Cloudy drizzly day today. I did actually manage somewhat of a ride on Sunday. Trails were wet, but gravel and was had. Oh well, one of these days it might dry out long enough to ride dirt. In the meantime progress on the van continues.

Did not get stopped and frisked this morning, so off to a good start I guess.
Hard "meh" today.
Howdy!
As I was out enjoying the beautiful weather whilst walking during my lunch break yesterday, the realization came to me that if a car were to swerve off the road and turn me 2D, at least I would go out knowing my life wasn't a total waste. I have done some cool shit in my 33.5 years.
For some reason the wife wasn't nearly as comforted as I was by this epiphany. Perhaps I should up my life insurance policy, cause you never know.

I am not quite sure what my reaction would be should I find myself in that situation.

Two more Chinese bots dispatched...
man coronavirus is everywhere.
I'm here. Was unable to get up at my early alarm to do a workout, so I just laid in bed until my late alarm 
Oh well. Too much going on taking too much out of me to do anything for me.
I did manage to stay up long enough to cut my seatpost and finish installing my chain last night, so the new roaddawg is 95% of the way there. Just need to wrap the bars and bleed the brakes, probably.

sunday i broke my phone. last night i broke one of my favorite beer glasses. i feel like i should just break something else to get the trifecta out of the way.
Two days of spinning and I need a break. It's hard getting back in shape when you are old. Hit 199 bpm max yesterday.
Break a leg. On company property, of course.
grey n drizzly, but supposed to be nice from this afternoon forward for a week or so.

pass.
LIfe insurance is such the guilt scam. Their Actuarials have run the numbers and are betting that you will live and they will keep all the money. You on the other had have fallen for their guilt trip and are betting that you will die before they get to keep all your money. I was an Agent for NW Mutual for a while. That industry is slimier than selling used cars.

Better get on it @AngryMetalsmith, lest you run into pipeline traffic.

I gotta poop, but first I must check into the ridemonkey MTB community. So hai!! 2200 yard swim done this morning. It wasn't a total shitfuck, but still pretty sluggish. I need to swim more.
So last week I forwarded a job posting to the recruiter I spoke to in late December and he said he'd contact the company and try to get me in for an interview. He told me to hold off and sending them my resume and he'd do it. I have not heard back. This morning an HR rep from the company e-mailed me directly about the position. Obviously that useless recruiter did not forward my resume like he said he would. I am done with that guy. Bummer too, because a recruiter could probably negotiate me a better salary than I could get myself. Anyway, I need to e-mail the HR guy back. After I poop tho.

Why, in God's name, would you EVER need this in flat, sandy Florida? My calves are exploding just thinking about pedaling this. Maybe that's why this 17 year old bike looks new lol
Gotta look XXXTREME, bruh!
remember bighitr? he rode XC on a DH bike.
Doesn't that @jimmydean character ride skateparks on his RM7?
Holy balls did it get awful outside. 
define awful.Holy balls did it get awful outside.
Wait, what's going on? I don't think I'm part of that story. Unless all this road riding has made me forget that I used to ride mountain bikes. But I don't think that's it.
i'm not sure "killed" is entirely accurate, more like left for dead.
California is soooo green.

My mistake, apparently. But I know Bightr passed by and left some
on the side of the trail somewhere out east who had had a pretty bad crash and just about bled out. Like, seriously lucky to be alive bleeding out.
