alternating that with topical hydrocortisone, and applying ice when the itching is overbearing... And taking Aerius too. Hopefully it starts to subside soon.
I rode up it once before in ‘07, I didn’t suck any less or more. It’s a brutal bitch.
At least the temps were perfect today.

Very nice.
Kid and I hit simply all-time creek fishing conditions today. Probably 50 fish between the two of us... that kind of creek action is good for the soul.
Oof where didja go?
Booked a surprise half day guided wading trip for S and I in a few weeks time.
And now I somehow have ended up with a seasons pass.Hung over. Had to be up at 8am for work. Double ugh.
Talked the girlfriend into some mini dh. Screw climbing today.
Put airbags in the rear coils of my 4Runner in the driveway, in rain.
As I got that done I noticed the brake pads were mostly gone, replaced those rotated the tires.
Got problems with my bike rack I need to fix tomorrow.
Beer now.

My drunk neighbor across the street came by to check on us. WTF, your wife sent my wife a text 30 minutes ago asking if we were ok. Yes, we are fine. It's hot as fuck, but we have AC. Oh, but we don't have central air, so we must be suffering.
Then he posts on Facebook about checking on neighbors to get doors shut in his face. Because I should have stood there with the door open to assure you we weren't lying to your wife earlier. I hate this place.

Well I made it home. Truck developed a bad vibration on the way home so I kept it under 65 for the last hour. It has to be one of 4 things: lost a wheel weight, Tire going bad, bad U joint, wheel bearing. Going to take it to the shop sometime this week
Alternately, (1). Tell neighbor to eat shit and get sober, (2) get off Facebook.
On my way home I needed to stop for fuel. Jackson Indian Casino on hwy 88 has the best diesel prices by 20 cents. so there was a que for the pumps. I'm in front on the line and a guy at the end pump puts away his nozzle so I start Idling forward to take the spot. I'm in my F350 crewcab with the camper on so I need to swing wide to not clip anything. This prick in a black SUV cuts under me and tries to snipe the pump. I bet he thought gramps was at the wheel. I through my truck in park sprinted up to his car and dropping loud F bombs yelling no he asshole no fucking way you are cutting the line and taking my pump. He looks back and sees a 6 foot 240 pound bald guy in wrap around sunglasses with veins bulging out of his head that is about to rip his head off. He whipped out and went to the back of the line. Guy on the other side of the pump looked and me and said hey cool down no reason to kill the guy. My reply, with a big grin on my face: I fucking hate line cutters, he laughed and said me too. Got my fuel and left
So what you're saying is that you look like a retired cop?
He swears like one too.

Maybe, and yesHe swears like one too.
The wife is Facebook friends with them. I have a sign telling folks not to knock or ring the bell because the dogs will bark and I will yell. I told him that's why the sign is there (as the dogs are barking).
Pretty much all the delivery folks just drop and run now.
