Thinking about some brifters to convert the flat bar road bike into a road bar road bike, plus some random little shit to keep around (multitools, tpu tube etc). It's my retail therapy these days.

Last meeting in prep for big RFP tomorrow morning. Onsite with while presentation team and a VP. It's becoming more clear that for this RFP especially, my part is a huge portion (if not the majority) of the pitch. Glad I get $0 for the sale of we get it...

Updated resume almost done. Buddy at company gave me some feedback and I just need to add a "skills" section now. Everything I've initially listed is almost identical to his. Since we worked together for so long, our roles required the same skill sets, hence the redundancy. But it is amusing that they'd be going to the same person.

got pulled over for expired registration this morning. oops.
Oh. Good reminder.

Wildfire smoke is going away. Homie is rolling in from Iowa so that should be a good time. Maybe a bicycle will get ridden? I just won't mention my sprained wrist and go riding anyways.

Any monkeys going to the MADE show in Portlandia this weekend?

Work is having an Employee Appreciation event this week. Really just a shitty free lunch under a big tent in the parking lot. Of course they had to close a large area of the parking lot so when I got to work at 6:45 this morning there was no where to park. The only alternative being parking at a satellite office a few miles away and taking a bus that runs once an hour.

So I showed my corporate appreciation and went the fuck home.

I have destroyed enough wheels over the past few years that I am getting pretty good at building them. Rim replacement last night took less than an hour and it is damn near the straightest wheel with the most balanced tension I have ever noticed. Probably helps that for once the rim wasn't shaped like a potato chip out of the box.

I have mixed feelings about it. I’ve seen a few short clips and they’re not bad. I kinda want to keep my memory what it is.
i have mixed feelings as well. on one hand, it's definitely nostalgia cash grab ticket prices. on the other hand, its nice to see them having (mostly) buried the hatchet and enjoying playing together again. and to see the misfits play a venue like MSG is kind of surreal.

Dancin' over rocks n' roots!
Afternoon folks. Started my day bright and early with my Varsity Field Hockey team (& JV too). Then it was off to a coaches meeting and then volunteered stuffing backpacks with school supplies for our school CARE committee. Got home to small one making me a BLT for lunch and tall one got me a gift card for dinner (she has gymnastics and didn't want me to cook dinner on my birthday). Shop called and my car won't be ready until next week sometime so I keep logging miles on the rental. Other than that, pretty chill for the rest of the day. Maybe some pool floating and hot time time and then who knows!
