Turdsday

Took apart the 36 on teh trail bike last night and thoroughly cleaned it, removed damper, secus, and oil seals, it is ready for bushing burnishing and re-assembly with teh Avy-lanche cartridge + Luftkappe. Craig's instructions are a bit chaotic for my uneducated brain, the bleeding exercise is going to be interesting.
Side note: the Fox damper took some non-trivial persuasion to un-thread, gotta love the factory hamfisted assembly (TM) experience.

Lupercalia.
I am here.
Slept well, little guy woke up once looking for water but didn't complain about his stomach or ankles, so that was good. He seems to be improving.

The thing about this waking up early bullshit. Is I don't need an alarm clock now. I have no qualms about waking up folks early also. Pay backs are a bitch. I thought I would stop being bitter about all those folks who have been waking up early all along. I have not. I drove to the pool at the JCC to do a few laps. There was like a thousand old people there. Trying to be like IAB and swimming a thousand laps. I ended up having eggs and salami in the cafeteria instead.
Morning Monkeys.
Follow up interview is Wednesday at 2:30 with the guy who used to do what would be my job. Not sure how to approach it seeing how he isn't a QA guy, he's a guy who used to try to do QA before they let him be a developer. His LinkedIn shows him as a C# developer, but the owner made it sound like everything they do is in low level C or C++, so who knows. The bulk of my recent experience is in C# but I'm no developer.

Yes indeed, this is Tuesday and it is Valentine's Day. Got the wife a card, chocolates and a plant. What can I say, I'm a romantic.
Also got like 3" of snow last night, so likely everything will be shut down. Rain is no issue in the PNW, but snow straight freaks people out.
went through my fridge last night and made a bunch of juice. pineapple, blueberry, orange, and grape. work leaves out free fruit, nobody takes the oranges. i will now take the oranges and have free juice.
Supposed to pickup the car today.
Call the place just to double check that its actually ready, as it is almost a two hour friggin' drive. Call them and they ask what time I'm supposed to pick it up at, so I tell them "Tuesday". Exactly what the guy told me on Friday. Of course I get put on hold and when they come back, they say that that guy isn't here until 10am. Ughhhh used car salespeople....
They said that guy gets in at 10 and he'll call me back. I aint waiting, I'm calling at 10:03, I have to get this shit on the road and avoid having to come home anywhere close to rush hour. I also have a tire appointment waiting, for them to swap over the winters, which I'd like to get done today because car insurance reasons.

So much drama in the L.B.C......
are you traffic yet?
Got a hankering to watch Caddyshack after getting into quoting the movie on facebook.
Thursday is shaping up to be a high of over 60*. Might have to dust off the real road bike for some fun.

Happy V-day everyone! When dropping off my kiddo, much insanity was witnessed. Glad I'm not a teacher today.
In other news, I've got a hankering for owning a 4x4 backhoe. Facebook marketplace is not my friend. Stop looking at facebook marketplace.
I've got the cash I was saving for my Ford Maverick purchase (ordered over 12 months ago). Still no pickup truck. It could be turned into a nice used backhoe easily.

Discovered a cut in the front sidewall on a GP 5000 TL at the weekend, took the old one off, new one is being a bitch and won't mount without 5 hands and 7 tyre levers. I hate this tyre and my LB carbon combination. Then I noticed the rear tyre was down past the wear indicators...
At least that will be the end of my stockpile of older GP 5000 TL's. I'm hoping the newer 5000 S TR's are easier to mount when the time comes...
My understanding was that the TR is mostly easier than the TL, though also maybe not. I opted for latex tubes because of that. They were easy to get on, inflated big and fat, and I guess if I'm real concerned I can throw some sealant in there as well.
Also I couldn't find the TR anywhere in stock.
JFC. Two of idiots in my office decided that we needed to hire an ad agency. I’m not opposed, but there is a lot of shit out there. They chose one, paid them $5,000 for 3 ads. The first ad is a Fucking Chevrolet truck ad. I found the same image in Chevys website in about 10 seconds. Blatant copyright infringement. I honestly hope someone at the agency gets fired.
Your agency, or the ad agency?

So, understandably, our marriage is crumbling a little bit under the weight of grief. Not here to whine, but could use some advice. Any real thoughts on a good Valentines day offering that is not cheesy...more of a recognition of her as a partner more than a romantic gambit?

Shit, dude, all I know is that at 3:00 am everything was pretty turdly. Sorry for the confusion!Being picky here, but also Turdsday ≠ Tuesday.
I keep thinking I missed something and that its Thursday.
She looks Austrian == not giving two shits about the Hallmark holiday.
Or German. Or Suisse. Or French. Likely not Portuguese.
