KESSLER PROBLEM. Just cause

Warsaw :/
Started a new Jurb on Tuesday. The people are great but my old office was 15 minutes walking from my flat. New one is 50 plus I kinda need to be there at 9 not 9.45. Waking at 7.30 sucks dick. The job is great though and sooner than later I will work partially remote. Now I just need to meet my team, coworkers and such. Plus manage a few big things fast but those should be fairly easy since I'm good at my job. The only thing that takes time is realizing what are the limits of what I can do and what I can't.

Did some shopping, swore at the welder, ripped weeds out, went for a ride, drank a boozy ginger beer and ate chocolate.
It's raining now so maybe more welding practice tomorrow, want to try some inch thick plate and multi layer wizbangery.

Up early to be at the track on time. Hannah is moving slow and was up late last night, so I'm not optimistic. Qualifying and two heats today.

I have no idea where I am
Oof, back from the dead. Had a massive shoulder spasm that then turned into a full blown back spasm including balls that felt like I had been kicked repeatedly. Had to start a round of steroids (Prednisone) which pretty much alleviated the pain but made me sweat profusely all night to the point that I had to wrap myself in bath towels to absorb the sweat. I don’t sweat that much on a three hour ride with 80% humidity. Not fun.

So what did I miss ?

Team sugar for taste alone but no shit:

it's entirely extrapolation from survey questions they answered at 3 time points in their lives. quality of this kind of evidence is very, very low

"A validated diet history questionnaire was administered at baseline, year 7, and year 20 examinations in 3088 men and women enrolled in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults cohort"

We were late. Mad dash rush to get everything up and ready for practice. Dropped another second, but still a bit behind the group. She got spun on the second session and separated from the group, which doesn't help when pushing for faster times. But getting there.

Qual 8/12. But wait! The whole field went through tech and 4 DQ and failed. All had the carb cap milled. Haley, is now 4th going into the first heat race.

We are going to see Barbie. Wife is all pissed off that I'm not all dressed up in pink, and called me a fun hater. I don't actually own anything pink...yeesh
Surely you can replicate something like this -- it's not only pink AND no one will know it's you...

Bicycled.

Garmin was saying 103F on the climb back up to home. Limped up to shade and thankfully a rain shower knocked 20F off that for the remainder of the climb.
