We got rain last night, supposed to get sunny in the next couple of hours. I guess I need to get off my ass and turn pedals someplace.
Meh.
crisp ride in this morning. I underdressed. Oh well, I just had to pedal harder....
edited to add: I also received my 11-42 10sp cassette from Suntour yesterday. Looks nice. Now I just need to receive my Radr cage from OneUp to install on my new Zee derailleur, pick up a new chain and I'll be ready to rock.

Coffee and doing a rain jacket pocket reapair on the wifes coat. I'm am hoping for two deliveries today. New Bottom bracket for my bike and a 40amp relay for the truck to fix the no power to the inside lights of the horse trailer from the hitch plug issue.
Mornin!
Started running conduit as part of my sprinkler system/drainage system rebuild. It constantly amazes me that some people are satisfied with doing such poor quality work.

Present and accounted for. Heavy hearted today, while I am recently finding myself doing very well, both of my brothers are finding life to be giving them extreme challenges. Older brother is facing a wherehouse closure of which he is the manager, of course the next closest is East coast so no good there. The other is facing the elimination of his position.
Sucks to see them go through this.

I'm back from Moab, Fruita, and Grand Junction!!! Great trip. Maybe some pics tomorrow. I had no crashes, which is a lot to be said for 13 days of riding!!!!!
wife has moved into a new role at work, with it comes more stress. i suspect part of that is learning curve. her solution is to quit her job and move to the south, with that comes the assumption that i would be the sole income. No and No.
I was on the other side of that I should not have worn a jacket since it was 65F this morning and a little humid. So I was forced to ride slow - the struggle is real.
You should start angling for someplace that has good riding. I hear N Carolina is nice.
Hot as balls out already. Lack of good leaf coverage makes it worse.
She would go there. But I won't. I told her anywhere south of the mason dixon line is basically off limits.You should start angling for someplace that has good riding. I hear N Carolina is nice.
Kid #1 is at 31 lbs and he's not even 14 months old.
pretty much. I told her the amount of good riding there doesn't offset the amount of redneckery.
The Onion-timing is perfect.

dude, i grew up in CT, ME, and upstate NY - there's redneckery everywhere. Any area you'd move to in NC is likely as populated by transplants as locals. now if you're just protesting hb2, i totally understand . . .
i grew up in pennsyltucky, at the border of pittsburgh and alabama. i've lived near redneckery most of my life. i was just giving the TL;DR version for you unwashed masses. one of my primary reasons for not wanting to move, is just not wanting to move. we've been in our house for 3 years now. this is the longest i've lived in one single location since 2002. i've had enough of moving for a few more years. when we bought this house i told my wife i wasn't willing to move for at least another decade.
There are rednecks everywhere. Grew up in NY, I find the southern rednecks to be less abundant and easier to deal with than the Jersey Shore types. However, this being a college town makes it quite different than the surrounding areas.

You can see thick clouds of pollen blowing around with every little gust of wind.
Charlottesville feels more like Boston than the south.
Tuesday is statistically the most productive day of the week.
I will personally do everything in my power to change that, starting today.

There's a woman who watches Layla when we're out of town and we've been watching her dog (Scout) when she travels.
She went to Vegas a few weeks ago and Scout cried non-stop for a whole weekend. We took him and Layla to a really large (5 acres) dog park with a lake in the center. When we were leaving he decided he didn't want to leave and just took off to the far side of the lake. It took 30 minutes and about 20 people to herd him back towards the entry gate where I could finally put his leash on. Massive PITA.
So she left for Japan this morning until Sunday afternoon.
We have a specific doggy daycare we go to when Wifey is travelling, as it's efficient for me to hit on the way to work. Since Wifey will be travelling on Thursday, they will be going to daycare. We tell the woman which one and she pulls the guilt excuse of "Oh, I went there and it was very cold and not big to play. People have much better reviews at XYZ place." Whatever. It's just down the street from the place we go to currently, but it involves crossing a major street with no light, so not efficient. Wifey is jumping through hoops, as the Bortadella shot was given at our place, but they can't find the date. They know it was done, but can't find the ppwk. She needs to get it to the new place today.
So back to this morning. I woke up to Scout whining and stepped on a wet spot, great, he peed. Then another and another. He basically dripped all over the bedroom. Let them out and go to the gym for my swim. Come back and find out that when Haley woke up he ran up stairs and started barking in her face. Layla put that isht in check though - good dog. We're getting Haley dressed and more wet spots - he's pissed all over her room and the guest room.
Then I get this email from Wifey:
Fuck.this.dog.Wifey said:
things i've learned:
-stoney hates inefficiency
-the trunk of a car is a perfectly acceptable place to store a child
-this dog must be related to R Kelly
all joking aside, sounds like a nightmare. yeesh.
at least you didn't say "boot" like some sort of limey
Sounds like the dog just earned a trip to the kennel until Sunday afternoon.
