House was cold this morning and I felt cold when I woke up. I hope the wind will dry up the trails as I plan to hit them later today.
Espresso then off for an hour drive into the Delta to pick up a new account. Same run in reverse this afternoon. I would enjoy it more if visibility was more that a mile or so in the smoke. Yesterdays AQI was 180
Knocked out an oil change and tire rotation on the wife's car last night after work. Still gotta do spark plugs, belts, and a rear brake job on her car at some point though.
Saw a mouse the other night, so the war begins anew. I get the feeling the wiley ones know to avoid the traps. Can't have mice and a baby.
Same here. Could probably use it though.S'posed to rain all day...
I echo the rain comments...we've gotten 2.14 inches the past six hours according to the NWS. It'll be tapering down though over the next few hours, at which point I'll head out for what will be a miserably humid run.
we too experienced precipitation. 2.75" of much needed rain.
I was unable to access this fine internet establishment at work yesterday, and as a result was unreasonably productive. The 'monkey is back, so the plan is to make up for all that bullshit for fuckit Friday (thuckit Thursday?).
Also, my boss cancelled his planned vacation day today and is working. Current status of our group:

in the northern ga mtns for a quick trip before school starts. same cabin as last year. did a quick hike on the way over yesterday. all the blue ridge mtns got pounded with 6 - 10 inches of rain day before last so everything is super humid and creeks are high. should be lots of mushrooms!
for peeps who have been there, rain was so bad they had to evacuate the davidson river campground in brevard on weds. first time i can recall that.
hike today. trout fishing and paddling tomorrow. woof.

Wow... the number of campgrounds located in floodplains has always been of interest to me.
The number of permanent dwellings and structures within floodplains that are continuously rebuilt has always been of interest to me.
Present, unsure just how present
Building permanent structures in flood plains has obvious downsides. Temporarily allowing wheeled structures to park there knowing the owners of said structures probably won't want to park there during the kind of weather than makes floodplains all floodish works out pretty well.
Coastal cities lying below sea level have always been preposterous to me.
I get an amusing break from work for an unknown period of time now. Comp has been super slow with memory issues forcing restart issues and programs shutting offs. System nightly defrag decided to stay scheduled but hasn't run in apparently 2yrs. It's now on its 11th cycle, 20min in, and still not done - saying 18%. At this pace I'm not working for another 1:20. Guess it's time to build Haley's new dresser?
Eviction day dinner with my best friend last night.
Head played nice and I totally blew out the diet.
Prime Rib, Baked potato, 'shrooms, too much Cab Sauv and some mocha ice cream to tie it all together.
My kidneys are not happy with me today.
Nice back-ache, just think my ride may be tomorrow...

Found out last night that I will be giving a short wedding speech in Spanish for my best Peruvian friend next spring. My Spanish is “O.K.”, but this will be the first time I address a crowd formally. 250 people. Should be intimidating and fun, kind of!
When I was backpacking in Iceland most of the other people on the trail were from Europe. I had never heard a Spanish spoken with a Spanish accent before. Found it rather amusing to greet Spanish passers-by with the thickest Northern Mexican accent I could muster.
Oof, wife and I have NC as about plan C or D for our vacation next month if the smoke out west is too shitty to get in lots of riding. That would likely have been the planned CG. (I would put up the monkey signal if we did decide to head that way)
What kind of bullshit computer do you have without a solid state drive?
Fuck if I know. A work one?
Are you saying I should pepper the speech with ‘Pinches’ y ‘Cabrones’, and slur My words? Sounds like solid advice.

We have an active tornado warning with seek shelter yada yada NEMA alerts. First time I remember it here.
Mt. Mitchell State Park is closed as is most of the Blue Ridge Parkway around Asheville. Most of the town of Canton got flooded. And Pisgah National Forrest is closed.

Peaches, when they are good, are so effing good, like the one I just had. I was not expecting that when I bit into it. 
. 99 cents a pound too... May need to go buy more.

Educate me please?
Old HDD's were platters of iron filings spinning around with a head that read the data - a bit like a record player.
Solid state drives are just that, chips with no moving parts and a lot faster.
What does device manager show for your disk drive?
old HDD's have an RPM. solid state doesn't. no moving parts.
If you the know the fish hatchery all the trout got washed out. Places in Rosman and northern Transylvania County got 17”. Crazy, gonna be some trail work ahead.
