Fvcking water heater went into overheat shutdown mode...again. good thing I have and extended service plan on the POS. They were out here for the same damn thing Aug 5TH
back at work. still stupid humid out. the simple act of walking out the door and pulling my bike out of my locker made me break a sweat. and it's only 68°F out. ugh.
Wife's birthday today. Unfortunately she is down with some school child bred disease. So, I've got that going on.
Ha, it's my wife's B-day too, and she is sick with some flu. To make things worse, it is her major milestone.

Man, I could get used to those three day weekends. Got ungodly stumbling around hammered on Saturday while playing golf (after all, how else can one enjoy it) and still managed to break 80. That was after shooting a 73 on the front 18. Lulz. 
Holy shit I'm alive after Sundays ride! 24 miles with 5300' climbing and the gnarliest descent I've ridden in awhile. I had a couple geniune, "OH SHIT" moments.
Hahaha, no I went in knowing that.
I'm probably more excited about the movie than a grown man should be.
Really nice trip to the Outer Bank. Great weather and some really fun big waves. Riding was not as good as I had hoped for. They have not done a good job making room for road bikes and there are way too many lifted redneck trucks that can't go into turns without moving into the sliver of a space there is for bikes.
Shenandoah Mountain 100 was over the weekend. I did not participate due to being fat and lazy this year, long list of friends were there. Conditions were perfect. Sadly a rider died after hitting a tree. Not sure of the exact location but it was in an area known for pretty awesome and rocky descents, RIP.
Howdy all. I'm engaging in self-flagellation via trying to change configuration/upgrade my Hackintosh. So far I've managed to upgrade the RAM and get it to still boot (after swapping around slot positions so it's not paired any more--stupid finicky motherboard). Still up at some point: getting USB 3.0 ports to work, getting USB to gigabit Ethernet adapter to work, and possibly getting a PCI gigabit Ethernet adapter to work in its stead.
End goal is for moar faster shimz-ness and for Matlab to run on the Mac side of things. (It does not play nicely with my USB network adapter setup since some machine ID is apparently generated with the assumption that an interface exists on eth0. Gah.)

Rode Whislter on Friday and Saturday in just about the best conditions I've been lucky enough to ride.
Decided to not push my luck (vs bike and/or wife induced injury) and headed home for Sunday/Monday with the family. Went on a light hike with post-DH lap creaky bones with the youngest in the kid carrier. That kid is getting heavy... The 3.5 year old managed the hike on his own two feet. That was kinda nice.
Was dark when I got up for work today. Teh suck.

On full time daddy duty...
take a nap ye Lil heathen!

Did not ride or run this weekend... Worked on the bathroom (paint is done, ready for floor, then fixtures now!) and did a lot of tree clean up! Buffalo tested out some tree climbing gear and removed some dangerous looking (and sun blocking) branches off of a leaning tree. I don't remember much else from the weekend!
nice tile job.
i'd have better luck reading/understanding sanskrit than understanding anything in this post.
greetings and salutations to you good sir...
I meant to type, ' the only Sanskrit one needs to know'.....
I'd just tell you to fuck off in American.
Hackintosh. This all stems from forcing OS X to run on non-Apple hardware. Latest: I installed the USB 3.0 drivers... and now the thing won't boot at all. It gets to the bootloader and then hangs in the boot sequence. :facepalm:Translation: Bought a Mac. Now:
We had surprise defensive tactics and weapons retention training for six hours last night. I am effing sore
honesty is the best policy.
Do you ever talk to yourself on a ride? I just got caught doing it...
Not only was I talking to myself, but I was cursing at the hill I was going up... "I F'n hate this hill......wait I F'n hate all hills..." about ten seconds later I crested the hill and found this nice daughter/mother combo taking a rest on their bikes. I quickly smiled and took off like nothing happened...and just about hit a tree trying to get away. Winner.
Oh yeah, it is balls hot out.

9 night miles tonight, in scorching heat and humidity. It is hard to believe that the hottest day of this year came after the Labor day weekend.
Now nursing my wounds with Indian take out and G&T.

So I went to inspect my brake pads to see if I should order a new set. One thing led to another and now both brakes have been bled and cleaned.
