Summer in Denmark has turned wet and cold. Not my ideal bike weather but as people tell me its good for the garden. Maybe I need to ride the road bike today.
Yesterday's ride was pretty demoralizing. Just had a rough day, hot and humid, had a hard time with features I've cleared for decades, some clown has been sanitizing trail in Ute Valley, and the skies absolutely opened up on me on the ride back home. Hmpf.....
Had an okay day, was ice on the car this morning but it was still a shorts and shirt day, coz Straya!
Couldn't de-adjust some brakes with the three adjusters in the work truck on a site today, turned out a Sunflag scraper was the tool for the job-
If I had to force the hub off the day would have gone well past a 12hr day, and that would have sucked.

Yo! I got out for an early road ride this morning. 25 miles at 19.6 mph....nice and quiet on the roads. Need coffee now.
GL. Was woken at 430 by that nonsense.
Yesterday was interesting.
Had a offer at one the other larger more corporate one said next week sometime.
The offer I did receive is ok, but they are getting a counter from me. We’ll see how bad they want me to work there. Would be selling Yellow iron again, which is kind of fun.

Hero Dirt!
Ridemonkey told me my dated '14 26er was unrideabru.
So I tested it. Today is run 44 beginning in May.
I must be doing this wrong because other than bruised not broken rib and likely broken pinkie finger, none of my bikes give me a shit eating grin like this steed and have me asking for another.
Of course, I like the DH bike feeling like my 24 dj cruiser with suspension, ymmv.
More importantly do any fine monkeys have a stash of 26 hoops, hubs, etc? Currently out of round and nursing multiple dents that will eventually/immediately leading to cracking (mostly due to my Hacktastic skillz) thanks in advance.
Sticky side down.

So, Thursday...we meet again, you shameless teasing hussy. Not quite the weekend, but oh so close...
Beautiful day. Ride night. Still 2.5 weeks before I can get on the bike. 
between the heat waves, forest fires and heavy rain, this is the first time I've really missed riding. But boy oh boy do I ever miss it now.
anyways, busy day on tap at work... boy 1 is taking the day off from canoe racing/training today, but will be doing his ski racing this evening. Maybe I'll go for a hike in the woods. I need some time in the forest.

Where are you heading ?t minus 2 days.
Time to start packing I guess. Hopefully my checked bag isn't considered oversized.
Anyways, le work. But first, coffee'ing it now.
Flying to a friends house in Calgary and then headed into BC for some shenanigans.
Oh and we are sending off my 15 year old son to NYC today. Flying on his own and will stay with one of his buddies. They had an amazing time two years ago and I think this will be even better. I wish I could have gone with him but it will be cool for him to travel on his own and as an American he can enjoy not having to drag his immigrant dad along.
Got out on the trail inbetween the rain. Legs felt better than yesterdays shake down ride post vacation. Bike felt great too. Now I just need to get back to the gym.

I had pondered yesterday getting out for an hour at 6AM before work, but after getting woken so early...nope. Looking at the forecast I'll likely have to do the hamster wheel indoors later.
You all good doode?
Yeah - round 2 just rolled through and it looks like 3 is right behind...
Got almost to the bottom of Chimney, skies opened and drenched us to the core, turned around and already back to work in the malaise factory.
Is that some sort of Malaysian curry dish? I think Uncle Roger made that in a video once...
@rideit is going to be disappointed...
Let's not tell him yet, he's only just underway on an 8 hour drive.Is that some sort of Malaysian curry dish? I think Uncle Roger made that in a video once...

More that it's either 100 freedums or I'm about to get zapped by lightningComplains: its dry out
Also complains: its wet out
that options would make 100 freedum units seem cool, by comparison.More that it's either 100 freedums or I'm about to get zapped by lightning
Here. Not feeling great, but better than on Tuesday. NyQuil wore off around 12am last night, so I was up for an hour. Just got up again, so breakfast, hide in the corner away from people, and consume caffeine so that I don't get withdrawal headaches like I have been. There are no plans until Saturday, so I have time to get better.
Am swim, not quite IAB stays, but think I did a solid 17 yards.
Now some work, continuing to unfuck an older prototype that sales sold 10 of even though it’s not released for production.

Yellow iron as in Cat? If so I may need a friends and family discount on a D8, for uhhhh, reasons….
lungs seem to be clearing up this morning, only hacked up a 1/4 of yesterdays lung butter. fever is gone. I still have this rotten aftertaste in my mouth that brushing and gargling gets rid of for and hour or so before it comes back. dose 4 of Paxlovid about to be consumed. covid sucks
on the bright side my espresso tastes great this morning

That might be the transformer nanobots in the Paxlovid killing the covid decepticon nanobots if it's a metallic taste?
I think I recall one monkey stopping taking it because they hated the aftertaste so much.
