waiting on a call from a client today. should be starting another freelance gig this week. w00tw00t! In the mean time been setting up my etsy store, so if you know anyone who wants a vintage cycling cap made from recycled materials (very green!), a driftwood painting or other driftwood art let me know!

Good morning! The girlfriend started her new job yesterday which means more money and more riding time for me. Double win!
Had a surprisingly good mid-year review yesterday. Got noticed for stepping things up this past year and had the opportunity to air some grievances which were well received and acknowledged by the boss man. Hopefully things will turn around in that department.

Yo. Good trail ride last night. Dropping son off at camp them I'm off to Whiteface for a 1/2 day of DH!
Sup, yo!
THis week has sucked so far for me...hope today will be better. Going to sneak out of work early (Because the Man owes me...) and play some beer league hockey tonight.
kinda finished my Kurt Vile interview last night, but I need to tighten it up and write a better intro...
today is Friday for me! heading out to western mass for the Wilco-curated Solid Sound Festival, which should be a lot of fun.

Morning, monkeys!
Yesterday I had my follow up with my doc. Last visit (3 weeks ago) I had an elevated heart rate, so he ordered a bunch of tests and even got some chest xrays. Turns out I haven't been drinking enough water. The xrays looked great, blood work came back perfect, and as of today, I reached my goal weight of 220lbs. I was 292 when my dad passes in February and I had to buy a size 44 pants for the funeral. I am now wearing a 36 much more appropriate.
My daughters test results came back and what we feared was confirmed. Maddie has celiac disease, same as the wife. So we spent about 2 hours mourning muffins, churros, Fruit Loops, and anything else she loves that she can no longer have. I spent a few hours pulling recipes for gluten free churros, donuts, and anything else that isn't available in a gluten free mix. Bob's Red Mill has everything, so that is helpful. Now I need to buy a bread machine because I'm not doing it by hand.
She is in the bottom 5% for size/weight and now we have a good understanding of why. Starting yesterday, no more gluten and hope she recovers and grows a few more inches this year.
Taking the cats to the vet this AM, then field day the house and proceed with the job search and relocation. Oddly enough I had a guy call yesterday about a position here in town making nearly double what I make now. But my daughter has her heart set on going back to Portland. Portland also has many more gluten free options, so that will be good.

Sad morning in our house. Mid-ride Sq-Earl noticed a crack in the weld on the top tube of his 575 
Pictures were taken, e-mail send and now the waiting to see if it can me warrantied/crash-replaced begins.
Meeting up with Melou & Yelo tomorrow and riding Pine Hills Park then they're following me home for a weekend of rides in our area. Any "local" monkeys wanna hook up, just PM me!

Morning.
So very tired today. Up @ 3:30am yesterday to sneak a shuttle run in with the local Wed crew @ 5:30. Rode my new Sluggo HT. Then worked all day. Then met up with another friend and did a trail ride with a good amount of climbing, again on the Sluggo. My legs are toast. Have another trail ride and pump track tonight, so trying to HTFU.

Yeti will hook you guys up... they're good people out here. You might want to check in with Full Trucker too - he's pretty familiar with the boys at the Yeti office IIRC.Sad morning in our house. Mid-ride Sq-Earl noticed a crack in the weld on the top tube of his 575
Have a great time! We stopped off there on the way home from MF - fun times!
Yeah, everyone I have ever talked to there and here says they're great. I think the frame is just out of warranty, but we're keeping our fingers crossed.
Yeah, I've ridden there a few times and know a nice long loop so we should be good (and I am going to try and take pics too)
Do you mean to tell me Yeti doesn't have a lifetime frame warranty?
does any company still do that?
Morning all. Good news from the machine shop, the head for the motorcycle is not warped. Its being resurfaced as we speak and I should be able to pick it up this afternoon, then its off to BMW (break my wallet) for parts. Going to can some home made relish and prep a leg of lamb to smoke tomorrow as soon as I get everything from the store.

Giant does. Are they the only ones?
Yes, my Orbea has a lifetime frame warranty
Don't think so. I think it's 5 year but they will consider other claims (found that online but I need to get into the safe and check out the paperwork that came with his bike.Do you mean to tell me Yeti doesn't have a lifetime frame warranty?
