Obviously I failed in my attempt to sleep through my alarm. Coffee then I'm out of here. Back muscle is still twingy but suck it up Alice it didn't stop you from riding 27 miles last night
Yawrn...
No allergies here, but I've been battling some bacteria in my respiratory paths for a while. Boss is making everyone in the team go bonkers, perhaps we should just walk out on the moody miserable motherfucker.
Because rain forecast for today, I took apart the bike after ride last night for suspension bearings service. Little did I know the job would be quick, the bearings are re-packed, links re-assembled, almost ready to ride - I just need to re-install the chain. Let's hope this fixes annoying clicking under power as I took and regreased everything else already.
Rattle it now.

Hey there, kind people! LMAO
Signing up for Ironman #3 today. Mont-Tremblant do-over in 2019, although not really a do-over since that implies I had a bad experience last time, when in fact I rocked that shit. In case you were wondering, it is about $600 USD to register, and that is early bird pricing. roffles?

Back in the office after a week and a half of glorious bike riding, swimming, beers and Quebec awesomeness. Afraid to open my email...
We finished the trip off in Ottawa, parked on Bate Island and rode up to Dominion City Brewing. Great little spot, with a patio built around some trees; complete with its own savage tree nut tossing squirrel. Great beer and they have hops wallpaper.
And of course who ever sat at my desk during my absence has left a mess. Ear plugs, safety glasses everywhere, sticky notes....and one of my monitors is missing. wtf?
Coffee it now.

No allergies here, but I've been battling some bacteria in my scrotal paths for a while. Last night I took no painkillers or anti-inflammatories, and there is no extra pain or sensitivity today. :notbad: now I just have 10 more days of horse-pill antibiotics to finish off. Will perhaps try to go for a gentle ride on the weekend. I have an appointment with the Dr. on Friday, so I'll run that idea by her.
How awesome that you made it to the brewery! I really like that place. when I said 3 flags is my favourite beer from them, that's actually the beer you can get outside the brewery. my actual favourite is the Sunsplit IPA. very juicy and cloudy. I like it a lot. What other beers did you get to try out?We finished the trip off in Ottawa, parked on Bate Island and rode up to Dominion City Brewing.

It was awesome there, thank you for the suggestion! The guys serving were pretty cool too, this one younger guy had some great beer backpack cooler ideas haha.

I can't remember exactly what we tried, but we for sure did the Two Flags IPA, Filibuster IIPA and I think the Sunsplit IPA. We took some Laurentian Consensus IPA's on the bikes and enjoyed them on the river later. All great beers.
It was a fun ride back to the car.
Here's the route we took. A heads up display would be awesome for navigating some of the paths; as a non local its crazy when you're flying along and not sure where to go hah. As you can see, we almost completely missed the path up to the brewery. Would have sucked if we kept going....

Mornin' folks. Smoke in the air seems to be doing something irritating to my lookers and my thinker. Been aching all week and hydration is actually not the answer this time. Feeling like I've got a puncture in my space suit as well. Guess all teh green does not make for healthy breathers! Dang. May need to reconsider some life choices so I can make it through future summer endings.
Since I've spent most of my summer as a chauffeur and cheerleader, I hope you will enjoy my little highlight reel for Lucas' last tournament. He has some goalie skills, and a goal assist when he asked to go on the field the last game. I had fun making it.... he's the goalie in yellow and then #24 in the last clip.

you rode right by my office! (I'm right next to the Mosaïca garden). I liked the Laurentian Concensus, it's like the Sunsplit with different yeast as I recall. But it's a seasonal brew for Dominion Day isn't it? Mighta been a bit stale by now? For sure they have some serious knowledge. Next time you're in town, you should look into a "BrewDonkey" tour. They take you on a bus to visit a bunch of local breweries and distilleries. Turns out, only Vancouver has more micro-breweries than Ottawa in all of Canada... There's a solid selection to choose from here now.It was awesome there, thank you for the suggestion!

BrewDonkey tour sounds intriguing. Yeah the Laurentian was only in cans. Couldn't really tell if it was old/stale, as they got shook pretty good on our bikes for 25km. But it was still pretty good.

If I were you, just to be safe, call it now. Head down to AF early.Is it the weekend soon?
Got to file my police report today for my stolen motorcycle. Kinda bummed between that and no promotion. My supervisors replacement is coming in on the 3rd.
We should head up to the mountains: https://www.purpleair.com/map#6/39.363/-104.62
You wear shoes?
Funny you posted that, i was just about to post that some of the guys here are planning to go there soon. Was gonna ask if anyone knew anything about it!Is it the weekend soon?
Can't even find them right now.
Edit:
Huh... The sensor in the springs is no more than half a mile from the house, right by where I run. TIL

This. I can usually see Pike's from my office. I can barely see the bluffs which are, which are 6 miles away.
Is there a Front Range fire I'm missing? Or is this all from the CA and WA fires?
And OR, MT, ID.
There's still a bunch in CO, but huge chunks of the western US and Canada have fires ongoing.

CA, WA, OR, MT, ID, and British Columbia...
Holy shit - one of those in western BC is apparently over 1/2 million acres... impressive...
Mornin!
Waking up in Anchorage, but it’s off to the Kenai Peninsula today. Gonna go hike to some glaciers and try to avoid getting eaten by a bear.

Do you remember which one?
The top one here (Elephant Hill) says it was started last year. Dayum.

And caused by humans... 191865 hectares.
great. i just inherited another fucking CAPA.
I dunno what the name was - it is just outside Bella Coola. 230,000 hectares. If you add in the one *just* to the north (48,000 hectares), it's a total of 680,000 acres...Do you remember which one?
