Have you ever used an HP zbook from a few years ago with those soft touch keys? KILL IT WITH FIRE...and I'm not even picky about a keyboard, I think the one on my Dell laptop is good enough.
That's how I felt about that damn Apple PowerBook I had. The soft touch is crap!

Finished both seasons F1 Drive to whatever its called on netflix. Now I am helping Lola with kindergarten on her homework & seems like its 3rd or 4th grade criteria. Cylinders, spheres & cubes & shit? But I have no fucking clue.
Time for another dab.

Do it. That's on the same level as when people discover the benefits of a second monitor.
Logitech MX Master 3 acquired. Now I just need the accompanying keyboard.

My hands are not large, but apparently they are large enough to accidentally contact the touchpad while typing and all kinds of fuckery ensues.

Our road trip to Cali is supposed to be in june. I have my sincere doubts that it's going to happen but I've chosen not to bring this up with the wife yet.

wife and i have already talked about Maine. we hope it happens but aren't exactly hopeful. i mean, we could always Fury Road our way there, but i'm worried the kids won't be able to pull their weight in a raid.

I guess really depends how the peak is & how quick we can have the numbers drop but even though they say its moving quick. It still seems to be a glacial apocalypse.

Most kids can shoot a 32 caliber max with any kind of accuracy. It's pathetic.

I just ordered a Zee crankset from Jenson to put on my rigid singlespeed (2016 Kona Humuhumu). This will be the third crankset to go on the bike. The original died a natural death, and the second crankset is an old Hone octalink from the spare parts bin. I can't keep the cranks on, and the the pedal threads are starting to shred. I hope the Zee will prove to be more robust. I use this bike to ride with the boys, toodle around town, and go on longer solo missions in the spring. I think trails will be clear of snow in a couple of weeks, so having something I can ride to the trails on will be crucial since the parking lots (and ostensibly the trails) are closed.

Was going to order some Magura brakes for my fatbike (the Elixir caliper seems to be leaking somehow) from bikediscount.de, but they can't ship to Canada because of sarbolcovaids... so I got the cranks for the bike I can ride now instead!
