Okay followup to my "call google" comment from yesterday. They have been searching for hours and hours and they found some phone number in a forum thread from 6 years ago and they would like me to sit in on a conference call to whoever the fuck this is. This is getting so good. I thought this week was gonna be boring.
I’ve been holding down the carpet at MD&M West (Aftermarket body parts & tools tradeshow) this week. This will likely be the last show my employer does, bc the return is considerably less than it was 5 years ago…hello! Trade show in boston yesterday. Pretty fun representing a 3 person company, trying to strike up new collaborations and partnerships. Traffic was awful- there's a good reason I don't do that regularly.
Okay, it was some accounting contracting company who were very very confused why we calling them. They managed to get handed off to someone in the back and that guy told us he wouldn't confirm what the company has to do with google and he DEFINITELY wasn't going to provide contact info for anyone else. The guy clearly thought we were insane and I don't blame him. They have been stymied and I can't wait to see what kind of clueless boomer tactics they come up with next.Okay followup to my "call google" comment from yesterday.

I used to insure a town and we got claims of this sort often. Not sure it would be worth your while, but you could call and harass to town to see if they will compensate
Hit a giant fucking pothole in the dark, in a construction zone on the way home last night. Front driver's side tire now has two sidewall bulges. . If I'm lucky, the tire is the only thing that is fucked.

I can definitely see why people don't like them, but I think it makes particular sense for little dudes like us. Not sure why the gold standard in lab automation would need a mainstage booth when they are the first choice, but I also met a weird little japanese company that works with the material that we need, so it might pay off.I’ve been holding down the carpet at MD&M West (Aftermarket body parts & tools tradeshow) this week.

Dragged my bike to sunny SoCal to ride - overheard someone say we’ve gotten 13” of rain this week.
Kind of. I am the devil, the deliverer of nothing but bad news - aka metrology.wait you're in the industry too?
For us it has been “show up, bc everyone else does.” We do such a halfhearted job of it, that it isn’t worth it.I can definitely see why people don't like them, but I think it makes particular sense for little dudes like us.

How long have you been in AZ waiting out the weather?!? Sucks on the timing.Was able to squeeze in a nice ride yesterday. Was hard to get motivated with the cold temp and gloomy sky. Barely got wet for 10 minutes.
Seems we might get a window of opportunity for Sedona next week.
