the espresso is very dark today.....WIN
Dogs woke me up at 0200 with that let us out pacing on the hardwood floor. beats stepping in shit later. Good thing I can fall right back asleep and was able to get another hour in. Have to finish loading my crap into the camper tonight so that I can hit the road right after work tomorrow and head off to do a 3 day EMT gig.

Brain won’t stop being a brain, so I’m awake. Teh Financèe wants to do a workout before she goes in for her shift, so I’m relegated to the back half of our rental. Might as well try and go back to sleep for another hour?
First proper interview of my job search today. Feeling nervous.

Though, that reminds me that I sent a torque wrench out for cal like a month ago and I haven't seen it come back. I should probably follow up on that.
I had a candidate say yes to a job so that is a win today. Fall rain is back so no walks by the beach to break the monotony of life in front of the computer.
I feel better every day with the broken bone but not sure how long it will take before I can get back to normal life. Still difficult to drive and get dressed in anything beside zippered shirts.
Booked: Trains, ferries and automobiles for Saturday travel plans. Almost felt like John Candy.

1. Stress is a bitch
2. How does she do it? It's fucking early?
3. You got this. You've got a mad skill set that they want. There is a reason they (and everyone else) are humping your leg. Just be you (well maybe not 100%), show them what you got, and go for a ride afterwards.
Here. Study. Work.
Leaning more towards getting a trail bike and selling the Mega. Only frustration is that what I'm looking at only has a SRAM build kit option, while I very much prefer Shimano. And given everything else in the house is Shimano, I want to keep it that way. So... Parts swap and no sell before buy option.

I love that our ERP system has no way to designate an alternate part for use, so instead I must create all new part numbers and BOMs to establish said alternative.
Otherwise, slept like poop, it's gonna be sweltering out there, and I've got oodles of stuff to do. Best get to it.
Good luck with the recovery!
Here. Got a ride in late evening yesterday before the weather turned from late summer to fall today. It was surprising busy on the trails, guess more folks had the same idea as I did. Usually I see nobody that late.
Apparently one guy also hit the deck pretty hard at the "river" gap (more like a creek gap) and needed to be driven to the ER by his buddies some of the other riders told me. Not cool.
good luck. It's a good time to be in the job market- you'll kill it if you sprinkle a little confidence in there.
slept like a KING last night, so I got up at "why the fuck are you awake" o clock and did a workout.
row today, light ride tomorrow, fTP test friday? then I start boostin'

Good luck, FT.
I work today. ED and inpatient this and that. On the upside, rehearsal last night, while not perfect, was better than expected both from the perspective of the whole group having taken 17 months off and my own playing.
y tho

Morning Monkeys.
Cold and dark this morning, I'll take it. Have work to do, that sucks. But I also have Friday off, so that's good.
@Full Trucker you got this, man.
<edit> also getting Khao Man Gai from Nong's. It's been forever and it's the most epic chicken and rice you could ever experience. So simple and basic yet so amazing.

First time event last night - Sofa nap followed by a snack.Cleaning up from the snack I thought "did I eat dinner?" I had to look for evidence to verify. I had not eaten dinner.
Getting to be that age.
I'd type "FML" but I don't really have an "L" at this point.
npr just used the intro to "salad days" as its music between segments. so that was pretty cool.
I very much prefer Shimano for mtb, in 30 years and at least a dozen bikes I have never had any issues. Back in the late 90s I had a Sram Gripshift with little carbon bits in the derailleur, that eventually cracked but was still functional as long as you shifted slowly. No warranty from Trek or Sram and I could not afford to replace it at the time. I've avoided Sram until I got my budget built Yeti - it has GX from 2016 and, aside from clunky shifting, it has been much better than expected. I'd intended to swap out the drive bits after a year or two but don't see the need.
Yep. The rear is done, sliced on the bead and a hole big enough to stick a finger through.Both wheels?
Rear wheel has some loose spokes, but still seems round. And no dents on either, though there are two nice gouges in the metal from whatever asshole rock got in the way. Impressed with that so far with these rims...
mmmm espresso.
. That tire looks pretty fresh too.
