A contractor's supposed to show up at 8 AM to look at rot on north corner of our house.
present. going into the office briefly later this morning for the first time since march.
Wowza!
Up early. Stressed about an upcoming meeting. Grilled some chicken wings yesterday, sold my old rollers, and had a nice socially distant visit from the 6th fam.
Coffee, work, maybe ride.
they're basically boats.
hey lol. I spent an hour running circles around the high school track early this morning and left about five pounds of sweat and snot behind. Humidity right now is awful. Looks like I am going for an MTB ride tonight.
Mornin!
FedEx says my rims will be delivered today instead of tomorrow. Time to get lacing! Woot!
Refreshing my wheelbuilding knowledge via Sheldon Brown. That dude was a wealth of knowledge.

i wonder what he'd have to say about all this BOOST nonsense.
Considering how much of a curmudgeon he was about the industry moving from 36 to 32 hole rims, I'd wager he would be pretty salty about the annual iteration of BOOST.
yea i heard he could be a bit of a grump. i can only imagine him ranting about DUB bottom brackets.
Work is giving me the stressies. Ride last night helped, let's see how mad today gets. Weather sucks so no solid ride tonight.
I'm glad I haven't followed the technological "advances" in the biking world in years. It's like they are trying to parody themselves at this point.

SRAM's New DUB Cranks and Bottom Brackets - First Look - Pinkbike
SRAM's new cranksets have a new spindle size and a revised bottom bracket design, but they'll fit into any frame.
Check out Hambini on youtube if you really want to dive down the hole of the bike (road) industry shiiiiite.
Makes me
but also at the same time.

At this point, the only failures I experience with components is almost entirely due to inadequate R&D and manufacture, not stiffness, longevity, or the myriad of other reasons the industry comes up with to justify their new "standard".
morning , poop sample collected and sent off for my annual cancer screening. now for espresso , seems backwards some how. easy day only 9 transports on the docket but all in Fremont. It's going to be in the 90s to 100 all week. Le suck
Because some knucklehead formatted the drive on my work laptop as case-sensitive (and many softwares that I will use on the regular do not like that) I will be cloning this bad larry to an external drive, reformatting the internal SSD, and then restoring my backup later today. For the love of all that's holy, just shoot me in the face now.
But also, bike ride later. So that's fun.

Here. Taking the day off for more construction. Planning on finishing baseboards (just stairs down and some painting left), trying to run Romex without cutting another hole in the ceiling (even though I had one there and the contractor never told his paint/drywall guy to not patch that hole), and then paint some doors.
Contractor still hasn't showed up for his ladders yet or even responded to the fact that he's been fired. I'll give him until Thursday before I tell him his shit is on the side of the house with his final check taped to it and to come get it.
I've also decided to write off the side of the garage where the M was parked and turn it into a shop. Once everything is done, I'll be building an 8x4 workbench on rollers that is the same height as my table saw so that I can use it as a runout. I'd prefer it taller, but want the integration with the table.

Sounds like Stoney needs a new house with a bigger garage.
I “rode” White Ranch this morning, then took Things 2 and 3 for their well-child visits. Baby Aya cried with her shots for about 30 seconds. She is a tough cookie.
Working 2-10 PM or so after a Japanese bakery run.

Man, it sure is a good thing your bike is non-functional right now.
Have you finalized your itinerary?
I'll be down by West Yellowstone (Island Park ID) off and on the next 2 weeks, reach out if you want to grab a socially distant beer, need a shower and/or a place to crash.
CrApple...
i will try not to be anti social this trip and see what happens....
thanks for always offering.
Do it. @Montana rider is in a pretty awesome corner of the world. Just watch out for his potent triple IPAs.

you really do owe a post in the new bike thread with a bunch of specs on that bougie-ass ride.
i do not fuck with beer or alcohol anymore....well i never fucked with beer and generally only fucked with whiskey...Do it. @Montana rider is in a pretty awesome corner of the world. Just watch out for his potent triple IPAs.
I only shopped for high ABV because the Czechs were comingJust watch out for his potent triple IPAs.
It's all good, we have Mormons and chocolate milk in Northern Idaho too -- though if you're fucking beer you may be doing it wrong. No worries either way...

I liked it a lot when I read it ages ago. It appears that Trump finally merged Biff Loman and Biff Tannen.
Tannen was actually based, in part, on trump
ridden by a bear after liberating it from a house....
