Had a pretty fucky weekend but here we go again.

I have one in 7.875x2.25" from my old Banshee Spitfire.
It has Vorsprung's Corset air sleeve on it. Also still have the original sleeve.
How well will the Corset work with my frame?
So we've had a ton of enquiries as to how the Corset will work on your specific bike. Basically, this is dictated by the interaction between the spring rate curve, and the leverage rate curve. Let's discuss the effect of different leverage rates, and how the stock sleeve and the Corset each work...

I believe I also have a seal kit for it...somewhere.
On a conference call with 25 other people and it's basically 60 minutes of background noise and weird sounds, and occasionally I can make out some words. But fortunately IDGAF.
had a weekend, will recap, but coffee first
2nd psychiatrist visit. Probably will get diagnosed with ADD today (real one not "my child is acting out") so that's good.
The bad is my trip to Munich got canceled. Also no one in this city can service bikes. It's a 2.5m People city yet most bike services don't touch gear that's older than 5 years. What's the point of them anyway?

i totally slept through both my alarms today. oh well.
Sometimes one must make a life or death decision during a ride. During this morning's commute I made such a decision, and elected to pull over and take a shit at trailside.
It was the right decision. I was riding super slow prior to that trying to temporize. (Apparently my bowels are on a fixed schedule and didn't appreciate me being on the bike an hour earlier than normal to get to work ~7 AM.)

Slept inside last night and did so fitfully. Gonna have to get used to being inside a house again.

I hate when my bowels and the rest of my body fail to communicate. You get ready to leave the house, contemplate the pre-ride movement..... Nothing. You decide to start your journey, then BAM! Its a game changer
the labor day rundown:
friday - half day in the office, no boss. left after lunch to ride. awesome 15 mile ride. came home, hung with wife and kids, had wings, chilled in hot tub
saturday - we all slept in. kids swim lesson, and last trip to the outdoor pool for the season (the gym we belong to has both indoor and outdoor pools). lunch, kids nap, got some chores done (hot tub cleaning & chemicals, stacked firewood), then neighborhood block party. was a great time. they closed off the cul de sac around the corner from us, so it was walking distance. heard it was over 120 people, and 60% kids. my kids were surprisingly well behaved, took my son a bit to find his groove (he's not used to being around THAT many kids), but he had a blast. our daughter ran out of gas before he did, so wife took her home (maybe around 8). drank a bunch of beers, kegs were kicked by 9pm but some folks planned ahead and additional coolers of beer were revealed. best quote from my son "I love nighttime!" came home, he went straight to bed. hit the shed and hot tub then i promptly passed out.
sunday - woke up a little fuzzy, nothing that a double espresso couldn't fix. packed up the kids and swim stuff, headed to my aunts to spend the day swimming in her pool. kids had a blast (again). grilled some brats, drank a notably smaller quantity of beers, swam more. headed home. grabbed pizza on the way home so we wouldn't have to go out again, and didn't have to cook. pizza and movie night with the kids. all of us in bed early.
monday - woke up to a chore from wifey, had to get home depot box truck to obtain a chain cabinet that she found on fb marketplace. it was super close, but it decided to rain torrentially as i was on my way to get it. got soaked, but the furniture was fine. dropped it off, returned truck, cleaned grill then got a brisket smoking. did minor chores throughout the day, then said F it, watched the world champs replay, had beers and wings (tossed some that i'd been marinating on the grill with the brisket, so those got smoked and were fall off the bone delicious). brisket took longer than anticipated, but no biggie. more beers, brisket.
today is my son's first day of preschool, he is quite excited. gotta start packing for snowshoe. hey @jstuhlman are we trying to plan a menu or what?

In Jackson. Plan for today: 1. yell at car rental company. 2. Grand Teton NP. 3. Yellowstone NP.
hadn't posted since friday.
Back to work to find my 'leadership' has scheduled 12 fucking meetings per week to review open issues. Bullshit.
How's that going so far?
you should log "excessive meetings" as an open issue
He said coffee first...
Morning Monkeys.
Big interview day, very stoked. Had a productive woodworking weekend getting a ton of stuff knocked out. Will spend the morning prepping for the new gig.
Aviation Network Automation Engineer just sounds so fucking cool. They almost wouldn't have to pay me, just let me do the things.

Mildly sore after bombing 6000' of Mt Hood moondust yesterday. This was the first time riding something besides "the local trails" in years. I really need ride a wider variety of trails...
where the hell do you work that such a thing exists?Fuck yea......
Fried chicken and fries are being made in the break room!
Last part for my daughter's bike should come in today. Then it's assembly and we'll be ready for birthday time.
what weird beers did you drink this weekend?
Holy shnikies! The last few days went like this:
Rode Cement Creek/Crystal Peak/Star Pass/400/ Block &Tackle/Cement Creek. A+++++++++++ride. In fact, my new favorite.
Rode UP Deadmans Gulch, up Cement Mountain, across Rosebud and back down Deadmans Gulch. Again, SUPERB ride.
Rode up Walrod Cutoff trail, up 409 to Overlook, down 409.5, up To and then down Strand Hill, back up 409 and down Walrod Cutoff.
I'm beat, but the best 3 days of riding.

That’s rad.
Does it run on jet fuel?
runs on chemtrails. it's what they do with the expired stuff.
chem-fries 
Dentist this morning. All good and I decided to “WFH” the rest of the day. Legs are tired from three days of riding this weekend. How shall I remedy this? Maybe another ride today.
Had a weird rice and honey japanese style saison, an oxbow dance language and farm...something or other saison style, and finally a belgian triple from I think idle hands. Oh also a lime white claw
