You should just come this weekend. . .
Have a juicy 9lb butt on the smoker.
Working but not too much on the plate today. Need to get my bike buttoned up for tomorrow. Have some field work to do, but it will be there next week.
Back to work after my quick trip out west and my computer seems to have been Crowdstriked. God dammit. Now I need to pack up my shit and head into the office to get the laptop fixed...there are certain applications I can't log into without that computer. So, I will waste this work day dealing with that.
Fuck yeah, go for it !
Oof...... Time to get out of bed. I'm too old for this shit.
Morning Monkeys.
First day WFH in the "new" office and already have issues. My chair is (still) busted and now I don't have the bed to lean against. So I need to source a new office chair or fix mine pronto.
I would rather not get another cheap seat in fear of having the same failure, but I am also not keen on dropping a grand on a pair of seats. I will keep cruising the marketplace and hope for a score.

Glad to be a shelter last night with Honey Badger and her son. Had thunderstorms all night and into the early morning. Forecast for the rest of the day looks promising.
Anybody paint their own frame? I'm tempted to paint my road and MTB frames over the winter. Squid bikes has some paints that are supposed to work well. No idea if they hold up better than garbage though.
Back in the day I did powder coating that was fantastic. I've done some rattle can since with good luck. I've only ever used Krylon.
This would totally work for $250 but he only has one. So office chair addressed. The sim seat is ok, it isn't broken like my office chair.
and thus starts 2 days of home improvement. Today the new HVAC system gets installed (95 afu furnace and 18 seer ac) and tomorrow the exterior walls of this old house will get blow in insulation (they have no current insulation).
I've rattle canned 1 frame. Looked okay from 6 ft, but the paint never got hard enough that it wouldn't mar easily.
Cant rule out user error. It always looked okay, from afar, but zip ties and anything mounted to it would leave an impression.
Then again, this was done in a garage during summer heat and humidity, so perhaps my expectations shouldn't have been high.
sand & prime.

Going to order the big ticket solar items for the house this week before the prices get nutty. Looks like it will be an 18kw inverter, (42) 400 watt biphasic panels and (3) 300 amp hour wall mount lithiums with room to add another 300 battery down the road if needed
In other news,
Need to start finding some drill stem pipe for the ground mounts

I've had good luck doing this but I paint it so heavy it's right on the edge of running the whole time. Takes weeks to fully cure. Nice glossy finish tho.
Fire and Smoke Map
HVAC guys pulled our old system. Duct work was rusted through. Mold. Plenum was rusted. I wonder how many $$ in energy costs we wasted in heating and cooling the crawlspace under the house. Damn good thing we are replacing everything.
Nice, that is a good link. Also props to a .gov website not pretending that Canada doesn't exist on a map.Fire and Smoke Map

Clicking around, its appears that these little yellow dots are new fire detections......today? Yikes bro.
:edit: actually looking at the data, the map doesn't display fires in canada, only air readings. So maybe those detections are actual fires already happening?

I guess I should go for a bike ride before the caldera evaporates me...
Well if this is the end it was nice "knowing" y'all!
