You should go to Fuji to Hood on Saturday. Japan-Oregon collaborations in Beer, sake, tons of food and shenanigans will get you primed for Top Golf…

Sounds about right...
Good timing on bowing out of the circus.
He has a wife, you know...
Dude... "midget" is not the preferred nomenclature. "Little person," please.
Oooh. Burned right at the end!The airlines payroll system is down. On payday.
I think the wave has also crested here... besides the pretty much EVERYBODY in the company that can't get into their laptops.Did you get CrowdStriked?
I think we've crested the wave here, so I shall go have a revolution.
ETA: And now:
Did you get CrowdStriked?
Well, according to my bank, the deposit is in, but you still can't actually log into payroll at the airline to read the paystub.
Accurate depiction of me several times this week.
Those mother fuckers draw blood when they bite!!
Wait. I thought you were talking about hornets??
Those mandibles aren't for whistlin'
But also not made for biting people...
Ahh how well did I choose to take my birthday PTO today!!!
First Azure authentication goes down in EU and US, rendering every single one of our users unable to log in to their cloud environments, then Crowdstrike takes down about 400 servers, which had to be manually rebooted and remediated.
I'm still sending memes to my former co-workers from IBM, where even toasters and coffee machines have that Falcon shit installed.
Bald face hornets is a misnomer. They aren’t actual hornets. They’reapparently just mis-painted yellow jackets.But also not made for biting people...
The state of Oregon officiall something or other ag related website says:
1. They pollinate some things
2. They kill some pests
3. They bite (can confirm)
4. They sting (not sure. I don’t think I have been stung yet, bc no swelling. Just bleeding!)
5. They will generally fuck you up if you get in their territory… (agreed)
6. They are less agressive than yellow jackets (bullshit)

Perhaps those west coast baldfaced hornets are different than the ones we had in Michigan growing up. Those motherfuckers would sting you just for fun.
I've never actually heard of hornets that actually bite people - learn something new every day, I tell ya.
Bro, you don't even know if they sting. If they were like yellow jackets, you would know.
The week of September 14th. One of us is a local, and his brother (or maybe it's his sister?) lives in Nelson. He's got vehicles and toy haulers, which will make logistics easier. He might even have a shuttle vehicle (not sure how many bikes a Rivian can haul...). I've got flights lined up, I have 8 minutes left to pull the trigger... under $200 for the round trip. crazy.
edited: enough with the waffling. I booked the (non-refundable) flight. I paid less for it than for new cranks. I haven't done a bike trip in 6 years, so ready or not, here I come.

Off to Denver/Golden again….
Wifey watched a yellow jacket cruise up to a bug yesterday, stab it a bunch, then carry it off.
That's a yellow jacket for you. They choose violence every time.
At the track for practice. Double-header race this weekend, so only today for practice. She's already 1sec faster than the race last month and on her second practice. The fitness coach made a point about eating snacks and drinking, which she's been okay about so far. I'm still reminding her, but she's doing okay.
I think we're going to do the fitness coach though. She will really benefit and kind of needs it. I definitely do. So why not, what's a couple hundred dollars a month more?
Edit: in the 45min since I initially wrote this, her brake was acting funny. Turns out the master cylinder is starting to crack. So... Now it's time to find a new master cylinder. Fuck.

Undoubtedly.
I'm a bad hunter because I enjoy going for a wander, taking a nap, or getting lost in a daydream more than the actual hunting part. The hunting thing is just a great excuse to go fuck off in the woods, if I come home with meat that's a side benefit.
Someone should invent a sport where you can do that on a say a lightweight two wheeled vehicle
They've both got their own thrills. I'm an equal opportunity enthusiast.
Had the day off, spent it replacing the rakes in the kids car, 5 hours into it, I find the gas tank leaks.
Fuck me.
Fuck me.
Currently hanging out on the side of a convenience store eating ice cream and drinking soda. Just discovered that this place has a Taqueria.
I totally tried that on Frita and the diesel overwhelmed the adhesive by a lot.
The JB Weld held for the couple months until the new tank came.
survived annoying work meeting by taking charge and telling people exactly how things were going to be done. then burgers n beers lunch at hole in the wall soot with a co-worker. then picked up older kiddo's bday cake, came home and played catan with him. now ordering indian take out for me and the wife while he goes out to dinner with friends. then cake! then bed. because for whatever reason i'm tired af.

No guesses @SkaredShtles?
Clear Creek?
In this day and age I assume shenanigans include staying up until 9:00 PM and trying someone else's blood pressure medicine.
Thai food?
