32 miles at Kingdom Trails yesterday. 3600' of climbing. My legs are achy today, but it will be all day riding again.
It's weird that the palms of my gloves spell "ILLCHI." Also, HandUp gloves are of questionable quality.

Did some gardening expanding the rhododendron section to give more space to a large plant and close a hole in my wall of green facing the street. Hoping rain will clear up for a bike ride later.
Face look pretty battered from the kill damaged cells treatment the other day but I was warned.

FML. Last thing to be done before the sale of the house was a chimney inspection I volunteered to have done, above and beyond the scope of the normal house inspection. You can probably guess how that went. He says the flue and liner are fine but the exterior rockwork is a 6-7 thousand dollar safety hazard. And now, I can't even get the guy who did the inspection to get back to me with a detailed invoice or to even answer his phone or texts. Every other chimney sweep/inspector is 2-4 weeks out and we're supposed to close on Wednesday. This whole process is hanging on what this guy will put to paper and hes fucking ghosting me. I can't sleep and am vaguely nauseous.
Was going to get very high, but going to have to delay to tomorrow as I don't want to be at 12,500 with 40mph gusts. Below is for Breck which is at ~9600ft, so it would be colder and windier up on top of the Tenmile mountain range.
It's God damn delightful out this morning. Cool and crisp with the threat of rain. Taking the dog for a walk now, will go pick apples in a bit.
just explain problem to new owner...subtract 10k and call it a day...?

Let's get some racing on.
Teammate who Haley decided to get Cole Trickle with at the last state race is right next to us again. We were earlier and he was pretty clear about how he thinks that they can work together to to go after the podium. Let's see how they do.

you guys still have home inspections for sales out there?

Hey, at least I'm planning to descend Miner's for the first time. Having only climbed it on previous rides.

Whereabouts?

Had a dozen of my friends over to my camper last night for Tamales and beer. Good times were had.
Enjoying my espresso and hanging out at the show barn with friends

Sounds like dude smelled a check and embellished the situation, with you in a timeline/desperate moment.
Fuckem
The kiddos are fighting illness. The tendonitis in my thumb sucks.
All the spiders are trying to get inside. Must mean the weathers changing.
They are back in vogue now that real estate has cooled somewhat. I'm of the opinion that only a complete fucking moron buys a home without an inspection, no matter how hot the market is
This is my opinion as well. Still waiting to hear back from the buyer, but if it's anything other than "we don't care", I'm definitely seeking another opinion. I'll be sweating blood if we do it, but we still have the option of a HELOC if this sale falls through and another offer on this place of "please let us know if it falls through". So I'm not entirely swinging in the breeze here. The timing is certainly unfortunate, but I may be willing to die on this hill.
Edit to add; and if this guy is trying to soak me, he's doing a shitty job because I can't even get him to answer his phone or return a message. For all he knows I'm trying to schedule the repair.
This is how my BIL did it in Ohio a few years back. And your assertion is supported by him...
When I was buying it was rare to be able to inspect a house. I paid for one on the first house I made an offer on, followed the guy around to see what he did, then basically did my own inspections after that. Yeah your not supposed to show up at a viewing with a ladder and a bag of tools, but when you do it at 10:00PM no one notices.
Pretty sure it must be Joe Biden's fault.
y tho
Got a home inspection on the first joint and had a buncha stuff go wrong that shoulda been caught. Second time around, we didn't get an inspection and did our own due diligence and haven't had any surprises. Of course, that's purely anecdotal and a sample size of two does not make a trend.
damn, there are still bidding wars here. inspections? fuhgettaboutit
Replaced one of the rear seat belts in the Mazda. Kind of a PITA with all the trim and shit that had to be removed.
I should go for a bike ride now.

I gambled that it wouldn't rain on my ride. I lost the bet, soaked to the bone.
But my bones were already wet, so no biggie.
