I have not been on my bike in a week as it has rained approximately 6” since last Thursday. I am going to hopefully remedy that tomorrow as a friend from California is in town.

Cog railwayed. Then bulgogi bowls and boba tea for lunch in downtown-ish CoSpr, which seems a lot like Boise. Dinner with @Pesqueeb’s crew as foretold above.

While I will likely never get to try a real White Castle slider that's "fresh" off the grill, the frozen ones are absolute crap. :rofl:

Grocery Outlet had them on sale, so like a sucker I bought a box. I honestly don't think I could get high enough for these to be any good.

Only one way to find out!

I would like to ride one of my bicycles.

But I also value having functioning lungs, the smoke and ozone are ruining this bicycling ability.

I've had In and Out - they're marginally better than White Castle. :D
Animal style makes them ok. Without it it’s just a perfectly executed McDonald’s burger. With it it’s good. But Shake Shack still is better, which it ought to be for the price.

Stoney, can you rent Haley’s kart for future seasons, too? Seems a good way to cap costs.

No. You can do arrive and drive at huge national series races, but that is extremely costly.

Had to call into a late afternoon meeting for a conference call with folks in Korea. They are building a solution to something that our IT department has refused to implement so now we have multiple systems that do basically the same things but don't talk to each other. Kind of like having one email system were you can see the sender and subject of an email, then having to log into another database to look up the actual message. Well done.

…and I believe she’s a team driver, correct?
:rofl: :rofl: Not a SKUSA/SuperNats level driver, if that's what you're implying :twitch:. Team driver yes. Factory* driver no.

And here I am trying to figure out the math on getting a truck because the cost of storing the kart at the truck monthly will be in line with the increased cost of just saying 'fuck it' and getting a Tundra. All because the time I don't have, makes just chucking it into the back of a truck 10x faster than having a trailer.

I like Toyota and all, but why not an F-150 like everyone else? The power output stuff on the Powerboost (and Lightning, of course) might be useful trackside. Plus they're ubiquitous so discounts?

Fitment of the kart comes to mind
the Tundra is not bigger than an F-150. latter has a few more inches between the wheel wells in case he wanted to squeeze it down at bed level even.

The fuck is wrong with my sleep? 12hrs in bed last night after doing almost nothing yesterday because I was so damn tired.
The plan to quit work, have perfect sleep and bike ride lots has not happened.

That's a bummer. I know my sleep has improved considerably since I gave notice. Have you tried weed?
Nah, not yet, I think your numberplate gets flagged if you have a weed prescription and it's easy to get done drug driving with weed here.

I was supposed to get my heart checked a couple of years back for some issue that runs in the family but figured it can't be bad if it works fine when my sleep is good. Since then more relos have had checks and have found similar problems that others have had.
Will use the oximeter more in my time off to see if sleep apnea is a problem again.
