Did not want to wake up this morning. It got down to 53 degrees and it was GLORIOUS with the windows wide open.
Rear tire went down to something like 10psi last night. Didn't notice at first until I tried to make a turn and the bike felt like a wet noodle. I guess the Rimpact insert did its job...

present. rain.
Mystery dog crated and slept great all night. Wish I could say the same. Short timing on funemployment, shit to accomplish today.
Slid out again yesterday. So dry and slippery with the dust. At least the new knee guards saved my knees.
Up at 4:30a to the sounds of our local Mockingbird performing its entire catalog of songs and imitations. Still going when I left the house at 7. Trails are wet, gravel ride later.
We took possession of a converted Sprinter last night. FKNA.
(Not looking forward to going to the DMV to get it registered, though)

Well, what?
Well water, d'oh...
Well being!
Everybody can go fuck the fuck off today. Not you guys though. <3 But everybody else. Fuck everyone.
Gonna take kiddo to the Jackson Bike Park today. Should be fun if we both keep the rubber side down!
Mornin!
Two things:
1. Listened to a podcast this morning about surveillance capitalism and the established link between the ability of online entities to influence physical behavior through digital conditioning. Excuse me while I go get fitted for a tinfoil hat.
2. Coming to the stark realization that I have no idea wtf I'm doing in my job at the moment. My responsibilities are way outside of my discipline and experience. Guess I have some serious learning to do.

Can confirm.
You know what'll make you feel better? A pie
Like in American Pie?
Pie solves all problems.
Good morning.
Good morning.
That's 90%+ of the working population, fake it until you make it.
This gig is interesting. I know QA, I know testing. I have been doing this for 25+ years. Some of that time has been in software driven hardware (like this is) and some of those environments needed work.
This gig is a hot mess. We got an email from a brand new customer that said "how can a released product have this many issues?"
So while building both a manual and automated QA process, I also get to learn about lasers. So there is that, freaking lasers.
Are there any sharks involved in this?
How many watts?

Currently learning about skiving and it's kinda crazy. Using a laser to remove a single layer from a multi layered PCB.
Saying "I don't know" has been one of the best things I've learned to do in my shortish career. Humility isn't a bad thing sometimes.
I've seen so many younger folks (1-5 years out of school) have that "I got this shit" mentality and refuse to admit when they can't do something or know something and really fuck themselves over.
I've got a problem child at my job who's in his late 50s and has not only an "I know everything" complex but also a "I'm gonna do everyone else's job" complex. In my short time at this new gig, I've already seen shit blow the fuck up that he "knew everything about" and "had the solution" to. Fucking guy.
Well luckily for me, there's a lot of stuff I don't know, but am willing to learn.
I possess only average intelligence and natural ability, but I pride myself on not giving up. Even when I should.
Hence how I finished every XC ski race in high school in last place. Other teams would have left by the time I finished, I was so absolutely, horrifically terrible at it. But I finished every single race.
Blah, blah, blah, enough about work, I want to see (interior) pixels from the new CVB...
Must be nice and done inside (sans stove...)
My first participation trophy!well, we think you're tops. keep that shit up, sport.
I shall treasure this forever.
Might be sans stove, but I hear that thing is like a big Dutch oven.
