I think I'm going trade my frame. A sideways trade for one with more travel.

Just need to do the math on what I need. And if it should use mixed wheels...

I forgot what its like to drive in heavy rain and traffic while it's still dark out. You can't see the damn lane lines even with reflective dots. Wipers at full speed barely cut it. At least no one was going faster than 55.

Time for some espresso and food , did not get up early enough to even make coffee before my first transports this morning.

Worked some yesterday to finish up year end stuff before my exit sometime in early February. I do have vacay to burn before I leave, otherwise I loose it. Ride is on tap since it’ll be 45 freedoms today.

moving slow this morning but finally slept well. Trying to push the kids to enjoy their new toys...

Finally got to use JB weld, glueing the housing stop to my spooky frame in hopes of using the actual cable stops....we'll see if it holds up (probably will).

Did you remove paint or clear coat to make contact with bare metal ?

Nope. It’s an aluminum anodized cap on a powder coated frame. The powder coat is pretty rough with the metal flake and the ano is also not perfectly smooth. I don’t expect it to be perfect, but there’s a lot of surface area and it’s a very light force.

Warm temps and snow on the trails = no trails today :(

And with 85mph wind gusts forecast I better hurry up and get out there.

Really good mtb ride today on a sunny day with better trail conditions than I had expected. Just chilling out the rest of the day is the plan.

Next time, when bonding to a painted surface use a two part epoxy like Epoxy 330. And even then I would recommend scoring both surfaces where they make contact. A scribe or a sharp nail will do the trick.

Thanks for the tip. This is what I’m working with. Lots of surface area and low torque for the housing. Cable tension should keep it bottomed, but it splays out without epoxy. Seems better now, will let it cure for another 6h then do the cables

Biblical rain and wind can stop now, ok? Thanks.

Wound up hand digging about 80’ of drainage ditch last night with wifey to keep up with the rain. It seemed like it was raining feet per hour. Excavation guy coming out today to discuss better / more drainage.

Coffee part deux. Ended up home-testing positive for what'd Trump's Uncle wanted to warn us all about Saturday. Lost smells on Friday and, flavors on Saturday. Still testing, getting some sense of smell coming back to me. Coffee for example.

Just wanted to let RM know that I wanted to take part in RMSS, but in my own way. Something special for everyone. I just got around to checking Monday's Powerball ticket, which I had picked the winning numbers. They are: 10 30 34 35 37 PB:01 Was totally going to share the winnings with everyone.

This is an embarrassment to this country. We were getting ready to win this powerball drawing. Frankly, we did win this powerball drawing.

9163ft of verticals to go.

edit: cut todays ride short by about 950ft of vert because there was supposed to be 80mph+ wind gusts. Trees outside my windows haven't moved since I got home and sat down to watch the football an hour ago...
