Hard to own an old bike with some parts pushing 10 years. This time around it was the wheelset giving up. Got lucky and a guy down the road had a 2017 DT Swiss E1650 I was able to buy for 75 USD. Not easy to find non boost parts. Testing it later today hopefully.

Decided to go fishing yesterday after work. Caught a nice chain pickerel that I admired and set free. Did a bunch of trail clearing after that, nobody seems to pay attention to this little town park.

Have to head into the office for team building later. Going axe throwing with a bunch of noodley armed enginerds. Should be amusing.

complete wheels no. still enough options on good quality hubs.

If the hubs are in stock. At least I have two wheelsets or 1.5 at least now.

Office arms, I like that. It encapsulates the smooth, hairless appendages that are suited only to clacking keys and lifting pint glasses, because they have no need for muscle mass beyond that.

Back in the office today, ugh. Had a horrible sleep last night, thank you cat. And forgot my cell phone at home.

Is today over yet?

 

[6thElement]

DSO decided it needed to bark at something at 230...

Lifts start spinning in under 2 hours though, first lift served since 2019.

Here. Back-back meetings 9-4.

Took Haley for a ride yesterday with a pretty substantial climb. She was grinding and doing well until the mosquitoes became unbearable, so we turned around. She did her first creek crossing and loved it. She tried to ride around the 4x and has now decided that she needs a full suspension bike. Kids these days...

Today is a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. And I'm going to Australia.

i can't wait to read all about it when the krankcyclopedia killtannica is published!

 

[BikeGeek]

Serious case of FTS. Two wakeups, then vacation. 7 days of Allegrippis and Rothrock rides on the horizon.

at this point i'm honestly concerned it's going to become sentient and go all skynet on us.

I *finally* have three employed children. Now to get them completely off the payroll.

 

[I Are Baboon]

God dammit.

 

[jonKranked]

God dammit.

all day every day.

 

[Wingnut]

Here.

Woke up sleepy. Coffee has done all it can to rescue the day, seems to be winning in actuality....

Parts holding pattern today I think....

Road ride tonight, went tire kicking at the LBS lsat night, kinda astounded what they think they can charge for a bike nowadays. My Ghost was just as well equipped in 2017 for $7000 less than any bike in that store. The Yeti is pretty, but not $12K out the door pretty.....

Think it'll be used from here on in for this guy. Might piece together something over winter and stick to road till i get some legs back.

 

[Full Trucker]

Early morning ride with a couple good buddies was just what I needed. might have been better had I gotten my ass out of bed early enough to at least make some coffee. Woof.

Hello all

Doc did a 3 week checkup on my broken foot/toe. Not looking good, and pain levels are still high. Now I get to see a specialist. Oh joy.

I’m vaccinated, have ton of PTO, and a little stir crazy, but I still can’t do much because it’s stupid painful to walk for the foreseeable future.

Which bone?

 

[mandown]

Which bone?

That phalanx hurts.

From my report.
Nondisplaced intra-articular fracture at the base of the first distal phalanx,
with less distinct margins, compatible with progressive incomplete healing. No
significant osseous bridging.

I assume you are in a boot?

Did @6thElement curse you with said affliction?

no boot. doc said it won't likely help. we will see if the specialist thinks otherwise.

 

[Full Trucker]

Try not to stub your toe. That's the only advice I got for ya.

Three days of oral exams to start my week, a root canal treatment today, my week can only get better. Right....right...RIGHT????

 

[mandown]

a root canal treatment today,

I just had two root canals on Tuesday. It was easy. Luckily it was on my lower front teeth so no crowns, and not a lot of chewing done with those teeth, so.

Last day of vacation and I feel like shit this morning so Espresso and Ibuprofen. Still working on cleaning the truck/camper so Ruth can take off on Wednesday for a horse show. She is doing her first Grand Prix ride on this horse. I was going to go for a ride but not feeling like this. Probably go out for a long walk with the dogs instead.
