I must have a hot shower immediately.
It's a beautiful sunny day out. I'm about to bring my son to the first of two 3-hour evaluations to determine the level and extent of his ADHD. At least we'll have something concrete to work with.
have a good day...

Meh. FTS. I shall GTFO.
Sunny. I'm sore.
Meetings. All of them. Actually hoping for rain today as trails are loose/dusty and the pollen in the air is so bad it's actually hard to ride even with glasses on. Had to stop half way through our jump lines yesterday cause I couldn't see shit.
hrmf
back is still slightly sore but that didn't stop me from spinning on the bike at a hard pace for an hour last night. I hate waiting for my coffee to brew. I need it now dammit.
dumped rain all last night

Mornin!
I "moved" cubes yesterday. I put that in quotes because they took my stuff and it is still nowhere to be found. Oh well, it's my Friday, I shan't let this bother me.

Bought a new DH frame last week - yay.
Discovered it was the wrong size on Sunday - boo.
Got my money back from the seller yesterday - yay.
Annoyed because it was a great deal and I loved the new frame - boo
Found something else I like from the bay area - yay.
Seller won't ship - boo.
Search continues.

Played hooky from W. yesterday. Got some work done on an impromptu bathroom remodel that started on Saturday. Sunday was all about Family / friends and bikes. It became apparent that my son will need a bike that he can use to commute home from Football practice all summer, so... I finished installing the XT brakes I scored off of @Westy , on my old Gary Fisher. (they work great by the way). bought some new commuting tires for the old Kona, so the boy has fresh rubber underneath him. taught him to change the tires and tubes. bought and installed some combo pedals on the bike for him. This way he has flats to use for now and the spd compatible flip side will work for me and give him an upgrade potentiality in the future.
Spent some time fitting him on the Kona, tweaking the stem height, saddle height, angle and setback. Went for a little ride and played some follow the leader in a nearby park. I need to buy a new fork for this bike if he is going to use it.

More rain........ Oh well, guess I won't weed the yards. I'll paint our bedroom, go to the dumps, and mail daughter's taxes.
Fun day ahead.

Still coughing up gobs of hell. This needs to be done already.

Starting the day cleaning up the mess of oil and coolant that became my first of 3 showers yesterday..
Threats of rain forced me to drive the car today.
I miss Saturday....

Turns out I'm not needed at the appointment. But I don't have time to go to work, so I went to check out the melt situation on the trails. Turns out there's still a bit of snow and lots of standing water. I was going to try and ride tonight , but I think there's too much water. Maybe on the weekend.
Sucks. There was a mom and son combo at the trails last Friday, they came down from Ottawa for one of the first XC races. They looked happy when I told them that the trails are completely dry and ready to be ripped. Sad faces then appeared after I told them about the lack of rocks.
Swing a leg down here, trails are mostly good to go.
Sadly, you're a little too far for an after bedtime rip... Soon though, soon. Likewise, if ever you're in the area, let me know and I'll happily show you around.Sucks.

Considering an Apex, DR, RR, Apex ride this evening. Haven't told the wife that's the ride plan yet though...
Stay-cation seems to be rolling along nicely. Eating and sleeping are winning. Music made a bit of an appearance.
Just got these bags from a custom maker in our area (Backcountry Stitch Works). Will use for endurance riding/racing. Probably leave the front triangle one on all the time and use the top-tube one just for long races. Should be able to get a good amount of weight off my back with these. We designed it so I could still use the dropper. Top tube bag has two compartments, one for "quick access". Front triangle bag has one large compartment and the other side is a pocket on the outside for pump, etc.
wfh. took kid into day care this AM, then wife to ultrasound. baby is looking good, just needs to cook a little longer. had mexican for lunch. mmmmmmm rellenos.
sunny and upper 60's outside. if it weren't for meetings, i'd probably ditch and go ride.

What a long week at work. Corporal training is intense and I am still just in the application process. Work is over till Friday, getting the little man ready for a hike, going to set up a game camera to catch some cool pictures, and be outside. Bears are out so spray and pistol will be with.
A swan and a few goose have taken over my fishing spot. I dragged everyone down to the creek with pledges of the honey hole and had to flee the crazy geese. The DEC has been cutting snag lines and instead of pulling them out of the water, they float downstream and the critters get caught in them trying to get the fish out from them. Mostly feral house cats and coyotes. The Eagles are smart about the lines and eat around the hooks. Coyotes not so much.
You're right, my bad. Revised list:
- Coffee.
- Do some dicking around.
- Perpetrate a fraud.
- Do some fvcking off.
- Facilitate the declaration of shenanigans.
- Beer.
Fuck - that's a busy day.
Those hikers ain't gonna run themselves off the trail.Fuck - that's a busy day.
No, but I've been known to kiss a hand and shake a baby or two.
Afternoon. It's spring break here so I am just hanging out at home, cleaning, donating a bunch of outgrown or un-used stuff and applying for jobs (tough market right now for band teachers). Got a nice ride in yesterday with the dog...we definitely tired each other out. I'm halfway through my "detox" and I haven't killed anyone yet so I guess it's going well (no coffee or alcohol for 28 days). I do have more energy and am sleeping a little better so I guess that's good.
Morning in before noon, Monkeys!
What a day, wow. Total noob move on my 17 hour test run and killed it with only the last phase to complete. I was trying to copy/pasta my current console output status did ctrl+c and killed my bash script.
At least I did it at 7 this morning, so I still have time to run to completion before tomorrow EOB.
Other than that, same sh!t, different shovel.
