We got that strong wind and rain blowing through today which also happens to coincide with neighborhood garbage and recycle pickup day. I took the dog to daycare this morning and half of the bins on our street were knocked over with trash everywhere. Whoops. We've got one of those fancy bear-proof bins though so even if it gets knocked over it stays shut. 
Anyway, I slept in and will go for a run later when the weather calms down.

Cough is still lingering with 3 days of antibiotics, I can understand how those with weak immune systems are dying from this crap.
In other news,
Cancun is booked, still shopping for a DH bike or frame

slept like crap last night. Espresso this morning seems to have gotten me past that. Driving to SoCal this afternoon, Probably spend the night in the rest area near Gorman on I5 in the camper and drive into Temecula Saturday morning.
It's keswick green, you can't tell me that's not exactly what you need to go fast.
Todays task is re-pricing a SOW for the 4th(?) time because the customer keeps changing their mind on scope every time it's gone through the approval channels to give them the $$$ amount.
pre order till may, ships end of summer. Race season will be over by then

Ahh, didn't see the medium wasn't available until October. No bueno.
Trying to buy XC race bikes for my wife and I for this season (haven't raced in a long time) I ended up driving 5+ hours to pick hers up in state and arranging to get mine shipped from MA because of availability issues.
I called just about every manufacturer over the last couple weeks and all of them said the same thing, thus I am having to shop used for a race bike to start the season, about ready to mob a Kona I am getting so desperate.
Aaaannnd?
We got 14mm of rain, followed by 9cm of snow yesterday. Funny enough, it's light and fluffy. It's -14°C now and the wind is blowing hard so it feels like -24°C. The city hasn't plowed the sidewalks yet (they must be busy somewhere else I guess?), so we had to walk in the street to get to school. But it's nice and sunny so I'll take it.
About 5-7 inches of snow on the driveway this morning, after shoveling a few last night. Car was a giant frozen popsicle.
Happy it's Friday.
back aches from trying to break some of the thick ice in the driveway before the refreeze.
Just don't get hosed on a used bike price.
This place has one of the "old" Norco frames in stock. If you have the other parts....
Project Bike
Took the day off. Forecast did say storm tonight and rain from noon-ish. Was pretty calm in the morning, so I went to ride the bike. Luckily the bakery with the amazing chocolate cake was kinda on route, so cake was acquired.
Just when I got home it started to rain and later snow. Now rain again and wind starts to pick up.

Great. Now I'm hungry for cake.

How the hell do you sharpen a knife with such a wonky shape, especially the convex parts.
There's no need to sharpen them... none of these knives between @Adventurous and @StiHacka actually get USED for knife shit.

I like to put a razor edge on my 12" Bowie knife then use it to trim the hedges. Sends a message to the neighbors.
Lots of shit just feels off the rails. Work is picking up this week and it’s only the start of my busy season. The pre-post-Covid life is taking a toll, too.
Shall I google it for you?
But yeah, not easy.You are not wrong. Just like you and your mountain bikes.There's no need to sharpen them... none of these knives between @Adventurous and @StiHacka actually get USED for knife shit.
All of the snacktical co-workers have knives like these, but have no idea how to sharpen a knife
I make razors out of scrap when I am bored.
You're not wrong. Although I've only ever owned one mt bike.<snip>
