Hot damn am I tired today.
Last nights ride was great. We had 7 or 8 people out riding and the trails were bone dry, except in a few spots. I had the only injury of the night; during a minor pileup on some tight roots, I nutted myself on the top tube. What a glorious feeling.
Today will be taken slow and steady.

Looks like the kids riding their bikes the 4mi to school is ending for the year.
First I get a call from their schools saying they're concerned the boys are riding in low 20* temps, rain etc.
Zero Fucks given was my reply.
Today my son's sending me hate texts because the High Rollers on his bike absolutely covered him in mud on todays post-rain ride (they ride a rail trail).
Apparently this doesn't impress the girls at school.

Two days of professional torture ahead. 
Coffee then load more gear into the camper before heading off to work. Going to head for the hills as soon as I get off work on friday
tell the school you're teaching them to "suck it up buttercup"
'Morning! My legs are tired and sore today. Running is stupid. Looks like the next two weeks are going to bring 50 degree temps. What the hell is going on??? More rides on the douchey tri bike!
That was made very clear along with a healthy STFU regarding telling me how to raise my kids.
Agreed. I feel for the kid, such an awkward stage just turning 13.Apparently he needs to hang around some other girls.
I have a 14 and 13yo. Shit is starting to get....interesting.dan-o said:

I think I still have leg pump from my ride yesterday. My quads feel extra muscular! Last night I went to a Beer Angels/Homebrewers potluck. Lots of homebrews to taste...my favorite being a Berliner Weisse and it was REALLY good. I won some fancy glassess and a bottle of Russian River Brewing Supplication

Me too. FTS.
Second breakfast now in my face.
Fenders and a SIUP are in order?
I just accomplished the crucial highly American task of using Shutterfly promo codes. Holiday cards, a photo book, prints, etc. now coming to me at a steep discount.
Dashcam still Christmas cards?
Metting with client went well especailly since this was part of the meeting...
That is Lida the Avy dog. She works at our local hill but is still a crazy puppy & prolly wont be fully trained for a while.
I move in a week and am looking forward to being back in the mountains.
Christ....i cant believe it is thursday already. x.X

Today I got to work at 8 and reflected on how awesome I am and then realized nothing I have already done can be improved upon and what I haven't done can be delegated so I left at 10. I'm not going to do anything worthwhile for the rest of the day. I don't need a nap because I get 8 solid hours of sleep every night and pooping is not an issue, I haven't been sick in years... it's just awesome being me. Maybe a beer before lunch is in order?
the next time a dick bag runs a red light he can print a series of stills and send them to the offender with yuletide greetings...
pretty damn good actually.
When I was in Tahoe over the holiday I went to all my favorite spots & ate the bar in a few joints. I still had good conversations & a good time. Did I want a beer? You betcha' but mostly cuz there was deliscious beer EVERYWHERE.
I bonded wtih my bartender one nite about about not drinking. We both agreed that it takes a few weeks to really feel the benefit of stopping. It was cool to meet him.
I love bars & will not stop enjoying them & other drinking culture activities in life cuz I dont drink right now...I just wont drink at them.
So yeah, it is going a-ok. Getting over the emotional stress of a breakup was harder than the drinking bit.
I had displaced cartlidge in my ribcage for most of the ski season last year. shit hurt but there was nothing to do but tough it out. rib pain sucks.
naw sooner. my sports med doc didnt know shit. told me it would never heal. My PT friend told me that if I built the muscles up around the rib cage that would work everything out. I guess it did cuz I didnt stop skiing or climbing & it felt back to normal about 3 months later.
I had a bone bruise on a couple of ribs last year. It took about 8 weeks to heal. I went to a PT to help reduce stiffness and restore mobility between the ribs. Once I did that, it made the recovery progress exponentially. It was totally worth it, and it was only three visits I think.
I'm just going to be blunt here; you're fucking up. Recovering alcoholics/addicts have absolutely no business being in bars. It almost always results in relapse. The temptation is far to great and you are way too new to sobriety to cope. In order to maintain abstinence from alcohol you have to completely disassociate yourself from it. This means you cannot continue to hang out with your drinking buddies or spend time in bars.
I'm not trying to be a dick, just giving it to you straight brother.
So when I opened the studio door today, I found a nice letter from my shit bag landlord. Rent is going up, Merry fucking Christmas.
Morning Monkeys.
It's meetings Thursday up in this bitch. Hope to duck out early for some bong shed and video games tonight while the lady is on a work trip. Although there was talk of some pool at the strip club tonight after work, so we'll see how things shape up.

I could see giving up drinking, but going to juice only strip clubs is for the serious perverts (dancers are typically 18 and look WAY younger). So if I had to give up both, it would be a no-go.
<edit> But I totally see your point. Like being a non-smoker and hanging out in the bong shed making everyone else nervous.
no, i get it.
'preciate the straight-forwardness.
I won't have any disposable income once I move, so it will be easy to avoid these situations. -__-
One thing I have learned recently...I am great at making excuses & have always had a pocket full of great excuses to celebrate with many beers but now I have realized that I have just as many excuses not to celebrate the way I used to.
Again, thanks for your thoughts.
A juice bar strip club would be like a live Southpark episode... at a bar called The Juice Box.I could see giving up drinking, but going to juice only strip clubs is for the serious perverts (dancers are typically 18 and look WAY younger). So if I had to give up both, it would be a no-go.

GET IT?
I will save the still-prints for court dates. With any luck what I capture will make me a YouTube dozen-aire. I've already earned $100 from my videos' ad revenue… over a period of about 10 years.
There was a club downtown called "Temptations" (I need to see what it is now) that was on my route when I did Navy Shore Patrol during Fleet Week. It was a juice bar, so squids who were under 21 had a place they could go, so we also had to go. There were a few squids spotted when we did rounds, but the bulk of clientele were 50+ year old white dudes. It was a wicked creepy vibe in there, but the owner gave us free drinks.
<edit> I'm not 100% sure, but I think the rule was you had to be at least 17 to be a dancer. Oregon clubs are full nude, just sayin. And that wasn't/isn't the only juice bar in Portland, sad but true. Portland has no shortage of strip clubs, so if you have a "thing" there is likely a club for you to check that out.
