Down right chilly this morning. Where the fuck is my summer?
Finally friday, eff airplanes.
Morning Monkies! Tomorrow is my last rehab session so I'm saving my legs today in order to pull off a blistering sub 33 minute 5K. Tomorrow also begins what promises to be a 2 or 3 week span of great weather.
The weather here has been great, if a little hot. I've been driving to work with all the windows down.
The air in the office today is stale as hell, I wish my windows opened.
Stayed in last night and still managed to somehow stay up until 1am.

sitting in dunkin donuts listening to assemble head in sunburst sound...clive and the lyre to be exact...
it's visiting me

going to be mother hot on the short bus this week. Only working until Thursday then its off to hollister for a three day horse show with the wife, dogs and one horse...nice to get paid to watch her compete.
Hey. lmfao
Back to work after a four day weekend. LAME. I thank Performance Bike for having 25% off wheels over the weekend. I was able to replace my dented rear tri bike wheel and save $100 (I am not shelling out a couple grand for aero wheels right now.....FTS). I had to replace that wheel. The tire was rubbing and punctured on my ride Saturday. A brand new focking tire and now it's got a hole in the side of it. I can probably still use it for trainer rides. So I got the old wheel trued a couple weeks ago along with a new tire put on, I ordered the new wheel, and I'm ordering a new tire. All told, my crash a few weeks ago cost me about $600. God dammit.
ANYWAY, 2400 yard swim done before work.

Spent a while at the sand bowl on the quad this weekend. Took a shovel and built a few jumps including a bigger 45 footer. Then some dude on a giant polaris tried it and rolled the atv so bad the handlebars almost folded flat to the tank. It was spectacular. Four of us worked together to bend the bars back up so he could get it back to the parking lot. It looked kind of new so I asked him and he had just made the second payment.
Yard and garden work to do.
Working on getting more bike racks set up in Vergennes.
Hope to pick up fancy new camping stove.

tri bikes LOL
total dentist move
The combination of allergies and my boss is making we wonder if I'll make it through this day.
they make pills for both those issues.
They can certainly clear sinuses....
Here. Put in a new garden bed in the front yard yesterday and I still have about a dozen lilies left to plant. Get to go by Home Depot today to pick up a pair of pots for the deck to plant them.
Working with my parents to pick out a bike for Haley for her birthday. Drove around to a bunch of shops and surprisingly most didn't have kid bikes. I'm debating between an SE Bronco 16 and a Specialized Hotrock 16. The SE is cheaper, but also quite a bit heavier.
It's just Haley and me through tomorrow, as Wifey's traveling. Otherwise, work.

permanently.
I'm gonna make an appointment with a physical therapist today. My body is all fuckered up. It's time to be strong like bull again.
I think my dad is interested in taking a mtb tour of the farm/neighborhood. It would be a gift to pedal around with him.

OR make new sinuses.
Getting one of these for my little shrimp (16 lbs @ $369, cheapest lightest 16"bike I could find...)

That's sweet. My parent's are putting in around $200 and I just spent $150 on a bouncy house, so I don't really want to fork out even more right now.
Appears that the shop got their shit together and figured out what was wrong with my car without replacing the engine. And did it under warranty. I'll call that a win. Now to see if/for how long it's actually fixed. I don't want to have to get all like this with them:
Summer seems more hectic than the school year, between kid's camps, vacation travel, work travel, birthdays, etc., can it be September already?
Need to call to reserve a demo GG bike today for my trip out west later this month.

Predicted thunderstorms are likely to impact my desire/ability to ride this afternoon.
At least it's a short work week.

aw crap, well it lasted 260,000 miles. The head gasket blew on my 2001 Volvo XC 70. Calling around to see what it would cost to put in a new one...$$$ I know but how many is the question. Looks like my 03 F350 is going to be my daily driver for a while. It only has 130,000 miles on it.....
Nah. Snow tires are more than enough.@stoney, need a new winter car?
Total side note: Wifey has decided that she wants to learn how to drive the M. I sent her a video of a woman surprising her husband by insulating their garage while he was on vacation. At the end of the video, she took his Vette out and did donuts for about 20 seconds in celebration. She said that it looks like a ton of fun and wants to learn how to do it. Donuts FTW.
i see ///Expensive ///Repairs in your ///Future
Spent a large part of the holiday weekend replacing the Front brake pads in my Land Cruiser. Salt does crazy things to metal automotive parts. There was lots of PB blast sprayed and I had to break out the torch to heat things up a bit. Not how I wanted to spend my time, but I did drive it to work today.
Today I am restoring the OSIA control on my 5 axis cnc router. So far so good. Fanuc>OSIA for the record.

Got Dad duty today. Not sure about riding.
I got one of these for my boy last year and it's been great. what I like about it is two hand brakes, as my guy never liked using the coaster brake. http://www.commencalusa.com/ramones-16-red-2016-c2x17825573
If she breaks it, she takes the blame for it. I'm trying to find a really big parking lot with no lights. I think the Arapahoe Community College lot is my best option for learning, but I'll need to find one for donuts still.
I didn't get called for a jury. Just sat in the room for an hour until those left were dismissed.
Thereafter I went to Costco because I have the whole day off for jury duty and I'm not wasting that! I then verified that my new electric lawn mower is not a very good lawn mower. Admittedly there was 6 weeks of growth since the turf was laid down
but it still was pretty sorry: 4 battery swaps to mow my 0.15 acre lot, of which not even half is actually grass? Hmph.

Best RM trailer in months... do not disappoint.
how do you fit both a house and a yard on a lot that small?I didn't get called for a jury. Just sat in the room for an hour until those left were dismissed.
